South Bend, Ind, July 25-Although
q mob was gathering. the officials of
the Grand Trunk railroad sought to
resume train service through this city
at any cost. Their plan included the
operation of both passenger and
freight trains and the resumption OF
the yard engine service. The latter
measure it is believed will be most
likely to incite trouble, but the yards
are glutted with cars and some
switching is regarded as absolutely
necessary. Many of the cars contain
perishable freight and the loss to the
railroad is increasing with the cars
standing idle.
The railroad resumed passenger
service through the city early this
morning. The Chicago and Detroit
train due to arrive at 1870 O'Clock this
morning. coming into the city only
about thirty-five minutes late. The
train carried force of armed Pinker-
ton men and detectives sat at the open
windows with drawn revolvers as the
train passed through the yards. The
officers stood guard as the passengers
alighted from the coaches but their
presence was not necessary as no in
reference was offered.
The South Bend station was opened
today, after having been closed as an
emergency police station and hospital
throughout the night. When the train
service was entirely abandoned yes
terday the station was closed and
locked and kept in readiness for the
confinement of possible prisoners or
victims of the moh:
The roads two westbound trains
last evening were delayed just outside
the city so long as the passengers and
mail were taken off and the trains
were annulled. The officials decided
to stop the Lehigh Valley westbound
express train due at 6:O5 o'clock
after it had stood on the siding east
of the city for about seven hours.
Louis Freel, the strikebreaking car
repairer, who was shot by railroad
detective yesterday will die, accord
ing to word from the Epworth hospi-
tai this morning. The surgeons have
been unsuccessful in locating the bull
let.
Although the mob sis kept we'll in
check by large force of police and
deputie sheriffs the trouble here is
partly over The crowd was much
smaller today than yesterday, indt-
eating that the union men generally
are at their work.
Every effort will be put forth to
avoid repetition of violence that
marked the strike at the station yes
terday afternoon and last evening. The
crowds today that gathered at differ
ent points along the railroad was
made up largely of men and boys
many of whom had no particular in
terest in the strike.
The strikers attempted to derail an
east bound passenger train yesterday
afternoon at Olivera, the first station
at which east bound trains stop in
passing through South Bend. The
engineer noticed the turned switch
signal in time to bring his train to a
stop and thereby probably prevented
injury. if not loss of life.
Rioting in the local railroad yards
began Saturday night and continued
spasmodically throughout Sunday. One
man was injured seriously by Jock
Peck of Battle Creek. Mich, who is
oae of the employees of private de-
tective agency which is assisting the
railroad. Peck was arrested.
