Nf Disposed Of.

Fergus Falls, Minn., April 13.-The
end OF the troubles arising from the
Great Northern railway strike Is near
Nearly every one participating in that
trouble was fudicted on two charges
One was obstructing the mails AMI
she other conspiracy. The case OF
called to-day, the charge being that of
o6structing the mails. The offense
alleged was uncoupling and pnsting
onto a sidetrack the rear coach of u
mail train. United Suites Attorney
Strlnger prosecuted the case and G. s.
Marden, assisted by e. H. Houpt, dc.
Tended Mason. The jury found him
guilty. The conspiracy cases against
seven Of the Barnesville men were
cnlled, and they all pleaded guilty to
obstructlng mails. They are Grant
Mason, James r. Knowles, Robert
Nelson. Thomas Pendcr, Fred Atkins,
Charles Mallieux, and Fred Rath.
Judge Nelson addressed them. He
said the offense was committed during
time Of great excitement. Often.
times employees had just grievances
against their corporations and other
employers. They had a right to or.
ganize to advance their own interests,
nut at the same time they could not
transgress with impunity the laws
which congress had passed for the
protection Of all. He had no doubt
that they regretted their course. and
he therefore would not give them the
scvercst penalty. He sentenced each
to pay line Of 500. and until the
fine WAS paid ench was to be COM
Mitted to the Otter Tail county Jail.

The st. Cloud men, L. d. Foster,
Paul Rcadrcau and William Rroham,
retired for consultation with their at
torney. as the case of Foster was to
come to trial next for conspiracy. 1t
was quite apparent that lie would be
convicted. and they decided tc plead
guilty to obtsructing the mails. The
court was about to sentence them to
the st. Cloud Jail in default of ply.
lnent. when Dad" Foster said he pre-
ferred the Otter Tail hostelry, and the
court amended the sentence to so
read. Fred Ratll, who is one Of the
Earnesvillc boys. is not more than Is.
He and his brother, who almost ex-
actly resembles him. were around
train during the strike, and one was
indicted for interfering. The other
brother has since died, and the parties
claim that lie was the one and that
Fred was innocent. Fred pleaded
guilty. The court on the request of
the district attorney made his SELL
tence $40, which was paid by his
father. There are now four cases
against strikers mt Barnesville, four
Mt st. Cloud, and four at Breckenridge
undtsposed of. and they will undoubt.
edly plead guilty at a future term.
