Troops to Leave Newcastle.

Last of Franklin Camp withdraw
Troops to Leave Newcastle.
Another company of weary soldiers arrived in
the city yesterday afternoon on it. way home.
Company !, of Port Townsend, broke camp at
Franklin in the morning, left on special train
at o'clock and arrived at the depot OF the
Columbia a. Puget Sound raj lroad in this city at
$40. Led by Leutenant-Colonel Green and
Captain Jones, the company formed line on
South Third street, having four officers and
thirty-one men, and marched by that thorough
fare, Yesler avenue, Third street and Union
street to the Armory, followed by truck loaded
with tents and baggage. There the men took
up their quarters for the night rejoiced to have
an opportunity to battle and shave without suf-
fering the penalty imposed in camp. They leave
on the City of Kingston for Port Townsend this
morning
General Lyman Banks who has charge OF the
Oregon improvement Company's property at
Franklin, was in the city, and said to PosT-IN-
TELLIGENCER reporter: "The Sullivan guards
have now all been withdrawn, and now that the
militia have also left, the work of protecting the
company's property and employees is left entirely
with the sheriffs deputies, OF whom there are six
on the ground. There are no signs OF any trouble
and we are trying to prevent any friction by
avoiding intercourse between the negroes and
strikers as much as possible. The strikers come
to the depot, store and postoffice, but request
them to leave as soon as they have transacted
their business. This is fully within our right,
as the building is on the company's property,
and If it does not wish certain people on its
property, it has . right to order them off If
they were allowed to loaf around the store, the
strikers might engage in arguments with the
negroes, which would end in quarrel. This Ia
what we are seeking to avoid"
Deputy Sheriff Ben Stretch returned to Frank
lin Yesterday, and will be the chief deputy at
that place.
Colonel ]. C. Haines held a consultation with
the officers of the regiment last evening, and
this morning goes to Gilman. "The troops are
now at Gilman and Newcastle" said he. 'Sher-
if Woolery has put his deputies into Franklin
and the troops have left. On Wednesday the
sheriff will take body OF deputies to Newcastle,
and Captain Shank will return to Ia
coma with his company. Ten men of
Company will still remain there, but as soon
as the deputies are organized these troops will
march across to Gilman to join their company
In few days the sheriff will put his deputies in
at Gilman, the troops will be withdrawn and
that will be the last of our connection with the
strike, unless we are called out again.
"Thc strikers will have good chance to show
their peaceful intentions"
