the fact thai b'g crowds were upon the
streets to-day there were no outbreaks of
violence and apparently very little atlen-
ton was paid to the B g Consolidated cars,
which ran on all lines on schedule time.
on the south side and out Broadway TO
Newburg, the cars were run practically
empty, but the cast side lines, especially
those running to the parks We're wen pat
ronized, though they carried fewer passen-
gers by far than usual on fair Sundays.
AdjL Gen. Axl.ne, speaking of the fear
of the people to ride on the cars in certain
sections Of the city at night, said:
This state of affairs is likely to con
tinue for several weeks or months unless
a settlement is reached The only way to
put a stop 10 It is to declare martial law.
That will require four or five thousand
soldiers and every street viii tie patrolled.
Everybody viii be required to remain In
doors after a certain hour and all who
are out after that time without a permit
will be arrested. But martial law would
put an end 10 the trouble effectuaNy."
The only exciting incident on the South
Side was the ho.d-up of an ice cream
wagon by crowd of soldiers. who took
from 1t a four-gallon freezer fun Of
cream. The people in the neigh oorhoOd
looked upon this as a great outrage, but
the soldiers only laughed and treated 1t as
a joke.
Business Agent Pratt of the union of the
Big Consolidated strikers issued a state
ment to-day in reply to the intmation that
there was a breach between the strikers
aud the employees of the Little ConsOli-
dated
The latter have organized a separate
union and have decided not to take part
in a sympathetic strike. Pratt thinks
they should have joined his union. and
says in his statement that the motive
which prompted the organization of the
separate unions was not pure. He a.
cuses certain of the Little Consolidated
employees of trying to head off a strike on
those lines, and he intimates that it is un-
wise to divide the funds and energies uf
the two unions.
Preachers on the Strike.
A number OF ministers preached on the
strike today. Tonight at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. Louis
Albert Banks, took occasion to denounce
the violence that had taken place, and con
demred the proposed boycott as highway

ACCIDENTS and INCIDENTS
LIGHTS AND SHADES OF THE
RAILWAY CLERKS PICNIC
AT RED WING.
Henry KuIker Injured So Badly
That 1t Was Necessary to Ampu-

From the Vernie Mae.

The railway clerks picnic at Red Wing
Saturday was not without the usual &C
cident features. At Cannon Falls Henry
Kulker, a clerk in a grocery store, at
tempted to board an east-bound eXcur-
sion train, running light at II O'Clock
Saturday night. He swung on pas
senger coach as the train slowed down at
a switch west of town and as it passed
the crossover east of the city attempted
to jump His foot slipped and in fear of
being thrown under the wheels, he caught
desperately at hand rail just in time to
swing his body against low switch. The
square steel target caught his legs, al
most amputating both. The train ran
two miles past the switch before the
accident was discovered. 1t was backed
down the track and the man picked up.
He was placed in the care of surgeon at
Red Wing and an operation performed
at once.
A combination of youthfulness and too
much bad whisky resulted in an attempt
ed suicide just after the steamer Vernie
Mac left Red Wing Saturday night A
boy, seventeen years old, walked up the
gang plank with several companions just
before the steamer left. He seemed to
have a heavy deck load and worked care
fully to windward until he landed in a
plate of ice cream which a young lady in
pink had just procured. He was assisted
to his feet and walked away, but soon
after the steamer left the dock he became
violent. He insisted on sitting on the
taffrail and the next heard of him he was
in the water. Capt Kent, in command
of the steamer, directed the efforts at
rescue and he was hauled to deck drip
ping and disconsOlate. He still remained
violent, however, and had to be taken
below, where a friend watched him dur
ing the remainder of the trip.

Window-Visited by a Stranger
The Observation-Disclosures bank is
short $40. It is said that the money
was stolen last Tuesday afternoon. The
suspected thief is a strange young man
who was in the bank few minutes be-
fore the money was missed. The case
has been placed in the hands of the

His Younger Brother Would Like
to Follow Him.
The children of John w. Smith. living
at 1912 West Seventh street, have cans
ed their parents no little anxiety because
OF thelr early inclination to run away
from home. Two years ago the eldest
sen, William Smith. deserted the par
entail roof and has not since been heard
from. Last week Harry Smith. a IT.
year old brother, ran away from homo
and Jamie Smith, a 6-year-oId yo1ngster

disappearance has been somewhat as
sraged by passing time, and Mr.. and
MRS. Smith are not. inclined to worry
ever little Jamie's threat to run away
just yet, but they are much concerned
over the flight of their second oldest
ooy' Harry They have asked the police
10 look FOR The lad, and Mr.. Smith offers
reward OF $25 for the boys arrest.
Harry left home week ago yestar-
day He has not since been seen nor
heard or His youthful ambition was
to be a cowboy, and, as he rode AWAY
from home on his pony, the parents
think he is headed for the burning
plains. Mrs Smith thinks however
that by the time Harry gets as far az
Mendoza he may return, because, she
says, the boy is small for his age, diff
hdent and little able to take care of
himself. She says her eldest boy ran
away from home because of too strict
parental restraint perhaps, but that with
Harry 1t was directly the opposite. that
Harry was allowed to have his own wav

rected. Then, too, bad associates, Mrs.
Smith says, may have had some influence
on the boys action
According to the mother Harry Smith

and had little to worry his juvenile mind
But there came a time last winter when
Harry was called upon to help to run
the dairy that his father conducts. He
was put driving a milk wagon for a
short time. The boy did not like this,
and frequently had disagreemants with
his father. Mrs. Smith says. Recently
Harry came in for a good, sound thra sh-
ing at the hands of his father A week
ago Saturday he was bullying his young
er brother and he got another chastise-
ment. Mrs. Smith says Harry frequent
ly told her he was going away from
home to see the world. There was con-
siderable excitement when the disappear
ance of the second son of the Smith
FAMILY became generally known and one
discussion of the boys conduct was car
ried on between father and mother in
the presence of little G-year-old Jamie
At the conclusion the youngster startled
his parents with the declaration:

But Jamie will be brought up to see
the evil of his brothers ways, Mrs. Smith
says, and will at least remain at homo
for several years.
