A great gray wave of gladness swept
the Boomerang office yesterday.
of gladness have been rare in
that quarter lately and the entire office
force doubtless capered on its toes like
in the first fall wind, blithe,
blissful and serene. Not since the

its puerile predictions that Laramie

much citation been manifested over
distorted news items. 1t is plain that
nothing gives the Boomerang such
pure joy as a wild orgy of calamity.
In the issue of yesterday afternoon
the Boomerang published a stretched
and tortured item about railway train
having been laid off; and it was

with joy.

Concerning this item of mythical
crews laid off, a few words will suffice.
Three crews have not been laid off.
One crew has been taken off for the
of it among other crews where they
were more urgently needed. There is
IA scarcity of men. The Union Pacific
is still hunting for men, rather than
discharging them. Capable railroad
men are in great demand. The coal
companies are behind their orders
thousands of tons and the demands of
the winter trade are rapidly increas-
ing. New engines are coming all the
time and more have recently been or
dered. The railroad company is not
ordering new engines for the purpose
of putting them away, wrapped in cot
ton. in the ro%undhouses. 1t has need
for all the locomotives it can get and
men are required to run them. All
along the line there is an actual short
age of men for train crews.
Shifting Of Men.
About this time every year the char
acter of the business on the Union Pa
citiC changes. The stock shipments
are decreasing as they do every au-
tumn. The coal business is increasing.
There is a shifting of crews and a few
men are leaving their positions to take
places elsewhere-and this is going
on all the time. The taking off and
separating of this crew does lot mean
anything at all. If The Boomerang
knows any good railroad men who
want work it should send him at once
to the office of Assistant Superintend-
ent Whitney. And it should, above
all things, brace up and look the world
in the face. Cheer up. The campaign
will soon be over.

In the first place the item is not
true. In making this statement We do
not mean to intimate that The Boom

Il certain ability. Besides, We should
not for worlds hurt The Boomerang's
feelings. We have consistently re-
fl aimed from calling the Boomerang a
liar. Liar is too strong a word and
should not be misused for trivial pur-
poses. AS we have observed more than
once before The Boomerang, in its zeal
tC preach calamity. has been misled.
1t sees as through IA glass darkly. 1t
couldn't see IA ray of hope or sunshine
of prosperity even with he aid of the

During past years The Boomerang
has hardly ever wearied of croaking
ever the possibility-and what a vague
and Eighty possibility.-that Laramie
might be abandoned as a division
point. Its rawlings on this subject have
been familiar to the people of Lara,

could do harm its dolorous prophecies
have injured Laramie. It's capacity

Forty Of the Ringleaders Placed in
Prison at New Orleans.

CHICAGO, Sept A special 20 the
Chronicle from New Orleans says:
Instead Of having obtained a good
start on her long journey, the British
transport Montcalm with 400 mules for
South Africa, which cleared Saturday
night from this port. has been anchored
In midstream a few miles below New
Orleans for forty-eight hours. A mu-
tiny on board caused the delay in the
sailing OF the transport English stok-
ers refused TO work alongside OF the
Danish stolxers and Chicago muleteers
rebelled against the quality OF food
furnished.
All day the acting British consul at
this port Mr.. Donnelly. the agents OF
the vessel and a commission OF British
ship captains wrestled with the problem
which confronts the big steamship.
Late last night scores of the ringleaders
Of the mutiny We're placed in prison.
The Montcalm cleared Saturday night
and dropped down the river few miles.
intending to start for the gulf on sun
day. Sunday, however. the British
stokers refused to so to work. They
had learned that four Danish stokers
had been given places on the ships
crew and they refused TO han
die a shovel Of coal until they had
been displaced
Then complication developed In
another quarter. Seventy muleteers
had been shipped and Of the seventy
thirty hailed from Chicago. The Chi
cagoans had had one meal from ships
fare and went on a strike. Efforts at
a compromise fell flat. As 4 last re-
sort the troubles were reported to the
acting British consul. The latter called
IN a commission Of British ship captains
who happened to be in port and or
dered them to sit as commission upon
the ships stores. They did so and re-
ported them clean and wholesome.
The agents said that the Danish stok-
ers would stay and the captain was or
dered at once to start for sea- He at
tempted to carry out his orders but the
men rebelled. The muleteers began to
make all kinds of threats and a riot was
In progress on board when the law was
appealed TO and a wholesale roundup
Of the ringieaders was inaugurated.
At first the report came from the point
off which the Montcalm was anchored
that seventy-five men had been made
prisoners. but only forty were marched
TO Jail. They were the British stokers.
Il seems that the American muleteers
got wind of what was going to happen
and made their escape. The stOkers
are being held on the charge of contem-
plating breach Of the peace. until the
acting British consul and the captain OF
the Montcalm decide upon what course
10 pursue.
