Opportunities come to communities the

thereof, others fail to do 80. AS the indyid

fered and declined, scarcely ever are repeated
in the same form, does not seem to be real
lied, but such is the tact.
Our opportunity as people came and was

ment to furnish music, it was discovered that
some malicious person had taken the taps
from the axles of the band wagon 1t was
necessary for blacksmith to drill holes in
the a1letrees and insert pins to prevent the
wheels from coming of, before the journey
could be made. The taps were subsequently
found in a cornfield near Mrs. Caroline Bser's

1t Is Ex-superintendent Griffin.

The genial Dan was free man yester-
day-he didn't know any municipal re-
straints. To The Herald man a promi-
nent citizen last night said: Let me
whisper to you that Dan Griffin is right
he can make more money out of poll
tics than in it. How? Well-he has in
the past, and that should hold good for
the future. L have known him for fiji
teen years and he is a competent man
in every way. He has piece of paper
from the Iowa State university that
gives him the degree of bachelor of
science, whatever that means, and at
one time he was accounted a pretty
smooth civil engineer on the Rock
Island road. He is a practical railroad
builder and has done lots of it. For a
number of years he was the general
manager for Fitzpatrick Bros &, Collins
got $4,000 year for it, too. Then he
built lines on his own hook all through
the northwest and in Colorado. Even
now he is looking after a contract on
"a certain road in Colorado. How did
he get that wooden leg? I'll tell you
on the qUiet-mindl Dan was on
train that went down Kenosha hill too
fast, and when it turned over on
bridge at a little place called Webster,
on the Denver & South Park road, he
Icrawled out of the splntered fragments
with only one leg. That was back in
1879, and he was travelling auditor of
the road at the time"

District Attnrna,r AIilchrist

District Attorney Milchrist, when
questioned about the Seizure of Mr..
Debs. said: These men were arrested
on subpoena duces tecum, perfect
~ legal operation, whereby they are
commanded to bring with them every
thing appertaining TO their business.
In this case we have a corporation to
deal with-the A. r. 1.-THE effects of
that organizatio ton can be brought into
court on a warrant of the kind issued
today. The records of the organization
are subject to the command of the
court. 1t is not an unusual proceed
ure in this court. I will say, however,
that if the officers Of the court took
any of Mr.. Debs' personal mail it will
be returned to him unopened. Letters
addressed to him as president of the
a. R. u. however, will not be returned
to Mr.. Debs.''
The grand jury, in addition to the
indictments against Debs and his as
sociates. returned indictments against
number of men VINO have been ar
rested during the past two weeks, and
bound over to the court by Commits
sioner Hoyne on charges of violation
of the federal law in connection with
the strike.

heavy punishment.
| Il wish again, in conclusion, to i'm
IpresS upon you the fact the present
emergency is to vindicate law. If nc
one has violated the law under the rules
| I have laid down it needs no vindica-
ton; but if there has been such viola
ton, there should be quick, prompt and
adequate Indictment.
81 confess the problems which are
made the occasion or preteXt for the
present disturbances have not received
the consideration they deserve. 1t is
| our duty, as citizens to take them uu
and by candid and courageous discus
sion, ascertain what wrongs exist and
what remedies can be applied. But
neither the existence of such problems
nor the neglect of the public hitherto to
adequately consider them, justifies the
| violation of law or the bringing on of
general lawleSsneSS. Let US first re-
| store peace and punish the offenders of
ibe clear to think over the claims OF
| those who have real grievances. First
vindicate the law Until that is done
no other questions are in order"
AT the conclusion of the lengthy
charge, Judge Grosscup said:
''Since 1 have prepared these instrue-
| tons. I have been informed that a
deputy United States marshal was shot
while in the discharge of his duty. /
will read the section of the United
States statutes that covers offenSeS of
this nature. Any person offending un-
der the law in a similar manner can be
indicted. Remember. gentlemen, you
have been called here under exciting
| circumstances to discharge a grave
public duty
The jury retired to the jury room,
and after organizing. went to dinner.
Deputy United States Marshal Jones
and a force of marshals are detailed
Ito keep unwelcome intruders from the
scene of the jury's labors. The rail-
lroad attorneys have filed SO much in
formation against the rioters in the
district attorneys office, that several
clerks have been put to work at filing
lit for the convenience of the jury.
To Oliver Pagen, assistant United
States attorney, will fall the duty of
drawing the indictments. Mr.. Pagen
said, today, that the jury would have
to make haste slowly
I'VE have an appalling lot of infor-
nation said Mr.. Pagen, ''but indict-
ments for conspiracy and melting to
riot are serious things, and must be
drawn up precisely. 1t has been sug-
gested that the jurors receive the tes-
itimony in practical way, keeping the
proper memoranda and finding true
bills from time to time as the informa-
ton warrants the indictment Of men
for conspiracy against the govern
ment''

