United States Circuit court, tbs morn

in having assaulted a fireman On the

Judge Williams gave him a telling rep

fenced him to ninety days in the cnnll-

This morning seven employees of the
Great Western road, irres'ej at Dodge
Center for interfering wi,h the United
States mails, were brought before Judge
Nelson for the purpose of having their
bail fixed. Judge Nelson named $1,000

Flynn, Thomas Hanlon and Lewis Ev-
e,ts. The grand jury found a large num-
Der of indictments against railroad strik-
ers and others.
The lull in the local strike situation
continues. All lines are running pas
scnger and freight trains and the North
ern Pacific is gradually perfccting it's
overland service. The passenger train
which left here on Saturday passed
Billings this morning on time, making
much better progress thar any of lis
predecessors. Another overland train
will be sent out this afternoon, as there
seems to be no obvious reason why all
through trains should not go to Portland
without difficulty. For the present
through freight is not being moved west
of Mandan. The only element of inter-
est in the situation, aside from the kill
ing of Engineer Luth, lays in the pros
pect of trouble on the Great Northern,
owing to the lifting of the blockade by
the acceptance of through freight and
cars direct from lines involved in The
strike. 1t was generally stated yesterday
that trouble was inevitable and thai a
strike would be ord cred, soEle sad at 1
o'clock and others said at 8 O'Clock, hut
General Manager Case is authority for
the statement that the en- agreed to
handle the Objectionable cars. If all re-
ports are true in advance of the report
of the grand jury now in session a large
number of the men arrested during the
Great Northern strike have been in
dicted. 1t is said that one indictment
contains the names of forty-scven strik-
ers who were guilty of violence at
Barresville, aad another against seven
st. Cloud strikers, in addition to inaict-
ments against individuals and wos II
threes. 1t had been expected hat these
indictments would be reported to-day,
but they have not yet been handed in to
the court.
Minneapolis, July 1.-THE Milwaukee
officials report five switch engines at
work this morning, and that freight is
moving on all lines as before the strike.
No switching is being done at night as
yet. All the night work, for the most
part consists in transferring cars of
wheat, and as the mills cannot receive
any grain on account of the inability of
the transfer company to do business,
night switching has been abandoned.
Supt. Williams d that non Of the
switc!;men have offered to return to work.
and only q portion Of the firenen. He
states that mo. +. work is being done in
the yards than for six months past, be-
cause the lumber and -four mills are load
ing their products into cars in the yards
instead of at the mills, us formerly.
Chicago, July lit is said that Debs,
Howard and Keliher will be arrested on
the charge of contempt of court, and that
they will be refused bail and will be COM
PEELED to remain in Jail until their trial.
There was no trouble in the city to-day.
The strike situation at the town Of Pull
man appears to be growing more serious
for the strikers. 1t is the general opin-
ion that if the works of the Pullman
company are opened tomorrow there will
he Il stampede of the men to get their
old positions. During the last twenty
four hours the views of the strikers have
undergone a marked change, and where
previously they were talking about how
the fight was won to-day little groups Of
workingmen talked of how they had lost
the fight.
San Francisco, July 17.-Strikers inter-
fered with a train to-day and were
charged by regulars, who used their
sabers and bayonets, severely cutting and
bruising a number of men. The strikers
we're routed and a number of them ar
rested.
Death to Three Robbers.
