 DENIsoN, Texas, March 23.-At 1 o'clock
 to-day switch engine was brought out of
 the Missouri Pacific round house for the pur-
 pose of switching freight cars to be unload
 ed. Several cars of beer, ice and oil were
 coupled on and were switched to the unload
 ing tracks. Fully one thousand strikers and
 citizens had assembled to see what would be
 done. The strikers made move to disable
 the engine, but as if by magic force of dep
 uty sheriffs appeared armed with Winchest-
 CTS. They ordered the strikers to stand
 back and stood ready to fire at the first man
 that made a break. The strikers made no further attempt to stop the work, but re-
 mained around. Five of the leading Knights
 were arrested and taken to jail. Excitement runs high and serious trouble is expected. The Knights swear that no freight shall move and it is evidently the intention of the officers to take freight trains out. Business
 is almost at a standstill.
 ST. LOUIS, March 23.-The day has been one of considerable excitement and rumors have flown thick and fast, yet nothing has occurred except the somewhat exciting scenes attendant upon the attempt of the Missouri Pacific to run out frei sht train. At $40 a Missouri Pacific engine came from the shops crowded. with policemen and detectives. As it slowly backed down the fireman sprang from the cabin amid cheers. Then detec- to the yards where the train was to be made up. The crowd now num- bered five hundred. Trainmaster Clark was making up the train, assisted by detective, when the latter in his greenness threw @ switch the wrong way, demolishing several cars. The crowd cheered. Then the engineer was asked to leave his engine, but he refus- ed. As soon as start was made with the four cars suIging mass parted the train in as many cars as there were cars. Attention being attracted to one side by the rush this quiet work had been done on the other un- seen. The engine shot ahead, but stopped and returned. After calling out all the re- served detectives in the yards for guard duty tue dGLcApG was dDduuOuGu auu Gu0 0uRlU6 returned to the shops amid loud cheers.
 The truth is there is sort of hesitancy on both sides to come up for the final bout. Every hour of delay in improved by both in their lines and neither feel like taking a very decided offensive tone. There is no telling when more men will be called out by the Knights and there is no knowing what move the railway people will next make. The result of the meeting of citizens, tomorrow night will probably be awaited by all before any further new steps are taken on either side. The indications, however, are that upon that result hinges much. The Knights declare their readiness to either fight or settle, but are determined to participate in the settle ment. The policy of the railways cannot be guessed, but it looks much like waiting one. The strikers have not yet been paid for Feb ruary, neither have the employees suspended for lack of work, and considerable dissatis- faction exists on that score among strikers and suspended men.
 SEDALIA, Mo-, March 24.-At o'clock this afternoon a freight train gotten out of the yards under strong guard and when the city limits were reached the sheriff and his deputies took charge. When about three miles from the city the engine and six cars were ditched from causes as yet unknown. The engineer and fireman jumped before the train left Gu6 ITdCh dlo cSCdp0u oL0 Oepuby sheriff and citizen of Sedalia, who had vol to act as guard and who were on top of the train, were caught in the wreck and fatally injured. Three other special of ficers were seriously hurt. Three thousand people went out to view the wreck. The en- zine lies on it's side and the cars and their contents are total wreck.
 PALESTINE, Texas, March 23.-At o'clock this afternoon large crowd of strikers and others assembled about the railroad yards and made threatening demonstrations.