and were there to stay. (Cheers-)
The chairman stated that no tele-
gram had been received bearing upon
the strike, but that it wasn't over, and
when Chicago was heard from today
there would be some news
There is no Disgusting the fact that
among the men there is a growing feel
ing of great unrest, owing to the fact
that reports in the press show loosen
ing up of some points, and they are
badly handicapped by not being able
to get reports more promptly. They all
admit that they are in need of a secret
cipher, as the companies are enabled
to know their every move from the
transmission of plain messages sent out
by them, while they know absolutely
nothing of the plans of the other side
until made plain through action.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
The fact that the Southern Pacific is
| still dead" gives them much encour-
agement, and they also take comfort
from the way the men in the desert"
are holding down things.
Much concern was manifested last
evening over the report that Debs was
arrested in Chicago, and a number of
the boys called at The Herald office
for verifcation of the same.
The very best of order prevails
among them, and there is no loud talk
heard anywhere. They are saying moth
ing. but Saving wood" all the time.
A BURLESQUE PETITION.
The men on strike were somewhat in
dignant over the distribution yesterday
of the following printed circular:
To the People of the United States:
Whereas, 1t has been proved that the
present form of government is a failure
and its officials powerless to enforce
the existing laws; and whereas Mr..
Debs and his associates have shown
their ability and willingness to assume
the management of the affairs of the
ma tion;
Be it Resolved, That we accept Mr..
Debs as the head of the government
under the title of dictator, or any other
name which it may please Mr.. Debs to
select, and pledge ourselves to submit
to such rules as he and the American
Railway union may promulgate from
time to time; and that we recommend
that a tax of 81 per head be imposed
upon che 100000 people who are not
members of the various labor organiZa-
lions, this tax to be used for the sup
port of Mr.. Debs and his associates.
We also pledge ourselves not to pur-
chase any article for consumption ex-
cept that which bears the stamp of the
American Railway union, nor to patron
iZe any person who is not doing bust
ness with the approval and under a
license from that association.
We recommend that in the event OF
the unexpected removal of Mr.. Debs,
Mr.. Martin Irons be named as his sue
cesSor.
Pending the turning over of the gov
eminent to Mr. DebS we ask that the
United States Senate pass such laws as
will enable the American Railway union
to continue the killing and Gripping of
non-union men without interference.
People who are in favor of a settled
| form of government will please sign
inclosed and send to Senator Kyle,
Washington, D. c.

A. r. U. SPECIAL MEETING.

The American Railway union in this
city held a secret executive session yes
terday morning at Armstrong; hall.
The meeting was not of general inter-
est to the public and the work done
consisted mainly of the appointment of
committees to look after individual in
stances wherein men were reported as
going, or offering to go back to work.
The special meetings held regularly are
largely for the purpose of counseling
moderation and discipline in the ranks
of the men, and are accounted a source
of much good in that way.

RIOT OF UNION MEN.
CAUSE TROUBLE AT THE vesuvluS
IRON WORKS.

The Mob Carried Revolvers, Clubs and
Wounded and Number of Others More
or Less Injured-The Workmen Had to
Flee For safety.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 31.-A riot occurred
shortly after midnight mt the Vesuvius
iron works of Moorhead Brothers g.
Company, Sharpsburg, near here, be-
tween the strikers and nonunion men.
One man was probably fatally shot and
q number were injured. Some time
ago the company reduced wages 10 per
cent and the employees refused il. The
plant was shut down and few DAYS
ago the finishing department resumed
with nonunion men. Tuesday night
the strikers held a meeting and re.
solved to stand firm. After the adj
journment about 90 colored and white
men started for the mill to drive the
nonunion men out.
With curses and yells the mob tore
down the fence and made a rush for the
finishing department. About 12 men
were at work. The mob carried revolt
vers, clubs and stones. They fred
several volleys and at the first one a
workman, whose name is not known,
fell to the floor shot through the back.
He will probably die. The workmen
were then surrounded and being out
numbered to /, fed precipitately from
the mill, protecting themselves with
tools and pieces of iron. They were
driven some distance and then escaped
Several were injured, but how seriously
Is not known. After their fight the
mob quickly dispersed.
The plant was at once shut down and
the furnaces banked. No attempt will
be made to resume until the men have
protection. The leaders of the mob are
not known

A HORRIBLE MURDER.
William A. Chapman Found In His Store
Dead.

M otoTc
Dead.
PITTsBURG, Kan, Jan. 29.--One Of
the most horrible murders ever COM
mitted in this part of Kansas was dis
covered when the body of William A.
Chapman, one of the prominent citi-
zens of the city, was found dead in his
storeroom, with his throat cut and his
body fearfully cut and slashed and COW
cred with blood. Mr.. Chapman was
the proprietor of a grocery and also
was treasurer for the Ancient Order
United Workmen of Pittsburg. His
residence adjoined his store. For some
time past he had been sleeping in his
store, on account of the many bur-
glaries committed here.
Sunday morning about o'clock Mrs.
Chapman went to the store to call her
husband and no response being made
she aroused couple of neighbors, who
forced the door, when q horrible sight
awaited them. On the floor behind the
counter in large pool of blood lay the
lifeless body Of Mr. Chapman with his
body hacked to pieces with knife, and
q wound on the eye, apparently made
with club.
Robbery is believed to have prompted
the deed. The citizens are much
wrought up over the horrible affair,
and bloodhounds have been sent for.
If the murderers are caught they will
receive summary justice.
