Exchange shots.
FoRsYTHE, Mont, April 22-The Mon
tana industrials, now numbering $50 men,
arrived here q few minutes before II p. m.
They were informed that 900 United
States troopers were waiting for them at
Fort Ksogh, forty-three miles east. The
leaders were considerably disconnected
over this announcement, but stated that
they did not propose to turn back or de-
sert the train. Some of the men said the
train would lie here until Daylight, but
there is an impression abroad that this in
formation was given out as Q blind and
that the train will be on its way soon after
midnight.
There is slight prospect, however, of the
train reaching Miles City, two miles east of
Forth Keogh. The Twenty. second infan-
try are on hand and mean business.
Shots Were Exchanged.
BINNas, Mont, April 25.-At about IL
o'clock this morning the city was thrown
into wild excitement by the announcement
that the train stealing contingent of the
Coxey army was rushing into the city on q
Northern Pacific train from the west at q
high rate of speed, closely followed by
train load of United States deputy mar
shals. The statement was verified few
minutes before noon when the train of box
{-k< ~
overtaken by the special train of the mar
shals just as they entered the limits of the
city.
After their arrival 1t was learned that
the msrshsls' train overlook the Hogan
contingent just as they were pulling away
from COLUMBUS and attempted to arrest
the progress of the train bearing the 500
unemployed men. The leaders would not
yield to the demands Of the msrshals to give
up the train and instructed their men to go
ahead, which was done.
The two trains came on during the fore
noon hours until this city was reached,
when stop was ordered and a conflict bs-
tween the two bodies resulted. As near as
can be learned Marshal McDermott ordered
the leader of the men who captured the
train to surrender, and when he refused q
few of the msrshals, before receiving a
command to do so, fred upon the crowd.
Shots were quickly returned by the indus
trial. A number of shots we're exchanged
before Marshal McDermott could regain
control of his men.
During the firing one of the deputies
was seriously wounded, and one of the
men on the rear platform car was shot in
the groin. McDsrmott decided that his
men we're not equal to the odds against
them and ordered his men to desist firing,
which they did. The captured train soon
after pulled out and McDsrmott notified
the authorities that his force was made
quate to capture the 500 men who were
determined to retain possession of the train.
- Frye's Men Capture a Freight.
TKRRE HAUTE, Ind, April 25.-The con.
tingent of Coxey's army under command of
General Frye foroibly took possession of an
eastbound freight train leaving here at s
o'clock this afternoon. The officers claim
to have paid the railroad company for
transportation as far a. Brazil Ind. twenty
miles east of Terre Hsute, but after the
loading of horses, wagons, cooking uten-
ellis and blankets the train pulled ont, lesv-
ing tho industrtsls in this city. They
spent last night near here, using the rail-
road company's fences and ties for fuel
One train WAS de-trscked to prevent the
commonwealers selling 1t.
When the tt aims were started this after
noon the 800 soldiers made a rush for q
freight and captured 1t. The engineer was
told that the industrials had railroad
men In their ranks and that If he refused
to start the train he would be put off and
one of their own men would take the
throttle.
The trainmen were unable to prevent
them riding, as the industrials were deter
L
| suited In bloodshed. Brazil, being in the
heart of the Indian coal district and hun
dreds of miners being now out on q strike
| there may be serious trouble, as the miners
will, on account of being residents, claim
the charity of the city in preference to
the industrials. The members of the army
cay they will continue to burn the COM
panY's fences and ties until their blankets
and cooking outfits are brought back to
them. The army was desperate last night
and detail of police surrounded the
| camp.
General Frye is not with the army, hav-
ing gone on ahead.
