g. La Grande station was at O'Clock
yesterday morning, when squad OF
police officers in command OF Sergeant
Morton put in EN- appearance, and were
scattered about the depot and yard.

about what was contemplated, except
that they were to keep the peace, 1t any
factious spirits should attempt to raise
any distur bance.
Although early in the morning, yet
there was already quite crowd OF men
around the station, and it grew steadily.
The same scene of desolation prevailed
in the yard. Upon the numerous tracks
were strung out trains OF cara, and there
were lew dead engines. Inc occopa'

gone, although hs walked SLOWLY arouno
and answered the queries put 10 nin
about as usual.
Basgagemaster lsaacs had pig trucks
OF baggage scattered about IN his roomy
quarters, and was ready Tor anything
that turned Up.
After various conferences and consul
tations in the office, Train Dispatcher
McGovern and a. 7. Maginnis, CLAIM
agent OF the Santa Fe, started on bee
line Tor the round house. they were
gone some time, and finally an engine
moved out from the house and came
slowly towards the depot. 1t backed uE

mail car stood coupled to three passenger
coaches. McGovern and Maginnis were
seen to be running the engine as 1t ap
preached, and there was general move
ment OF spectators for the train.
