General Stones Office, q somewhat
/ similar and yet decidedly different scene
was being enacted in the law office oi
/ Wright a. Baldwin. About twenty-five
women, in response to call Issued our
ing the early morning, had collected al
Dohaney's Opera House and under the
| leadership Of Mrs. Fred Herman, wenI
/ to see Mr.. Baldwin. The ladies' mao
formed a notion among themselves that

for breakfast and they were conse-
quently prepared to shed tears In un'
/ limited, in getting him TO suo'
scribe to the idea Of furnishing trans
portstion for the KellYites eastward
One group of women tackled Bald dwin'
and another Wright. The interview
was exciting to some, amusing to others
and profitable to 10 one. Mr.. Baldwin
explained that it was impossible
! for him 10 act contrary to the
/ desires of the railway officials, tc
whose orders he was subject. DE re-
| ferred the ladies' 10 the Governor. Inc
| ladies' succeeded in adding TO the gen
eral tumult but obtained but little salts
faction from the Governor. Mrs. Her
mann said she had just completed a1
organization Of 300 ladies OF Council
! Bluffs, and that IL other means to AID
! Kelly in bis onward march failed, she
and her followers would take possession
/ of a traiu, seeing that il reached Chlca'
90. This lady is working in con1unc
/ tion with the committee and Is backed
/ by the entire committee.
In an interview she said that while
! the railroad officials might ofer resist
ance, they would not dare commit any
act that would render them liable. She
said that all OF her followers were wo.
men, who were wives and daughters oi
| the best people of the city, and that she
was following out her own ideas In the
matter.
Still another meeting Of the citizens
nj Council Bluffs was held in the office

WHEREAS, He has been reported by
the press as saying that II the army
captured q Chicago and Northwestern
train that "the train would be dit0hed
/ let the consequences be what they
may" therefore, be it
ReSOlUed-By the citizens OF Council
| Bluffs in mass meeting assembled, that
the unfortunate and perilous situation
now existing in this city is largely due
TO the bad judgment and ill-timed ex
presSions and actions OF Judge
Hubbard and IN the interests
OF harmony, and to restore
peace and quiet in this community
it Is desirable that Judge Hubbard bt
requested by the Chicago and North
western Railway Company to leave thi;
city at once, ana that a copy of these
resolutions be sent 10 Marvin Hughitt
President OF the Chicago and North
western railroad, and to the Associated
Press, be it further,
RcSolrcd, That we have faith and
confidence in the humanity and charity
OF the managers of the different roads
leading out of Council Bluffs, and that
| they have been badly advised.
LATER-General Kelly proved himself
all the good words hitherto said Of him
conveyed 10 the readers, and more. He
displayed the rarest judgment and for
tude tonight when be declined to put his
men on board train stolen at Council
Bluffs; stolen by the engineers and fire.
men of the Union Pacific! 1t was a
Union Pacific engine with Union Pa
cific cars on the Rock Island track.
Kelly declined it, because he said he
had not yet broken the law
and did not intend to start In
here. There was great excitement here
all day, Snd il was intensified at night
fall by the news that train had been
captured to relieve Kelly. Crowds
thrOnged the streets aud an immense
open air mass meeting was held. Ru-
mors Of the calling out Of the Federal
troops and State troops, OF deaths In
Kelly's camp aud of every conceivable
nature kept the crowd on a tension
hard TO understand. But no disorder
unusual enSued, and as il By a miracle,
the clash that seemed inevitable,
was avoided aud Kelly's army slept at
camp at Weston, waiting for daybreak
TO march TO Council Bluffs, when a new
start EAST will be made on foot. Quiet
was restored in the city by midnight.
