internally. Twenty shots were fired In the
melee. Savage. Weaver and McApee. all
Seattle Coxeytes. received flesh wounds
from revolver shots. Buck" pock-
marked SEATTLE Coxeylte. who was the
leader of the crowd, had two fingers
broken with a club. Intense excitement
reigns at Yakima.
The fight was the result of the deter
mination on the part Of the Coxeyites not
to leave train which has been held there
since 10 o'clock this morning. AT 2
o'clock thirteen deputies attempted to
take out the train. Chidester having charge.
The Industrials swarmed over the train and
outnum bered the Marshals. The latter
gave up after two attempts TO oust the
army and steamed back to Yakima, two
miles from the scene of the scuffle, and
side-traeked the train. Ten deputies from
TOppenish respor ded to Chidester's de-
mand for reinforcement and twenty-five
went from Ellensburg.
At this evening the train backed to the
bridge over the Yakima River, a mile
from the town. Half the population fol-
lowed. The Coxeyites boarded the train
to the number of $50. Chidestsr says one
of them attempted to set a brake. A dep
uty ordered him to stop. On his refusing
to stop the deputy pulled him away.
The CoXeyites then began clubbing
the deputy and shooting commenced.
Then the CoXeyites retreated. breaking a
switch and piling rocks on the track, but
afterward removed them. When the fight
began stones were thrown at the engineer
and fireman. attempting to dislodge them.
The train backed into Selah Station
after the fight, where it is now, Surgeon
Hill having gone from Yakima to attend
the wounded. Chdester was secretary of
the Tacoma City Democratic Committee In
me recent campaign. The Industrials in
Yakima have been swearing all day that
they would go out of the city on that
train, fighting for the privilege If neces-
sary. They were much incensed in the
afternoon by a marshal clubbing Coxey-
ite in the first scutfle. They threatened to
lynch him. Some citzsns say that some
OF the COxeyites have been proclaiming
that they had guns and did not propose to
give them up. The Industrials deny this,
and claim the marshals shot themselves.
During the melee this evening several
Industrials were slightly injured by being
thrown from the train. Adjutant Fitting
of Seattle went TO Yakima from Ellens-
burg this evening and demanded food and
shelter for the army. The City Council
granted leave to sleep in the City Hall to-
night. and food will probably be given in
the morning. Some sympathzers cheered
the COxeyites on In their fight.
Marshal Drake left here tonight at II 10
O'clock for the scene. All along the line
the Industrials are in an ugly mood.
Thirty Industrials left Ellensburg to-
night to walk over the mountains to
Wenatchee on the Great Northern. where
they hope to get transpor tation to Spokane
and possibly st. Paul.
1t seems difficult TO determine just who
began the shooting at Yakima. but from
particulars now at hand it appears that the
marshals shot first TO protect their comrade
whom the IndustriaIs were clubbing, be-
cause he had pulled Coxeyite from the
brake. They shot only to wound and
cause the Coxeyites to desist. The in
furiated Industrials who had guns then
apparently pulled them and shot into the
force of marshals, hitting jolly and
ChideSter.
SPOKANE, WASH, May 9.-There was a
sensation in the camp of the Industrials
here to-day. Commander Dolphin tried to
leave the city with the army's funds,
but was caught and detained. He
was last seen at 6 o'clock,
but whether be afterward succeeded
in getting away. or is now a prisoner in
the camp at Hlliard, is unknown. The
Seattle crowd held meeting tonight in
Music Hall, at which Jeffries did most of
the talking. A variety performs ance had
been advertised, but Jeffries announced
that the "talent" was mostly strung along
the road, and the show would be post
p0ned.
