who were wives and daughters of the

Hubbard Is Roasted.
Still another meeting of the citizens
of Council Bluffs was he'd in the Office
of Flickinger Bros and the following
resolutions were adopted and a copy
Sent to Judge Hubbard.
Whereas, Judge n. NJ. Hubbard,
having publicly through the daily
press, assumed the responsibility of
calling the national guard to this city
| for the declared purpose of blocking
the movements of what is known as
the industrial army under command OF
General Kelly, and
Whereas, He has been reported by
the press as saying that if the army
| train, that the train would be ditched
let the consequences be what they
may therefore be it
Resolved, By the citizens of Council
Bluffs, in mass meeting assembled,
that the unfortunate and perilouS stu
| alton now existing in this city is large
ly due to the bad judgment and i'll
| timed expressions and actions of Judge
Hubbard, and that in the interests of
humanity and to again restore peace
and quiet in this community, it is de-
sirable that Judge Hubbard be re-
quested by the Chicago & Northwest
ern Railway company to leave this
city at once, and that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to Marvin Hughitt,
president of the Chicago & Northwest
ern road, and to the Associated Press
and be it further
Resolved, That we have faith and
confidence in the humanity and charity
of the managers of the different rail-
roads leading out of Council Bluffs,
and that our belief is that they have
been badly advised"
papa, You'd Better Get DOWN.
At about 8 o'clock, when all hope Of
securing a train from the officials had
vanished, the crowd went aimlessly
from Bayliss park, where it had lis
tened to the addresses of the leaders.
These leaders had vanished and the
men were getting restless in the cold,
when from the south came marching
800 women, headed by Mrs. Herman.
This gave new life to the men, and
when the women proposed to go to the
transfer and take a train, the march
was quickly started in that direction.
At the transfer, an effort was made to
take fast mail engine, but it flashed in
the pam Then, when the men seemed
ready to quit again, one young woman
who stood by a group of Union Pacific
engineers, said:
IF were a man, I'd have an engine"
This was all that was needed. y big
Union Pacific bridge engine, No. 1,26S,
was standing there. Veteran Engineer
Nick Weeks had his head out of the
window.
A voice was heard
Papa, you'd better get down"
He looked worried. There stood his
stalwart son George Weeks, also a
Union Pacific engineer. On all sides of
the engine We're men and women, clam
bemng on wherever they could get hold,
with cries of Papa, get down."
In a few moments the men had ten
bridge engines and were busily search
ing the yards for empties. Finally, they
were found, and soon on the way to
Weston.
Kelly's army was anxiously waiting
for the results of the efforts of friends
trains had passed through there since
about II o'clock this morning, and the
rumors were so conflicting that they
knew not what to expect.
The people near there are initiating the
example of OmaIha's citizens, and are
giving the army food. Twenty-one
citizens of Persia filled several wagons
with provisions and drove over to this
place. They could not get the railways
to move the provisions. The citizens
of Underwood sent over a load of COM
forters and blankets and there have
been many visitors to the camp. DR..
Swanson and DR.. Lee, of Weston, col
lected $3.50 this afternoon, which they
presented to General Kelly. Dr. Lee
mon and others are holding largely
attended religious meeting in the vii
Ilage hall. Lemon brought down we'll
filled medicine chest and is helping to
care for the sick. There are several
new patients in the hospital
Tore Up the Tracks.
The Milwaukee company ran all
their trains and cars out from the
Bluffs this morning, and then pulled up
the tracks near Neolaso, so that if the
men captured a train they could not
go far. Telegraphic communication to
this place is cut off from the outside
world. The telephone wire running to
the Bluffs was cut in three places this
afternoon by malicious persons, but
the wire was repaired by one of Kelly's
men. Two little girls had seen a we'll
dressed man cutting the wire. 1t is
pretty certain that the work was not
done by any of Kellys men,
AT 1870 o'clock word was received
that 5000 men had captured a Union
Pacific train in the Bluffs and were on
their way to the camp. When the news
reached Weston, Agent Chittendon
oCllI LII Tic SeClIOn DOSS. IhIS lndi-
dldual was ordered to take his men and
tear up enough of the Rock Island
track west of the west switch to pre-
vent trains from reaching town.
Work was begun at once, but before
1t had proceeded far, the Kellyites had
surrounded the section men and per
suaded them to desist. The section
men threw down their tools, one rail
only having been removed. Ke!ly's
men quickly replaced the rail and drove
home the spikes.
Then Agent Chittenden came up and
ordered the section men to tear up the
track again. His deliberate attempt to
wreck the train aroused the wrath of
the Kellyites. Their demonstrations
were such that the agent fled back to
the depot, followed by the section men.
The attempt to ditch the train was
abandoned and in moment the head
light shone along the frosty rail and a
scream from the whistle announced the
coming of relief. General Kelly was
up town at the meeting, but came to
the depot, where a big engineer came
forward and said:
General Kelly, we have a train of
ten cars to take you back to Council
Bluffs; come, get aboard"
Kelly Declines the Train
General Kelly, after a consultation
with his friends, declined to take the
train; it would put his men in the
light of lawbreakers. He could not
conscientiously go on board a stolen
train This decision was approved by
his men, but he was urged to come BY
the relief committee.
wen get you a train in spite of hell
tomorrow" said one of the engineers.
