THE SITUATION SUMMARIZED.
What the Various st. Paul Road s
Are Doing.

What the Various st. Paul Road s
Are Doing.
The strike situation with most of the
railroads shows but very little change
from conditions prevailing Thursday.
This can be summarized into para
graphs as follows:
Chicago Great Western-Passenger,
milk and motor trains running on time.
All freignts on the Chicago division
running as usual. Freight service on
the Dubuque division now fully re-
stored. Between and 6 p. m. yester-
day freight went out for the East.
One from Elmer with merchandise ar
rived here at D. IN. yesterday, and
went through to Minneapolis. The
company's freight houses in both cities
are now receiving and forwarding
freight. One train came in yesterday
with three cars of potatoes and four Of
merchandise for st. Paul. one for Min
neapolis and four of merchandise for
Minnesota transfer.
Burllngton-One car. of live stock
shipped out of st. Paul for Chicago.
Main line and suburban passenger ser
vice unimpaired.
Omaha-In the afternoon one train of
way freight for Sioux City, one east
bound and one for the north went out.
In the forenoon one freight went out
from St James west, and another left
Sioux City at noon for st. Paul. All
passenger trains were reported in and
out on time. Superintendent Scott said
yesterday: Everything with US is
tt no Ill and our treights are moving
without molestation. We are hiring
some new switcbmen, iremen and
brakemeD."
Minneapolis and st. Louis-One
freight out of Albert Lea and one out of
Minneapolis yesterday was reported.
Practically no delays in passenger

still intact.
Milwaukee-One train of merchan-
disc sent out for La Crosse Thursday
night, and one received Friday morn
ing. This line will gradually increase
It's freight service until up TO the 1ull
schedule. All passenger trains are
moving.
Northern Pacific = No freights are
being moved DIS yet. and the same pas
senger service that has prevailed for a
week continues. No information has
been received OF the overland train
from the coast that has Assistant Gen.
eral Superintendent Dickinson on
board. The wires have been tempered
with west OF Livingston, and SO COM

STRIKE GOSSIP.

The Northern Pacific is making earn
est efforts to restore through service to
the coast, and will do so as soon as it
can properly protect It's main line
through Montana. That is wild couu-
try. and rather SparSely settled. 1t is
not an easy matter to protect rs miles
the total main line mileage in Mon
tana-but it will be done Efforts to-
ward that end are now making, and
new deputies are being steadily
sworn in.
An official Of the Northern Pacific re-
ports that on Thursday night few law
less individuals at the Mississippi yards
stole case of eggs from the company's
dining car supply depot. They took it
upon the bridge and pelted the deputies
and companY's employees. The depu-
ties made gallant SortIe and recapt-
ured the eggs.
Division Superintendent McCabe, of
the Omaha, takes the position that any
man entering the yards at East st. Paul
for the purpose OF inf uencing employees
to forsake the company is trespasser.
he orders them to keep away. and the
police will promptly arrest any one dis
obeyiHg this order.
There was nothing new on the strike
situation to be CLEANED from the Office
Of the U nited States marshal. There
were a number of additional deputies
worn in. who were directed to report
flor duty this morning and last night.
The Northern Pacific has not single
one of its old engi neers at work OIL this
end. The men claim, so the company
says, that they are not on strike, but
are really afraid of being mobbed if
they attempt to make their runs.
At the Mississippi street yards of the
Northern Pacific yesterday GLOBE re-
porter found about twenty new men
engineers and firemen-that came here
from st. Louis. They have been hired
by the COMPANY,

