Ten Under Arrest in Connection With
the Lawlessness.

VIC La W AC6bhG56s
Sacramento, Cal, July 49, Officers
have found the concealed tools with
which the rails were loosened from the
track of the Southern Pacific railway,
near Washington, Yolo county. causing
the wrecking last evening of train from
this city to San Francisco and the killing
of the engineer and three privates of the
regular army. The officers know the per-
sons to whom the tools belong. The loco
motive lay this morning on It's back
in the slough, by the side of
the broken bridge, with three of
the cars of the train. Under the
wreck in the stagnant water are the
bodies of the engineer who held the throt-
tie and the three privates. OF the four
men who were injured, one, Wesley Du-
gan, private in battery L, Fifth United
States artillery, died to-day, suffering
terribly. He was on the tender of the en-
CINE and was thrown to the shore of the
slough, One of his arms was torn from
the socket and broken in three places, and
his jaw was also broken. One soldier
crawled out of the water from beneath
the submerged tender unhurt. The EN-
gineer Clarke, evidently stayed at his
post to the last.
THE TWO MEN ARRESTED.
The two men arrested near the scene of
the disaster are named H. e. Bodmer and
William Burt. Both are prominent men,
bers of the railway union. An engineer
who was on the train saw these men Just
before the train left the track and pointed
them out to the marshals. Both were
heavily armed.
Two other men were arrested in the
city last night One was A. w. Green
law, a machiuist. who was conspicuous in
the recent violence of the strikers toward
Marshal Baldwin and his men. The
fourth was A. p. Warden, who was
delegate to the national conven-
ton of the American Railway
Union at Chicago just before the
strike was ordered. He is the most
important prisoner of the four. He is
charged with murder in addition to the
charges of obstructing the mails and con-
spiracy, that were entered against the
others. All four prisoners were taken TO
the county Jail. Justice Nevins fixed the
bail of Bodmer, Burt and Greenlaw at
So 900 each. Warden, however, was not
admitted to bail. The state will probably
charge him with train wrecking, which
is punishable by death.
MANI Ahmo FUND
In the search for arms thirty-seven
rifles were found at the strikers head
quarters, and large quantities of ammu-
milton, some shotguns, sabers and seven
jute sacks containing as many hundred
pounds of slugs, each an inch long and
half an inch in diameter. These are sup
posed to have been intended for use as
canister shot in cannon. A bakery known
as hotbed Of anarchy was searched
u n rn1
up around the floors, having APP
parently been discarded by the
owners from fear Of personal search.
There is small dynamite scare in town.
Previous to the arrival of the regulars
the strikers threatened to mine the depot
building with dynamite, and search is
being made for IL. There was some talk of
putting the city under martial law at 10
O'Clock last night. but it was not done,
and Assistant District Attorney Knights
said it probably would not be unless the
strikers continue to oppose the govern
ment and commit acts of violence.
TESTIMONY AGAINST WARDEN.
The evidence connecting Warden, one
of the men arrested in connection with the
tragedy yesterday, is becoming very
definite. John Shelburn, young man,
has reported that he drove several of the
strikers in a carriage from Sacramento 10
accident. They got out of the carriage at
the bridge They had tools and dyna-
mite with them. They then ordered him
to drive on. Shortly after the train came
along and he saw it ditched. He posi-
lively identified Warden as one of the
men.
SIX ARRESTS AT A BRIDGE.
An engine and one car was sent to the
American river bridge shortly before noon
with about fifty regulars who expected to
be stationed there TO do guard duty. The
party returned at o'clock this after
noon with six prisoners captured
on the bridge. The deputy mar
shals who accompanied the soldiers
say that there was nothing suspicious in
the conduct of the men. The track was
clear to the bridge, distance of four
miles, but just before they reached the
trestle a torpedo exploded beneath the
wheels. 1t did no damage. During the
trip to the bridge soldiers were stationed
at the windows on both sides of the car,
with their rifles cooked and ready for
action.
