the noted criminal lawyer, will defend
Howe.

STRIKE CASE ON TRIAL.
BUCHANAN AND GALLAGHER BE-
FORE JUDGE ROSS.
They Are Charged With Conspiracy In
Obstructing the Mails - Gem
eral Msnagsr Wade on
the stand.

There was not very large crowd in
Judge Ross's court room in the federal
building yesterday when the trial began
OF one OF the few cases left resulting
from the big strike.
The defendants were G. T. Buchanan
| and Thos. Gallagher, prominent local
members of the American Railway
union, who are accused by Indictment
| OF conspiracy in obstruoting the passage
of the United States mails June 9th
last.
This is one of the cases which have
been continued from time to time until
it has finally reached trial, when the ex-
citemsnt existing at the time of their
arrest has almost completely died awav.
The defondants are represented by r.
]. Adcock and G. @. Bowen, while Dis
trict Attorney Denis conducts the
prosecution.
1t took considerable portion OF the
afternoon to secure jury, and the case
was scarcely opened for the prosecution.
only one witness being examined.
General Manager X. II. Wade OF the
Santa Fe was examined and went into
the details of the strike and the occur
FENCES at that time. He described the
gradual tying up of all the trains of the
company, and said that the first inti>
nation he received of the strike WAS the
refusal OF switch men to handle Pullman
cars. By the third day all trains were
stopped at this point. and for about 10
days no mail was hauled by the rail-
road. There were about 1000 employees,
and 600 refused to perform their duties.
All the regular passenger trains carried
mail, the witness explained. He said it
WAS impossible to operate the road. Some
trains were stopped at Barstow. The road
was starting two overland trains daily
and two came in each day. These were
the only trains that carried Pullmans.
He said the road could not run, through
traine to the east or from the east with
out sleeping commodations-that is,
it would be impracticable to do so. The
time from Los Angeles to Chicago WAS
three and half days, and sleeper was
almost necessity on the trip.
MIR. Wade eaid no mail trains. pure
and simple, are run west of Kansas
Citv.
Upon being questioned about the atti-
tude OF the strikers, he replied that
there was no violence. but that affairs
looked threatening before the arrival of
United States troops. He said some of

vices to protect the property of the COM
pany, and added that they always did
in such cases.
With reference to the offer Of the stri-
kers to run mail trains, Mr.. Wade said
that they offered to take mail car and
locomotive, but inslsted that they did
not offer to take any passengers. Their
offer was to take mail, but no passen-
gers, freight or express matter.
The first through train ont, Mr.. Wade
said, was accompanied by United States
troops and deputy marshals, and this
was kept up for several days.
The cross. examination of the witness
wac not very long or searching.
General Superintendent Beamer was
next called, but before be had given any
testimony an adjournment was taken
