account of the capture OF their train at

cat The Dalles this morning We had
an intimRtion that q crowd OF men were
awaiting our special train to capture our
engine. 80 we sent the four ladies of our
party ahead on the regular passenger
train go they would not be subjected to
any inconvenience, should such arise.
We started from the Cascade locks at
O'Clock, and when we reached Troutdale
500 or 600 men awaited us. They
made rush for ue, sidetracking our car
and confscating the engine. Marshal
Grady and several deputies were pres
Ont, but it WAS useless to make protest,
as the numbers were too great for US.
"Our engine was hurrieGly coupled to
the box cars on the track and the crowd
started east on wild rush, regardless oil
any trains they might encounter. They
tive, and it 10 Just possible that lives
may be lost by this wild train running
into others coming from an opposite di-
rection, We at once wired to the United
States attorney general at Washington,
who informed us ii reply that troops
would be eentin pursuit OF these men.
when the stolen train reached Cas-
cade locks the leader Of the army kindly
informed the company by telegraph that
they were handling all way buslness."

its trains and left the road opea Tor the

fused to call upon the militia or the
