Flesh Famine in Chicago
Movement of Troops.
Chicago, ILL.,, July 3.-To-day is the
first time in the history of the live stock
trade of Chicago that not single car of
animals was received at the stock yards
by rail. The effect of the Pullman boy
colt on the railroads is so overwhelmingly
complete that not sheep, steer, nor
solitary hog has arrived by railroad in
twenty-four hours. The only live stock
received was one little bunch of thirteen
hogs that came in wagons from farm
near the city. Shipments are almost
equally at a stand.
The Panhandle road got nineteen cars
of beef through to Brighton, two miles
from the city. What became of the train
between Brighton and Blue Island, mo one
knows.
NICKLE PLATE TIED UP.
Fort Wayne, Ind.-The Wabash switch
men left work this morning and the yard
engines are in the house. The car shops
here are closed. Two hundred and forty
mon are out of work. An effort will be
made to induce the firemen and switch
men to strike. The Nickle Plate road is
completely tied up this morning.
POWDER REPORTED STOLEN.
Chicago.-It is reported at the general
managers headquarters to-day that the
o%r,E ho l>roLor iptn fraIrvht
Of the Lansing & illinois road and stolen
sixty-eight kegs of powder. The car
stood on the Panhandle track.
DEBs WANTS A QUIET FOURTH.
Chicago-"We are making every effort
to prevent trouble on the Fourth" said
President Debs to-day. "We are warning
our people everywhere to exercise the
greatest care to avoid conflict with the
companies on that day. There will be
by general consent sort of truce and an
effort will be made to let our differences
lie over twenty-four hours, while we
observe the nations holiday. If there is
trouble it will not be of our making"
SITUATION AT PUEBLO.
Pueblo, Colo.-The report sent east
that an engineer and fireman had been
lynched near this city is unfounded so
far as known here.
About dozen strikers have been ar
rested on the charge of interfering with
the operation of mail trains. There was
a noisy demonstration last night but it
had no serious results. Two strikers and
two deputies got into fight in which the
strikers we're worsted. Strikers then
gathered in large numbers and drove the
deputies to the hotel. The U. s. marshal
is ordered here with about 800 deputies.
ALL QUIT AT NOON.
Chicago.-The Nickle Plate road caught
it to-day in earnest. All the engineers,
firemen, brakemen and trackmen on the
Chicago end of the line stopped work at
noon.
GEN. M'oooK MOVING TROOPS.
Denver.-Gen. McCook.is preraring to
use all the soldiers of his department, if
necessary,to aid in the movement of rail
road trains. In addition to having sent
five companies from Fort Logan to Trim
idad he has moved two companies from
Santa Fe, N. NJ, to Ration. The general
says the deputy marshals are worthless as
fighters, and that the presence of regular
soldiers will have greater effect to quiet
disturbances and hasten the moving of
trains than any other force that could be
employed.
D. Il B. @. MEN QUIT.
Denver.-The situation here is un-
changed up to O'Clock. All the railroad
companies sent out their morning pas
senger trains, but the Denver & Rio
Grande was unable to move its trains
west of Salida last night. The roads
employees at Pueblo, Salida and Grand
Junction are out, and it is presumed that
Debs' order for general strike at Denver
and other points on the line will be
obeyed to-day. 1t Ia also expected that
the local assembly, Knights of Labor, will
to-day order strike on the roads which
the A. R. U. are trying to tie up, as Cen
eral Master Workman Sovereign tele-
graphs that he will support Debs.
There was one train in from the east
over the Santa Fe last night and another
to-day, and the Santa Fe sent one train
west.

Detroit.--A Wabash passenger train
which left here at 1928 was cut out by
