The National Guard Did Good Two
Hours Work.
About the best and most effective piece
of work done yesterday was the raid
made by the two Stockton companies of
the National Guard. under Colonel
Nunan, aided by the men of Batteries a
and l of the First and Third United States
Infantry Regiments.
About o'clock in the afternoon these
companies invaded in body that
portion Of the city in the vicinity of
Front and Second streets, from to /,
where the strikers have been in the
habit OF congregating and where they
were known TO have arms and ammuni-
ton hid away for use ii the opportunity
offered.
The soldiers swooped down so sud-
denly on that locality that before the
strikers knew where they were at'
every place whore they were known to
have stored arms and ammunition was
taken possession Of.
The headquarters of the American
Hallway Union Committee in the build
ing on the east side of Second street ad-
joining the old Wells-Fargo Office was
the first raided. Here, besides lot OF
other Interesting relics of the strike, the
soldiers captured nearly all of the mus
kets and swords stolen from the Bersag-
Ieri Guard on the 4th of July, also six
double barreled shotguns aud almost a
WheelDarrOW load OF ammunition.
In the fremont Hotel on j street. be-
tween Front and Second, they found six
rifles, and III the Pioneer Bakery build

over his saloon. In this building is also
hall used as headquarters by the
strikers, but the guns were found in
Dlllman's place. The entire lot made a
good-sized pile on truck.
While these searches were in progress
the streets in the vicinity were cleared
of people. One pin-headed youth who
had the outward appearance OF gentle
man, but who proved himself to be an
ignoramus. disputed the right of sentry
to order him upon the sidewalk. 1t was
not until couple OF bayonets prodded
him in the rear that he developed sense
enough 10 obey the order to stand back.
After the various places had been
searched and relieved of their munitions
of war the militia, who had been on con-
slant service in the hot sun from day
light in the morning, were marched to
| their camps and from there to their sup
per.
A STRIKERS REMARK.
Just as the soldiers formed into COM
panies at Second and streets to march
away one of the strikers who has made
himself very prominent the past week
said in voice loud enough to be heard
by twenty persons:
'Boys, Sam Clark made the best run
to-day ever made on the S. p. He went
to hell in about four minutes ~
