One Hundred and Eighty Train Stealer
Given Their Freedom Yesterday.
SPOKANE, WASH, July 20.
The last echo of the Coxey move
ment in the west died out yesterday
when $50 prisoners were released from
impris ~nment at o point near tn,
boundary line between Oregon ant
Idahc. 1t was the branch of the army
organized in Portland, and sentenced
by Judge Beatty of the district of Idaho
for having stolen trains at Pocatellt
and at Montpelier, Idaho. At the out
set of their journey they were taken
tefore Judge Bellinger, who released
them after cxacting from them sol
emn promise that they would in nc
way interfere with the property of the
railroad company.
Judge Beatty was apprised Of the
conditions of their release. and there
was something picturesque in the sen.
tence he passed upon them. which he
prefaced with q pointed speech on the
saDctity of an oath.
''You were released by Judge B>l-
linger," he said. s'upon giving him
your solemn promise that you would
not interfere with the running Of trains
on any railroad in the United States.
At the earliest opportunity you had ) on
violated that oath without . thought.
Now I propose to confine you in q
prison to he built for that purpose a.
near the extreme limit of my jurisdic-
ton and as near to Judge Bellinger'a
as possible. You are sentenced to 80
days. cor finement ut point where the
Union Pacific railroad crosses the
Snake river into Idaho. When you are
released you will be conveyed across
the river into Oregon, and If Judge
Bellinger gets you again he will not be
80 lenicnt as ne was BEFORE"
The spot selected by Judge Beatty
was as II nature had intended it for q
prison site. On one side the river ran.

officers aud men alike were made
happy by the order to move camp.
''The inonctony of the Coxey camp
was almost unbearable," lie said.
"rhere was only one thing to enliven

thought Of the poetic quality Of justice
that was beiag meted out 10 those
oath breakers. Many Of them were
going to return to Portland when they
were released"

Resuming Operations.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The strik'
ers at Oakland were excited tonight
over the report that Roberts, the local
president. has in his possession q tele'
gram from Debs instructing him ia
effect a settlement with the Southern
Pacific company. provided the com
pany agrees 10 take back the strikers
without prejudice. 1t was also re.
ported that Debs telegraphed that he
has come 10 an understanding with
Pullman.
President Roberts OF the local A. r..
U. denies the report circulated this
afternoon that he had received no lice
from President Debs that the strike
had been settled. He says that he
has not received single telegram from
Debs today.
Later reports from Oaklapd are TO
the effect that the dispatches received
from Debs did not state that the strike
had been declared of, but merely in
California could be ended by major
ity vote of the unions concerned in it.
Train for Portland.
Besides this announcement there has
been little excitement in California to-
day. This morning the Southern Pa
cific dispatched train for Portland,
the first that has been sent out on that
line since the strike begun, and tonight
the railroad officials declare that they
have men enough and are conducting
business without hi1drance. The
strikers, on the other hand, insist that
the train service is still badly crippled.
Military guards still 20 upon all inn
portant trains and the trouble Is 10y no
means over. At Oakland, relying
uron the militia, the company has re-
duced the number Of deputy sherifts
from 500 to so. A company Of state
militia was today ordered from Nevada
City 10 Port Costa, where the strikers
have caused considerable trouble. Al
s .cramento many strikers are return
ing to work.

Damaging Testimony Against Alleged
Train Wreckers,


WOODLAND, Cal. July 19.-The pre-.
liminary examination Of the five strik.
ers charged with murder az result Of
the recent horror at the railroad trestle
was resumed today. TIE case o1
Worden. however, was permitted to
20 over until Monday. The hearing oi
evidence against Knox, Mullen, Hatch
aud Compton, all members Of the sirik-
ers' mediation committee, was then he.
gun. johnny Sherburne was first
called and proved telling witness for
the prosecution. He is 14-year.old
boy who is in the employ of Sacra-
mento liverynan.
Damaging Tsstlmonys
The lad says that OH the forenoon Of
the day of the wreck he drove Wcrden
into the outskirts of Sacramento and
took into his wagon crowbar. some
wrenches aud other tools. Later he
was joined by five other men whom
the boy did not know. They then set
out for the trestle ut which the train
was subsequently wrecked and five
men killed. When within q few rods
of the trestle all the men left the
wagon, taking their tools with them.
The lad testified that he WIS then
ordered to drive a short distance
toward the city. He did a. instr ucted
and while waiting heard a loud ex plos:
ion. Soon afterward Worden came up
aud the boy drove him back to the city.
AS they were entering Sacramento
they were told that q train had been
wrecked. When told that Engineer
Clarke had been killed. Worden ap.
piled vile epithet aud declared that
he was glad Of 1t. This straightfor-
ward testimony left little doubt in the
minds Of most Of the hearers that the
men whom the boy had taken to the
trestle were responsible for the wreck.
A Sensational climax came. however,
when young Sherhurne testified that
on the day following the wreck his EN-.
ployer sent him ~ Worden with bill
for the rig. Worden went with him to
the Office Of the A. r. U. mediation
committee In sacramento, and there
the bill was paid.

Thought to have passed the crossing. An
accident to freight brakeman delayed
the train 10 minutes, and the barge was
Just on the tracks when the locomotive
dashed around the curve and hit the barge
squarcly in the center. Instantly the air
was filled with flying bodies. which fell
back to the earth writhing in pain or still
in death
The barge landed on the pilot of the
engine and remained there until the train
was stopped $50 yards away.
The Worcester eleven had previously
been carried to the Fair grounds in the
same barge, and the players, who were en-
gagged in practice, were in full view of the
terrible accident They at once rushed to
the railroad and rendered what assistance
they could to their unfortunate friends.
The injured were taken to the power
station of the Southbridge Electric Light
company, which was turned into hos

and everything that could be done was
done for the victims. The town was soon
in an uproar, and the scenes outside the

pened is not provided with gates nor auto
