ANSWERS THE INJUNCTION.
Recruiting the Posse Of $500 Men
Progressing Smoothly.
MILITARY MEN DRILL THEM

st. Louis, June 4.-Former Governor
William ]. Stone is preparing the an
swer of the street railway union to the
injunction proceedings instituted III
the federal court some time ago. In
portion of the answer Governor Stone
contends that there is no statute au-
thorizing such an injunction as is
prayed for in the United States court.
In the answer the street railway union
denies that it is responsible for stop
page of mails, obstruction on tracks,
wire cutting and violence.
The swearing in of the posse OF $500
citizens to aid the police department
is progressing smoothly, nearly 500 men
having been secured. The force will
be organized into squads of fifty each.
AS the force increases the number OF
of squads will be increased and more
will be added to them. Men of known
military ability and qualifications have
been secured to drill and command the
various companies.
