seriously threatened. The same is true
in other localities where these carcasses
are left because the city is unable to re-
move them.
1T Is VIRTUAL wAR.
Capt. McGunnig, of company F, 18th
U. s. Infantry, who came to the city IN
command of detachment from Grand
Crossing to-day, said: "This affair has
ceased to be mere lot of skirmishes and
from to-day on it is in my opinion
campaign. / apprehend that the time
for argument is over. 1t is war now"
MAD FRENZY.
Thousands of people are gathered at
Kensington suburb, ad joining the town of
Pullman, the junction point of the Mich
igan Central and Illinois Central rail-
roads, There were no troops there, but
the tracks were guarded by small COM
pany of U. s. marshals. Very soon
milk train arrived on it's way to Chicago
and this was the
SIGNAL FOR HOsTILITIEs
to begin. The mob began the assault
and were met with great vigor by tho
marshals, who began firing. Two rioters
were killed and number wounded. Then
mad frenzy seized the people. They
rushed in and seized the train and began
tipping the cars over. They then de-
tached the engine and ran it off half a
mile on the track, stopped it, reversed it
and pulled the throttle open and drove it
back into the train, striking the cars with
fearful force.
A FRANTIC APPEAL
was sent to Chicago for assistance and
troops were dispatched to the scene.
At Burnside station, three miles nearer
Chicago, fifty empty freight cars were
standing on the tracks. The mob set
fire to these and they were destroyed.
Very few of the south bound roads
tried to dispatch trains and are waiting
anxiously for developments, while the U.
s. troops are calmly resting in camp on
Lake front awaiting the arrival of addi-
tional troops from FITS. Brady and La
fayette. These came at l o'clock and
marched to Lake front and went into
camp.

ing at this hour, 2 p. m. The Ft. Scott 4
Memphis line was added to the list o.
suspended roads this morning; all tn
switchmen and firemen on that road wen
out. This compelled the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas line to stop running Us thei
switching was done by the crews of tn
TT. Scott road.
AT DENVER.
Denyer.-The strike ordered on tn
Denver & Rio Grande railroad in this cit,
has not yet gone into effect. Train No.
was sent out to-day as it has been ever,
day since the strike started with the regu
lar crew. The situation, however, is NOR
threatening.
A WAITING POLICY.
No trains are running west of Pueblo
due to the refusal of fremen at Pueblo
and Salida to take out their trains. Presi
dent Jeffrey is pursuing waiting polio!
and will not risk general strike by EN-
ploying non-union men.
In his telegram to s. E. Heberling
president of the local A. R. U. and chair
man of the strike committee, authorizing
strike in this city,. President Debs said
: "Full protection is guaranteed to an
men who are not members but who joi
US in this contest. None 60 back unit
all 60 back"
THE A. h. U.
, leaders are hopeful that the engineers
conductors and fremen will strike whe
it is begun here. They claim that if thi
is realized it will be the most perfect NOV
against the Railroad Managers associa
ton that has developed since the strik
begun and there will be no chance for tn
i, managers of other western lines to hol
their forces together.
FROM DEBs.
} President Heberling has received thi
message from Prest. Debs:
"Things coming hot; general manager
licked out, but seem to be in doub
|, whether to lie down or not"
