LIVINGSTON. March 21.-Captain Is. {.
Lockwood, the rufiian who brutaliy as
saulted n peaceable citizen OF this city on
the depot platform during the great raii-
road strike of last summer, and who used
such insulting language to Mayor beiey
while passing through this city in conn
mand of several companies of soldiers,
has been transferred from Fort heogh,
Mont, to Detroit, Mich, he having been
appointed by Secretary Daniel Lamont TO
the position of recruiting officer, with
headquarters at Detroit. Captain Lock-
woods photograph is published in a re-
cent issue of the Detroit Free Press and is
followed by n half column sketch OF his
military record. That portion OF the ar
ticle which refers to the brilliant record"
which the "dashing captain" made while
in charge of the "soldier train" during Its
short stop in this city makes a sort of
hero out of the captain, which the true
facts in the case do not warrant. Those
who witnessed the captains brutal and
unprovoked assault on Switchman Tall
LIANT OF this city will no doubt be some
what amused upon reading tho following
excerpt taken from the Free Press article

coast when he was detailed with four com
panies to assist In putting down the rioters, and
opening the Northern Pacific railroad and plac
ing It In the hands OF the officials. At critical
moment his bravery and determination won an
almost boodless victory over the rioters and
their allies. He and a few OF his command
were riding on the front end OF the locomotive
The ring leader Of the rioters approached Cap
tain Lockwood, demanded possession OF the
and fhpn rughpd the captain. who mel
him with drawn sword, and cut his head open
Captain Lockwood took the train through Liy
ingston, Mont, the first train sent out by tho
railroad during the strike.
