RAwLINs, WyO., May 13.-The re-
ceivers of the Union Pacific Road are
taking steps to put an end to the move
ments of industrials over the lines IN their

has granted an Injunction 30 restrain the
men from using the property Of the road
and wTits for the arrest of the leaders have
been placed In the hands of the United
States Marshal to be used in case the army
comes into Wyoming.
Shelter and his men managed to pass
through MONTPELIER, and seemed 10 be in a
desperate mood. On receipt of this infor-
nation Marshal Rankin and twelve men
left Cheyenne to meet the Iudustrials and
carry out the instructions OF the court at
all hazards. In case his force Is not large
enough to do the work troops will be called
for from Salt Lake City or Cheyenne.
Later word was received that the men
had abandoned the stolen train at Coke
vile, Wyo. 1t is expected they will board
the first freight train coming East, in
which cAse Marshal Rankin will encoun-
ter them at Granger. the junction of the
Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific.

being half an hour apart. The lndustrias
tried to flag the first section, but Deputy
