Toward evening the excitement had not
subsided. although it was generally felt
tina the backbone of the industrial move
ment had been broken as far as unlawful
acts were concerned, still, as matter of
precaution, Marshal Bradley was ready
for any emergency.
In the evening it was learned that tele-
phone communication had been cut off
with many places in Pleasant Valley,
and it was discovered that the wires had
been cut by Industrials, who had separated
from the main body and escaped. On the
late train large consignment of rifles ar
rived, which had been ordered from San
Francisco during the day. These arms
were distributed to the ranchers who ap-
piled for them. as from the wandering In
dustTials some trouble was expected.
During the afternoon and evening many
families of women and children came into
VacaVille. They had been terroriZed by
the lndustrials and refused to stay on their
ranches. The frightened ones were pro-
vded for in town. Many of the ranchers,
especially those whose places had been
looted. took as many as five men armed
with Winchesters to defend their homes in
case of trouble.
About 10 O'Clock last night J. NJ. Wor-
rell, one of the guards in charge of the
prisoners, returned from Fairfield, the
county seat. The trip from Vacaville with
the prisoners was very slow and tedious
one and there was considerable dissatisfac-
tion. The chief dissatisfaction seemed to
be with Captain Woods. As far as could
be learned he had misrepresented the con-
ditiOn of affairs in Vacaville, chiefly in re-
gard to the sentiment that the ranchers had
for the white laborer. One of the laborers
who joined The army recently said he be-
came member of the band at Woods in-
vitatiOu, who said, Come along with us.
L nave a telegram from the citizens of
Vacaville stating that forty of them armed
will meet us up the valley to aid Us to
drive out the Japs and Chinese" The
citizens were not there, and instead they
were met by the marshal and his force.
Other members of the Industrial Army
also stated that Woods bad misrepresented
things to them.
When the crowd arrived in Fairfield the
boys began to cheer and kept il up. Quite
gathering of the citizens of Fairfield
were over to see them arrive. The party
drove up in front of the county Jail, where
they were locked up for the time being.
Sheriff Henderson said he had room
enough for the prisoners and would take
care Of them and more too, if necessary.
They will be held by the Sheriff until
their trial before the Superior Court
The leading citizens OF the town depre-
cate the affair, but insist on their right 10
hire whom they please. Messrs. Wilson,
| Buck and others state that there are hun
dreds of thousands of dollars at stake in
the present crops, and that the packing
cannot be done by unskilled labor with
out bringing ruin TO the orchardist. Thev
also say that the Industrials were all
strangers to the Vsca Valley and not resi-
dents
DR.. Stitt stated that work had been
offered to tifty-five Industrials last Satur-
day to commence on Monday but at that
time not one of them showed up, all pre-
ferring to remain with Captain Woods.

Fairfield, May 17.-Eighty-four men
we're brought down from Vacaville and
put in jail this evening. They were bound
over to the Superior Court in bonds of
$500 each. .
FRESNO. May lit was reported here
to-day that a mob of men from Sanger
went to Rio del Rey vineyard last night to
drive away score of Cinnamon working
there. The vineyard is a few miles from
Sanger, and there has been trouble there
on the same account twice before of late.
Rumor had it that the mob blew up a
house, in which Chinese were sleeping,
with dynamite, and that several Celestfals
were injured. This could not be SUBJ
stantiated, however. Later reports say
that two sticks of dynamite were thrown
at the house, but they did not go off. The 4
Chinese were routed.
