The train was heavily loaded and left in
charge of the deputies and Lieutenant

morning.
The second section of the same special
left one hour later. A little trouble in
procuring a crew was the cause of the
delay. Petray was engineer and Martin
the stoker. No objection was made by the
strikers, even the word "scab" was not
yelled.
In quiet talk among several Of the
fremen, one said: 81 am confident SIAM
pede will occur inside of twenty-four
hours, self-prrservation being the first

lar passenger-train time All is quiet
here.
The Californian says: "The arrival Of
the soldiers here was most admirably
planned. That they were coming here
was known last night, but the exact or
even approximate hour of their arrival
was so profound a secret that even the
scouts who make it business to overhear
and report messages licked over the wires
were unable to penetrate it. A crowd re-
manned about the depot until late hour
and finally abandoned their task in dis
gust and went home. When the troops
arrived, their coming having been entirely
unheralded, the depot and yard were al
most deserted. but it did not take long for
the news to spread and a crowd 10 gather"
FRESNO, July 13.-Train IS arrived at
