BULLDozrNG A AAcHISIsT.
Dick Clark, a machinist recently
employed at the Missouri Pacific shops,
seems 10 have incurred the ill-will OF
the strikers. A few days ago he was
asked by Master Mechacin Weller to
assist in placing an engine in order
and complied with the request. He
had been at work only few minutes
when he was waited upon by a mem
Der of the executive committee of the
Knights of Labor and asked to quit.
He did as requested and has been
idle since. Yesterday morning when
he arose he found note, as follows,
under his door, it having been placed
there during the night:
"Dick Clark-You Are rEqested.. too
Keep away from shops. By order COM
mittee."
"P. s.N. B."
The coffin does not bear the K. of
L. seal, but the coffin answers every
purpose.
BEFORE JUDGE sTRoTHER.
Yesterday forenoon Robert Jami-
son, Oscar Dugan, John Tegler, Thos.
Duckworth, John Collins and r. j.
Shelly were arraigned before Judge
Strother, in the circuit court, charged
with having violated the injunction
granted the Missouri Prcifc railway
company a few days ago. Investiga-
ton disclosed that Shelly and Collins
were not included in the list of those
enjoined, hence the cases against
them were dismissed. The remaining
tour defendants entered into bond in
the sum of 5000 to appear at the May
term to purge themselves of contempt
of court, and the days business was at
an end. Judge Strother did not
state it in so many words, but he in
timated strongly that in case he was
called here again the parties arTaigned
before him would be sent 10 Jail in
stead of being admitted to bail.

of the 10Th inst, when the strikers or |
their sympathizers boarded the Kirk