Men Go Out Because Asked to
Handle Milwaukee Cars.
On Thursday night the night crew of
the st. Paul & Duluth switchmen went
out. Yesterday morning the day crew
quit as we'll, and at Minneapolis the
switchmen went out also at 1 p. m.
yesterday. AT noon here yesterday the
warehousemen followed the same ex-
ample. An official states that yesterday
morning also the company's switch men
at Duluth and West Superior followed
suit. Yesterday forenoon the night and
day crews here held confer ence with
General Manager Plough. They as ked
if he would reinstate the night crew, at
the same time acknowledging
they had no grievance against
the company. General Manager
Plough said he would do so if they
would simply do what was their regular
duty-to obey reasonable orders. This
they declined to do. II would make no
other terms" said Mr.. Pho ugh. 1.-THE
reason that they went out here was be-
cause they refused to handle some cars
Of beer from the Milwaukee road, on
the grounds that it was boycotted line.
Ireceived fifty applications by noon to
fill vacancies, but have hired no new
men yet. We shall do the best we can
under the circumstances. Our pas
senger traffic is not affected. Our yard
masters at all disaffected points have
stayed by US. They will be able to
handle the freight trains, though not as
expeditiously. fail to understand why
men will torsake their means of bread
getting in times like these"

swIToHMEN GO OUT
In the Duluth Yards at Southeast
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis.
From Minneapolis standpoint there
were very few new developments in the
strike situation yeste rday. and with the
exception-of the Northern Pacific. trains
continued to arrive and depart with but
title variation from the schedule ii me.
At the union depot quIetness prevailed
and nothing OF sensational character
occurred.
The strikers were in session through
out the day at Plummer, hall, and the
employees of the Milwaukee road also
met at Lake street and Cedar avenue,
but no definite action was taken at
either of the meetings.
At the st. Paul & Duluth depot In
Southeast Minneapolis the strike was
declared on yesterday. At noon, when
the agent, &. A. Brown, and his assist
ants went to dinner, everything was all
quiet, but when they returned the
switchmen had left their work and the
switch engine was left standing cold
and dead in the yards. The engineer
ank fireman said they were ready to go
to work as soon as a force was supplied,
but not before. Loads of freight were
hauled to the depot early in the after
noon, but the company was no longer
receiving freight. The draymen were
accordingly obliged to return with their
loads.
The meeting of the strikers last night
in Plummer Post hall was a large one.
The strikers appeared jubiIant over the
situation, and all expressed themselves
as confident they would win the great
battle. kilograms from various Dor
tons of the Northwest were received,
all of which contained information that
the branch unions were firm and deter
mined to stay out until the end.

formed the GLOBE reporter. Conclud-
Ing her narrative, Mrs. Holtz said: II

to DO it i'll, so his mother wouldn't
know it till 1t was all over"
Having thoroughly decided 10 end his
existence. Ehle went to the Holtz cot
tage and completed the deed. He wrote
in pencil On the Merchants hotel letter
heads letters to his mother and father.
He deplored the fact that he had
brought trouble on his parents. Il
cannot bear it," he wrote. You have
done everything to render my life
agreeable and happy, and l have repaid
it by diSgracing you"
In a letter to his mother he said,
among other things:
'IKISSEp YOU IN YOUR SLEEP"
But here are the two heart-brOken
letters in their entirety:
Mother. My Only Mother: | cannot
sleep. | awuke last night sitting mp in
bed and asking forgiveness. God and
myself know it was not Intentional, but
the world does not. l have disgraced
you all. Goodbye. EHIE.
/ kissed you in your sleep.
Ga another sheet, addressed to his
father. was the following:
Never were father and mother more
indulgent My home has alwaS been
heaven. But now have disgraced you
all. The thousand thoughts never before
experienced are driving me wild. l can
stand it no longer. Death is preferable.
Forgive and then forget EHLE.
a few minutes after the shooting and
before his mother knew of it, she awak-
ened from her nights sleep and stated
to friend: II had such strange
dream or impression Just before | woke.
1t seemed as if some one had their arms

