witnessed the arrival and departure o.

day and were kept back from the plat

The engines were also guarded carefully,
so that none but persons having business
with them could approach near enough to
talk with the engineers and flremen, even
when the engine stood outside the dead
line.
When the master mechanic came down
town In the morning. he was called upon
10 furnish I'VE engines, three for the Lake
Shore and two for the Northern Pacific,
which would keep him busy even Il they
were all In good saipshape. But he found
the turntable track blocked with Northern
Pacific engine No. f22. and that all the
water had been drawn out of the boiler
This made IL necessary to I'LL IL with cold
water. and tlis caused IL 10 take him about
an hour and half 10 get up steam. Then

guard during the night, aud say that the
engineer of one of the engines had very
little water in the tank when he left for
the night.

Ct. Paul. who had arrived on the Great
Northern train the previous night, and

angered the Great Northern employees as
much as the strikers themselves, and they
were fierce tn their denunciations of him.
While they were discussing him the South
nca Islanders arrived at the depot to take
the train for Tacoma and got scattered
among the crowd. One of the big men of
the party. in his picturesque costume,
strayed into the crowd of debaters and,
thinking their denunciations were aimed
~ him, proceeded TO lay down the law in
vigorous style with much Samoan gestlcu-
istion. The crowd vas held back by four
police officers and considerable force, OF
deputies and there was no shouting at the
enginemen.
