ATROL. INCREASED
Mayor Taylor Takes Steps to Assure
Peace-Picket Tent Will Be Re-
moved From Vicinity of Street Car
Barn Chronicle Charges Police
Ambushed Non-Union Men.
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Sept. 12-Another
scene of rioting was enacted at the
street car barns on the corner of
Twenty-fourth and Utah streets last
night, following the arrest of w. A.
Ruce, the non-union carman, on COM
plant of young women who have been
annoyed by him with remarks as they
passed
Ruce resisted arrest and was SER
iously cut. The police allege that they
were then attacked by non-union men.
A riot squad of 35 patrolmen under
Lieutenant Coberly came up and in
the fight which followed a score of
heads we're broken and a number of
arrests were made. Eventually the
non-union men were driven back into
the car barn. The police claim that
the carman who started the row is an
ex-convict.
Mayor Taylor has increased the
mission patrol with % more men, in
accordance with his promise Mon
day. The picket tent at Twenty-fourth
and Coterio streets, a block from the
company barn, is to be removed. 1t
has been headquarters for trouble for
weeks past.
The Chronicle today commented up
on Tuesday nights rioting in the Mis-
sion district, when five non-union car
operators in the employ of the United
Railroads were shot by union pickets
and policemen, and charges that the
police ambushed non-union men ana
fought against them side by side with
their union tormentors. The Chroni-
Gle pointed out that Patrolmen Wade
and Bigelow, who shot the carmen,
were appointed to the police force at
the beginning Of the strike, when a
union labor police commission and a.
union chief of police were in control.
"These policemen" says the Chron-
icle, shot from ambush, fighting
with the pickets Of the union. The
men they shot were engaged in the
peaceful performance Of their duty.
After the fighting the policemen pro
ceeded to Arrest non-union carmen,
whom they themselves had wounded,
but refused to take into custody any
of the pickets of the carmen's union.
After the outrage the policemen in
the first reports they made to the
department, denied that they had
fred a shot. Later thye admitted that
they had emptied their revolvers at
the non-union men"

Helena, Sept. 12.-At 2:4O o'clock
this morning the Great Northern west
bound passenger train No. was held
up at Ronda, the first station west OF
Rexford in northwestern Montana,
along the Kootenai river in Flathead
county. The mail and express cars
were entered, the contents Tifled and
the robbers escaped with their booty
None of the passengers were mo.
Tested. A posse is in pnrs uit, with
little hope of catching the despera-
does.
The safe in the express car was
blown open with dynamite, and the
contents taken. The train crew and
passengers saw only two Inen, but
others we're nearby in the woods. The
robbers, seen by the train crew, were
masked and heavily armed. One Of
them wore high boots, Indicating that
the robbers were mountaineers.
The mail and express cars were un-
coupled and taken down the track a
few hundred feet. While one robber
covered the train crew and express
messengers, the other went through
the registered mail and secured his
plunder. Then he turned his attention
to the express car, blew up the safe
with nitro glycerine and, throwing the
plunder in sacks, the two men hur-
ried off in the darkness.
Word of the holdup was quickly sent
TO Ronda, and by o'clock a posse
was on the ground, mounted and arm
ed with rifles and revolvers.
It is the belief of the authorities
that the men have crossed into Cana
da, basing the assumption upon the
fact that they rifled the mail. This is
said to be the first robbery in many
years where the mail has been touch
ed. Criminals have learned that Uncle
Sam is relentless In pursuing robbers
who touch mails. a
Several reports have been received
from the members of the POSSE and
the last information received from
them they were riding slowly, picking
out the trail. The country LII sparsely
settled, heavily timbered and very rug
ged, and it is impossible to got through
the mountains unless by sticking to
the trail. Another bad feature is that
it is onlyN a few miles from the Cana
dian border and the officials are con.
vinced that by o'clock this morning
the bandits were safely across the bor-
der having made the dash. urL der cover
of darkness.
Officials Of the Great Northern here
say they cannot tell how much was So
cured by the robbers from the safe
in the express car, but it Il, believed
they got away with big haul. The
registered mail Is known to have been
heavy.

MAYOR FOSTER WAS FIRST TO
MAKE ENTRY ON NEW
DISCOVERY.
TO DEVEL.OPE SOON
TWO Veins Four Feet and Half
Which Extend over Three Sections
-Four Filings Have Been Made
Local Capital Interested = Expert
Will Be Employed.

What is said to be valuable and
extensive coal field has been discov-
cred on the south side of the Yellow
stone few miles from Big Horn and
Custer stations. A number of local
men have already made coal entries
ON the land, and development work
has been started.
The discovery Of coal in the new
field, it is said, dates back to three
years ago when a. rancher on the
lower Yellowstone interested several
local people in the scheme and
brought wagon load of the coal t.,
this city. Soon after, the man died
and nothing more was done regarding
the discovery until the latter part of
last month, when Mayor Foster, it is
said, in company with several local
men made trip to the Big Horn
country to look over the find Later
he returned with a surveyor and SUR
veyed the coal field.
Wednesday, Mr. Foster, R. e. Shep-
herd and Andrew S. Shannon made
coal entry on lands in the new dis
trict which is in Rosebud county, and
yesterday William Lavelle, Charles
G. Coates, Thomas E. Graham and
James w. Mcdonald made entry on
coal lands in this district also.
Mayor Foster made entry on lots
3, 4, and 6, in section 1, township
north, range 35 east. Andrew Shan
non made entry on lots Z, and u, in
section 2, township 4 north, range 35
east. r. e. Shepherd made coal entry
on the southwest quarter Of section 35,
township 5 north, range 35 east. Yes
terday William Lavelle, Charles Coats,
E. Graham and James w. Mcdonald
made entry on lots 1 to s inclusive, in
section 4, and lots 3 to inclusive in
section 2, all in township north
range IS east.
Although the discovery is said to
have been made several years ago, it
was not made public at that time. A
number of geological surveys have
been made in the country where the
coal field was discovered, yet no signs
of coal was found by them, at least no
traces of coal are shown on the maps
or notes in their report of the forma.
tion of the country
In an interview with a we'll known
local capitalist Interested in the de-
velopment of the new field, he stated
that the find was promising one and
that two outcroppings four and one.
half feet wide have already been
found. "The coal is of a very good
quality" said he, yesterday, and the
field seems to be confined to two or
three sections. Development work is
being done at present and as soon az
the work progresses little farther
experts will be employed to ascertain
If possible just how large a vein we
have, and the quantity of coal in the
ground. The vein seems to peter out
as it nears the bad lands, but while it
lasts seems to carry considerable
COAL"
Those interested are very enthusl-
astic over the discovery and say that
the field is in close proximity TO the
railroad.
