When the gang quit work and went I to demand passes from Mr. Bollons to j Portland the Greek foreman, who is the spokesman, left town and did not show himself during the trouble.

T Held Up tor Two Hours. For two hours they held him on J the depot platform, surrounded by an J angry mob, ready to take "his life, if , ho should make a defensive move, X ' his tioI judenvnt and experience )ln handling men prevented trouble .at T . that time. A While they were trreatenlng him j and making hostile demonstrations. Assistant Superintendent M. J. Buck T ley was quietly collecting nn armed I ' force to drive the heathens out of j town, and by furnishing all tho car repairers and laborers around the yards with pick handles and clubs the mob was driven away from the depot by a comparatively small force of men. The Greeks contested the ground, when they saw they were being driv en out of town, and the leaders urged them to rally and fire on the white men. None of the foreigners seemed tr have the nerve of the leader, how. ever, and the entire gang was forced out of tho city and into their camp. The Greeks fired upon the white men first, and owing to the fact that no one was injured the 'citizens did not shoot to kill the laborers. Had a MRS.
