WORK OF STRIKERS.
A MAN KILLED ON HIS ENGINE.
Property Of Railroad is Being Guard
ed and Further Trouble Is
Feared.

Memphis, Tenn, May 11.-A special
to the Commerclal-Appeal, from Jack
son, Tenn, says: The strike on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad now on in
this city is assuming large proper
lions. One man killed, two trains
wrecked, and business badly tied up
is the result of the day in Jackson.
About o'clock yesterday morning
Chief of Police T. c. CASTOR and his
force were called to the union depot
by the officials of the road on ac-
count of a wreck having occurred
there, alleged to be the work of the
strikers. A fshplate had been laid
between the rails of switch and a
monster engine was ditched. The en-
CINE was placed on the rails again
and returned to the shop, and when
1t returned to carry the train north
the switch was thrown and another
delay occasioned.
Yesterday at IL o'clock VIII Yarbo-
TO, young man, was shot and killed
on the tender OF his engine. Yarboro
boarded the train the day before at
Bethel Springs, south of here, made
a trip to Okolona, Miss, as a brake
man and returned to Jackson yester-
day. The train on which he was kill
ed was the same as that manned by
Captain Pringle, bridge foreman,
