The Tie-Up Is Complete In the
West
ohited states Marshals Run Few Trains
from St. Paul-Three Strikers Ar
rested at St. Cloud for
Interfering.
| MINNEAPOLIS, April 2S.-Dispatches
| received yesterday along the line of the
Great Northern show that the situation
IS practically unchanged. Large forces
OF deputies at GAINESVILLE, Willmar and
other points were on hand ready for
any emergency, but the strikers made
no attempt to interfere with the trains.
Marshal Bede and SO deputies today
went out over the line to Breckenridge
and Crookston. The Great Northern
| omclals express themselves as satisfied
with the condition of affairs, and say
that now the lines of road in Mime
sofa are practically clear.
At St. Cloud five strikers were taken
into custody by deputy marshals and
will be given hearing before the
United States commissioner in st. Paul
today.
At GAINESVILLE striker threw brick
at Snpt. Winter, who was acting as
conductor of train, and that official
was somewhat injured. This was the
only act of personal violence reported
yesterday, and it was quite generally
deplored by the strikers.
No disturbances are reported from the
West, and the authorities say there is
as yet no occasion for the swearing in
of extra deputy marshals.
| MINNEAPOLIS, April 2l.-The train
service of the Great Northern yester-
day, in SO far as the Twin Cities are
concerned, showed Slight improve
ment over the day before, although at
that the system is in badly democrat
lied condition and no trains are arriv-
ing and but few being sent ont. None
of the transcontinental trains are run
ming.
It was quite generally expected that
the first bloodshed Of the whole affair
would take place yesterday aftern Don
at ST. Cloud, when the special train
which left St. Paul shortly before poon.
with United States Marshal Bede and
40 deputies on board, arrived at St.
Cloud for the purpose of arresting nine
of the strikers for whom warrants were
issued in ST. Paul Thursday night. The
wise counsels of President L. f. D. Fos-
ter of the st. Cloud union, prevailed,
however, and the men made no resist
ance to the arrests although but three
out of the nine men wanted could be
found.
Gov. Nelson also showed his hand
yesterday when county Attorney Sulli-
van, of Stearns county, arrived in St.
| Cloud yesterday afternoon with en-
phatic orders for Sheriff Hammered to
protect the Great Northern Companys
property and prevent the strikers from
interfering with trains, even if it took
the whole military force of the state to
do it. In addition to this, according to
the dispatches, small company of the
Anoka militia has been ordered to hold
itself in readiness for further orders. ,
St Cloud appears to be practically
the seat of war, AMI no one knows
what may happen there inside of the
| next few hours even. The men through
Dakota, Montana and the west, now
that it has been decided to hold con.
ference with President Hill, seem to
be waiting to see what the men at this
end win do. The st. Cloud strikers are
willing to break out at any minute, and
if they do, what the ultimate result will
be no one can foretell.
A dispatch was received in St. Paul
from Butte, Mont, last evening, which
stated that Chief Organizer Hogan, who
ordered the big strike, and delegates
from the Montana union branches, left
Butte over the Northern Pacific yester-
day and would be in st. Paul for con.
ference with Mr.. Hill Monday. Sew.
/ eral of the Minnesota and North Da.
llcta delegates arrived in st. Paul last
evening.
AS to the train service furnished
| by the Great Northern yesterday, three
trains were moved from st. Paul yester.
day, two of which passed through St.
Cloud and one forced its way as far
west as Devils Lake, picking up the
passengers who had been stalled there
for week. No trains arrived in either
Minneapolis or st. Paul from any point
west of st. Cloud. United States Mar
shall Bcde arrested three strikers at st.
/ Cloud.

Friday in charge of United States Mar
shall Cronan and Deputies Daggett,
Leech and Wood, of Fargo, and Cor
man, of Grand Forks, Deputy Schind-
Ter, of Bolla, is also here to cooperate.
The strikers are passive. The train
crew and officers are at work getting
out Saturdays side-tracked coaches.
One rail was found torn up from the
side track and box car with it's fore
wheels on the ground. The officers
claim to know the guilty parties. No
resistance is anticipated.

WiLLMAR, Mimi, April 21.-Ever
since the strike began here Postmaster

spondence with the postmaster-general

TACOMA. WASH, April 21.-A demand
has been made upon the receivers of the
Northern Pacific by the American Rail
way union that the Northern Pacific