seriousness ftsr time, and again

NAMED in State of collapse. AS soon
as possible Mi !. Wright, wife Of one of the
Minneapolis x St. Louis officials. hurried
over to the cottage. kilograms were
dispatched to st. Paul aud Minneapolis,
and horror held full sway. Col. Alvaren
Allen, his son George. and w. Q. Allen
left for Minneapolis on the $3.50 a. m.
Great Northern train, accompanied by
j. q. Donnelly, of the firm of Mccarthy
IL Donnelly, the Wabasha street under
takers. From Minneapolis the party
drove to Linwood, where they
arrived shortly before noon. In
the meantime Coroner Spring. of
Minneapolis, who had been notified
by Mr.. Wright, of the Minneapolis ~
st. Louis railway, had proceeded to
Llnwo0d and viewed the remains. He
decided no inquest was necessary. and
issued a certificate 10 the effect that the
deceased came to his death as The result
of self-inflicted gunshot wound.
TOUCHING "REMINISCENCES.
A GLOBE reporter arrived on the
scene shortly after the tragedy occurred
and found broken-hearted family.
"Ehle was brokeu-hearted," said Col.
Allen, as the tears courSed down his
cheeks HE couldn't live under the
disgrace. He could not live when he
reflected that his father and mother
might suffer as the result or bis act.

future. the idea of being stared at and
pointed out as murderer. was too much
for MIN. And then TO thiak OF his con
sideration for his mother in his last
moments. He felt that she would
never want TO return to this cottage
again if he killed himself within its
walls. He was his mothers joy. When
she bought this place, few years ago,
Ehle worked on il all summer TO beautlfy
it. He grubbed out all the underground
rip-rapped the shore, fixed up the lawn
and always declared this should be his
mothers home"
And he succeeded. 1t is an ideal
spot, one of the lovliest situations OIL
the lake, isolated. yet commanding
some of the finest views anywhere
within Minnet onka's lovely precincts.
Looking across the calm bosom Of the
lake, one may descry Lake Park hotel
and its belongings. Charming groves
surround the cottage, and one would
think that one might here lead an ideal
summer existence. But it was the com
p!ete isolation. the absence of excite
ment, the knowledge that he was cut off
from the friends that he had delighted
10 be with before, and the constant
brooding that al last unhinged Ehle
Aliens mind and drove him to the CON-
mission Of the desperate act of yester-
day.
The remains were brought to st. Paul
on the day express leaving Excelsior at
4:03 p. IN. Col. and Mrs. Allen, his
brother, George II. Allen, and Mrs.
White accompanying them. On the ar
rival of the train at st. Paul the body
was taken TO Mccarthy & DonneIlY's
undertaking rooms, where they were
visited by many people last evening.
After being properly prepared for in
terment the body will be taken to the
residence of George Allen. 29S North
Victoria street, where the funeral will
take place at o'clock tomorrow.

When the grand jury reported an in

years standing. 81 felt" said this
friend. addressing Ehle, Il felt last
evening that there would be chance
for bail. One of the members of the
grand jury said to me. L hope that ii
Ehle gets away from this it will be a
lesson to him to keep away from these
id tarts' ,"
Ehle threw up his hand in disgusted
way, as if to say he could not express
his adherence of the events which led
up to the tragedy
The bail bonds were finally ARA nged {,
and Ehle went to the Merchants hotel
TO pack up his belongings prep aratory
to going to Lake Minnet onka. This
required something over an hour, ana

the first opportunity yet presented to
discuss the killing of Clapp.

away from this thing all right I'd end
the trouble in two minutes" Ehle ex-
claimed.
His friend tried to cheer him, and
assured Ehle that no one thought for a.
moment that the act was premeditated {.
Looking over his effects, Ehle found a
SS-caliber revolver. There were four
cartridges in the chambers. His friend
suggested that it would be good idea
to take the cartridges out. To this Ehle
assented. He most carefully removed
the cartridges, put them in collar box,
and the revolver was placed in the
trunk. A few personal friends droppe d
in and chatted with him. A barber was
sent for from the barber shop to shave
him. Then, it being 500, and the train
for Minnetonka leaving at 5:45, Ehle
went up stairs to see his mother once
more, to assure her that he was going
out to the lake at once. At 40 he came
down stairs. and accompanied by two
personal friends he went to the union
depot and left town at AS p. m. last
Saturday. This was his farewell to the
city of his II ativity.
