see for themselves what is going on, the
origin Of the wild reports published by
some of the San Francisco papers is
simply incomprehensible. There is no
apparent difficulty in making up, dis
patching and running trains, Tor they
come and go all day long, and were 1t not
for the fact that many persons still travel
to and from San Francisco by boat, the
passenger traffic would be as heavy as
before the strike commenced.
The train for Red Bluff yesterday after
noon was composed of two passenger
coaches, but these were so packed with
people that another had TO De attached.
Last nights local train from San Fran
cisco arrived on time, and the evening
papers were distributed here at $50
o'clock.
Train No. 4, the overland express. came
in from the East last evening and con-
tinued on to San Francisco.
The Eastern travel is also quite heavy.
and the afternoon local for San Francisco
yesterday had one full coach of passen-
gers. This is usually light train. most
persons going to the Bay preterring to
leave on the morning train.
While all trains are not as yet making
schedule time, all but "A couple OF the least
important short distance ones are run
ming.
A heavy fruit train was dispatched for
the East yesterday. and to facilitate the
moving of freight some OF the passenger
trains took out local freight cars.
NOT A SCAB.
One of the men now at work in the rail-
road yard was relating yesterday the
efforts that some of the strikers had
made to induce him not to work.
Il told one OF them," said he. who
asked if | wanted to be called a 'scab,'
that l had wife and family to support,
and that my first duty was to them.
said that if lie would give me $40 would
quit and take my chances with them, but
he wouldn't do it''
Nov, said l. you talk about 'scabs.'
L can prove any man who calls me such
to be a liar. a scab is one who offers TO
undercut mans wages in order to get
his place. l don't do that. Pm getting
better wages here to-day than any man
who quit while doing the same work. It
is my privilege and my duty TO work for
the support of my helpless children. If
necessary I'd rather die while doing that
than to cowardly leave my work and let
them Starve."
There are plenty Of men among those
that went out three weeks ago who are
now of the same way of thinking, and
all the strikers in the country cannot
change their views.
CITED FOR CONTEMPT.
On the application of A. J.. Hart, Judge
Catlin has issued an order citing Deputy
United States Marshal L. L. Hudson to
appear before him on Saturday next and
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt of court.
Hudson is the deputy who marched a
squad OF soldiers into the courthouse the
other day, where they had been sent as
witnesses, but he committed the blunder
OF allowing them to carry their guns.
Judge Catlin's order is based on an af-
fidayit made by Under Sheriff Rooney.
who swears that Deputy Hudson de-
manded the Dunsmuir prisoners, who
were then in court on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. Rooney alleges, on informa-
tiOn and belief, that United States Mar
shal Baldwin is equally guilty, and that
he ordered the deputy to the Courthouse
for the purpose alleged.
When RECORD u MON reporter spoke
yesterday to Marshal BALDWIN on the
subject of the contempt proceedings, he
said:
''Of course there was mistake made
in allowing the men to take their arms
into the Courthouse, but that can't be
helped now. There is a dispute as to
what the deputy said to Under Sheriff
Rooney, but the facts show the absurdity
of the allegation that [ sent the soldiers
there after the prisoners.
1.-The prisoners were in our possession
at the depot. / sent them to Judge Cat
Inns court on his order, and | would like
to know if any sensible man supposes L
would do that if | thought [ was not OBJ
liged to, or ii | wanted to keep them?
To give up the prisoners on the courts
order, and then send squad of soldiers
into the court to snatch them out again
wouldn't look like the act OF a rational
man, would 1t?
'The fact is. the thing was mistake
Those soldiers were sent to Judge Cat
Inns Court under the snpposition that
they would be called upon TO testify TO
the circumstances under which they ar
rested the prisoners. That all there was
to it,"
WITH NEATNEsS AND DISPATCH.
Marshal Baldwin's first experience in
Office has been unlike that Of any of his
predecessors. He had not been Marshal
day when he was thrown right into the
riot in this city, and came near being
killed at the outset. But he has demon
strated his ability TO master the situation,
aud has withal shown himself to be a
man not easily deceived.
on Tuesday the American Railway
Union Committee sent him a. long and
wordy communication, in which they
offered to furnish him from 1000 to 2, 800
men to act as deputies for various specific
urposes-agreeable to the strikers. Yes
terday Marshal Baldwin disposed of the
subject in this terse fashion:
SACRAMENTO, CAL, July Is, 1894.
