The engineer was ordered to back up , the coal cars on the switch. No stop was made until Alum Cave was reached. There the coal cars were 1 sidetracked, and the engineer and fire- ‘ man, with their engine, were released, j Shelburn, Ind., June 6.—The Evans- < ville & Terre Haute railway trestle, ; half a mile above here, was badly splintered early Monday morning by dynamite or giant powder. The trestle still bears up trains, but it furnishes evidence of a terrific explosion. Miners indignantly deny that they are in any way responsible. Chicago, June 6. —United States Marshal Arnold, with a large force of deputies, went on a special train on Monday to Streator in response to orders by Judge Grosscup, on application of counsel for the receivers of the Santa Fe railroad, for the purpose of arresting miners who are interfering with the running of trains at Streator and Coal City. The fact that the receivers were appointed by the United States court gives the federal authori- ■ ties jurisdiction.
