STRIKERS RIOTOUS
THEY ASSAULT NoS-UNIoN WORK
ERs AT COLUMBIA.
ATTACK MOST UNFORTUNATE
THIS IS THE OPINION OF THE
STRIKE LEADERS.

The Mob Broke Through High Fence
Around Southern Railway Yards
and Fired Upon Car in which
Twensy NOn-Union Laborers Were
Sleeping and Whom They Dragged
Out and Ordered 10 Travel North.
Four, at Least, of the Strikers
Known to Have been wounded.

Railway shops in this city were assaulted
about $3.50 o'clock this morning by a mob

which twenty were sleeping. A man,
whose name is said to be Myers. was on
guard He fred both barrels OF his gun

skull was not penetrated.
The mob fired a great many bullets into
the car in which the men were sleeping

ed, but after they had been dragged out
of the car they were pretty badly han
died. They were marched up the rail-
road track several miles and ordered to
travel on north.
Later in the day all but one OF these
men were brought back to the city by
an expedition sent out from the shops.
1t was not until this afternoon that 1t
was known any OF the rioters had been
wounded. Close inquiry developed the fact
that the wounds Of four men, at least
one having serious wounds. had been
dressed this morning by two physicians.
The doctors said they did not know the
names of the men.
The strike leaders and the head men in
the labor unions that have supported the
striking machinists regard the attack this
morning as most unfortunate from the
standpoint of the strikers.
A number of the most influential strik-
ers did not known, so 1t Is said, OF the
contemplated attack. Six policemen are
stationed at the shops tonight but no

know" he continued, the Lacey law
compels US to get permit from the Az
ricultural Department before we can
take the birds or animals out of storage
In the warehouses. During this hot
weather this is especially distressing,
both to Us and to the animals, who are
cooped up without proper care and
attention, and who are very likely to
die. The delicate and fragile creatures
of which the greater part of my stock
consists generally suffer in their trans
portation by water or rail, and have to
be very carefully handled when re-
ceived or they will die. The reason for
this precaution on the part of the law,
or one of the reasons, i have been given
to understand, is the fear of importing
contagious diseases into this country

is probably one of the discoveries of

A WONDERFUL GLEN.
A Remarkable Place In Texas De-
kcribcd by a Small Boy.

The following Is part of a letter from
Frank Spalding, who is campaigning in
Llano County, and is his way of describ-
ing famous glen owned by Mr. Wilburn:
Dear Mother: Yesterday l went to Will
burns Glen with about nine other people
We got in four-seated hack and had a
good drive out there. We camped in a
small log cabin and slept on the floor at
night. and can tell you from experience
that II was not very comfortable. Well
at o'clock We went to the top of a noun
tain We were camping near by and saw
the sun set, and of all the beautiful
sights l have ever seen this was one of
the prettiest. We could see the last rays
of the sun as II sank and 1t was red all
around. When We were climbing UP the
mountain We followed up a spring, a
beautiful spring that splashed down the
mountain side, and all around 1t grew
beautiful mountain ferns-maidenhair and
other kinds of ferns-but as / had no
way to get them back did not get any
We'll, the place is called the Garden of
Eden and is the mort beautiful place |
have ever seen. Mr.. wilbur. the owner
of this beautiful place, showed us all
around. He showed us where Moses
struck the rock and the water poured
from it-only he struck II SO hard that II
pours from many different places. He
showed us where Jesus was tempted by
the devil, and In a cave near by is the
image of man-you can see every part
of him plainly. II was there all the time
and Mr.. Wfburn says this Is the devil.
I'VE saw the Fountain of Youth, where
you could battle and become young again
Ii was the clearest spring l have ever
of II and perch were swimming around in
it. / drank some of the water In "A gourd
and 1t certainly was fine, and there was
a very pretty girl there whom two OF the
boys got struck on. and she gave them
some flowers and told them to call again
Mr.. Wilburn showed us the indian
Springs and he showed US where Jesus
passed under a tree and q man climbed
up In the tree to look at him. He show
ed us the ass that Jesus himself rode into
Jerusolam on q don't know how to spell
that world. There WAS a beautiful spot
hemmed in by tail cliffs on ali sides. about
from 60 to 100 feet high, and In the middle
was a spring chasing down the rock and
one place the spring made drop of
twenty feet. and IL certainly looked grand,
and II was so clear. Mr. Wilburn made US
write our names down for him and the
city we lived In. He is going to have II
published in the Llano paper and send us
n copy Of It. Well, that Is all, except that
we caught a good string OF fish today.
