Turbulent Scenes Among the Strikers
and Their sympathizers.
BLUE ISLAND, Ills, July 3.-The pres
ent outlook at Blue Island is not the
most prosperous for law and order.
There is very turbulent element
among the strikers, especially among
their sympathizers, 1000 of whom are
employed in the different brick yards at
Blue Island. These men are off for the
Fourth of July, and it is this element
that is most feared. A train having on
board 100 deputy United States mar
shals, commanded by United States
Marshal Arnold, came into the yard
and was stopped by the strikers. A
SIN all riot followed in which guns and
knives were drawn and general knock

"A Telegram from SupU. spencer,
who has been in ST. Paul since the
trouble began, contains the informal
ton that it is impossible to move a
wheel in that city. This makes it eX-
tremely uncertain whether the Irvine
can be delivered in time to be of any
use. Tomorrow IFS farmers will call
for their Irvine, but will be disap-
pointed. Later-The $4,000 pounds
of prison binding Irvine or
dered by the farmers last
week has gotten as far as East st.
Paul, and is there side tracked with
any amount of other freight, on ac-
count of the strike. 1t is question
whether it can be gotten through in
time to be of any use to the farmers,
but if it cannot the money will be re-
turned to the subscribers, who will be
obliged to purchase of the local agents.
An effort is being made to get this
Irvine through, however.

O'Clock Saturday night, few of the

the other regiments will have the full
benefit of them. Will Thoms acted as

ton. The baggage was unloaded at

In the timber districts of the
county wheat is looking fine and has
headed out with long heads. From
appearances there is scarcely field
that will go much less than twenty
bushels to the acre. while many will
go twenty-five to the acre. Barley
and rye are about ready for har-
vest. Corn is showing a stalwart
growth The farmers are in good
spirits over the prospects of a large
crop of everything.
Daniel Edwards, of Judson, was
in the city today, and stated that last
Monday he liberated some diseased
bugs in his wheat field. The bugs
were then very thick, but the disease
has spread so that the greater part of
them are now dead. The farmers
should continue to bring in live bugs,
to replenish the infection box.
