TROUBLE AT LYNDONVILLE.
Seven Strike breakers Arrested For
Disturbing the Peace.

Lyndonville was the scene of a
small riot Sunday afternoon when the
new foreman of a bunch of strike
breakers drew a gun to intimidate a
number of dissatisfied 1aborers who
were forcibly demanding their trans
portation to their homes.
A hurry call was sent to Sheriff
Worthen of St. Johnsbury who with
seven deputies arrived on the scene
in a very short time with warrants
for the arrest of the disturbing par
ties, seven of whom were brought to
the county Jail to appear at Lyndon
vile tomorrow on a charge of dis
turbing the peace.
During the strike of the trackmen
chat has been on the past few weeks
the railroad company has been i'm
porting men into Lyndonville yards
to take the strikers places and last
Friday afternoon a party of 1 5 men
arrived from New York City in ans
wer, they claim, to an advertisement
calling for men for open shop work
at $3.50 per day and board. After
finding out they were to go on as
strike breakers they refused to work
as such, and asked for transportation
back to New York. The men claim
either work or walk and having no
money they were forced of necessity
to work until yesterday, when they
again demanded their transportation.
The men say the trouble first started
in the dining car, when, after present
ing their demands to the gang fore
man he used abusive language to
them which later led to the mix-up on
Depot street.
The story as told Celedonian re-
porter by one of the arrested men is as
follows:
We met the foreman on Depot
street shortly after the trouble in the
car and something was said relative
to not working the next day. The
foreman told us he guessed we would,
using epithets that caused two of the
men to strike at the same time. He
drew the gun about that time. Those
in the near vicinity made for cover.
Several lady witnesses added more to
the confusion by shrieking murder
and calling for the police"
By the time the sheriff and his
party Of seven arrived the excitement
was mostly over but warrants were
issued for seven men whose names
were given as follows: G. Miller, Joe
Duffy. John Ryan, F. Doyle, Fred
Patterson, J. Farley, F. Graham.
The men when seen at the Jail
seemed to be of a hardworking sort
and were all young men not over rs
years Of age.
This makes the second party of
men imported by the railroad COM
pany or their agents who upon arriv-
al have refused to work because of
the strike that was on.
For fear of further trouble two dep
nties, Ernest Morrill, and Dennis
rwombly. were left for duty at Lynn
1onville.

won unstinted praise and proved to
have undaunted courage at all points
in the contest-notably Gettysburg

struggle.

almost succeeded. 1t was only after
calling the police at stations along the
line that he was finally apprehended
