, army The Gazette says:
The 'army" paraded the streets
several times yesterday ard held
meetings that were addressed by
"Geml." Houbert anu Lieut." "
White They were headed by a
drum and carried til ~tars "5+d
stripes, and a transparency bearing
on one side First Regiment of Reno
of the Industrial Army" and on the
other "We demand the free coinage
of silver" In conformity with a re
quest from the Citizens Meeting,
Sheriff Caughiin last evening about
8 o'clock called up Houbert and
! White. the leaders of the organiza-
ton and read them the resolutions
adopted at the citizens meeting and
at the same time Informed them that
| If they were here tomorrow (today) |
at II o'clock they would be arrested
for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, the leaders having taken up
collection i'll town with the under
standing that they, with the Army"
would leave town Saturday night.
Houbert and White told the Sheriff
that they would not be here at II
o'clock today, but refused to disband
the organization. According to
promise Houbert left town on the
eastward bound passenger last night,
and was followed by White this
morning, each provided with ticket
for Wadsworth where they say they
will awrit the arrival Of the main
body of TROOPS" composing the
Reno contingent. When the east
ward bound passenger pulled into
this station last night at 9:25 quite !
crowd assembled at the depot, pre-
sumably with the intention of board
ing the train when it pulled out, h
a little strategy on the PR: Cd. '.,.-
railroad company fooled the ii.
When the time for the departure of r
the train arrived it was backed to {
the western edge Of town, then '
started east and ran through town at a
a speed not far from fifty miles an
hour, which made it impossible for t
any one to get ON or off the fast NOV "
ING train. 4 couple of them had p
taken passage on the brake beams, !;
however, before the tram backed up Il
and were treated to a very dusty
ride through Reno. Five or six of
the men dropped on the scheme and
ran up and boarded the train at the
Second street crossing while she was U
backing up and got out of town. IL
This morning when the second sec n
lion Of this mornings passenger came IL
IN about sixty men boarded the roof &c
IF couple of box cars loaded with
time goods" in the train and re a
used to get off. BY order of Supt. Sc
Whited the two cars were cut out d'
md side tracked below town and the 10
engine backed up aud quickly coupled II
IN to the rest of the train and flew HI
through past the depot at high rate tf
# speed, leaving the men on top of
he two freight cars. No force was al
attempted on the part of the railroad
company or Industrial Army. 1t is
to say what day will
ring forth. el
