Details of Intore,ting Events at the
Train Starting.
AT La Grande depot the people began
to flock in large numbers in the morning.
The announcement that there was to be
train run out at 8 O'Clock aroused con.
siderable interest, many doubtless ex-
pecting that there would be a conflict.
The attempt to get toe train out in the
morning was futile, however. and the
project was postponed until the alter
noon. As early as the noon hour people
began to wend their way to the depot
again, and by 3 O'Clock the crowd was
fully as large aa that on Friday. 1t was
frat rumored that the train was to leave
ct the above hour, but as usual the busy
dame was wrong.
number of consultations we're held
throughout the day between the officiate
and the strikers, but with what result
ia not known. 1t did not take long for
the people to catch onto who composed
the crew that YVES going to take the train
out, and much wonder was expressed ns
to why the train did not start. Many
seemed to have the impression that the
deputies would shortly appear on the
scene and begin to arrest the strikers.
Conductor Heartt was every whore, look
ing after the interests OF the strikers. And
he was seen in the engine cab in whis-
pered conversation with Engineer Sim
onds, but as both Mr.. Heartt and Mr..
Simonds faint sayin' nothin'," their
conversation ia not known.
Shortly after O'Clock, a number OF
the railroad men, including conductors,
engineers, 6remen and othere, were
called into the Office of Superintendent
Beamer to hear the reading of the in
junction. When Deputy Marshal Good
rich appeared, Mr.. Heartt was also re-
quested to come into the Office. This
he declined to do, claiming that ell of
the committeeman were not there.
Finally he consented to having it read
out On the platform. In short time q
ring WAS formed and the. document
heard. Several Of the brakemen and
switchmen stood by Heart while tine
paper WIS read and INDUCED in some
observations in whispers.
When the reading was over Mr..
Heartt looked at Deputy United States
Marshal Goodrich and smilingly said !:
swell! You would have sweated your.
self, wouldn't you, if you had read that
paper in the room ?' The marshal was
then invited to take cigar, and go

Marshal jenkins read the copy to MIR.

1t was shortly announced that the
train was ready to start, and the crowd
Immediately ran over to the track where
it stood. The deputies got on board,
and at signal from Brakeman Jones
the engine bell was rung, and the en-.
gine backed and coupled to the mail
coach. Five minutes later Conductor
House gave the signal and the start was
made. The mail Car contained mail to
pointa as far east as Barstow, and was
we'll filled with the pouches. Only the
deputies occupied the single coach. Not
O word, not sound, was heard as the
train left the depot. The crowds hur-
ried across and stood by the station
house watching the cars vanish from
them. AS they disappeared around the
curve sigh OF relief went up from the
officials. The crowd fingered about for
awhile, but as nothing happened, soon
dispersed.
An attempt will be made this morning
to start train to San Diego. Marshal
Goodrich will go down and serve the
injunctian on the strikers down there.
