OMAHA, June 14.-At 2 30 the special
train crowded with $50 heavily armed
deputies sped out Of the Union depot,
via the Union Pacific, for the scene OF
the trouble with the 'Wealers. The
deputies were armed with revolvers,
shotguns and rides. and thoroughly un-
derstood before that there might be
fighting to be done. Chief Deputy
United States Marshal Coggeehall. who
is acting marshal during the absence of
Marshal White in California, impressed
the men with the necessity OF being
cool and that no violence should be
shown unless it was necessary. Mr..
Coggeshall and Deputy Liddard have
charge OF the deputy marshals. 1t was
said at the Office Of General Manager
Dickinson this morning that the
'Weslers would allow no one near
them. They asserted that they could
take care OF themselves. 1t is believed
that the reason for refusing to allow q
stranger near them was to prevent spies
from associating with them and ascer-
tanning their movements, The men
were unanimous in their declaration
that they would not walk east, and
boldly asserted that they would capture
a train and ride. There has been con-
siderable excitement about Union Pa
cifc headquarters, the government build
ings and army headquarters. Superin-
tendent Nichols and Assistant General
Solicitor Kelly OF the Union Pacific were
clossted with Justice Brewer and Judge
Duudy this afternoon. The entire
subject was thoroughly discussed.
The men in charge are retieent.
but each would acknowledge that be
anticipated trouble, as the Common
wealers were growing restless and deg
perate, and would as soon as possible
make break with q train for the east.
If they give up peacefully there would
be NO difficulty, but il they make re-
distance conflict might ensue.
just what will he done with the men
il captured 10 not definitely known, or at
least il it has been decided upon it has
been kept secret. The probability ia
that the men will be brought to Omaha
and placed in the coliseum until they
could be brought before the United
States court.
Later kilograms from from Julesburg
say the Commonwealers are divided in
two factions. One is composed OF those
inclined to be peaceful and the other OF
desperate men and the men who are
to secure train and come
east at all hazards.
DENVER, June 14.-Herb George,
Coxeyite agitator, today said there were
1000 Commonwealers on their way to
this city. The men are travelling in
squads, most of the large bodies being
on the road. The way in which this
vast army OF men shall be disposed of is
worrying both the city and county OFF,
vferv.
JULEsBURa, Colo, June 1.-THE Cox
eyite army, against whom the United
States marshals were ordered out, are
One hundred will walk to
Venango, Neb., two hundred will at

coming down the river. General Adams
goes with the Venango party.
