WeUld not get TO the journeys end, and
several of the DEPUTIES went up on the
: Calrstosa train as far as the North Vallejo

; on the streets over the news that the CAL
istoga train had been stopped up near the
Three-mle House and the engine killed.
This however, proved untrue, as word was
received that the train had passed Napa
junction all right. Constables Murphy
F.. and Fleming rode on the Santa r 'sa

Vallejo. No strikers were to be seen at
any point along the road they went, and

back word TO see if Sheriff Henderson
would bayt al officer at South Vallejo or

state that no strikers were to be seen
,safong the road and no accident occurred.

five men at the South Vallejo wharf to
Kill the engine when ths train comes

bluff. Sheriff Henderson, with his depu-
ties, will meet the trains at the North

disturbance is raised
