Pass Miles City.

In readiness 10 march at moments no
tice. when the expected order is received
to proceed to capture the Northern Pacific
train. now In possession Of the 800 un-
employed men en- route for this place.

be moved before morning. The authori-
ties are being kept fully advised Of the
movements of the train by the Northern
Pacific telegraph operators along the line
The garrison at Fort Keogh consists Of
800 men, with a Gatling battery. Colonel
Page is in command. The probability is
that the leaders will be returned to Butte
under military escort.
While at Livingston the engineer OF the
fugitive train went TO the side-track and
took two empty box-cars. While there
also Hogan got a message that the bluff.

tana Division toOl-car, containing 81 900
worth Of tools. The men pushed the car
off the side-track to the main line, where
the engine caught II and coupled it to
the train. Two more bOX-cars were then
taken from the side-track. The train
started, but on leaving the yards the cast
ing pulled out Of the engine-tank and the
train broke in the middle. The engineer
ran TO the rOuDd-hOuse. left his old en-
ginc. and took the best one on the di-
vision. In the mean time the men enter
I'd the section tOOl-hOuse and took a
large supply Of shoyels and picks.

He Is an old Union Pacific and Montana
Union engineer. and is regarded as one
of the best in the West. he registered

COXEY'S OWN COMMAND.
Armed Now With "Banners OF Peace, l"
which Are Deadly Weapons.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-A special
from Frederick. Md, TO the Post says:
Aside from the excitement in camp this
evening there was another incident that
was worthy of note. as probably covering
one of Brownies deep-laid schemes. He calls
IL issuing banners Of peace" TO the men.
II is likely that the Washington authori-
ties would term II making an armed body

trial American Situation.

General Daniel Macauley, who spent
number of years In Central America ana
probably as we'll understands the true
situation at Bluefields, in the Mosquito re-
servation of Nicaragua, as any other
American, said:
"As I'm the ancient world. all roads led
to Rome. so In Central America all In
ternational difficulties have their MAIN
spring In the Nicaragua canal. England
doesn't want that canal built. unless she
can control IL, as she does the Suez
canal"
How are Americans in Nicaragua re-
ceived and treatedy'
They are welcomed and treated with
the greatest kindness and respect. The
Nlcaraguans have a strong liking and adj
miration for this country. and our citlzens
there are as safe, as regards their liber-
ties. their lives. and their property, as
they are in the United States"

BILLINGS. MONT, April 25.-The first
bloodshed resulting from the clashes be
tween the law and the Industrial army
movement which is now sweeping over
the country in wave of monster pro-
portions. was witnessed here to-day.
About II o'clock this morning this little
city was thrown into wild excitement
10y the announcement that the train-steal-
ing contingent of the COXey army was
rushing into the city on a Northern
Pacific train from the West at a high
rate Of speed closely followed by a train
load of United States deputy marshals
The truth of the statement was verified
a few minutes before noon, when the
train Of box-cars ran into town. The
Coxeyites were overtaken by the special
train with the marshals just as they EN-
tered the limits OF the city.
After their arrival 1t was learned that
the marshals train overlook the Hogan
contingent just as they were pulling away
from Columbus Qormerly known as san
water), and attempted to arrest the pro
gress Of the train bearing the 800 unem-
ployed who are in possession of the train.
The leaders would not yield to the de-
mands Of the marshals to give up the
train. and instructed their men to go
ahead which was done. The two trains
came on during the forenoon hours until
this city was reached. when stop was
ordered. the conflict between the two
bodies resulting.
TWO MEN HURT.
As near as can be learned. Marshal Me
Dermott ordered the leaders of the cap
tured train to surrender, and when they
refused TO do SO. a few of the marshals
before receiving a command TO do so

his men. During the firing one OF the de
puties was seriously wounded ana on
OF the men on the rear PLATFORM ol Cd

not equal to the odds against them. an
ordered his men TO desist hiring, whicl
