THE STRIKE oNTHE 3. AND N.

ST. PAUL, March THE strike of the
Brotherhood of Engineers on the Burling-
ton g. Northern road, which has been i'm
pending for several days, is on. The men
went out at 10 o'clock this morning, or
as soon thereafter as they pulled the trains
to the end of their divisions. When
everything is running smoothly, fully 15O
engineers and as many firemen are en-
ployed, but the strike on the 90 system,
of which the Burlington & Northern is a
feeder, has reduced the number to about
seventy-fve.
All of the suburban trains ran today as
usual The afternoon train for Chicago
left on time with Master Mechanic Bryant
in charge A Reading engineer had charge
of the O'Clock train for LaCross. lie en-
deavored to start the engine with the
driver brakes, but finally managed to get
off amid the jeers of the crowd. Travel
ing Engineer McGlynn was in charge OF
the evening train for Chicago, which also
pulled out On time.
No freight is being carried to day, and it
is said that with the present cut rates IN
force the company is Indifferent as to an
immediate resumption of that branch OF
their business. The Omaha has felt the
movement of the strike and announces to-
day, that for the present, the through
sleeping car service to Kansas City will be
discontinued, and the sleeper will run to
Council Bluffs only. The Omaha runs
into Kansas City from Council Bluffs over
the ST. Joseph & Council Bluffs ROAD, which
is part of the 20" system, so that their &C
ton is apparent.
General Manager Egan, of the st. Paul
s. Kansas City. returned from Chicago to-
day, where he has been to see Chief Arthur
in regard to the rumored tie up of all
northwestern roads. Chief Arthur states
that he has ordered no strike in the north
own responsibility This the men admit,
but they confidently rely upon the support
of the entire brotherhood. A meeting is
being held by the brotherhood this even
ing, when it is expected a decision will be
reached as to the advisability of general
strike involving all the northwestern
roads. ...

ADDITIONAL STRIKE NEWS.
The Strikers Determined to Hold Their
Position-Other Labor News.

CHICAGO. March THE full support of
the entire Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen has been pledged
to their members on any and all ROADS
throughout the United States, who deem
it necessary to strike and formally decide
to do so in order to uphold their brethren
on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.
This information was obtainified through
another source. 1t can also be stated upon
authority that the general meetings of the
local grievance committees of various
roads held today were in each case con-
vened for the purpose of discussing the adj
visibility of strike on that part of the
road, and if such q radical step was not
considered essential, the object was to de-
eide what measures, in lieu thereof, should
be adopted. The sanction of the general
executive of the brotherhood thus given
in advance to the strike OF the
men on any road was scarcely OBJ
tanned at the conference of the general
grievance committee of the brotherhood
held here Monday. 1t no longer rests with
Chiefs Arthur and Sargent to say that the
men on any road should, if they strike,
would be backed up by the brotherhood as
a whole The men on any single railroad
system or half dozen systems have 1T now
absolutely in their power not only to say
whether they will strike, but also whether
they shall strike with the whole might of
the brotherhood behind them. That the
men are not disposed to use with
undue haste the weapons in their
grasp may be partly inferred from the fact
that although several meetings were held
today each clothed with complete authority
to declare strike affecting a vast stretch
of territory, no such declaration had been
made up to this evening. At least two
meetings of the kind mentioned are known
to have been in this city today. Others
are said to have been convened in Rock
Island, Omaha and Kansas City.

Golden City and Escapes.
GOLDEN CITY, Ark, Feb. 1l.-[Special Tel
egram to the BEE. Oscar Golfer, despe-
RADIO and peddler of whisky in the Indian ter
ritory, has had grudge against the Maseys,
Millers, Conners and Montgomerys for sew
eral years. He sent word few days ago
from his hiding place that he was comiyg
into this section prepared to wipe out old
scores, which caused quiet preparation to
greet him among his opponents He came
mounted on spirited horse, and with Win
chester and several revolvers as compan-
ions, he went to the home of Miller, but the
latter was absent and he continued to the
store of Massey, where he appeared
friendly to his former foe. This action
quieted Masey's apprehensions, but when
he turned his head Golfer fired from his
hip striking Massey in the bowels. Both
clinched and Massey emptied his revolver at
Golfer, the balls falling flattened upon the
floor as if Golfer were covered with a coat Of
mail He then pushed his dying victim from
him and blew the top of his head off. Mount
ing his horse he flew to the mountains and
followed by Miller and Conners was hard
pressed. He was wounded twice but eff
fected his escape and was last heard of in the
Choctaw nation. There is a reward of 81 800
offered for his capture. Fifty dollars will be
paid for his arrest and delivery at any Jail in
the United States and S25 will be paid for any
information or description which will lead to

gram to the BEE. Tho freight war is in a

seem to have gotten more than they bar
gained for, as they do not now slash as freely.
The Rock island cut from 10 cents to 9 cents
from Chicago and 81 cents to Missouri river
points on lumber this morning. This was not
met at once by the other roads, but it is un-
derstood they will give the same rate, al
though posting the old. Cattle rates seem to
be the point of concentration. At noon the
Chicago & Alton was taking stock at $50;
this because the st. Paul carried out fifteen
carloads al. that figure last night. Swift is
holding of large shipments, believing rates
will go still lower Monday.
Lumber men predict 8 cents by Monday.

Judge Chapman has prepared new
rules of practice to be followed in the
Lancaster district court, many of which
are very important and have been
needed heretofore to expedite hearing
and prevent the long and unnecessary
delays often caused by attorneys lacking
in diligence. These new rules are pub
lished in the term docket that was re-
ceived by the clerk of the court from
tho printer yesterday, the one OF the
most Importance to the bar having been
previously published. OF the new rules
that have not gained publicity rule Is
Is important and attorneys will find it
OF direct interest to them. The rule is:
At the close of business on each day list
of the civil causes, subject to be called for
trial on the next day before the respective
Judges or the Judge engaged in such trials,
will be made by the clerk and be posted on
his desk at the court house. The list will
embrace such number of cases subject to call
for trial, and not beyond the assignment
previously made, as the judge may deem ex
-edient and may from time TO time deter
.aine, and no others will be called.
Rule % is an innovation in district
court in this district. This rule is as
follows:
Saturday of each week, during the term,
and Wednesday and Saturday of each week
after the jury shall be discharged, so long as
the court may continue in session for general
business, shall be a motion day within the
meaning of these rules and unless otherwise
specially ordered, jury causes shall not be
tried on Saturdays.

amounted to as much as $3.50 for miner. In
answer to MIR. Parker, the witness said the
Catholic miners paid their priests about SO
cents month piece through the company's

about five thousand Hungarians, Poles and
