PACIFIC CHIEF QUITS
Having Been Discharged, he Says Company
Has Been Whipped.
COMPANY ACCUSES HIM OF BEING FALSE
Strike Leaders, However,, Deny that
Captain of shop Guards Has Been
In C~OlIupion with Them
at Amy Time.

The company is whipped. I don't know
why It does not give in. The conditions
at its shops are something awful" said
the Union Pacihc's private guards at the
shops since the strike begun last June.
Mr.. Bsterline's services have been dis
pensed with and he has packed his effects
preparatory to leaving for his home in
st. Louis. Mr.. Esterline does not deny
that his resignation was enforced.
The company has suspected my loyalty
for some time; the officials have accused
me Of being in collision with you fellows"
Esterline is said to have remarked to
William Richelieu and other strikers as
he left the shops. But" he continued,
that accusation is false. Just as false az
1t can be. l nave tried to do my duty
and have been loyal to the interests Of the
Union Pacific"
William Richelieu has charge OF the
strikers pickets and has been one of the
most active promoters Of the strike all
along. He has incurred the special dis
favor Of the company by his constant vigil
lence. Mr.. Richelieu says, with other
strike leaders, that IL Esterline has been
false to the trusts imposed in him by the
Union Pacific It never became known 70
the strikers. They have found in hin a
strong champion OF his employers inter-
ests.
Eleven more men were added to the shops
force here yesterday, while fifteen more
went out. The force now at the shops is
said to number a little over 200. Reports
from Cheyenne say twenty more men have
given up the ghost there and walked out.

CHANGES IN THE SCHOOLS
New Arrangements I'm Rooms and
Grades to he Made by
the Board.

An important meeting OF the teachers
committee OF the Board OF Edit cation will
be held Monday afternoon for tie purpose
Of re~arranging the rooms and GRADES in
some OF the buildings. 1t is proposed to
close one OF the rooms at the Columbian
school and TO open one at the Saunders
school. At present a number of pupils
who really live in the Saunders school
ward are attending the Columbian school.
1t is believed that II they are returned
to their own building there will be a large
enough number to warrant the opening
Of another room, while one at the other
school may be closed. The transfer Of
these pupils has caused the grades in both
schools to be greatly disarranged. and salts
factory results, it is said, are not being
secured under existing conditions. AZ soon
as they are sent back the grades in both
buildings will be reaFranged.

DAMAGE TO CONDUIT LINES
Wet Weather Causes trenches TO
Cave In Before Work IL
Completed.

The rain and snow Of the last few days
have proved a serious drawback to the
work upon the underground conduits Of the
Thomson Houston company. which IL has
been expected would be finished some time
in the coming week. In a number Of
places the street excavations and embank-
ments have been caused to fall
in by the wet weather and the
eonduits have been filled with mud and
water. One place where particular damage
has been done is the alley between Harvey
and Farnam streets. 1t is estimated by
the general superintendent in charge Of the
work that the damage in the last three
days has reached $500, or perhaps $500.
Naturally this destruction will delay the
completion OF the work.
