A sheriff Calls for Protection.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 1.-THE Great
Northern strike has reached within one
division of this city, and it is ohah,e that
it will be nearer before night. On sunday
Grand Forks, y. d., was the most eastern
point Of the strike, but since then It has
extended to CrOokston, on the Fergus
Falls division, and to Breckenridge, on the
Breckinridge division. East of these points
there was no interruption to traffic yester-
day, and west there was a complete tie
up General Manager Case said this end
of the line was working as usual, but that
he had no knowledge whatever from the
other end of the line
Friends Of the strikers In this city do
not favor the extension of the strike to
this division, for the reason that they be
lieve the company would have certain
advantage near its headquarters that it
would not have anywhere else.
Everything was running on schedule
| time from this city to the boundary of the
strike territory The report received from
the west that the Northern Pacific EN-
ployes out there would probably strike in
sympathy cannot be verified here, and it is
generally discredted.
At st, Cloud, MINI, the men last night
decided to strike, and all members of the
union went out at midnight. Everybody,
including conductors and brakemen, went
out. The men at Crookston are at the
dividing line, all west of them being out,
! nnH thn hayiprr ont
| There is no sign of a strike Mt Fergus
Falls, except in the non-arrival of trains
from the west. The Great Northern en-
ployes at that point did not think they
would 20 out, and the railroad men there
did not think the strike could possibly
win. West of these points the reports are
rather meagre, but are all of one kind
At few points trouble is feared, but
generally the men are quiet and no trou-
BILE is looked for, At Grand Forks the
officials wanted to get out a train last
evening, and had sworn in twenty depu-
ties to protect them, but 800 men assem-
bled at the depot and declared that no
train could be made up there. Another
attempt was made at DEVILS Lake to take
out a train, but it failed, as had both pre-
vious attempts during the last three days.
There was no rioting, but the 100 strikers
at that point stood their ground and the
train was not started.
A report has reached Great Falls from
Kaljspell that "scab" who was strung up
on Saturday night in order to scare him
was allowed to hang too long and did not
survive. The report has not been verified
although said to have come from a relia.
BILE source in the first place.
Superintendent Currier, at Helena, has
called on the sheriff for protection at
Great Falls. The only change in the stu
alton is the endorsement of the strike by
the assemblies of the knights of Labor 10
Gated in that city Mr.. Hogan, of the
American Railway union, who ordered the
strike, is at Butte, and declares that tho
disapproval of the Brotherhood officials
cuts no figure in the strike. He intimates
that the railroad has pulled off, thos,
leaders, and expresses the belief that the
strikers will be victorious.
Vice President George Howard, of the
American Railway union, who is here, de
nies emphatically that there's any troubl,
between the Union and tn brotherhoods
and insists that the raj roads are trying tC
keep the two organizations apart.
