The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1894-07-16

L, Fifth United States artillery, died to-
day, suffering terribly. He was on the
tender Of the engine and was thrown to
the shore of the slough. One OF his arms
was torn from the socket and broken IN
three places and his jaw was also broken.
One soldier crawled out of the water from
beneath the submerged tender unhurt En-
gineer Clarke evidently stayed at his post
to the last.
The Men Arrested.
The two men arrested near the scene or
the disaster are named H. e. Bodner and
William Burt. Both are prominent mem
bers of the railway union. An engineer
who was on the train saw these men just
before the train left the track and pointed
them out to the marshals. Both were
heavily armed. Two other men were ar
rested in the city last night. one was a.
w. Greenlaw, a machinist. who was con-
spicuous in the recent violence Of the
strikers towards Marshal Baldwin and his
men. The fourth was A. p. Warden, who
was delegate to the national convention Of
the American Railway Union, at Chicago,
just before the strike was ordered. He is
the worst prisoner of the four. He is
charged with murder, In addition to OBJ
structing the mails and conspiracy that
was entered against the others. All four
prisoners were taken to the county jail.
Justice NOrvin fixed the bail or Bodner,
Burt and Greenlaw at g, 900 each. Warden,
however, was not admitted TO bail. The
state will probably charge him with train
wreckng, which Is punishable by death.
In the search for arms thirty-seven rifles
were found at the strikers headquarters
and large quantities of ammunition. Some
Shotguns, sabres and seven sacks contain
ing as many hundred pounds of slugs, each
inch long and half an inch in diameter.
They are supposed to have been intended
for use as canister shot in cannon.
A Small Armory.
A bakery known Is q hot bed of anarchy
was searched and several revolvers were
picked up around the floors, having APP
parently been discarded by the owners for
fear of personal search.
There IS a small dynamite scare in town.
Previous 10 the arrival of the regulars
the strikers threatened to mine the depot
building with dynamite and search is
being made for it. There was some talk
OF putting the city under martial law at 10
o'clock, but II was not done, and this morn
ing District Attorney Knight said it would
not be unless the strikers continue to op-
pose the government and commit acts Of
violence.
An engine and one car were sent to the
American river bridge shortly before noon
with about fifty regulars, who expected to
be stationed there to do guard duty. The
party returned at l O'CLOCK this afternoon
with six prisoners captured on the bridge.
the soldiers say that there was nothing
suspicious in the conduct of the men. The
track was clear to the bridge, a distance
of four miles, but Just before they reached
the trestle torpedo exploded beneath the
wheels. 1t did damage During the
trip to the bridge soldiers were stationed
at windows on both sides of the car with
their rifles cooked and ready for action.
Evidence against John Warden one of
the men arrested In connection with the
tragedy yesterday, IS becoming very defln-
tie. John Sherburn, q young man. has re-
ported that he drove several OF the strikers
in a carriage from Sacramento to the scene
of the wreck shortly before the accident.
They got out of the carriage at the bridge.
They had tools and dynamite with them.
They then ordered him to drive on. Shortly
after the train came along and he saw it
ditched. He positively identified Warden
as one of the men.

the various roads. The city officers are
unable to cope with the mob. Much dam
age is already done, and still continues.
Troops will soon arrive, when boodshed
Is expected. The strikers have Temporal
fly retired from the depot and are mass

Los Angeles, Cal, July ESQ far as Los
Angeles is concerned the strike is over.
Even the strikers admit that the strike
IS a thing of the past. The Santa Fe

ceptions running before the strike.
