MANY MISSING.
Ono Hundred and Twenty Men
Leave Kolly's Camp.
GEN. KELLY ISSUES An APPEAL.


ADAIR, Ia, April rs One hundred
and twenty-one sacramento men were
missing yesterday when Kelly massed
his industrial army for the march The
men had asserted that they would
walk no further, and as soon as break
fast was over folded their tents aud
silently prepared to steal rides. They
said they would not rejoin the army at
Stuart but Kelly was confident that
the seductive influence of the commits
sary would bring them back
The march yesterday was begun un.
der discouraging prospects Rain be-
gan falling soon after dawn, and the
wagons that had been expected to
carry the army failed to materialize.
There were scarcely sufficient teams to
haul the baggage and the sick, and
grumbling among the men was loud
and deep. Kelly waited for teams,
and then, discouraged, ordered the
army forward, telling the men to take
the railroad instead of the wagon road
IL they wished. But do not interfere
with the trains" he commanded. "If
you do, you cannot go further with
me"
During the afternoon Gen. Kelly
issued the following appeal to Mayor
u mis-, of Omaha;
10 Mayor Bemis and Citizens OF Omaha:
One more appeal from the Industrial army
We arc entirely surrounded by Pinkerton and
railroad detectives who are sparing no pains
to break our movement Send us supplies by
rail as soon as possible-bread, meat aud coffee
We urge you once more 10 stand by us aud
hope TO make Des Mones some time Sunday
Route lmpeded In every conceivable m inner.
Transportation by wagons must in great part
be paid for O. T. KELLY General
The manifesto of Kelly gave great
expression to the sentiment of the men,
and threats against the Pinkertons are
becoming hourly more numerous
There was no indication OF an attempt
by the Sacramento division to capture
train during the day, the men APP
parently determining to scatter and
trust to bumpers and brake beams
