committee at Aurora. BauerelSen Is
also one of the principal members of the
Brotherhood on the whole Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy railway systems, as we'll as
a leader in the strike. Broderick, who is
member of the Brotherhood, was at this
time at Creston, Ia, and in close communi-
and members of the Brotherhood,
and had repeatedly requested Bauereisen to
send Bowles with his goods (dynamitel to
Creston, as that was a favorable place for
operations, owing to the strong support
they would receive from the brotherhood
there.
DELIVERED THE EXPLOSIVES
Bowles accordingly went to Creston,
where he met Broderick and delivered to
him the dynamite and caps Shortly after
Bowles left Creston, and few hours after
ward an explosion took plac In the west
end of the Creston yard. Here all the cir
cumstances of the previous explosion were
repeated, but 10 serious damage was done
to the engine. Unexploded dynamite was
found, two exploded caps and the remnants
of the paper casing of cartridge.
The following week there was all explo-
lion just south of the town of Creston.
This explosion occurred on a rainy
night, and the evidences of dynamite
were not as complete as in the
other case, but were sufficient to leave no
room Tor doubt.
THE LAST OUTRAGE.
Another abortive attempt was made on
Thursday night, July 5, just east of
Creston, During this time Broderick and
Bowles had been furnished with funds and
letters of Introduction to various members
of the brotherhood, stating that they were on
secret business of the utmost Importance to
to the Brotherhood. aud asking co-opera-
tion In every possible way from all mem
berS to whom they were presented. Letters
of this character were found on
their person when they were ar
rested. Broderick before going to the train
at Aurora on Thursday afternoon went
to the hall of the brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers and there got a package of
dynamite, which was afterward taken by
him, Bowles and Wilson on the train with
them.
TAKEN THERE BY BAUEREISEN.
This package of dynamite had been taken
by Bauereisen to the Brotherhood hall for
Broderick. He was, therefore, arrested bv
the United States marshal as an accomplice.
Mr.. Stone declined to enter more fully into
| the character of the proofs of these acts. As
to the danger to trains passing over the
road he ridiculed the idea, as all
that any serious attempts are
impossible. Mr.. Stone further said that
these attempts to injure the company's
| property were by no means the first of the
| attempts of the brotherhood in that direc-
| tion.
HoGE's ALLEGED CIRCULAR.
On April IA Mr.. Hoge, the chairman Of
| the general grievance committee, issued a
| circular to the chief engineers of a number
| of divisions of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
| tive Engineers, reading as follows:
| CHICAGO, ILL., April 1c 1885
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy have
| only got about one half of the @ men prior to
| the strike. They want about 4e0 or 500 more
| engineers. We have decided to call upon you
| to furnish one or two men from your division.
| We will ask the same of all the divisions
| throughout the country, to come and apply for
| situations on the 20" under assumed name,
| and as soon as they get to work to cor
! respond with John Sewers, National hotel,
| Chicago, for instructions, The object is to dis
| able engines in every way they can, and on a
| given day to quit work In body, after recev-
| ing instructions from us, The company is on
| its last leg and by this means we propose TO
| take the other. We don't want any of them
| to come here, but to make applications at the
! following points: Aurora. Galesburg, Burling-
| ton, Creston, Plattsmouth, Lincoln and Nc
| Cook Be very careful who you select to come
| men that don't talk too much or who are
in the habit OF drinking. Supply them
Have them get leave of absence of thirty or
more days
+. o.-fi6aso OOD IeC JllS OUTSIDE except
within yourselves and those you select to come.
Please answer on receipt of this.
THE COMPANY WELL SUPPLIED.
At the time, however, that Hoge issued
the circular the company was fully supplied
with engineers and had a large number of
applications from reliabl men, with good
references, for any vacancies which might
occur. A number of attempts were
made to carry out the suggestion
of the circular, but in ali
cases the applicants were refused employ
ment. The company knowing the charao-
ter Of the leader of the strike with whom it
| had to DEAL had been on its guard against
this very sort of thing from the first days of
the strike. Mr.. Stone explained that the
sal soda was put into the tanks of tue en-
| gines SO that water when being pumped
into the boiler would foam so as to prevent
the engine from getting dry steam
and make it impossible for it
to proceed, and to cause the
burning of the crown sheets of the fire
boxes. The emery was TO be thrown into
the bearing surfaces of the different parts
of the machinery, causing the bearings to
run hot, or even to ruin them.
The officers who went to Aurora to-day
returned tonight, bringing with them
Aleck Smith, striking fireman, who is
said to have handled some of the dynamite
cartridges.
A HARD DEATH ON THE GIBBET.
