halting for short time at l street they
Whlrled and shot off down the railroad
track, where the switch engine was at
work, followed by the marines, and thus
leaving The street clear.
Two wounded men were brought in on
the patrol wagon. The first one stated
that his name was Frank Buckley, that
he was 30 years old and a resident OF
Butte County. He said he was over on
the Yolo side the preceding night, but
came to the city and slept inside the lines
at the freight sheds. He was a machin-
ist. but not member of tile American
Railway Union. Formerly he was one
of the Knights of Labor. He had been
here but few days. He said he tried to
get away from the platform, but was told
TO stop and did so. One of the soldiers
then told him to go, and he started. but
was shot The ball struck him in the
right arm, about four inches below the
shoulder, and glancing from the shoul-
der-b blade, came out just behind it. about
i've inches from his spine. 1t makes a
painful flesh wound, but his life is in no
danger.
The second man brought in was the
one who fell on Front street. One ball
struck him in the left shoulder couple
OF inches to the lett of the spine, and
came out in frontal the base of the neck.
The other struck him behind and on the
upper part of Sthe left thigh, passing
through his abdomen and coming out in
front, making a wound from which the
intestines protruded.
As he could not recover, Justice Devine
and City Attorney Brown, with stenog-
rapher b. G. Brier, took his ante-mortem
statement
He said his real name was Charles
Stewart and that he was born in Water
ford, Ireland. He was marine fireman,
and had served six years in the navy, en-
listing on the Trenton and went in her to
Samoa in 1889. He went to Vallejo on
the Alliance and from there to this city.
lie slept IN d boX-car inside the lines the
night before. When the raid was made
he was sitting in the freight sheds, and
the soldiers came after him with bayonets
and he ran. he did not know whether
they told him TO stop or not. Stewart
claimed he had done nothing, but one of
those near him had shaken his hat at the
soldiers. He was going toward K street
when he was shot.
A HARD LOT.
The thirteen prisoners captured were
taken TO the depot, where they were
placed under guard with others preyi-
ously arrested. They were handbook
ing set, but were not recognized by any
OF the railroad officials as having been
employed by the company in this city.
What such gang could have been do
ing among the freight cars, unless some
of them were bent on mischief, it would
be hard to imagine. That they were vio
lating the orders to keep off railroad prop
erty, and also defied the military, there
is no doubt. AS to the shots that were
fired at the soldiers, it is possible the
guilty parties were not among those cap
tured. One of the soldiers states that
shots came from the ro3I OF Il certain
building, but if so, there will be no more
sharpshootlng Of that character.
The prisoners captured during the
skirmish, as stated above, are all appa-
rently non-residents. They are certainly
not eX-employes of the railroad COM
characters who have drifted into the city
since the strike commenced, in the hope
OF in some way profiting by the dis
turbed condition of affairs.
Two of the oldest employees of the
railroad company who have been very
many years in the employment of the
company and are now ''out," but not of
their own free will. yesterday compared
notes. Said one:
81 have remained mostly at home as
have you, but the last two days [ have
gone among the men down town about
the unions headquarters, and where the
most men congregate, to see who are out,
and l have not been able to recognize
over 100 men that l could say belong in
the shops. L am so familiar with the
faces of all the workers there that l think
l know three-fourths of them all, and
could tell shop man almost unerringly."
His companion replied that he, too. had
gone among the strikers. and he, too,
know the Sacramento railroad men, and
he could not recognize many. 1.-The
great majority" he said, ''are strange
faces"
TRAINS sENToUT.
Two trains were sent eastward yester-
day, and both stopped at Rocklin. The
second will proceed from there to-day.
1t was composed of locomotive, six cars
loaded with fruit. one of United States
mail, a caboose. three day coaches and
fiatcar in the rear, on which was mounted
a Gstling gun and squad of soldiers.
The coaches were all filled with troops,
ready to shoot down any and all persons
who might offer violence to themselves,
the crew or the cars. The force comprised
one company of infantry from the First
Regiment of regulars and Batteries & and
II of the Fifth Artillery, all under COM
mand of Lieutenant-Col Guenther, a
veteran of the civil war.
The train left at O. clock P. NJ, and ar
rived at Rocklin a few minutes after 6.
When it was being made up several of
the ir-brake couplings had to be re-
placed by new ones, they having been
cut and Sl2shed by strikers several days
ago.
A. r. Q. MEETING.
A meeting of the American Railway
Union was called for o'clock yesterday,
and several hundred persons assembled
at Federation Hall. John Hantzman
was called to the chair. He said he hardly
81 oh of ha
would suggest, to commence with, that
all persons in the hall should vacate and
none but those with the password be adj
mitted.
This was adopted. but the meeting had
hardly been called to order the second
time when word was received from Ii. A.
Knox to adjourn and disperse, as the
building was liable to be surrounded by
United States troops.
With this the meeting terminated. The
military, however, did not attempt to
fact, had paid no attention
to the call.
