FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
Arrest of Men Who Induced Firemen
to Leave Bakersfield

BAKERSFIELD, July 1S.-A. W. An
drews and a young man named Ruggles,
steamboat fremen, recently went from
Oakland to Fresno. Failing to secure en-
poyment as fremen on the Southern Pa.
ciic, they came here on train carrying
soldiers. After making application for
work they were taken in tow by strikers
and afterward driven away in wagon by
two armed men. From Goshen the two
men went to Los Angeles and finally re-
turned to Bakersfield yesterday.
Warrants for the arrest of A. Bessin-
netti, an ex-em ploye at the roundhouse, a.
w. Hauser. a fireman, E. o. Drier
and E. ID. Gilett, proprietors of the Grand
Hotel, and Jose NunauZ the driver of the
wagon in which the two men were taken
away, were served to-day. The accused
were released on bonds in $3.50 each. AS
Andrews and Ruggles were not taken out
of the county the men could not be charged
with kidnaplng so charge of false impris-
onment was entered against them. Drier
is accused of having lnveigled the fremen
to his hotel. The defense claim that they
can prove the two men were told not to ac-
cept position during the strike and if
they would only 90 to the country for a
few days their expenses would be paid,
and that they would be sent through TO
Los Angeles when the trains started again.

SACRAMENTO, July 18.-Thanks to the
vigilance of a track-walker, a big train
was saved from wreck this morning al the
treste only a mile from this city on the
down track to San Francisco. Without
question some such appalling disaster as
occurred only few days ago had been
contemplated. Fishplates had been tam
pered with, and with few more strokes of
the hammer all would have been in readi-
ness for the ditching of one of the big pas
senger trains which are now con ntinually
passing in aud out of Sacramento.
Early this morning. before any trains
had left ;he capital city, a party of track
walkers started out from the Second
street depot and proceeded along the track
that runs due west in the direction of
Davisville. They had only reached the
first long trestle, which is located about
one mile from the city, when their atten-
tion was drawn to a seemingly macmillan
display OF broken bolt-heads npon tho
trestle tmbers. There was no particular
reason Tor this, and the men proceeded tn
investigate. A superficial examination ra-
Vealed nothing startling, but on looking
more carefully at the rails they were sur
prised 10 find that all of the bolts which
fasten the fshplates to the rails had the
outside ends knocked off. The rails were
still secure. however, and no immediate
danger was appEehended. For distance
of nearly 100 yards all of the fshplate rail
bindings had been tampered with, to this
extent. The bolts had been allowed to re-
main in place and none of the spikes had
been removed. One of the track walkers
was hastily dispatched to the repairs ps,
and in a short time new bolts were in
serted in place of those interfered with.
The report of this attempt at more train
wrecking spread CONSERVATION through
out theyards and depot Offices. The whole
matter was Immediately turned over TO de-.

several friends sitting on the platform

As the switch engine reached the sheds
she saw man waving his hat at the SOL
diers. The latter Immediately alighted
from the engine and charged on the men.
Stewart started to run away. but halted at
the command of the officer in charge. He
then threw up his hands and was instantly
shot down. The witness was positive that
several more shots were fred at Stewart
as he lay PROSTATE On the ground.
John Black. proprietor of cracker
bakery on trout street, testified that he
witnessed the shooting of Stewart. He
was standing in front of his place of bust
ness when the soldiers charged on the
crowd. He saw Stewart halt at the COM
mand of the officer and throw up his hands.

From all Indications there had been an in

The damage to the track was such that it

which was so tearfully successful, because
regular trains are now running with we'll
filed coaches. More tampering was done
out upon the trestle, where possibly scores
of lives would have been lost had the in
tended disaster occurred.
Nearly 800 men went to work in the rail
road shops this morning During the
early hours of the day detachments of in
fantry aud cavalry were variously located
about the entire district surrounding the
railroad yards and shops in order TO pre-
vent any attempted interference with re-
turning employees. On every street corner
small groups OF strikers had gathered, but
they were promptly dispersed.
In deartb IF other means to worry the
railroad officials the strikers hit upon

What will kill bee worms and what is the
best time to move bees IN S. c., Walnut
Cove, n. Z.
answered by Gerald Mccarthy, Entomolo-
gist n. E. Experiment Station.).
The bee worm is the larvae form of
a medium sized dark grey moth, Gal
leria melonella. native of the old
world but now everywhere introduced
in this country. The most satisfactory
remedy is to keep only strong colonies
of Italian bees. These are so active
that they will not permit the worms to
remain in their hives if they can get at
them Only nova bic frame hives should
be used. Another plan is to remove
the frame, brush off all webs and kill
the worms therein, then with a sharp
pointed knife cut out the worms tun-
MANY frames infested they may be
piled loosely Or hung in tight box or
barrel and two or three tablespoonful
of carbon bisulphide in saucer placed
on top of the pile and the box or barrel
covered tightly for twenty-four hours.
Then remove the covering and expose
the frames to the air till all odor of the
carbon bisulphide has cvaporated. Do
not bring this substance near a fire or
light as it eXplodes very easily. Pieces
of comb, dirty frames. etc, should
never be permitted to litter hive yards
or honey houses as the worms breed in
such.
AS to moving bees if you mean to re-
move them to house for the winter it
should not be done until severe cold
weather sets in or better still not at all
Use chaff hives or cover the hives with
burlap sacks or padded sheets in cold
weather. In this climate bees do not
long remain dormant in winter. If you
mean to remove bees from one location
to another the best time is in early
spring-two or three weeks before the
bees begin to fly. The entrance to
hives should be contracted until the
bees have become accustomed to their
new location.
