But 1t Cost Chicago Railroads Seven NIL
lion Dollars-The Withdrawal Of tho
Troops VIII Take Place In a Few Days.
CHICAGO, July 14.-Deb's strike is
dead. Nothing remains now but Tho
last sad rites" and these will consist
of the withdrawal of troops within sew
eral days, the regular resumption OF
freight and passenger trains, and q
normal condition of things generally
10 Chicago and elsewhere.
All this was foreshadowcd Thursday
night, when the Federation OF Trades
declined to jump into tho
fray Debs and his followers had hop
cd to carry the federation men off their
feet with Cyclone Of eloqucnce. but
1t failed to work.
AS q net result of the boycott VIC
have thousands of men out Of jobs, the
government put to an expense OF over
1000, 900 in keeping the peace, and
Cook county mulcted for probably
81, 900, O0o for cars and other railroad
property destroyed within it's limits.
1t is estimated that the combined
loss of the various roads centering in
the city caused by the strike will
amount to over So, 600, 000
This loss is caused by decrease in
earnings from traffic alone and does
not include the loss caused by destrnc-
ton of property. Some of the loss.
however, is offset by large saving in
expenses, yet tho loss to tho roads,
both on account Of loss of traffic and
destruction of property by the Chicago
roads alone, it is believed will not be
less than si,0O0nOO. This makes a total
of $7,OO0,O00 for about fourteen days
diversion.
Then there is the loss of life. In
GLIDING the slaughter in California. tho
calamity at Hammond and in the coal
regions OF this state AMI in the riotous
precincts of Gu caro- this loss will not
be less than 80 lives. More than this
have been wounded and many crippled
for life.

FIHNDs' WORE.
Railway Bridge Blown Up witt, Dynamite
and . Freight TRAM Demolished.

WICHITA, Kan, July 14.-The adverse
decision Of the Oklahoma supreme
court in the attempt by the towns Of
South Enid and Pond Creek TO compel
the Rock Island railroad to build de-
pots and stop trains has been quickly
followed by an outrage which, but for
accident, would have probably resulted
in fearful sacrifice of human life.
At4:oo Friday morning mile south
of Enid, the Rock Island bridge was
blown up with dynamite and freight
train was demolished. The engine
and couple of cars had passed safely
over, when the dynamite exploded,
hurting the train from the track. The
thirty cars were piled in the ditch. and
Brakeman Cordry and Harry Lyon, D
tramp, were badly injured.
The dynamite was evidently intended
for the regular north-bound passenger
train from Texas, reaching the scene
thirty minutes later. and which, but
for the accident of the freight blocade
caused by the strike necessitating the
running of the extra freight, would
have been the first to enter this hor-
rible trap.
The blowing up Of the Rock Island
bridge and train at Enid was followed
about noon by the total demolition of
the railroad bridge just north Of Pond
creek, the other government town site
that is fighting for railroad facilities.
Much of the track between Pond
Creek and Enid has been torn up, and
the people of both places express de-
termination to have depots or no rail-
roads.
The Rock Island officials have called
on the governor for troops, and the lat
ter has requested the commandant at
TT. Reno to send company OF United
States soldiers without delay.

suddenly to retreat successfully TO his

island in the St. Lawrence river.
The rich fugitive was marked
for assassination by band

does not fully know how near he was
to violent end. Yet he stood within
the shadow OF the tomb, and the press
