THE DAGos AND KANucks.
Battle Royal on the Line of the Portland
g. Rulnford Falls Railroad.

Lewiston, January 11.-There is trouble
and Rumford Falls railroad Owing to
some dispute about contracts, the gang
of Italians who have been employed on
the works have been replaced by French
Canadians. The thinly clad Italians, but
poorly housed in their shanties in the
woods when they heard that their places
had been taken by the Frenchmen, yes
terday made an attack on the new comers
and drove them away, some hard blows
being exchanged in the fracas. Then the
Italians smashed the tools which the
Canadians threw away in their flight.
Later in the day, the Canadian contin-
gent got their courage back and returned
to work. The Italians renewed the at
tack, but this time We're beaten off by
the Canadians.
This morning Hon. George D. Bisbee,
came to Auburn and made complaint to
the mayor. Mayor Bolster said that if
they were to have a riot he had rather it
would be out there than in town; how
ever, he ordered Police Officer Jenkins to
take two officers and go ont and quell
the riot by the moral effect Of the
presence of uniformed men. Officer Jen-
kins decided that it would be safer to
take half dozen men, and did.
In the meantime, State Detective Fred
L. Odlin and Deputy Sheriff O'Brien
with four other men had started. All
arrived upon the morning train at Lew
iston junction and went up to the scene
of yesterdays battles. The French
Canadians had come down for work or
fight. They had their blood up, and had
not brought their dinners, because they
were going to eat "dagos."
The day being so bad the work was
postponed and, the Italians remaining in
camp, the officers came home after visit
ing the vicinity of the novels and not
hearing any warwhoops. "We expect
more trouble tomorrow, when the work
starts" said Officer Jenkins, this after
noon. The Italians claim that their
wages have not been paid.

who says He is Innocent.
At about IL o'clock last night gang
of tramps broke into a Rock Island
freight car on the "Y" near the bridge.
One of the men was captured and an
other severely wounded, but escaped.
Officers Watts and Holloway, who
were recently elected special police were
near the Rock Island tracks where they
noticed persons moving about freight
car, As they approached the men jumped
out of the car and ran in all directions.
One man carried a large box taken from
the Watts shouted 'shaltr' to the
man carrying the box. He did not
stop and Watts thereupon shot
point blank at him. He was
only few feet distant from
him The man kept on running and
again the policeman fred. This time
the man fell with the box on top of him.
ground near by and Watts covered him
with his revolvers The man promptly
threw up his hands. When the officer
came to look for the wounded man he
was gone and could not be found.
Officer Holloway all this time was en-
gagged on the other side of the car.
Three or four of the men ran down in
front of him and he shot several shots at
them but they escaped probably unhurt.
The man who was captured gave his
name as Richard Preston. He says he
is from Iowa and has been in the city
about a week. He said: $50 help me
God, l don't know thing about this.
l thought the men at the car were rail-
road men. They had lantern. l was
sitting on the ties and the first thing 1
knew, the officers began shooting and
man dropped box at my feet l was
scared and l said Don't shoot but
don't know thing about it."
Word was received from Sho-ey today
that tramps had tried to get sick man
into box car of train east bound, but
had not succeeded. 1t was said that the
sick man was left by his comrades lying
by the side of the track, and the other
men boarded the train. The men were
captured on the train at Holton, and are
being held at that place.
Captain Gish, accompanied by Hollo-
way and North, went to Shorey and made
a thorough search, but no trace of the
wounded man was discovered. Where
the shooting took place several small
pools of blood were found.
The box taken from the car was taken
to the police station. 1t contains shoes.
The address on the box is: "a. B. Smythe,
NARROW, Indian Territory"

looks serious to me. When these men
go TO Washington, and after the COM
mIssary department gets tired feeding
them. as they surely will. and the men
get hungry, there is sure to be trouble.
When big body of hungry men get
together, there is no telling what will be
done think congress ought to adjourn
and go home. Not so much on account
OF the Coxey fellows as because l don't
see that they are doing any good by
staying there. / have not heard of any
thing OF any importance to the nation at
large being done since congress has been
in session They ought to adjourn"
L. V. Coddington, the well known con-
tractor, said: This thing looks bad. It
looks like we were going to have trou
bic. III tell you what ought to be done.
Congress ought to manage in some way
to get this country into trouble with
some foreign country and let US have
war Let congress annex Canada or
Mexico, either one would make things
interesting, and then these unemployed
men in COxey's army could be given en-
ployment. Andy Fuller wants to put
these men in the army, bnt l want them
to have something to do after they get
into the army"
J. M. Keener, carpenter. said: 'This is
a bad lay out; it means trouble. | am a
plain wood butcher and don't pay much
attention to politics, but / like what that
Colorado senator said yesterday about
stopping this kind of thing and giving
every man right to work who wants to
work"
L. B. Brown, foreman of the state
printing Office composing room, said:
40 condemn the movement would be to
condemn the constitutional right of APP
peal. and yet do not altogether approve
of the Coxey method of appeal The
movement is the result of the condition
of the times. The times are out of joint
and will remain out of joint until the cit
izen of one political faith comedies that
the citizen of opposite political faith is
just as honest as he is. The widespread
distrust and suspicion that just now
hangs over all this country can, think,
be directly traced to the apparently
growing tendency of politicians to place
the welfare of the party above the vel
fare of the nation. Honest politics would
never breed Coxeyites.
