FOUR ARRESTS.
), d. worden for Murder, and the
Others for Conspiracy.

=. ID. Worden for Murder, and the
Others for Conspiracy.
There are now four men behind the
bars in the County Jail who are held on
very serious charges. They are S. D..
Worden, A. G. Greenlaw, William Burt
and II. E. Rodmer.
Worden is charged with murder, in
connection with the wrecking of the train,
and the others with conspiracy against
the Government and obstructing the
United States Marshal in the discharge of
his duty.
Marshal Baldwin is satisfied he has
strong proof against Worden. He sent
detectives out yesterday afternoon, and
the result of their Investigations was such
that Worden was promptly arrested.
The detectives learned that about 10
O'Clock in the forenoon Worden hired a
team and vehicle at Wilson'S livery
stable, took in a party of four or five
others and drove over into Yolo County:
the team being returned without them.
1t was also learned that Worden stopped
a handcar that was being run by Vest
ern Union Telegraph Hneman, and took
sonre tools from him.
A thorough search was made of the
vicinity of the wreck, and the troops
coming to a pile of hop poles, overturned
them, and found secreted therein the
claw bar used by the wreckers in draw
ing the spikes from the rail.
When Worden presented himself at the
livery stable late IN the eday-presumably
to settle for the team-C Chief of Police
Drew was close behind and placed him
under arrest.
When the carriage returned to the
stable there was found in it some dyna-
mite and a fuse which the wreckers had
forgotten TO remove before they sent the.
vehicle back.
The prisoners were all taken before JUS
tice Devine. who committed them to jail.
A troop of cavalry was on hand to see
that the men were all safely lodged in the
County Jail.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
The fends who wrecked the train and
sent so many brave and innocent men to
an awful death had planned their job
Well. An inspection of the track showed
that one OF the rails on the end OF the
trestle had been loosened by drawing the
spikes and removing the fish-plate. The
ralI was left in its original position for
the purpose of deceivIng the engineer,
ana now well the plan worked is we'll
known. The story of the plot will con-
stitute one OF the blackest pages in the
history OF the State.
SEARCHING FOR THE FIENDs.
The soldiers on the train reported that
several men were seen in the bushes be-
tween the Yolo side of the river and the
point where the wreck occurred, and inn
medlately Colonel Graham detailed a
squad OF cavalry from Troops [ and K,
under Lieutenant Colonel Young, to cross
into oio and scour the brush along the
railroad track, and arrest any suspicious
looking person found there.
Ihe cavalry were brought around from
the east side Of the depot on fast gallop,
ana the way the sun Drowned Indian
lighters dashed across the open space to
the bridge was one of the most dramatic
ana warllke episodes of the strike cam
palgn. 1he crowd of citizens who had
gathered at the sentry line were aroused
10 high pitch OF enthusiasm, and greeted
the cavalrymen with hearty cheers as
they dashed off for the Y Yolo Jungle in the
hope OF avenging the cruel murder of
their comrades.
REWARD FOR THE MURDERERs.
AS will be seen by reference to our ad-
vertlslng columns, the Southern Pacific
Company offers to pay 5000 reward for
Information or evidence leading to the
arrest and conviction OF one or more of

tardly outrage OF derailing the train. As

THE FIRST BLOOD.
While the organized militia lay along
the river front waiting for the regulars 10
complete preparations at the depot. there
came about $50 o'clock, opposite the foot
OF . street, five shots from the Yolo
shore, and the balls went whizzing over
head. Colonel Barry's and Colonel Sui
lIyan's men at once went upon their faces
along the wharves and levee and climbed
into open cars and returned the fire.
Some flfty shots were sent over the water
mostly by the National Guardsmen.
Men could be seen on the Yolo shore be-
hind sandbalk, deliberately aiming at
the troops. One man was seen to fall
from a tree top, and one shot took
effect in Reeds cannery, hitting Japa-
nese workman, and infiicting a slight
wound.
Presently boat shot out from the Sac
ramento side, with a white flag flying,
and crossed to the Y olo side with occu-
pants TO investigate.
Several men were found on the levee
who had come up apparently out of a
trench or from behind andbank. They
were unarmed and said they had been
sent over by the strikers TO patrol the
levee and see that no more firing took
place. The belief is entertained that
they were the men who did the shooting.
1t was stated positively last night that
one OF the asSailants was killed, but il
so, his body was removed by his friends.

THE proposition to place the postage

OF no class Of people with whom itshouid

q matter OF fact eight cents pound Is
altogether too much, while two cents a

low. A four-cent rate would certainly
cover the cost Of tran smIssion, aud this
Is all the government ought to expect.

Restricting Immigrs ton.

The necessity OF placing further re
strictions upon immigration is recognized
by large majority OF the people of the
United States, and has been for years
past. Yet Congress is slow to meet the
emergency by passing such restrictive
laws as the necessities OF the times de-
mand. The fact is, Congress seems un.
able TO move in any important matter
until 1t Is pushed. We remember Kear-
ney aud has '.sand-lot" agitation, which
afterwards bore fruit In the passage OF
bill to exclude the Chinese.
Now of all the Objectionable people
who come to this country from foreign
lands the Chinese are the least Ian gerous.
they are peaceable, quiet and industri-
Gus, but they have one sin
that condemns them-they won't
become citizens and vote. If they had
been voters the exclusion act would never
have passed. The Pacific coast congress
men would have been too anxious to get
their vote to advocate such measure.
Now there are thousands OF people
brought over from Europe every year who
are known to belong to dangerous and
disturbing classes and organizations.
They are not only permitted TO land but
they are actually sought out by officers
OF state courts to persuade them to de-
clare their inter tons to become citizens
so they may become voters at the earliest
possible moment. The practice adopted
by many clerks of courts 10 this country
OF going about from place to place where
large numbers OF foreigners are known
to live for the purpose of manufacture
ing' voters Is vicious one and ought to
be abolished. 1t degrades our naturali-
zation laws. Thus thousands who have
no regard for our country or its institu-
sions, and intend to return to their native
lands at some future time, are induced
to take out their first papers merely for
the advantage derived from being q voter.
Is not the slant-eyed Celestial much more
to be respected because Of his refusal to
take an oath he does not intend 10 keep
inviolate?
The time is past when we should seek
immigration, and is come when we should
discriminate. and that closely, whom we
should receive and endow with the rights
OF citizenship. If Congress will not act
without any further unnecessary delay
then the demand must be more emphat-
ically made by the people through the
press and party platforms.
