engineer of the non Union party was work

by one of the brotherhood men TO get of
| and desist work. He refused, and a rush
was made for him. He was dragged off the
| locomotive by the mob and was beaten al
most to death. He was left insensibIe, and
| the strikers then took the engine and ran
| it away aboGt mile and a half and
| killed it.
CALL FOR THE MILITIA
| This did not end the trouble, however.
The town authorities arrested number of
| the leaders in the assault on the engineer
| and took them before a Justice, who bound
| them over. This action incensed the
strikers, who became so unruly and bolster
| GUS as to necessitate active steps being taken
| to protect the city from damage.
A telegram was sent to Lincoln with
request that the State militia be ordered
out.

THE TIE UP AT KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY, February 2Sth.-The tie-up
| on the Burlington system is as complete
here to-day as it was yesterday. The COM

ger trains manned with green hands, but
| they have all been more or less late in de-
| parting, and as result only handful of
passengers have boarded any outgoing
| trains. The freight business is completely
| blockaded.
PLENTY OF MEN OFFERING TO WORK.
CHICAGO, February 2Sth-The officers of
| the Burlington road state that applications
| Tor positions as engineers and tiremen are
! coming in constantly from all over the
country, but as the company does not accept
anybody except after rigid examination
the process of hiring men IS slow, and con-
| sequently they do not expect 10 be in run
nlng order for at least ten days. About
fifty men have been selected.

| to the striking engineers and firemen that
unless they report for duty by noon to-
| morrow they will be considered out of the
company's employ.

rumors of a compromise began TO fly about
1t Is said that representatives of neighbur-
ing roads, fearing strikes on their own lines,
had asked Chief Arthur to negotiate
| further. Business men were said U be
| anxious to arbitrate the differences.
Chief Arthur denies that any proposition
OF compromise or arbitration had reached
| him, but said he had assurances from Ger
tain other lines that they would maintain
| neutrality.
Suppose they pool with the Burlington
| on passenger or freight traffic?"
Amy pooling arrangements would not
| be maintaining neutrality" said Arthur,
with significant emphasis.
