Bluff, and al Camp Kelly, near Chautsu-
qua station. we're made public to-day in an
interview with Judge Hubbard, attorney
for the Northwestern Hallway company.
While smarting under criticisms OF press
and public opinion, M. Hubbard ao-
lnovledesd that he vas responsible for
calling out the state trools and used his
inhasnos With Gov. Jackson for that pur-
pose. Hubbard expressed himself in no
uncertain language. and his views OF the
situation we're oonourTsl in by Mr. Bald
win
"If these tfsmps and buns try 10 capture
one Of our trains there will be trouble 4"
said Hubbard. and should they gain pos
session Of t'ein by hook or crook. OF By
the sympathy OF our trGinmen, we will
ditch the ain 10 II destroys every car and
hurts lot OF men. We will not carry these
VAgrants for love or money, or be forced to
by their capturing our rolling stock. In
the eyes OF the Law they are band Of beg
oars. who are organized for an unlawful
purpose and to prey on the PEOPLE who are
conn sllsd 30 feed them. and move on 20
the next stslion. Why. II we we're TO carry
this crowd over lows and Illinois. wo would
be eotnpsllsd TO carry 10000 more out Of

about these men. We hNve had men among
these p 'ople day and night ami they have
recoRniz d people who have led criminal
livss and served time In renal institutions,
who ere now soldiers in Keliy's army. Do
you suppose, for a moment. we intend to
ansport such q crowd over our lines and
unload them upon other cities along the
