Fifteen hunUreu men OSueh
Military Protection.
OGDEN. April 10.-Ogden presents the
appearance of besieged city. The
troops and police ordered out by Gov.
West are parading tho streets and a
strict watch is kept over the industrial
army men. Col. Baker had an interview
with the governor in which he said he
hoped the citizens of Ogden would lend
their assistance in the army's endeavors.
In reply the governor stated that while
they were here they would not suffer
from hunger or thirst, but the citizens
had people at home who required their
assistance and their benevolence had al
ready been fully taxed. They must re-
main within their confines while here
and observe the laws. The citizens
would not pay their fares to any other
place, and he thought the people who
sent them. here had done wrong and
would ultimately have to take them
back.
This evening Judges Miner and Mer.
ritt signed mandatory restraining order
on the Southern Pacific railroad restrain
ing them from keeping or allowing the
industrial army, brought by said com
pany "unlawfully into the said terri
tory" and ordering them all back into
the twenty seven box cars, or from keep
ing any portion OF the army in ihe cars
any longer in the territory than abso-
lutely necessary to haul them away.
This means that the Southern Pacific
must carry them back at once.
1t is stated that United States Marshal
Brigham will enforco The order compel
ling the men to return to the box cars at
once. The result of the injunction has
| caused much excitement. as it is known
that there will be great danger Of trouble
| in enforcing it, Developments Of an ex-
citing nature may be looked.
Judge Marshall, attorney for the
Southern Pacific railroad, gave notice OF
an appeal to the supreme court from the
order of the court. He asked for a stay
of execution until the appeal could he
heard. The request was denied by the
court. Marshal Brigham is swearing in
sixty deputies.
| SAN FRANCI SEQ, A pril 10.-C. +. Crock.
er, first vice-presiuent Of the Southern
Pacific company, was asked what the
corporation would do if complaintshould
be made that the interstate law had
been violated by taking 1000 members
OF the industrial army out Of California
across Nevada. and into Utah for 5000
when the regular fare would have called
| for $4,000. II, for one, would like to be
| convicted, if we have transgressed the
law" responded Mr.. Crooked. 81 have a
curiosity to know what the courts could
do in such a case. The company was
obliged to do as it did, or, if they de.
clined, the men would have ridden any
how"
ut was the only sensible thing we
could do said Superintendent Fillmore
this making of charity rates for those
poor fellows. 1t was humane act that
had to be performed, regardless Of the
| legal effect. If the law wants to punish
US for that guess we can stand it,"
"Will YOU obey the Utah authorities
and haul those men back to California;
was asked.
"Not much; unless they pay full fare,
wac Mr. Fillmore's reply.
OGDEN, April IO.--The Southern Pa.
cific has just refused to obey the order
OF the court. Gov. West has given the
company just one hour in which to com
ply, otherwise he will forcibly take pos.
