Oaklanders Chary About Riding on
the Newly Manned Locals.
The railroad people are loud in their
boasts of their ability to run trains; that
they have more applications for work
than they ear attend to. This may be
true. The A. r. .. say not, but they GER
tanly did succeed in running their narrow
gauge system most of yesterday and
started up their trains on Seventh street,
but the people were very chary about rid
ing on them.
The trains were not patroniZed at all,
except by the tfficers, who were raid to
ride on them, ana Judging from The talk
about Oakland it will be quite while be-
fore they are on a paying basis. because of
the danger one incurS when he puts his
life in the hands IF green trainmen, brake
men and others who have no knowledge at
all of the business.
An Oaklander said last night that the
brakemen's order had come TO the A. r. U.
almost in body, and" SAID this party,
"how is the company going TO run its
trains with safety to the travelling rublic
without The help of these trained railroad
men? The road will have to put un-
trained men in many responsible positions,
if they run at all, and what person valuing
his life is going to start out on a Journey
with his life in the hands of a man who
does not know his business?"

BUSINESS STAGNANT.
No Demand for Change at the United
States Treasury.

Colonel John P. Jackson, United States
Sub-Treasurer, is preparing TO give place
TO his successor. Campbell ?. Berry. The
latter has forwarded bonds in the sum of
100000 to the Solicitor of the Treasury
for his approval, and the coin In the build
ing on Commercial street will be counted
just as soon as the strikers permit the ex-
pert examiners to come from Washing ton.
The Sub Treasurer has had but little to
do since the strike started. 1t was ordered
at the close of the fiscal year, when the
postmasters throughout the State were
preparing for their annual settlement with
the Sub-Treasurer. Only one-eighth of
them have been able to forward their ac-
counts, and there is consequently large
amount of money due the Government to
be received before MIR. Jackson retires.
Army paymasters and others who have
been cut off by the strike from c0mmuni-
cation with the sub-lreasury will be
obliged to wait for their remittance until
the roads are opened.
The stagnation of trade in this city is
shown at the sub-treasury by very
marked falling off IN the demand for
change. There is practically no demand.
for change is not required by merchants
whose clerks are standing idle all the day

lnterment of Artilieryman Dugan at
the Preside.

Wesley Dugan, the young artilleryman
who was so frightfully mangled in the re-
cent train wreck near Sacramento, was
laid to rest yesterday in the National
Cemetery on the Preside reservation,
The remains, resting in paIn casket,
draped with the national colors. were
visited during the morning at the post
hospital by the former comrades of the
unfortunate soldier, the greatest sorrow
being manifesto by all.
The deceased was general favorite
among his associates at the post and the
news of his sad death was received with
universal regret, expressions of the great
est Indignation being uttered against the
men VIII o resored TO such dastardly means
in accomplishing their purpose.
Shortly after 2 o'clock in the afternoon
the troops re maining at the reserva ton
were drawn up in front of the hospital
and the Fifth Artillery band opened the
ceremonies with an appropriate selection.
The ladies residing az the post contrib
uted a number of elegant floral pieces,
many of which bore such inscriptions
as evidenced the esteem in which the de-
parted was held. A delegation of officers
stood with bowed heads during the progress
of the plain service, which was conducted
by Chaplain Dunbar of Alcatraz, who re-
viewed the loyal service of the departed
ard the fiendish crime which caused his
death in words that brought forth tears
from the eyes of many of his listeners.
The remains were then placed on
caisson drawn by four stalwart, horses and
followed by long line of troopers the
funeral procession moved on to the ceme-
terry to the music of the Dead March in
Saul"
After being lowered into the grave three
voleys were fired In rapid succession. The
last "taps" was then sounded, and as the
mournful notes of the bugle died away in
the distance the ceremonies were at an
end.
The bodies of two of the additional VIC
Tins of the deplorabe disaster were
brought down from Sacramento by steamer
last evening and were conveyed to the
Presidio by detachment of artillery. The
funerals will be held this afternoon from
the post hospital.

AT WEST OAKLAND.
In cidents of the Strained Situation at
the Point.

All along the First-street track long
lines of men of the Second Artillery were
on sentry as the sunset fingered in the
ing stiffly up from the bay. and the soldier
boys had the collars of their blue overcoats
up around their ears.
All along the line, but especially where
Cedar, Pine and West streets cross the
tracks, large crowds of men. women and
children-the men mostly strikers-were
gathered to watch the movements of the
militia. There were sawed-off sentries
and long, lean, hungry ones. and they
went all the gaits and few of the PAGES
as they walked their stretches. The long
legged sentries Tapped on the territory of
the sturdy sawed-offs. and the latter re-
taliated by tagging on the beats OF the
next men TO them.
They walked in opposite directions and
fractured the ties IN way that formed the
subject for jibes by the crowd. The kids
jeered at them and the women ported and
the men flung out jibes that must have
been unpalatable, but the sentries did

all.

STRIKERS CONFIDENT.
Members of the A. X. u. Believe in
That Organization.

Although the ever-6tfu rumor was rife
in West Oakland to that effect Yesterday,
no message was received by the A. r.
U. executive committee from Dehs. None
of the strikers believed the strike was off,
and they must get that information from

strike committee to a reporter for The

"Things are about where they were
about week ago. NV candid opinion is
that if the men stick together. as l have
every reason to believe they will. they

Charley Hall, the one-armed man OF
West Oakland. who spent several hours in
Jail on Thursday night, also spoke hope
fully of the situation. He said: I'VE are
sure to win; there is not a single break in

OPENED TRAVEL.
The Break i'm East Oakland Was
From Brooklyn Station.

