FoRsYTHE, April 26.-Coxey's army came
as far cas-, as Forsythe and there went
into camp for the night. Supcrintendents
Dorsey and Finn furnished a special train

TO Fort Kcogh and there loaded all of the
infantry, about 800 men. They then pro-
ceeded to Forsythe, leaving Keogh at go.
In addition to the government or

Hawkins of Custer county, who
accompanied soldiers, had state warrant
for the arrest of Commander William
Hogan. Lieutenant Pat Meaney, Conduct

and Cleveland, and 10 Others upon o
charge of grand larceny in stealing tools
and coal from the railroad company. The

BILLINGS, April 25.-First blood in the

shot and will die. One army man, whose
name was not learned, was shot through
the arm. Mr.. Mcmahon of Butte, and
several others had their heads smashed

rocks and took their rifles and smashed
them. The army got hog engine from

transportation free TO Washington. This
was refused by the receivers. The men
broke into round house, captured an en-.

the railroad authorities applied for and
obtained from the federal court an in
junction to restrain them. An authority
for this was the fact that the railroad was
now in the hands of the United States and
the courts were responsible for its man
agement through the receivers. The Ho-
ganites disrcgarded the injunction and
the court issued writs OF arrest against
them for contempt of court.
When the United States marshal
sought to serve the writ, he, with his
deputies, was locked up by the Hoganites
and the party ran away with the train,
headed for Washington. Finding them.

There was no ground for the interfer.

Already Donovan is famous to
the remotest borders of the state.
The Detroit NeUs prints an inn
mense picture of Donovan, and
dedicates to the Democratic lone
star these burning words:
1.-THE first John was the voice
crying in the wilderness; so is
the latest John to achieve dis
tinction. He is the Democratic
party in the legislature of 1895.
He is Winkelried and the Pass of
Thermopy@, all in one. He is
the New Zealand on London
bridge sketching the ruins of
London. He is Napoleon pacing
the quarter deck alone on the
way to st. Helena. He is the
solitary sentinel on the watch
tower. He must be awake all
times to partisan legislation, and,
being the Democratic party, must
keep himself well organized to
withstand the attacks of the enc
my upon the principles of which
he is at once the custodian, the
representative and the protec-
tor. About the first thing he
will do will be to hold a joint
caucus with himself to nominate
party candidates for the United
States senatorship. Donovan, of
Bay, is a landmark. He is a
monument of Democratic great
ness. He is all that is left of his
party in Michigan. More power
to him.

sort he said substantially as
follows: "Sweet will never be

he will never be elected. He
