PLANNED TO ROB A TRAIN.
Two Men Found Concealed in a
Michigan Central Express


Chicago. ILL.,, June 2S.-Train guards
on the Michigan Central through express
detected what appears to have been an
attempt to rob the train last night. They
found Ed King and Ed Stevens hidden
in car, carried them to Kensington
and turned them over to the police The
train on which the men were found
leaves the city nightly at 8 o'clock. 1t is
made up of eight or ten mail cars and
express cars and carries nothing except
for far East points. 1t usually has on
board large quantities of valuable eX-
press, money and mail. Every trip, re
gardless of temporary conditions, the
train is guarded by squad of men armed
with Winchester rifles. At one of the
crossing stops short distance out the
guards heard a suspicious noise in one of
the express cars. The matter was dis
cussed and the car broken open. King
and Stevens were found and would give
no explanation of their presence in the
car. They had about 100 keys and were
believed by the police to be skillful oper-

bination to fight the strike and boycott
against Pullman cars John NJ. Egan

tons were in progress. Shortly after the
beginning of the session William A. Pink
erton appeared, and tapping on the jeal-
ously guarded door to the meeting room,.
was at once admitted. His visit was sig
nificantly regarded, and it was rumored
that 1T was the intention of the railroaG
people to arrest the strike leaders.
After the meeting General Manager
Earring of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul said that those present had de-
clded to pursue an aggressive policy. 1T
was determined at the outset, said Mr..
Earring, that we would have to fight
this strike. All the roads represented
have determined to secure men to take
the places of those who have struck.
New men are being employed now, and
they. will be put to work under ample
protection.
Reports from the various roads were,
received and considered Ire Fort
Wayne, Alton and the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy reported that some of their
men had struck since last night. We.
closed our shops at Milwaukee today ow-
ing to the present trouble. How long
they will remain closed [ cannot say