The key to the broad-Rauge local traffic
was Brooklyn station. East Oakland. and
it was to that point that the railroad
people turned their attention yesterday
when they started in to open travel.
AT that point the strikers had buried
seven dead local engines, all but two
being Oakland local engines. The others
were an Alameda local engine and an
engine which had brought a train In from
Livermore early in the strike.
Early in the day Joe Thompson, with a
force of deputies and number of new
men under Foreman WEIGH of the ma
chine-shops started in to put life into the
iron horses. A big hose was secured and
attached to a fire hydrant, and city water
was run into the boilers. Three of the
engines were run out and down to the
wards in the forenoon, but the Job was
slow one. and it was after o'clock before
steam enough to move was marked on the
gauges.
There were fifteen Deputy Sheriffs
present under a man named Colson, and
during the afternoon Chief Schiller and
eighteen policemen arrived on tile scene
There was not big crowd present at any
time and very few strikers among them.
Two of the deputies, man named Rod
gers and another named Marshall, were
extensively active in the eyes of the strik-
ers, and it was decided to complain to the
Sheriff that they were doing nearly as
much work in filling boilers as the hired
men. Colson was spoken to about this
and he explained that Rodgers was al
lowed to DO this because he contemplated
taking position on the road; that he was
an old railroad man. An explanation as
TO just why Rodgers worked for the rail-
road company with Deputy Sheriff's
badge on was not offered.
After an A. r. U. man had asked Rcd
gers and Marshall for their names they
took back seat. evidently fearful that
complaint would be preferred against
them.
1t was o'clock before the first Seventh
street local got under way. 1t was
thronged with deputies and police. and

MOVEMENT OF TRAINS.
All the Locals Expected to Start
TODAY.

About 8 o'clock in the afternoon the
company started train of th-ee coaches
for Alameda by way of First street. A.
Buchanan was the conductor. Charles
Pinkerton, engineer; j. Williams. fireman.
aud j. B. Treat, brakeman.
At First and franklin streets stop had
to be made. owing to the fact that the
switch was not working. While the train
men were spikng the switch a man
mounted the engine and one Of the guards
told him to get off. He said he was not
ready. Two of the guards seized him. and
in the tusse that followed the intruder
as struck over the head with club and
he fell off. The train then went on to
Alameda.
In the mean time an engine had been
fired up at East Oakland and with several
coaches attached started for the mole
about $3.50 o'clock by way of Seventh
street, with Neal Prick in the engine. 1t

that Worden ought to be tried by the Su-

with his assistant, but the county prose-
cutor stuck to his ground.
Garter finally referred the dispute to
Attorn y-General Olney for settlement,

that official approving the position he and
his assistant had taken. The case will
therefore be tried by the Yolo court.

the fact that the strikers had been dis

Inc news that such a notice had been
served soon spread and special meeting

Hail to consider it. II didn't take very
long to arrive at conclusion. The men

the same train lef. the pier and ran up

To-day the company announces that 1t

Evans, the California Bandit, Escapes from

"Detective."
FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 3O.-Fresno is up
in arms and the whole country is ex-
cited. The jail delivery here, by which
at least temporary freedom was secured
by Chris Evans, the Visalia bandit, who
led the Evans and Sontag gang in the
Collins train robbery and through a
series of desperate battles that finally
resulted in the capture of Evans and
the two Sontag brothers, created such
excitement in Fresno that few men
slept.
Evans was to have been taken to the
state penitentiary to begin to serve
life term for the murder of Vic Wilson,
a deputy United States marshal from
Arizona, who was one of the three men
killed by the bandits, Instead of wear
ing stripes Evans is again free to shoot
and kill
Evans and the young man who as
sisted in effecting the delivery disap-
peered in the direction of the mount
aims and big woods, and it is now sup
posed that the bloody encounters OF
the past few months will be fought
over again. The people here now
recognize in Chris Evans one of the
most desperate of the many desperate
men who have figured in the annals of
California crime. Though the recent
gun fights at Visalia and in the foot
hills left him crippled in one arm, and
with one blind eye, the bandit is still
equal to hard fight.
1t is now learned that Morrell, who
PLAYED the waiter and caused Evans
release, is detective and has been in
Evans service for several months He
was prisoner in the Jail three months,
beginning September ,, and it is now
thought that he managed to get COM

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Jan. AT 9
o'clock yesterday morning the home of
George w. Read, manager of the Long
Bell Lumber Co., was broken into by
AL Brown, Mr.. Reads son-in-law, and
suspicious neighbors under the impress
sion that all was not right The dis
covery made was horrifying and in
wolves the greatest mystery known to
southern Kansas. Mr.. Read, clad only
in his night clothes, sat in chair be-
fore hot stove fed by natural gas, his
body in an advanced stage of decom-
position. Miss Edith Scott, domestic
of the family, lay dead on the floor of
her room. Mrs Read and her five-year-
old son were in bed, the boy in dying
condition and the mother unconscious.
Mrs Read may recover.
Many theories are current as to the
cause, one being asphyxiation, another
accidental poisoning and another foul
play. The fact that two gas stoves in
the house were burning at full force
practically explodes the theory of as
phyXiation, and the fact that no bruises
We're found on either person renders
the murder theory almost incredible,
leaving accidental poisoning as the
most probable cause.
None of the family were seen later
than Sunday evening, leaving no doubt
whatever that Mr.. Read and Miss Scott
had been dead thirty-six hours before
discovered. Every room in the house
was intensely hot, and there being no
ventilation, the fumes from the badly
decomposed body of Read were sti-
