Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1886-04-11

the railroad crossings, ana 81 street cor
ners there have been small gatherings OF
disconnected men, but they are quietly DIS
! persed by sentinels. The Sheriff has dis
missed all of his deputies with the excep-
| ton of three or four men, depending en-
tirelv upon the troops under their protec-
| ton. All the platform men and yardmen
| az Abe Burlington road have returned, and
| freight trains are now moving this morn
ing without moleststion. Two freights ar
rived over the same road this morning. A
norton OF the men employed at the Chi
caeo and Alton and the Ohio aud Missis.
sinpi roads have returned, and they are
handling without difficulty all the freight
offered. Incoming passenger trains over
| all the roads, without exception, arrived
| close 10 schedule time, and were sent over
| the bridge into the city. The Bridge
| Transfer Company also sent over to st.
| Lonis o train Of 20 coal cars. The Bridge
| Company has all it's 20 switch engines fully
| manned, and but for the absence OF their
ward switchmen they would be able to

| few of the railroad officials have remained
| here on duty, but in the confusion and
| alarm occssioned by the fires last night
| there we're very few in authority who
| could even guide the troops to the scebe of
the burning cars. General Manager
Stone, OF the Burlington road, who
remained OF the scene, personally dis
patched all the men in his employ at 8
O'Clock yesterday, and in the capacity of
Deputy Sheriffs went to the Louisville and
Nashville freight depot. where 40 un-
armed clerks were imprisoned AID were
afraid to leave the building TO encounter
the angry crowds which remained in the
vicinity. They found no difficulty in leav-
| ing the scene under the guidance of these
| armed civilians. Both Sheriff and Mayor
hold to the view that the presence of SOL
| diers is all that Ia required to restore peace
end order. The city authority is con.
| fessedly weak, and the sentiment OF the
community is illustrated somewhat in the
fact that among the strikers arrested q few
days ago by the Sheriff, when released on
bail, were sworn in as city policemen and
came in conflict with the State officers rep
| resented by the Deputy Sheriffs.
1890 P. MA few strikers have APP
preached near the Relay depot in squads
throughout the forenoon and watched the
movements OF the troops. Some Of these,
known to the railroad officials as leaders
of a violent section, have been pointed
out and placed under arrest. Seven or
| eight of these men are now under an
armed guard near the Relay depot. Shortly
after IL O'Clock a striker named Alexander
Sweeney was challenged by a sentry paned
Kent, q private in Company G OF the Fifth
Infantry, to an Injunction to move on"
He drew a revolver, and remarked: "You
| are too pretty to shoot" He turned to
walk away. but returned, and, turning alb
| ruptIy, fired at Kent. The latter dubbed
his musket. knocked away the revolver and
took the man in charge. He was placed
among the others arrested. The affair
created no special excitement, although
| the shot was fired directly in the line OF
the troops and civilians about the depot.
II trapspires that a young man named
Andrew Jones, q Knight of Labor. was
shot yesterday, and is not expected TO live
through the day. He will make the eighth
person killed thus far.
