TACOMA, Wash, May S.-A special to
the News says that several Commonweal-
ers who attempted to board train on the
Northern Pacific at Lester we're shot by
United States Marshals this morning.
Neither the Northern Pacific officials nor
the United States Marshal has heard of
any trouble.
Superintendent McCabe of the Northern
Pacific tonight said "All the Common
weaers are now east of the mountains,
and the bulk of them will be in Cle-eIum
tonight. They were not allowed to go
through the tunnel and walked over the
mountains. There is no trouble at Lester
and there was none there to-day. Trains
are running regularly. The charge that
the employees of the company al Puyallup
assisted the Commonwealers to get away
in boxcar has not been disprOved, but no
employe has been discharged there, as re-
ported, on account OF any connection with
the Commonwealers or the carload OF men
who are said to have been shipped away
secreted in boxcar."
SPOKANE. WASH, May 8.-The Spokane
Industrial Army under the leadership OF
Dolphin is camped at Hilliard waiting for
President Hill to reply to a telegram ask
ing leave to work their passage on the
Great Northern. Dolphin's claim that he
had secured transportation was hoax,
and the men are growing dissatisfied.
Straeglers from Seattle and Tacoma are
dropping into Spokane all the time. and
the leaders say they will all be here in a
few days. The force of deputy sheriffs at
billiard has been reduced to sixteen.
Everything is quiet.
There is no truth in rumors of trouble at
Sprague between the Commonweal Army
and deputy marshals. When stock train
pulled out of there with deputies on to-day
some of them fired shots in the air to
frighten off the men who were trying to
climb aboard. The crowd has left Sprague,
some of them catching freight trains and
others tramping out. Six or seven hun
dred men are strung along between Ellens-
burg and Sprague. The situation is un-
changed, except that the army is growing
constantly from additions from the West.
A number of Industrials have come back
into the city. and if Dolphin does not get
transportation others will break away
soon.
PORTLAND. Or, May 8.-The Portland
Industrial Army is gradually making Its
way eastward in small squads. General
Scheff1sr, with the advance guard, arrived
at Huntington to-day, and the remainder
is scattered along the Union Pacific be-
tween this city and Huntington. About
$50 men are still in this city.
SACRAMENTO. May 8.-There is trouble
in the Industrial ranks. After the per-
Torrance given last night by the Sutter
Fort wing several officers, who carried the
sack. got on tear. They were deposed
this morning. and new officers chosen.
Four of the old officers disappeared with
the money. Among them were Colonel
Carpenter and young man named W. d.
Payne. The decamping officers were cap
tured near Clarksburgh, ten miles down
the river. but no money was found upon
them. Treasurer Loran and Captain Saw
age are also missing. Squads of the army
out hunting for them tonight found them
below the gas works and exchanged shots
with them. They think they have them
surrounded, and will capture them In the
morning. Meanwhile the money. amount
ing to about $500. has disappeared. and
the men have nothing to eat Most of
Barker's army moved this afternoon to
Arcade, seven miles east of the city, where
it is supposed they intend TO capture
train. The remainder will move tonight.
They are considerably broken up and dis
persed.
