story OF the Fight From the Town Where
it Occurred.

BILLINGS, Mont, April 25.-At noon
to-day the 500 mem mbers of Hogan's army,
on tneir stolen train, arrived In THIS
city and close at their heels was q train
bearing - deputy United States Mar
shals and conflict between the deputies
and army was at once preclpitated,
which resulted in one man on each side
being severely wounded.
The stolen train with its CoXeYltes on
board had spent the night at Columbus,
a small station formerly known as Still
water, and the deputies overlook them
40 that point and demanded their sur
render. Gen. Hogan paid no attention
TO the commands of the deputies 10
GIVE Up POSSESSION
OF the stolen train and ordered his men
70 20 ahead. The two trains came on
slowly during the forenoon, the dspu-
ties closely following after the CoXey-
ties and watching for an opportunity 70
seize them and their train. On arriv-
ing at this city a stop was ordered and
a conflict resulted. U. ). Marshal Nc
Dsrmott ordered the leaders Of the
army 10 surrender, and on their refusal
few OF the deputies nervously and
without any orders, fired upon the men
in the cars.
A few shots were exchanged before
the Marshal could regain control Of his
men and stop the firing. After the tr-
Ing one Of the deputies was seriously
wounded. There was a report that
General Hogan and one Of his army
we're wounded, but the train pulled out
for the east makes it impossible to con-
firm the report Marshal McDermott
decided thai his men
WE'RE NOT EQUAL TO THE WORK
cut out for them and as soon as he got
his men to stop firing he withdrew
them and notified the authorities that
his force was insufficient for the arrest
ing OF so large mob.
As far as heard till late this afternoon,
the train was still continuing on its way
towards Miles City, where 1t is expected
the national troops will be successful in
stopping the train, regaining possession
OF the property and placing it In the
hands OF the court.

ooxEY DEPREoATEs VIOLENCE
While Browne Arms His Men With Four
Foot Oak Clubs.

FREDERICK, Md, April 25.-Ihls
evening Browne and Co1ey were shown
dispatch by an Associated Press cor
respondent saying that a COLLISION
between the Butte City Indus
trials at Billings, Montana, had occurr-
ed with the loss of aman on each side'
Neither Browne nor Coxey seemed much
surprised at the news, and neither ex-
pressed himself at all troubled over tie
moral effect the affair would have on
the industrial movement. CoXey SAID
"Oi course, deprecate violence o.
any sort in this movement. but IL is
hard to draw the line in saying how IA.
man may 60 in the pursuit OF his own
rights. But whatever trouble there 10
in this affair, the mOnopolies have
brought il on themselves.
The railroads, l tell you, are only
fastening their own doom by the stand
they are taking in this matter. They
will be absorbed by the government; aa
private parties they will cease to ex-
ist."
Browne showed plainly that the like
lihood of violence and bloodshed mad
presented itself to him long ago and be
had taken his own precautions in keep
ing clear OF it himself. Said he: Eyes
il comes, but it won't make any differ
ence to the movement, except to
arouse and indame the people all over
the country to the support OF the work
ingmen. OF course, when man goes
10 breaking the law he's got to look ouG
for himself, that's the reason l would
not issue them western fellows any
badges when they were organizing.
"They was not under our command
or discipline, and we could net DO re-
sponsible for them"
The latest move OF Carl Browne has
been to furnish all the commonwealers
with formidable clubs. These are os-
tensibly flag stats, and were suggested
by the appearance Of the Fred
erick county deputies, Browne saying In
a jocular way that he was going TO fur
nish each of his men a flag of truce to
show the Deaceable intention OF the
army. To-day the flags arrived. They
were half the size OF small pocket
handkerchief, but the sticks were of oak
four feet long and weighing about a
pound each.
There have been numerous contribn-
tions received by the army since coming
here. The list includes 225 loaves Of
bread, 100 pounds of fish, so pounds of
meat, a keg of pickles and some minor
articles.

KELLEY AND SPEED
Ravs wspt Together aud Kissed aud
Made up.

ATLANTIC, Iowa, April 25.-Compar-
ative peace rejgus in Kelley's camp to-
night. The General, Colonel Baker
and Colonel Speed have wept TO-
getber and sworn eternal aile-
glance to the Industrial banner and the
army, with the exception OF one com
Dany, is again unit. The return OF
the white-winged fowl was brought
about by Rev. j. @. Lemen, the Council
Bluffs minister who was active in arous-
ing sympathy for Kelly in Omaha.
Company SC" before the conference
this afternoon, very nearly precipisated
a riot by charging a San Francisco
crowd that had jeered Speed. Cool
headed sentinelS separated the combat
ants and no blows were struck, but
wordy word was waged oil the evening
between the &c" men and the remain
der OF the army.
Kelly stated tonight TO an Asso-
ciated Press representative that be had
received previous 10 to-day but 81, l4O
Ia cash. and exhibited his books as
proof. He has now in his possession, he
said, a little less than $1,000 and that
he will retain for an emergency.
RECEIPTS for bills for provisions, shoes
and clothing, be produced as account
ing for his expenditures. Colonel Baker,
who had threatened an expose, stated
in public that he had been miSinformed
and that be now knows Kelly has not
appropriated dollar to his own use.
The women Annie HoOton aud Edna
Harper, who aided in the capture OF the
Omaha train, and who were to have
been arrested at Avoca, are still with
the army, making speeches and solicit
ing assistance. They are looked upon
with little favor by the men OF the army,
but have insisted on continuing the
march 10 Washington.
Kelly received word tonight from
Gen. Weaver, the PopuliSt leader, say
ing that the latter was still at work
endeaVoring to secure transportation
from Des Moines, and stating
that the outlook to-day was bright.
Gen. Weaver ADDED that sentiment in
Des Molnes was very favorable TO the
army and that he had little doubt that
q train would be secured TO carry the
men from Des MOines to Washington.

