CHICAGO, June 2s.--The chief Of
police Of the town OF Lake appeared at
the extensive switching yards Of the
Lake Shore railroad at 8 o'clock this
morning with . police force Of one hum
dIed men, including "specials " and
Pinkerton's police, and at once began to
clear the yards of strikers and idlsrs.
Very few Of the latter had entered the
yards, but remained in large groups
just beyond the railroad tracks intently
| watching the movements of the railroad
people. Several hundred men, how
ever, remained in the close vicinity Of
the round-house and the cars OF the
Lake-Shore road, and refused to obey
the order Of the police to move. Clubs
we're drawn and several rushes were
made at these groups, the police using
their clubs and in one Of the encoun-
ters Detective Finn, Of the Lake Shore
police, knocked one Of the men down.
He is the only person reported to have
sustained any serious injury. The
crowd gradually withdrew from the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the yards. The
company has made no attemp. to move
any cars up to 9 o'clock.
Preparations for determined effort
10 move the trains on the Lake Shore
tc day were perfected by the officials
yesterday. They were somewhat elated
by the success attending the efforts OF
Captain Hunt, OF the Hyde-Park po.
lice, in the police protecting the tran
which was taken out late Saturday
evening. and the fact that so many ar
rests Of the strikers and their symps-
ihizers hs1 been made. On the other
hand, the strikers presented bold
front. They renewed their deter
mipation to stop the movement
Of all freight trains at all hazards.
They still profess not to be response
bic for the trouble Of Saturday, and a
reward has been offered for the discoye-
~ Of the man who cooked" the
switch on Saturday. Shortly after 6
o'clock this morning Chilly" Pinker-
ton, in charge Of large number of spe-
cial police, was taken to the town OF
Lake. On their arrival there they
were sworn lin as special officers.
Thirty switcfiDen to take the place OF
strikers were also sent down. About
hundred special police arrived in
special train of three cars at $3.50, and
were also taken to Forty-third street.
A dozen or more imported switchmen
were also on board.
There was this morning an under
current OF excitement and suspense
that BODIED exciting developments du-
ring the day. The town Of Lake de-
iectiyes started through the yards re.
peating the following formula: "All
you people must move. DO not con-
gregate in groups on the tracks or cross
ipgs, or we will be obliged to take
means to dieperse you, and we will do
it. too" The crowd moved back sur
lily and momentarily increased in num-
bers. Some resistance was shown in
moving off Root street, and one man
was severely beaten by policeman.
The excitement rapidly increased, and
by Q o'clock the crowd was ready for
anything. Shortly after O'Clock the
town Of Lake police cleared the tracks
and streets leading to them Of the
crowds who were on them. Just after
this PinkeIton with l24 OF bis men ap.
peaIed on the scene. Many of them
were armed with Winchester rifles.
IL 4. M.-There are fully 200 police
and specials stationed along the Lake
Shore tracks between Forty-frst and
Forty fifth streets. About 100 arc reg
ular police Of the town Of Lake and
Pinkerton's police, and nearly 100 are
specials in the employ Of the Lake Shore
road, the latter Of whom are armed with
Springfield breech-loading mnskets.
These men are guarding the round-house
tracks of the Lake Shore road at inter-
walls Of fifty yards, and no one is allowed
to approach the switches or property OF
the railroad.
Deputy-Sheriff Gleason appeared at
Forty first street shortly after 10 O'Clock
accompanied by six deputies. This
is the first time since the strike
began that any Of the representatives
Of the Sheriff have been on the grounds.
The chief deputy read the riot act at
four points along the line Of the Lake
Shore road between Forty-iirst aud
EDglewood, and the police and "pecial
deputies began TO clear the tracks. The
crowd moved Off quietly after the read
ing of the riot act, and up TO III O'Clock
everything renamed quiet in the
vicinity Of the railroad tracks from the
city limits as far south as Englewood.
The Lake Shore Company succeeded
in making train Of fourteen freight
and caboOse-cars, and started South at
1855 without molestation. A few
minutes before the train started five OF
the strikers ventured into the yards at |
Forty-third street, and, refusing to move,
we're handled roughly by the police,
and one was placed under arrest; the |
others moved off. The strikers congre-
gated on State street aud intimated that
they will attempt no demonstration In
tie presence Of the armed force now on
the ground. The railroad company |
has brought out eigh. engines and has
sent six down the road, each having on
board deputy sheriff and squad OF
men armed with Winchesters.
These locomotives are employed as
scouts to see that the tracks and
switches are protected and ready for
the passage Of regular freight trains.
No molestation has been offered to the
men on board Of these engines.
OF the men arrested by the HYDE
Park police for completely in Saturdays

are refused bail. and some are unable to
find sureties. The police believe they
have evidence enough to convict Frank
Day, who is under lock and key for
throwing the mail-train off the track

Chicago Jail who gave his name as John
Z. Sullivan is Edward Sullivan, who
was discharged from the Nickelplate
Shops two weeks ago. Captain Hunt
