Foiled by soldlsrs.

An Industrial army about 600 strong camped
at Troutdale IS miles from Portland, Oregon,
took possession OF the Union Pacific station
and drove out the operator. As soon As the
news reached Portland attorneys for the I'm
ion Pacific secured an Injunction against the
men and the marshal served notice on their
leaders. The sherlfr appealed to Governor
Peunoyer for the militia, but he refused, rs
the situation did not warrant such action.
Government troops arc held In readiness to
enforce the orders Of the court.
THE army at Troutdale took possession Of
q freight train Friday evening despite the
orders of the court, but the engineer cut loose
and left the train at the station.
The Industrial army, numbering about zoo
men, which has been camped at Troutdale,
eight miles east Of Portland, for three days,
captured Union Pacific train at 9:45 Satur-
day morning and started on its journey TO
Washington. They took the engine from a
special train bearing General Manager Dick
inson and . party Of railroad officials. Dis
patches were sent to the court officials and
the United States troops at Walla Walla were
ordered to Intercept the train. This was done
at Arlington where 1872 soldiers under Colonel
Compton and the United States marshal took
the army in charge. The men did not offer
any resistance. The train bearing the indus
trials was run back to Portland. General
Schefier, Quartcrmaster General Brcckin-
ridge aud fifty others were taken to jail and
the remainder were placed under guard of
the regular troops. They are being fed by the
government. The leaders were to be ar
rnlgned for contempt of court.

peated failures in their efforts to secure trans
portation the army started eastward on foot,
passing through Brighton, Lupton and Evans.
They plan TO walk to Cheyenne whero they

state officials at Denver have made attempts
TO hire box cars to carry the army east at .

TheGrayson army spent several days In the
the vicinity of Evans but on Wednesday the
men started In wagons for Fort Morgan, the
necessary funds and teams having been sup
piled by the people.

The army 10 composed of 94 men, eight or
ten having been discharged for begging since
leaving Evans. They are an orderly looking
set of men, one-half Of whom seem to be
skilled mechanics. Perfect discipline has
been maintained. They are loud In their
praise of the citizens of Fort Morgan and the
treatment accorded them. For dinner each
man was accorded half loaf of bread and .
generous hunk Of roast beef, hard boiled

IMPORTANT COLORADO NEWS.
DENVER POLICE BOARD.

II Shuts Mp the Gambling Houses and
InauGurstes Other Reforms.
Tho new fro and police board having At
last been firmly settled in the once that they
had 10 fight for, arc now showing what their
policy 10. Their apparent purpose 10 to clear
the oity Of tho gamblers and to repress the
other evil influences whioh In the past have
been given FREQ rein. All tho gambling
houses have obeyed the orders Of the board
and quit business. Their paraphernalia is
packed up and they arc looking for new
field where no one will molest them.
1t has been thought by the Justly noted
"soapy" Smith and others that the suburb Of
Colfax, Just across tho Platte southwest Of
the city, would prove to be safe refuge, and
several small establishments have opened up
for business there.
There appeared at first to be but little op-
position from tho citizens Of the dead little
town, as they were willing 10 welcome even
the sharp-cawcd tiger in order to experience
little excitement.
Some Of the well-known citizens favored
giving the gamblers encouragement. Com
ing events cast their shadows before by
rise in rents and an air of business Stores
that stood vacant since being built went like
hot cakes. 1t is reported however that some
OF tho citizens who haven't yet been heard
from don't want to welcome the gambling
house and its concomitants into their midst
and will rise up and clean out the invaders
ere long. II they should fail 1t Is said that
the town will be turned into q western Monte
Carlo.
The efforts OF the board to entirely Danish
gaming from the city will be watched with
interest. The board is also invading the
privileges heretofore exercised by the women
Of the street. They have been ordered to
keep out Of sight hereafter and also to move
on the uptown streets. They were At one
time in the remote past confined to Market
street, but for several years have been enlarg
ing their district until they now occupy quar-
ters rs high up as Welton street. Large and
handsome blocks on Lawrence, Arapahoe
and Curtis streets are filed with these women
who neglect no opportunity TO show them
selves on the streets, by day and night to en-
courage men to do evil. The police board
have expressed no intention Of driving these
women from the city and will probably not
attemptit 1t.
As might have been expected the police
| force has boon ''re-organlzed." This term
has come TO mean that the old men were
turned out and new ones putin their places.
A few of the patrolmen may be left on the
force when the final sitting is completed.

Kelly Walks Eastward.

General Kelly became convinced on the
21st that he would not be able to secure trans
portation by rail from Council Bluffs for his
commonwcal army. They therefore decided
to walk eastward, hoping to obtain transpor-
tation whom they reach Des Moines. From
there they expect to 60 to Chicago, where
help awaits them.
When 1t became known that they were
about to start immense quantities Of provIs-
ions were sent to their camp at Weston, and
wagons provided to haul the supplies.
The army, numbering about 1900 men,
broke camp early Sunday morning, and, ac-
companied by the beat Of drums and the
cheers of thousands Of visitors, started on the
long march.
The day was perfect one and rapid time
vas made along tho smooth, well-beatcn
roads. From every farm house flags were fly
ing and ut every crossroads lines of gaily
decorated wagons and carts hailed the COM
ing OF the army. The little town Of Under
wood was reached about noon and n sumptu-
ous repast was served by the enthusiastic vii
layers. When the meal was over and the
impromptu speeches done, the march was
resumed amid the cheering of the crowd that
wns gathered. On every hand the deepest
sympathy for Kelly and his men was ex-
pressed and farmers and townsmcn were
eager to supply the wants Of the common
wealers. Al Nicola they werc cared for at
night.
Kelly showed his abilities ms q commander
Monday. Colonel Baker, who had broken
the rules, was court martinlcd and expelled.
Then three men got into fight and were or
dcrcd by Kelly transferred to another COM
pany. To this their company (C) object
ed, and refused to fall In line. Kelly disband-
ed them but said they might join other conf
panies. They positively refused and left the
army despite the earnest protests Of their
leader, Colonel Spcnd. Before night, the
company weakened and having apologized to
Kelly were received back into the army.
On Wednesday the troubles between Kelly,
Speed and Baker were adjusted and nll was
harmony. A treasurer Is 10 be appointed TO
take charge Of all funds, and Speed and Ba-
ker are restored to their former positions.
Kelly openly dcplored the violent course Of
the Montana army. General Viewer sent
word that he hoped to secure transportation
for the army from Des Moines TO Washing
ton.
Kelly's army experienced great hardships
on the 29th. The 1000 men had made forced
march Of forty miles In order to reach Des
Moines. They were met five miles from the
city by sixty policemen and deputy shcriffs
who told them they must pass on through TO
Dcs Moines TO a deserted stove factory. where
ample food and shelter were provided. This
Kelly fiatly refused to do, saying his men
must be fed before they marched the addi-
tion,l miles The officers were ohdurate, and
tic ! 900 hungry men stood shivering in the
rain from moor, until 4::0 o'clock, hoping for
provisions. At last Kelly consented 10 move,
and the march began. The streets were lined
