|. W. W. SIGN PEACE
PACT AT LINCOLN
Try to Rush County Jail and,
Failing to Release Friends,
Make Terms.
TWO FREED, FIVE REMAIN

(From q Staff correspondent
Lincoln, Neb., July lS.-(Special
Telegram. There will be no siege of
Lincoln by an army of Industrial
Workers of the World invaders, a
peace compact between Sheriff Hyers
and the leaders having been entered
into whereby two of the seven incar-
cerated in the county jail were re-
leased at o'clock this evening, the
five remaining agreeing to go to work
and perform the duties assigned them
by the sheriff.
T. R. Mentally, the Omaha repre-
sentative of the Industrial Workers
of the World, agreed to protect the
city from any more unlawful acts Of
its members, leaving man here to
have charge of the situation. He re-
turned to Omaha this evening.
This afternoon about 100 members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World marched to the Jail and made
an effort to scare Sheriff Flyers into
giving UP the men. The rushed up
the steps, but were met by Sheriff
Hyers and deputy and'by the vigor-
Gus use of club the men were driven
back.
The police arrived in time to quell
the disturbance, but the men were
very bitter and threatened that blood
would flow down the streets before
the trouble was over. One leader de-
clared that before the Industrial
Workers of the World were through
with Lincoln, the people would not
recognize it as city.
Governor Morehead said today he
will not pardon the men held in jail
here unless Sheriff Hyers requests
him to do so, and the sheriff does
not appear to be in a mood to make
the request.
There are now about 200 able
bodied Industrial Workers of the
World workingmen in Lincoln, while
farmers out over the state are crying
for help to harvest the wheat, offer
ing from So to 81 day and grub for
men who will come to their relief
1t is reported that a number OF
the Industrial Workers of World men
went out to Fairview, a suburb OF
Lincoln, this morning and scared two
women into feeding them.
What Law Says.
Mentally says that Sheriff Hyers
had no authority to arrest the men
for stealing ride on the Burlington
train. The statute reads:
$685. Stealing Ride on Train, whatsoever
shall climb upon, hold to or attach himself
In any manner to any locomotive, railroad
train or trains Of any character for
the intent Of stealing a ride shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.
$685. Authority is hereby given to and
conferred upon railway conductors of rail-
way trains to Immediately arrest any per-
son or persons violating the next preceding
section, without warrant or process and
deliver the offender over to any officer OF
the law, and to call upon any by-stander
others for assistance whenever the same
may be necessary.
5000. Penalty. Whosoever shall be con-
vlcted of a violation of any of the Of
lenses mentioned shall be punished by i'm

State Pays Small
Mobilization Cost


Lincoln, July 1S.-(Special. )-Of
the $4,000 which it probably cost to
mobilize the Nebraska troops at the
fair ground. it is estimated that about
$4,000 of this will have to be paid by
the state.
Had there been no mobilization,
the guard would later in the summer
have been called into summer camp,
which would have cost the state con-
siderably over three times that
amount, so General Hall is feeling
that the state gets out in pretty good
shape.
The drill which the troops will get
on the border will be much more
beneficial to them than any received
at summer camps,
