t Fort Dodge. July pa pitched bat
tie took place between the angry citi
zens of MoDrland, small town near
here and gang of railroad graders on
Saturday afternoon and Sunday morn
ing. Several persons We're seriously in
jured. The graders started in to ter
lorize the town and beat several citi-
zens badly. Charles Holegan, farm
er, was Kicked and pounded brutality
and Bichard Barrett beaten into in :
sensbiity.
Many other fights took place during
the evening. thc railroad men going
about in twcs and threes and attacking
every single town man they met. Eyes
il, mourning. broken noses and a gen
eral distiguration was prevalent in
Moorland. Among the others seriously
hurt was John MaZana, who was at
tackled by several men and severely
pounded.
Early Sunday morning a party of
town men went to the house at which
one Hart. who had been a ringleader
called for him to come out. This he re-
fused to do and his visitors then Went
in and brought him out. and in not a
very gentle manner. Hart flashed Il
gun. but was prevented from using it,
He was then presented With a few inn
preSsiNe reminders and bleeding from
various cuts he was turned towards the
south and told to go. He wanted to
come 10 this city. but his ASSISTANTS de-
manded otherwise. Hart was badly done
up. but he was fortunate in getting
away With his life, as the excitement
was at such pitch that talk of hang
ing was seriously considered.
No further disturbances arose Sun
cay and it is thought that the treatment
accorded to Hart will serve to show the
railroad men that the town can not be
run by them.
The railroad men, who are employed
by the Great Western grading contrac-
rios on the Omaha extension near
Moorland. are nearly all hard charac-
tiers. but have never given trouble be-
fore. The townspeople are greatly en-
ragged and further and more serious
trouble may result.
