81. PAUL, April 10 The temporary re-
| straining order issued by Judge Sanborn

for a hearing in this city on April %, at
which time the leaders of the strike ara
| to show cause why they should not be

| This restraining order was turned over
| to deputies by the United States marshal
| anu lntN went Ollt IN force on Two trains.
These trains had an engine at each end, so
! that even if the strikers wished to interfere
| they would find some difficulty in doing it.
| However, no interference with these trains
has been reported, although the men still
| continue to pre- .ent other traffic along the
| line
strikers Not Interfering with Trains.
| The securing Of the order, il Is said, will
procipitate things here and at Minneapolis
| and the report i that the men will soon 20
| out in both cities, which will make the
strike complete over the whole line Wee
President Howard. of the y. II. L. said
| that the restraining order did not affect
them in the least for the reason that they
were orderly and lad no intention of in
| juring the company's property Aside
| from the issuing Of the strike order and
the sending it out along the line Of the road
| on special trains carrying deputy mar
shals, there has been nothing of particular
| interest or novelty in the days develop
| ments. The road Is still tied up and il yet
| remains to lie seen how the restraining or
| der Will act.
| Reports and Howard Don't Agree.
Reports received in this city from points
| along the line Of the Great Northern are II
good deal of the same tenor The men are
announcing their peaceable intentions and
at the same time preventing the movement
| OF trains. This does not require great vio-
lence, because there Is no great attempt to
| resist the strikers. North Dakota points
supplied with mail and provisions over the
Great Northern are complaining vigor-
ously over their isolation, and Larimore
managed to secure both by means of a
railroad velocipede. At Wilmar. MINI.

issued in this city was obtained from
Judge Thomas of the United States court.
| Three unsuccessful attempts were made
to start train at Moore head. At Grand
Forks all was quiet. The passengers who
I, reached Great Falls on the last train five
days ago have been cared for by the COM
pany, but have received their last meals
from that source, the company notifying
| them to that effect.
| Protecting the Companys Property.
| The Spokane strikers have patrol along
the lines at that point who do double duty.
While protecting the company's property
they are also watching to see that no non
union men are run in on them. AT Seattle
the strikers are in full control and are
very confident of the result. They say that
they can get along without the brother
hoods.
