current and fears were expressed that
some danger might be lurking in the
second tunnel, though it was known that
detectives were continually on the watch
for all suspicious characters. The sight
of the train that had just gone up toward
Port Costa with empty fats served to still
greater increase their fears of safety. Two
or three were determined to take no
chances of being derailed or hit by a
bullet on the way down to Oakland mole,

Trains With Troops on Board Can Go
Very Freely.


VALLEJO, July 14-The Calistoga and
Santa Rosa trains came down as usual this
morning. At the North Vallejo depot
Sheriff Henderson was present, with Dep
uty Sherffs Z. d. Perkins, Steve Finnell
and E. A. Bluel and Constables p. j.
Murphy and j. W. Fleming. On arrival
of the Santa Rosa train Murphy, Finnell
and Fleming mounted the cab and rode to
South Vallejo On the Calistoga train
Henderson, and Bluel took the cab, while
Perkins rode on the forward car. The
only striker to be seen was Smith OF Port
Costa, who paid no more attention to the
passing of the train than if it had not been
in sight. There were but very few per-
sons at the wharf and but few passengers
came down on the trains. The Sheriff ap-
prehsnds no trouble of any kind, and no
strikers arrived last night, as had been
reported there might On arriving at
the South Vallejo wharf it was found that
the Suisun train had not gone out because
no fireman could be had. They were wait
ing orders what 10 do.
There were no passengers on the Santa
Rosa train. and but six or eight on the
Calistoga trains. Arriving at South
Vallejo it was found the orders were to
take the passengers over to Vallejo juno
tioD, and that the trains would run as
usual.
The Amador crossed over to the Junction
and found not more than half dozen peo-
pie at the depot. No strikers were at the
Junction. A couple of detectives have
been there for several days to see that no
damage was done to the railroad property.
The passengers were kept on the steamer
for some time waiting for news, as to
whether the trains would run or whether
they would be taken to San Francisco by
steamer. After fifteen or twenty minutes
they were told to go ashore, as the South
ern over land train from Los Angeles was
on her way and they could go by rail.
At half past 8 o'clock this morning
engine 1888 passed up by Vallejo juno
tion pushing three empty flatcars, and on
the lead OF them was another flatcar with
the sides and end boxed up, about three
or four feet, and filed in with coal. From
the looks there was evidently thirty tons
Of coal on the car. Four men were keep
ing sharp lookout ahead on the track to
see that nothing was wrong with track or
tire stiles over which the train passed.
AbiCO hOD "ClC Ou tuO
Attached to the engine, which was large,
powerful one, there was common
passenger coach with three men on the
rear end, one of whom was Engineer
Sankey. The engineer and fireman were
the only Two men occupying the cab. 1t
was noticeable fact that while passing
the depot the fireman kept pretty low
down. though there was no evident
necessity, as there was not striker in
view. The fireman was recognized as a
man belonging to the railroad company
and one who formerly fred with Clark,
the engineer who was killed the other day.
The carload of coal was evidently on
ahead for the purpose of testing the track.
Conductor Liese had charge of the train,
and as the cars passed by he waved his
hand to those standing about the depot

who fancy that the beams which sup
ported the trestle or the timbers which
connected it with the mainland may have
been loosened and rendered insecure at
the time the train started upon them, but
whatever may be the truth of the report
that Worden has confessed. the impress
sion is quite general that he knows all
about it, and that Knox does, too
1t is said on good authority that in his
confession Worden duplicates number of
strikers. Sheriff O'Neil refuses to either
deny or affirm the reported confession of
Worden. but intimates that sufficient evil
dence has already been secured TO con-
vict at least len strikers of the dastardly
crime.
The police have been unable to find Mu'-
len and Compton, members of the media
tion committee, for whom warrants were
issued this afternoon charging them with
conspiracy in connection with the wreck
ing of the overland train last Wednesday.
1t is believed that they have been spirited
away by their friends.
1t is stated on good authority to-uight
that Knox proposes to retalate upon De-
teclive Hickey by Immediately procuring a
warrant for the officers arrest on a charge
of perjury. He will allege that Hickey
swore falsely in charging the leader with
train-wrecking. II is quite apparent that
the railroad and the authorities have gone
into the business OF jailing strikers on the
wholesale plan. To-day they started to
gather up the men who captured a loco
motive and cars at Dunsmuir recently and
brought them to this city. Two OF
them. Fl. L. Walther and P. Seylor,
are under arrest already. They were
charged with grand larceny in having,
it is alleged, stolen a train. Warrants are
also out for others who were implicated
with Walther and Saylor. The parties

authorities of Yolo County.
About II o'clock this morning Knox
learned that a warrant had been issued
for bis arrest. He Immediately commu-
nfeated with his committee associates and
then proceeded to the City Prison, where
y be gave himself up to the authorities He
was>taken into custody and given tempo

