legal Investigation the question whether
the shooting On Sunday was begun by the
white miners N the brush or the guards
on the train. Deputy Sheriff Brockway
arrived here this evening with a warrant
sworn out before Justice Won Tobel charv-
ing various unknown men with riot, the
men wanted being the guards who
were on the historic train He vas
joined 81 Black Diamond BY David
ElmGnds and Luke Clifford, miners
who were passengers on the train and who
have accused the guards Of firing the first
shots, and John Quinnsn. also miner.
Immediately upon MS arrival he went 10
the company's store. where his witnesses
identified James B. Foley, captain OF the
Sullivan guards: Fl. A. Fisher. another
guard. and T. P. Carmichael, outside fore
man OF the mine, as men who were en-
gagged IN the riot, and they were placed
under arrest and held in their own recog-
niZance 70 be here in the morning TO 90
10 Seattle on the morning train Richard
Diamond. Cap" Williams and Others will
be arrested, and probably in time
70 go 10 Seattle with the first
three The arrests were so unexpected
that no bondsmen have been provided A
counter move OF the same kind is likely 10
follow and thus the mass Of contradictory
statements of the facts may be threshed
out before jury. The three identifying
witnesses were given an escort Of militia
through the lines on their return 10 Black
Diamond
When the train left Black Diamond this
evening great crowd Of miners was on
the platform and the attention Of several
OF them was attracted by three colored
men who were returning from Seattle 10
franklin. 4 hot alteration through the
car windaw followed with one negro, the
white insisting in vigorous terms that the
colored men should leave Franklin.
The negroes argued the point
coolly, and the white mems Ian
guage was moderated when they saw
a aPosT-IsyELLIsEcER reporter sitting near
him. Such scenes have been of frequent
occurrence dnring the last few weeks. the
aggressors being sometimes white and
sometimes black. In fact the race ami
mostly has reached such . point that the
negroes regard any white man as an en-
envy until they know him. and negroes
travelling on the road who have nothing 10
do with the quarrel have had 70 prove
their identity 70 escape abuse Both parties
are about on equal terms N this matter.
