Two Bound Over.
The defense Of the five men who we're
arrested for opposing the marshals at
Dawson, was begun yesterday afternoon
and finished last evening. The defend
ants took the stand in turn, and, al
though two, at least, of them, admitted
having made some remarks at the time
OF the troubles, all OF them swore they
had no positive knowledge that the men
were United States marshals, and that
the remarks they had made were for
the sole purpose of getting the Coxeyites
out of town.
). A. Coulter was one of the first to
be examined. He said he was not in
Dawson on June 18th, and did not see
the deputy marshals who were there on
that date. He had made some remarks
upon the arrival Of the freight on the
10Th, but merely with the object of get
ting the men out Of town, as the citizens
we're afraid of the Coxeyites. Had no
knowledge the men on the cars were
deputy marshals until afterward. After
the fracas at the depot, he had refused
the C%oxeyites advice as to what to do,
and again helped to rescue Deputy
Hooker. His testimony was corrobor-
ated in part by Pettibone, the hotel
keeper.
". H. France, the store keeper, said
he had been at the depot part of the
time, on the occasion of the trouble,
but had taken no part in it, and had
rendered no advice to the Coxeyites.
j. Rhodes, who was arrested yester-
day, said ne also, had been at the depot,
and had seen part of the trouble, but
had said nothing whatever.
Us. Werner, a baker, had been at the
depot a part of the time. He had only
made n remark, and that was to con-
tradict a statement that the citizens of
Dawson had not fed the C~oxeyites.
j. j. Gokey was examined last. Had
made some remarks upon the occasion
of the trouble, but they were not ad-
dressed to the Coxeyites, in the way Of
advice. Had NO positive knowledge the
men on board the cars were deputies.
Had seen some of them a day or so be-.
fore, but not to know them as deputies.
Denied having told the Coxeyites to
take rocks with them, on the cars.
At the close of the case for both sides,
ia. Coulter and j J. Gokey, Of the de.
PENDANTS, were bound over in $4OO
bonds, to the United States grand jury.
The others were discharged.
On No. l this morning, were Deputy
Marshal LOOMS, and the ten Coxeyites
who were concerned in the trouble at
Dawson. The men were handcufed to-
>gether, and taken to the Jail, where they
were incarcerated to await examination.
The men have been positively identi-
fed by Deputy Regan and others. Their
hearing will probably occur tomorrow.
Deputy Mcbride left for Dickinson on
the same train with six deputies to look
after the protection Of interests there.
There are still a number of Coxeyites
along the division, and trouble from
them may occur at any time. Three of
the army were brought in by the dep.
uties who returned from Dickinson last
night. The prisoners could not be kept
from boarding trains, and it was impos-
aible to keep them of, and they were
gathered in and locked up last night.

Nearing the End.
The eight Coxeyites who we're arrested
at Moorhead for participation in the
stealing of a train at Dawson, and who
were brought in from the east yester-
day morning, were arraiened before
Commissioners Hoskins last evening. The
men gave their names as Paul Bresna
han, James Halloran, James Dryer,
VIM. H. Fenton, Edward Smith, Edward
Kane, Bert Hayes and Chas. Hamilton,
and each one was given an opportunity
last night to tell what he knew of the
affair. B%resnahan, who is alleged to be
the leader, and the man who did the
shooting did not seem to have much to
say, and said he wished to communicate
with General Jeffries. Smith was the
man who did the engineering, and he
too was of the same mind. One or fwn
of the others entered a general denial,
and four of them claimed to have been
in Jail at Jamestown at the
time of the stealing Of the
train. The names Of these were taken
by Attorney Camp, and he will com
municate with Sheriff Eddy of James.
town, to learn whether or not this state
ment is true. Allof the men desired an
examination, which will probably be
held the first of the week.
