trouble . which continued . almoat un

the United Railways la violating , tha
laws of the city of San Tranolsco" In
allowing men to operate hia cara with
out having had seven days experience
in that alty, the- strikers believe they
have discovered a way in whicn all
of Farleya strikebreakers can be
thrown' Into Jail and the lines again
tied up. Warrants have been demand
ad and 750 of them laaued In the name
of John Doe. These will be served
upon the carmen who have been 1m

left for Portland several aays ago vh
a warrant out for hla arrest on a charge
of larceny by bailee for stealing inairu
ments from the Illinois Eye and Ear In

Back of the arrest Of Fenton is the
story of a Jeitous woman. Fenton was
apprehended upon the complaint of Su
perintendent Garrard or tne uunoia
Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, and
the warrant -charged the t larceny of
surgical instruments and a quantity of
medlolne left in tbe care of Anna ucan-
lon. a 1 nurse, aged S3. Mlas Scanion
thought highly ot Fenton ' nntll - she
learned that be was corresponding with
a young lady in Portland. Miss Scan
Ion, who says Fenton promised 1 to
marry her, Immediately confided to a
daughter of Superintendent Garrard
that Fenton had taken the instruments
and drugs., and the warrant was Is
sued. Tha property was returned some
time ago.

there ware a large number, a few sur

these continuously In his possession In
tha Infirmary where he was on duty,
