The Management of the Fort Dodge &
Omaha railway experienced more or less
trouble yesterday with a number of laborers
who had been laid off Wednesday evening.
After the men. who numbered about sixty,
had received their time checks they lost no
time in visiting the many saloons in the city
and by noon a. large percentage of them
were well under the influence. Early in the
afternoon they invaded the Offices of the COM
pany in the Sapp block, demanding imme-
date transportation back " Chicago. The
company was not prepared to ship them home
right away and some of the men became
somewhat ugly and the police had to be
sent for Some dozen of the most inebriated
were taken to the city Jail to sober up.
During the afternoon the company made
arrangements for coach from Cherokee and
at 1880 last night all those wanting to go
where shipped to Chicago. Those who had
been taken to the cooler at the city jail
were released and allowed to depart with
their companions.
