SEVERAL INDUsTRIALs DROWN.

BARsTow, Cal, June IA bout mid
night FIRE ght train "a was stopped TWO
miles this side Of MOjave by some twenty
five 'Weaiers who took possession of the
train and with their engineer ran through
to this station. Brakeman Dauchy man
aged to elude the guards and made bis way
back to Mojsye and notified the officials.
All the engines here were run out on the
line before the train bearing the Common
weaIers arrived. When their engine came
in it was gotten possession of by the yard
force and went out Of reach. This left the
'Wealers without motive power and they
were obliged to 90 into camp where they
now are. They appear to be well behaved
and fully organized, though no one will
admit being leader They express perfect
confidence in their ability TO 90 East by
the Atlantic and Pacific.
SAN BERNARDINo, June T. United
States Marshal COvarTubias and twenty
five deputies have just arrived in this city
on a special train, bound for Barstow,
where they will arrest 80 Common wealers,
who seized a train of the Atlantic and Pa
citc, and are now at that point in camp
The Marshal will be Reinforced here by
Deputy Marshal Faris ana twenty men
armed with rifles. The CommOnwealers
are charged with interfering with the re-
ceiver of the United States court Mar
shall Covarrubias has his Instructions to
bring them to this city, where they will be
tried and punished for contempt. The
deputies are armed with Winchesters, and
will use them if the lnduStrials show any
resistance.
Los ANGELES, June 7.-Barker'S army
of indus trials, estimated at from 80 90
400 men, arrived in Barstow this morning
on a train they had stolen in Mojaye
Daputy Sheriff BROKER and Twenty-Five
deputies went to Lancaster last night to
warn the men not to come into Los An
geles County, and TO arrest them if they
failed to comply with the order.
The train stolen was a passenger train.
When the train arrived in Barstow
Yadmaster Tom Prindiville Of the Santa
Fe 8neaked behind the tender of the en-
CINE and uncOupled it and went off with
the engine far enough so that the Indus
trials could not get it again.
The Industrials went into camp in
Barstow. This morning United States
Marshal COvarruUias and fifty deputies
left on a special train for Barstow. The
United States Marshal has warrant for
the arrest of the Iadustrials on a charge of
seiZing property in the hands of receiver
appointed by the Federal court.
The train bearing United States Marshal
COvarru bias and posse arrived at Barstow
at 3 80 P. N. The Commonwealers were
found in camp waiting for something to
come along, preferably a freight train
bound East
Passenger trains that carry mails were
not 20 their liking, and this particular
train had more than they bargalned for.
When Marshal Covarrubias hove In sight
with his deputies, the Commonwealers
gave up. The whole army surrendered
without resistance.
The first thing TO do with the prisoners
was to feed them. When this was done
the officers and the arrested train-stealers,
properly placed in the six coaches to pre-
vent escape. started at o'clock tonight
for Los Angeles, where it was expected
the party would arrive about o'clock to-
morrow morning.
What will be done with the men here
nobody knows. AS they have run afoul
of the United States laws by tampering
with property in the hands of receivers
acting for a Federal court, they will not be
tried before any sympathetic Justice of
the Peace.
In their case it will probably simply be
question of guilt or innocence, and tie
penalty will follow. While many
people will regret that it was necessary
to bring the men back to Los Angeles
after they had so fair start for the East,
II will be an opportunity to determine how
a United States court will deal with such
lawlessness and make an example which
may discourage further similar acts.
BRIGHTON, Colo, June 7.-Seven boats
of the COxey fleet which left Denver were
upset to-day, and several lives were lost.

of their boats upsetiug. It's though: that
about twenty are drowned. Dead bodies
can be seen on sand bars and lodged in
trees, but cannot be recovered.
CAIRO, H., June Kelly this morning
broke up his boats. The man on whose
farm be is camped has ordered him to
vacate at. 6 o'clock tomorrow morning
He compromised by giving him the lum-
Der from his boats for permission to stav
day longer. His time will be out in the
evening, and speculation is rife as to what
his next move will be. His army is in
need of rations and many are reported
sick. He has no tents and no transpor:a
ton, and each hour makes the situation
more critical The quarantine against
linn is very strict and no one from his
army is allowed to enter Cairo

monwealers, comprising Poles, Bohemians
and Austrians, started from here TODAY
for Washington. The aggregation is COM
manded by Joseph Ry6akoswski, who
