Union Officials Indicted


Union Officials Indicted
The grand jury indicted - men in
connection with the death of Charles
Carlstrom, member of the Carriage
Makers union, who died as the result
of beating he received at the hands
of thugs hired by officials of the un.
ion, according to their own story.
The indicted men include the nine
union officials and the three men who
were hired to beat the men who did
not go on strike, or who took the
strikers places. The indictments
charge manslaughter and conspiracy
to commit great bodily injury, an
autopsy having shown that the death
ii Carlstrom was due directly TO pneu-
monia. Physicians declare that the
disease was probably the result OF in
juries he received. but it was still the
direct cause of death and the men
could not therefore be charged with
murder
Must Answer Questions.
Judge Kohlsaat of tie United
States district court ruled yesterday
afternoon that President Shea and
other union officials must answer the
questions put to them in tee hearing
before Master in Chancery Sherman.
In addition to ordering that the
men should answer the questions put
to them, Judge Kohlsaat ordered that
q men be called into court to show
cause why they should moi be pun
ished for contempt in violating the in.
junction of the court forbidGing inter.
ference with the management of the
wagons of the express companies.
TWenty-fOur men were also ordered
to show why they should not be pun
ished for contempt in violating the
order of the court issued fer the pro-
lection of The wagons of the Employ.
ers' Teaming company.
The union officials who ale ordered
t. answer questions will be called
before the master in chancery today,
end the questions will be asked of
fI.se to answer they will be cited for
contempt OF court.
The questions which the men will
be ordered to answer relate chiefly to
TIER knowledge or certain proceed
ings in the commencement of the
strike, it being the object OF the attor.
neys for the plaintiffs in the injunc-
ton proceedings to show that they
possessed knowledge of the strike,
ard that they in large measure con
tolled its movement and progress.

New C. G. S. Extensions.

Denver, June 30-Vice President and
General Manager j. M. Herbert of the
Colorado & Southern returned from
New York Wednesday, bringing word
that the directors had authorized the
construction of two extensions of the
system in northern Colorado, at a cost
OF about s150,000. One will extend
northerly from Fort Collins toward
Cheyenne, which will eventually be
connected up to the Wyoming capital,
and one running about fifteen miles
in a northwesterly direction through
the Cache la Poudre valley. Both roads
will be completed in order to handle
the fail crops. as they are designed to
open up a rich agricultural region.
There is no truth in the report that
the Colorado & Southern has pur-
chased the Cripple Creek Central road
nor are we negotiating for that road" T"
said Mr.. Herbert Bonds to the amount
of $17,000,000 have already been
placed and the money will be used
principally in the work of extending
the Trinity & Brazos Valley line of the
company in Texas. This line is now
constructed from Cleburne to Mexia.
Texas. and will be rapidly pushed on
to Houston. An extension will also
be built from Cleburne to Fort Worth.
This line will be completed about Jan.
uary 1st.
