KelIy's Contingent Fare Well in Wy
oming.

CHEYENNE (Wyo.), April 13.-The In
dustrial Army arrived at 8 P. NJ. with
banners flying and the men cheering.
The train was not permitted to stop
within the city limits, but engines were
changed at Collette Station, five miles
west of the city, and the train Of twenty
six cars was afterward run through to
East Cheyenne, where but brlet stop
was made to take on supply of provis-
ions, including 100 loaves of bread and
five beeves, furnished by the city
enough to feed the men until North
Platte, Neb., is reached.
The railroad officials decided to push
the army right through TO Nebraska on
fast freight time, and they will reach
Omaha tomorrow afternoon. Genecal
Kelly and his men expected to go Via
Denver, but the Union Pacific refu5od to
run the train south.
General Kelly said: II had hoped to
call on Governor Waite and thank him
personally for his expression of sympa-
thy. But it is impossible. We must
hurry on to Washington as rapidly as
possible, while we have the opportu-
nifty"
To local railroad, city and county Off
cials and citizens who went out TO visit
the Collette camp, General Kelly said:
plish its purpose. We are respectable
men. We found six tramps among us on
reaching Green River, but they were left
with the local authorities. Every man
OF US has taken personal obligation not
to violate any law of the land, and we are
going direct to Washington to petition
Congress tor deserved relief. California
has kept these men and 10000 more for
over two years, and we believe it is now
n 0 IL
ployment We ask relief for only year
or So when we shall be able to do for our
selves. We do not propose to destroy
property or menace Congressman who do
not listen to us. This Industrial move
ment is separate from Coxey's army in
Ohio. He has nothing to do with this
organization. On reaching Washington
we viii call upon Congressman Pence of
Colorado and Delegate Rawlins of Utah,
to enlist them in our behalf. The best of
discipline prevails. and the men are
sworn to obey their officers"
The train rushed past Cheyenne Sta
ton at passenger speed, not to stop after
leaving East Cheyenne before reaching
sydney, Nebraska.
