The Transit Company continues TO aug
ment its force of non-union employees, and
its Il ansportation facilities at a alto that
promises to see the system in full swing
before many days have passed.
Al to-day's hearing in the coroner's in
quest over the bodies Of strikers and
citizen killed last Sunday by members OF
the sheriff's posse comhatus, the testi-
mony adduced tended to show that Dep
uty Sheriff Marsh shot Frederick Bohne,
the citizen in question, but the wisnesses
disagreed as to the deputy's provocation
for shooting. After hearing the testimony
of about thirty-hve witnesses, the jury
returned a verdict of homicide. Several
of the deputies testified that Police Lieu
tenant Stack ordered the deputy sheriffs
to fire on the crowd, while Stack declared
he did all in his power to prevent the
deputies from firing.
The disappearance OF Deputy Sheriff
Marsh was a startling development at the
inquest 1t is believed that Marsh has Left

for him, probably unless friends of the
