thousand acres
Besides these plants, the lumber yard
Of Upham Agler, with millions Of feet

The Chicago mill also had a large STOCK
Of lumber. 1t is estimated that the num-

Unable TO Get Bail.

An hour passed before Miss Sammarco
appeared, and in the mean time Sheriff
Harburger, foregoing several engage
ments; Deputy Sheriff Metzger, Deputy
Sheriff Gilmore, Deputy Sheriff Fugasy,
Deputy Sheriff Winters Lawrence Wolf,
the bond clerk, and Albert Elumenstiel,
of counsel to the Sheriff, all waited long
after the official hour for closing to rem
der their aid In freeing the unfortunate
woman. IN the mean time the woman's
husband returned, tired out by his fruit
less efforts to get bail for his wife.
At last Miss Sammarco, accompanied
by her brother-in-law and a young girl,
arrived, furnishing a great contrast to
her alleged slanderer. She wore an ex-
pensive cloth suit of light tan shade with
silk waist TO match a large tuscan straw
hat, surmounted by a willow plume Of
black and white, and in her gloved hand
she carried a silver mesh bag.
The expectant Samartans gathered
around her as Albert briefly stated the
case. The lawyer said: This woman is
under arIest, and ii is for you TO say
whether sic shall go to Jail. Remember,
she is the mother of four children, and it
would WORK a great hardship on her.
She is ready to apologize to you. Will
you accept an apology and let her go
free?'
Miss Sammarco's eyes flushed at the
suggestion, and with a shrug Of the
shoulders she said: NO; she spoil my
good name and she must go in Jail. She,
too, throw stone at me. But she spoil
my name, and that worth more than
anything to me. She must go in Jail"
Then Sheriff Harburger pleaded with
the determined young Sicilian.
Don't send this mother Of four chill
dren 10 Jail" he said.
Others took turn at arguing with her,
but all to no avail One of the men said
that Miss Sammarco should not send the
poor woman to Jail in a spirit Of perse-
cution, and that Holy Thursday was a

Utica, y. Y, April with three COM

tonight the scenes OF disorder early in the
dav were not repeated and the strike situ-
alton is comparatively quiet. The soldiers.
members of the 2Sth and 44th separate COM
panies. of this city. and the 3lst Company,
Of Mohawk, are stationed about the three
big cotton mills TO prevent damage to the
property and are also walking the streets,
dispensing groups of strikers as soon as
they form. The appearance Of the armed
mon put a stop to the brawls between
strikers and the recently sworn-in depu-
ties The women were the greater offend
ers tonight, for they insisted on getting
together and hurting epithets at the guards
and mlitamen. II was necessary In sew
cral instances TO drive the women to their
homes
Trouble is expected tomorrow. as many
Of the strikers who occupy houses belong
ing TO the New York Mills Company will
be asked 10 vacate. There are several hun

property and the attempt to evict them
will undoubtedly cause demonstration. 1t

Seven men were arrested during the day
for participation in brawls. Deputies were
stoned in several instances and were forced
10 fight back with loaded "bllies." One
man was cut about the face but no serious
damage was done The sheriff had issued
a riot proclamation and the saloons have
been closed by his orders. The few ems
ployes Of the mills who have not joined the
strikers are hard at work in the endeavor
to save the goods in process Of construc-
ton The passing of these employees TO and
from the mills is always accompanied by a
demonstration, but the militia has been
successful in controlling the strikers
The sheriff and thirty or forty deputies
were on guard at the mills yesterday and
last night, for the strikers became very
ugly Yesterday. The trouble was intensi-
fed because the company attempted TO
have a number Of foremen and others who
were willing 10 work run out the fabric
that was IN the looms and get the goods
out Of the watts. Thousands of dollars
worth Of stock was in danger OF being
spoiled unless the mills could be cleaned
up Also, it was necessary to keep up
steam and fires in the mills, so that the
water pressure would he available in case

with a situation such as is reported TO
