LOUISVILLE, Ohio, March 27--But
sevent y-two Of Coxey's c0mmonweal-
ers had the coura &c to march away
from Canton yesterday afternoon in
the face of the wintry blast that was
blowing at the time set for the start
The band deserted at that point also
and took much Of the spirit out of the
soldiers The march from Canton to
this place through two inches Of snow
and in temperature 10 degrees
above zero was anything but
a pleasant experience for the
thiulv clad wanderers who had imag-
ined that the entire trip to Washing
ton would be a sort of spring time
frolic. Fifty tramps were picked mp
between Canton and this place, and
when the army went into camp last
night they mum bered 122 men aside
from the officers. The claimed enlist
ments are $50 Much excitement was
created by the announcement that
three Of the tramps had robbed a man
named John Ruegge Of a watch and
