The first passenger and mail train
from the east since Wednesday pas.
sed through hereSa turday m orning 1T
2:3O. 1t was not as quiet looking a
train as the previous one, however,
for on the end Of each coach stood a
deputy United States marshall,
ready to arrest anyone who: made
an effort to interfere with the train
men in the performance CT their
duties. The train was made up OF
one combination express and mail
car, three day coaches and three Pull
man sleepers. 1t was in
charge of Conductor George Kirk
| patrick, andEngineer Martin handled
the throttle.
The first marshall to step from the
train was the genial game warden,
| Frank Farnhanl. OF Minneapolis. He
said there were fifteen deputies on the
| train and they proposed to run it
through to Fargo. They had con-
siderable trouble getting out Of st.
Paul, and some of the glass had been
broken out of the cab of the locOmo-
tive by stones thrown by strikers.
Getting through there they had no
more trouble and did not anticipate
any until they got to the end of the
run.
No arrests were made at st. Paul
for the reason that they would have
been obliged to take the prisoners
through with them or return to tie
city, and once out they proposed to
keep going.
The train was run out as No. Z,
due here at 1907 a. m. Regular
through sleepers were attached to
it, however. and they were pretty
we'll filled with passengers. There
were very few in the day coaches.
A number of A. r. U. men were at
the station when the train pulled in,
but nothing was done to interfere
with the operate of the train.
The people are glad to get their
mail. but some of them say they
! would rather go without it than see
the train go through.
Martin, the man who pulled No. Z
over the road Friday nights said to
be the notorious ''scab" Martin who
has figured in all the big railroad
strikes for years. Martin ran an
enging during the O strike some
years ago and was over on the
Great Northern during the recent
trouble. 1t is said the company
agreed to give him a job for the rest
of his life if he would help them out
during the strike.
The train only got as far as
Staples and another engineer re-
fused to take it out. Martin had
only agreed to run it to the end OF
| the. division and would go
no farther. He probably thinks it
pleasanter running an engine east OF
Staples than it is west, and in this
he is probably right.
The Little Falls & Dakota train
did not come in from Brainerd Sat
urday but the one from Morris
came in On time.
No. came in from thesouth about
fifteen minutes late, in charge Of
Conductor Horn. Engineer Carney
a Brotherhood man was pulling it
but he had ''scab" fireman.. There
were four U. S. marshalls on board
but they did not show themselves
outside while the train was here.
Mr.. Davis, an Ar. U. man, who
was here had a talk with the engi
neer, but he did not decide to leav'
his engine although the conducto
was ra ther anxious about his engin
man at one time. -. 7. ~ X.
