 But the end is not in the arrests of the above. This afternoon about six teen more warrants were placed in the hands of the police for the apprehen- sion of others. some of them strikers and some of them strike sympathizers, all charged with assaulting Merna and Morrissette with intent to murder them. The alleged intent to murder is said to be shown in the act of the assailants in placing the unconscious bodies of the strike breakers across the tracks in front of the car for the pur- pose 1t is said, of having them run over and killed.
 It is thought that when all the war rants have been served and the ac-. eused are in custody, it will be an easy matter to place the death Of Officer Mendelssohn on the actually guilty party. It is also believed that the war; rants were not issued without good and sufficient basis for issuing them and that the authorities had some mo- tive in not accomplishing the arrest at the one time of all those suspected 0f the crime. for 1t would necessarily cause an alarm among those who would escape the police net In the first haul.
 The information in the hands of the authorities and which led to Issuing the warrants was gathered by Pink erton man whose name is said to be O,Connor, by Detective Dodds and Sheriff Rigney. There Is a reward of S2OO for the conviction of every man charged with the assault on Merna and Morrissette and the reward for dis closing the man who fired the bullet that killed Officer Mendelssohn amounts to $13, $50.
 Policemen are securing the town in lgearch of other parties wanted and it l is probable that several other import ant arrests will follow within a few hours.
