bridges of the Hock Island road across
Wild llorso creek ten miles south of

night last night presumably by men
sympathizing with the contest of tho
county seat town of Pond Creek

That the bridges were fired is evident
from tho finding of three coal oil cans
at one and two at the other. One
bridge was 90 and the other 00 feet

forces of the federal nnd stato gov-
ernments continued to maintain a
fairly satisfactory passenger service
In Northern California but notwith
standing this formidable military
array tho railroad ofilcials have been
unable to retrieve tho lost manage
ment of thoir freight business. The
passenger service too is by no means
restorod for trains aro still side
tracked at night time as a precaution
ary uionsure airainst train wreckers.
In Oakland yesterday morning tho
strikers formed Into several riotous
mobs of 200 or 300 men cncl. All In-
coming and outgoing passenger
trains were ho strongly guarded that
they A'eio not interfered with but
tho fury of these mobs fell upon such
luckless non-union men us the strikers
were able to waylay going to and
from their work. Several times the
troops wero called out to disperse tho
rioters and rescue the non-union mon.
Shortly utter noon a freight train was
started from the yards on the mole.
At tho Seventh street crossing the
non-union men in ciiargo of tho train
found themselves at the mercy of a
mob of strikers. A striker had man-
aged to climb aboard and cut tho air
brake. Tho train wns stalled and tho
rioters who soon swarmed about hnd
drawn all tho coupling pins.
Then a troop of cavalry and a com-
pany of infantry came down upon the
mob. The cavalrymen used their
sabers and clubbed tho rioters and
foot soldiers -prodded freely with
their bayonets. In the struggle two
shots wero fired by tho soldiers
though no ono wns hit. The strikers
woro finally put to illght. A number
of the rioters sought refuge in tho
cottage of a striker. Tho toldlcrs
afterward raided the house and ar-
rested twenty-one men. Several of
tho rioters woro sovcroly cut nnd
bruU&iL Tho freight traiu wat run
to a slde-trauk and abandoned. After
this occurrence tho soldiers going on
trains as guards woro given positive
orders to shoot anyone who attempt-
ed to interfere with any train. Final-
ly a freight train wns sent guarded
