Sioux CITY, la., April ls.--About It: miles of rapid transit were tied up Sunday by the Sunday law enforcement movement. The Peavy electric system, which operates 25 miles ol road, was the first to lie1 nt,tacked by (iflicers armed with ivarrants for their arrest, but soon after the cable line and the Unogc system were also assailed. The warrants charged violation of the Sunday statutes. They were served on the moUirinen and the conductors. As fust as the men were taken off the cars by the otlicers other men took their places, while arrangements were made for giving bonds

Cllureh-ioers Hoi-red to Walk. The Peavy system held out for two hours, but finally at noon called its ears in and tied up for the day. The elevated railway which connects with line to Morning Side was dealt with more easily, as it has only two trains. The enforcers timed,-their work so as to tie up the lilies while the people were at ehureh. and thus 500 people were cut off by the stopping of the road from Morning Side, 5 miles distant.

Soured liy a Shotgun.

The Riverside Electric Company tnade a lively fight, and run most of the day by skillful relays of motorinen. Once when all the men were tinder arrest Charles 11. Swan, one of the proprietors, took the train out. The cable company succeeded in running all day. At a critical time John Pierce, a Sioux City millionaire, owner of the line, took the lever and ran train.

When the ollieers weut to the power house to stop the engine they found the door barricaded and Mr. Pierce behind it with a shotgun. Me threatened to shoot the first mail that entered. None entered.

Many Arresls Made.

A crowd of 4,000 assembled at the downtown terminus of the cable to witness the fight. The cable line employes mixed with the crowd and at a signal would leap on the cars and start them. About 100 arrests were made, and all on the information of two saloonkeepers. They are the first in retaliation for the closing up of saloons bv the newlyelected mayor, who. although an antiproliibitionist, declares that he will observe his oath of ofliee. He ordered the police to close all the saloons. The whisky men have raised a large fund to retaliate.

Will. Kxtend Their ICflbrt*.

They did not stop with the rapid transit lines, but arrested every propri etor of cigar -anil news and cand stands and similar business caught with open doors. They say that they have only made a beginning and that next Sunday they will extend it to many other lines of business. They intend to stop the morning newspapers. There is universal indignation amon the citizens. The result will be that Sioux City will be made red hot for whisky sellers.

LATEST MEWS. I

GII.I.KTTK, Wyo.. April 18.—The situation here is if anything more exciting than before the invading army ol cattlemen was surrendered to the United States troops. It is now certain that a plan is arranged by which so-called rustlers will make an effort to take the prisoners by force from the troops, if it is seen that they will not be turned over for trial to the civil authorities. This does not necessarily mean that they are to be mobbed, but the people are determined to have them submit to the laws governing such eases, even il it costs much bloodshed.

Warned or ait Attack. I

Everybody is armed, and though the people desire to uphold the law, yet they fear the prisoners will be assisted out of the country bv the wealthy cattlemen. The rustlers are greatly excited and bitter against the cattlemen. The prisoners are to be moved to Fort Douglas, near Salt Lake City. Col. Van Horn has been warned that the troops will be atta -lied en route, and is preparing for and expects engagements. If the rustlers make the attack it will certuinly be a sanguinary battle. I

Want to Hang Them.

The rustlers, who number over 1,00(1 and are all well-armed, insist that Hcssa, Ford and Elliott, the imprisoned cattlemen, be delivered to them. If they get the prisoners they certainly will be hanged. Col. Van Horn hesitates to remove the prisoners, fearing the troops will be overpowered. The leader of the rustlers. M. A. Keider, is a VOMUR Methodist minister, who possesses the absolute confidence of his followers, Gov. Barber is determined to check the warfare even if he has to call on the government for troops. Everybody familiar with the situation is appreheusive of another outbreak.

from Col. Sheridan, adjutant, general I department of the Platte, the attache? of the adjutant's oflk-e remained on I duly a: army headquarters until midniglit in order to be prepared to handle dispatches from the seat ol trouble in Wyoming. CY1. Van Horn, the commanding ofllecr at Fort McKinnev, ordered three troops of oavalry to escort the captured cattlemen to Douglas. If any trouble is brewing it will take place between the fort and railway station. It is understood that the prisoners will be taken to Fort Russell—Cheyenne— where the Seventeenth infantry is slationed. From the general talk anion-:' army officers it was inferred that u: fight would take place.