Immediately upon the circulation OF the
report that Knox had been arrested there
wasa perceptible stir upon streets where
ever strikers had congregated. The stir
was not of sensational kind. Knox'5
supporters had very evidently expected
that. just such proceedings were about to
be taken. In their street-corner groups
expressions were strongly phrased, how
ever, and the circumstance increased il
possible the intensity of feeling which has
prevailed since the wrecking of the first
train.
At the headquarters Of the strikers
there was much indign alton given rather
emphatic expression, but only in so far as
they con sidered the action of the Yolo
County authorities wholly unwarranted
They were not surprised in the least that
Knox had been arrested. The general
aspect of things during the past few days
has sufficiently Indicated that some such
action would be taken.

SACRAMENTO, July 14.-Early this after
noon Harry A. Knox, chairman of the
mediation committee of the A. r. o., hear.
ing that a warrant was out for his arrest,
went to the police station and surrendered
to Chief of Police NJ. Nj. Drew. The news
Of the surrender spread rapidly, and In
short time Knox was surrounded by
friends and advisers. He sat in the office
OF the Chief of Police complacently smok-
ing a cigar, and now and then communi-
Gated by telephone with friends about the
city with a view of securing bonds, should
he be admitted to bail. He had not lone
been at the police station when Sheriff
Wycoff of Yolo County formally served a
warrant. He was then permitted to go to
his home in Washington, across the river,
TO inform his wife of MS arrest.
1t has been mored about the city for
several days that warrant was out for
the arrest of Knox, but as fast as the as
sertion was made in one quarter it was
coutradicted in another The specific
charge upon which he was arrested was
conspiracy in connection with the train
wreck of last Wednesday, which by infer
ence makes him accessory before the fact.
There was at first some question as to
jurisdiction in the case, which developed
at the time OF the arrest of Worden, W ho
is alleged to have been the ringleader in
the movement which resulted in such an
appalling calamity. The crime was COM
mitted in YOlO County and for a time the
Jurisdiction of the State courts was uues-
toned, owing to the fact that the military
had assumed command OF the situation
and 1t was thought that the Federal courts
alone could deal with the misereants
Some communication between District At
torney Head of Yolo County and Attorney
General Hart follows, with reference to
the question of jurisdiction. and the latter
said the case came within the province of
the State courts. Therefore Knox and
Worden will be tried in Yoo County.

response to a request from a reporter to
make statement regarding his alleged
connection with the wrecking of the train
he said The whole proposition is rldic

road company is now playing its last
trump card. They think that by getting
me out of the way they will meet with
little less opposition to their movements
and operations. This is upon the assump-
ton that as chairman Of the mediation

WORDEN'S CONFESSION.
1t Is Said That lie Has Implicated
Knox and Others.


SACRAMENTO. July 14.-Reports were
circulated late this afternoon and this
evening that Worden. who is believed to
have been considerably instrumental in
causing the trestle disaster the other day,
had made a confession of his connection
with the whole affair. Nothing can be
definitely learned about the truth of this
report, but it has nevertheless served to
cause uneasiness among the strikers.
From the best sources available the infor-
nation is to the effect that Worden has ex-
planned that the disaster was not caused
by any tampering with the track, but by
dynamite. 1t is known that the tTestle
was badly damaged and the rails benz, and
there are other things in the destructive
line which have been thought to lend con-
siderable color to the theory that dynamite
may have been used. There are people

who has had hand in meddling with rail-

will be arrested during the next forty-eight
hours. Saylor did not procure bonds to-

he stated that upon his arrival at Wood

animation. If on the surface there is suffi-
cient evidence to establish Knox's guilt,

bonds. But il there is reasonable doubt
