been slow to-day, and everybody was IN
suspense regarding the final decision.
The long arguments of the attorneys, be-
fore Judge Miner, took up most of the
forenoon. The decision of the court was
that the order was so modified as to JUS
tify the Territorial officials in putting the
army out of the city, provided it had not
moved by 10 O'Clock tomorrow. The de-
cision was complete vindication of the
position taken by the Territorial officials,
and Marshal Brigham and United States
deputies were instructed to enforce the
order. It is believed by the most con-
servative men of all classes, that there
was but one course for the court to pur-
sue, and that one was the one clearly
marked out by the ruling this afternoon.
The Southern Pacific officials say they
will bow to the decision of the court.
In rendering his verbal decision, Judge
Miller said: ''This is one of the most diff
fcult decisions have ever been called
upon to make. There is but little author
ity directly In point, If any. 1t was gov
erned by the general principles that may
be applicable to this class of cases. There
are no precedents. The court is obliged
to travel over road that has never been
travelled before, to my knowledge. l
would gladly have left this matter for
some other court; but the position l hold
Is such that when called upon the court is
bound to act. Had | consulted my own
individual private feelings concerning it,
and influenced by those views OF law that
seemed TO be applicable and necessary, it
might have made little differences; but
doubtful as this question has been. can
solve it, in the light of advice | have had,
only in the way l have indicated. / trust
In the execution of the order that all par
ties will endeavor TO keep the peace in
every way possible, so that no injury
may result to any one on account of it
that is, if the order is not complied with
before. l trust the Marshal in the execu-
tion of the order, will use extraordinary
caution and care that no injury is DONE"
After the decision was rendered Cen
eral Kelly put the question to those in IA
vor of going to Washington, to ride if
possible, if not to walk, when 200 hands
went UP, but one voting to return.
After the men decided to go East Gov
ernor West warned them against their
unwise decision.
General Kelly then made a stirring
speech to the men, picturing the priva-
tions of long trip on foot, but The men
were firm. Many men are sick and suf-
fering for the lack of clothing. One died
last night, and is identified as a Utah eX-
convict. B. Abbott. butcher, died to-
day from exposure in coming over the
mountains.
At o'clock the army prepared to aban-
don the camping-ground on the Weber
River. There was but little to do in the
way of packing up. A large number OF
blankets and clothing have been donated
by the citizens, and the army Will carry
provisions enough to last several days.
At 4:30 this afternoon Mayor Brough
went to the Industrial camp and made
the arrangement for them TO march. The
army marched up town and halted in
front of the courtroom. The court took
recess and Kelly addressed the army. At
the close of his remarks three cheers
were given 1or Ogden and the army
marched East, escorted by detachment
of Utah cavalry, which will accompany
them to the Wyoming line. The army
will camp tonight at Uintah, eight miles
east of Ogden.
No one has any idea that the Industrial
Army will walk very far. 1t is said that
there is some understanding that train
will be found on the line not great dis
tance from Uintah, which the army will
board and ride 10 Denver, where they
expect to be received with open arms by
Governor Waite.
Inspector General Tatlock, who went
out with the army in command OF the
escort, has just returned TO the city and
says the army has gone into camp for the
night four miles east of the city. 1t is
estimated that the expense caused by the
Industrial Army being here will run up
to the total OF $4,000.
Governor West received the following
telegram to-day from c. P. Huntington:
You have been misintormed, as 1 am
quite sure neither the police nor officers
IN California loaded the men into the cars.
We were asked to haul the men free, and
refused, but agreed to give them reduced
rates, as many of them were desirous of
reaching their homes in the East. We be-
ieve after careful consideration your peo-
pie will do what they can to help them
get to their destination, as they have no
lnducement to return West. l am certain
their condition will be improved when
they get into the field of labor east of the
Mississippi River. As a matter of hu-
manity, we should help them on their
way. Our company can do nothing, as it
is not organized for charity, but for busi-
ness; but l personally will contribute
500 toward helping them."
WILL TRAVEL IN BOX CARS.
SALT LAKE, April ia special from
Uintah to the Tribune says the Indus
trial Army will leave that place for the
East at 1920 tonight in twenty box cars
on the Union Pacific road.
DID A GOOD THING FOR THE MEN.
SAN FRANCISCO, April IL. = c. +.
Crocker, First Nice-President of the
Southern Pacific Company, was asked
how he viewed the suggestion that the
Southern Pacific was liable to punish
ment for having violated the interstate
commerce law in transporting the army
to Ogden for 5000 when the regular rate
would have amounted to about So, 900.
"If we have violated the law l would
like to see the courts say So" replied Mr..
Croeker. 81 would like TO see what the
courts would or could do in such case.
1t seems to me the company did right;
that it did good thing for the men, as
we'll as for all concerned in such a way
that we had to make low rate to get
them out OF Oakland or submit to the
power of mum Ders and haul them for
nothing. The railroad is naturally open
for whatever business is offered. 1t
would cost less to send the men out in a
body aud De less iDconvenient to us. than
to have them boarding our trains and
harassing our employees at all times of
the day and night. The men are in Og
den. and / do not see any way of getting
them back unless they want TO come and
are willing TO pay full fare for the return
trip"
