OGDEN, April 1.-THE action Of the
court in the Industrial army case was
Glow today, and every body was in sus-
pence awaiting the final decision. In
the telegraphic corresp pondence kept up
Tor the past two days between the
Southern Pacific officials here and in San
Francisco it WAS plain the railroad COM
pAny was only spsrring for more time.
The long argument of the attorneys
before Judge Miner consumed most of
tbe forenoon. The final decision OF the
court was the modifying of the order SO
as to justify the territory officials to use
force ia putting the army out OF the
territory, provided it had not moved by
10 O'Clock tomorrow. The decision was
a complete vindication of the position
taken by the territorial officials, and
Marshal Brigham and his deputies were
instructed to enforce the order OF the
court. 1t is believed by the most con-
servative men OF all classes that there
was but one course for the court to
pursue, and that was the one clearly
marked out by the ruling this afternoon.
The Southern Pacific officials now say
they will bow to the decision OF the
court.
JUDGE MINERS DECISION.
In rendering bis verbal decision,
Judge Miner said: This lie one OF the
most difficult questions have ever been
called upon to meet. There is but little
authority directly in point. if any.
WAS governed by the general principles
that may be applicable to this class of
Cases. There are no precedente. The
court is obliged to travel over a road
that has never been travelled before to
my knowledge.
II would gladly have left this matter
for some other court, but the position
| hold ie such that when called upon the
court ie bound to act. Had l consulted
my own Individual private feelings con-
corning it. and influenced by those views
of law that seemed to be applicable and
necessary, it might have made little
difference. But dou btful aa this quee-
ton has been, can solve it, in the light
J OF advice | have had, only IN the way l
have indicated. l trust in the execution
of the order that ali parties will en-
desvor to keep the peace in every way
possible; that no injury may resnlt on
account of it; that is. il the orders are
not complied with before, | trust the
marshal in the execution of the order
will use extraordinary caution and care
that no injury is DONE"
OGDEN EVACUATED.
At o'clock the army prepared to
abandon it's camping grounds on the
Weber river. There was but little TO do
in the way of packing up.
A large number of blankets and cloth
ing have been donated by the citizens
and the army will carry PROVISIONS
enough to last several DAYS.
AT O'Clock this afternoon Mayor
Brough went to the Industrial camp and
made arrangements for them to march.
The army marched up town and halted
in front OF the court room. The court
took recess and Kelly addressed the
army. At the close of his remarks
three cheers were given for Ogden and
army marched east. escorted by de-
tachment OF Utah cavalry which will ac-
company them to the Wyoming line.
The army will camp tonight at Uintah,
eight miles east OF Ogden.
WILL NOT WALK FAR.
No one has any idea that the Indus-
trial army will walk very far. 1t is said
that there is some understanding that
train will be found on the line not
great distance from Uintah which the
army will board and ride to Denver
where they expect to be received with
open arms by Governor Waite. Inspec-
tor General raslock, who went out with
the army IN command of the escort has
just returned to the city and says the
army has gone into camp for the night
four miles east OF the city.
1t is estimated that the expense
cauaed BY the Industrial army being
here will run up to the total of $4,000,
which, under the decision of Judge
Miner, it is held can Go collected from
the Southern Pacific Railroad company.
BUNTINGToN's LIBERALITY.
Governor West received the following
telegram today from G. P. Huntington,
you have been misinformed, as l am
quite sure neither police nor officers in
California loaded men into the cars.
We were asked to haul the men free and
refused. but agreed to give them re-
duced rates as many of them were de-
srous OF reaching their homes in the
east. We believe after careful consid-
eratlon your people Will do What they
can to help them to their Destination.

humanity We should help them on their
way. Our company can do nothing as

business, but personally viii contrib