A HORRIBLE DUTY

Awaits the Sheriff at Pittsburg II Mur-
dsrer's Sentence Is Not COMMITTED.
PIrrsBURG, PA, April 25.-The Al
legheny county authorities are much
puzzled over the case Of James Newton
Hill, the murderer whose death war
rant has been signed and the date set
for the execution. Hill shot and killed
Mrs. Annie RoetZler in the Allegheny
parks a year ago, and then attempted
suicide by cutting his throat. The
wound extended almost from ear to ear,
but contrary TO the expectations or
the physicians he lived, although
the cash in his throat never closed. IL
is now claimed that II he is hanged it
will be one of the most horrible specta-
cles in history. DIR. Chessrown, the jail
physician, states that nothing can pre-
vent the carotid arteries from being
torn apart. They will not stretch as
in man VINO is healthy and whose neck
is in good shape. The result will be
that blood will fly all over the jail yard.
Horrible as it is" said he, "this is
looking at the case in the most favora-
ble light. 1t is altogether probable that
If the man be hanged the head will be
torn off completely on account OF the
neck having been cut deeply from ear
to ear"
Efforts are now being made to have
the sentence commuted, as IL is claimed
the condemned cannot live more than
a year. If he cared to commit suicide
he could do so in a few moments by rip
ping open his neck with his finger.
This could not be prevented by the at
tendants. The date set for the eXecu-
tion Is June l4th.

called into the consultation. II was
soon settled that there was not only
warrant, but necessity for executive
action. The property seized was with
in Federal control, and the mob had re-
sisted the mandates OF the Federal
courts. Sections 5297 to 1915 OF the re-
vised statutes authorize the use OF fed
eral troops 20 suppress insurrections,
rebellions and conspiracies, which pre-
vent the enforcement, By judicial pro-
cess or civil proceedings, OF the laws OF
the United States.
There was no ground for the inter
ference OF the Governor or State aO-
thorities OF the State OF Montana, for
the matter at issue was an ottense
against the federal laws and violation
OF the orders of a federal court. 30
there was no recourse but 20 the Presl-
dent and no course open TO him save 10
maintain the law, aud, the usual civil
process having failed through the Mar
shaps inability 20 control the situation,
20 direct the United States troops TO en-
force that process. he therefore issued
orders 20 Colonel SWsyne 70 intercept

20 DO Made To-Day.
ST. PAUL, MINI, april 25.-Early
to-day orders were sent out TO the army
posts stationed near, or on the line OF,
the Northern Pacific road, and troops
have been in readiness for moving or
dsrs at Fort Smelling, near this city,
az Fort Yates, near Bismarck, aad at
Fort Keogh, near Miles City, the last
named post being right on the line OF
the road.
At Fort Eeogh Colonel Page is in
charge with halr dozen companies OF
cavalry, one HOtcbsiSs and one GstIing
battery and a force numbering 500 as
hardy troops as are 10 be found In the
United States service. AT Fort keOgh
the garrison are in readiness for the en-
emy, although it is not thought they
will reach there before morning.
The men have shown q fear Of night
running since their first night, and are
expected 20 =" into camp for the night
at some poi~t between Billings aud
Keogh. They have sn idea that the
company Will OlOck the track by throw
ing mass Oh art across 10 or In some
similar way preventing their further
progress. The Northern Pacific oper-
ators along the line are keeping the
company advised Of the position Of the
train and the troops will bein readiness.
After their capture it is probable that
the Coxeyites Will be returned TO Butte
under military escort The only way
the army could escape, apparently, is
by leaving their train and starting on
foot across the country.

CHICAGO, April 25.-Col. W. P. Rend
to-day sent the following telegram to
the Pittsburg Dispatch in answer to in
quiries:
II lind there IS no immediate pros
pect OF a conference between mine own
ers and miners. Many OF the largest
operators in the Pittsburg district say
thev will grant no advance whatever,
while many others refuse to meet except
on positive assurance before hand
from miners officials that no
rate shall be established except
one uniform for their entire field in
western Pennsylvania. Many leading
Hooking operators do not favor resumD-
tion OF work at any price for six or
eight weeks as they have immense
stocks OF coal stored at Duluth and
other lake ports carried over from last
season. Suspension Of operations will
largely increase the value OF this coal.
They are willing to pay portion Of the
advance asked by the miners when these
stocks will have become exhausted. l
deeply regret that these difficulties and
complications prevent a convention to
settle: by any conciiation and in a
peaceabe way the existing strike"
