CHASING COXEYITES.
Armed Deputies Sent After the
Train-StealerS.
Denver Alarmed Over the Prospect
OF an Invasion by the In
duStrialS.

OMAHA, June 14.-At 2:30 o'clock the
special train crowded with $50 heavily
armed deputies sped out OF the Union
depot by way of the Union Pacific for the
scene of trouble with the Wealers. The
deputies were armed with revolvers, shot
guns and rifles and thoroughly understood
before leaving that there might be some
fighting 10 be done. Chief Deputy United
States Marshal Cogges hall, who is acting
Marshal during the absence of Marshal
White in California, impressed the men
with the necessity of being cool aud that
no violence should be shown unless it was
necessary. Coggeshall and Deputy Lid
dard have charge Of the party of deputy
Marshals.
1t was said at the Office of General Man
ager Dickinson this morning that the
Wealers would allow no one near them.
They asserted that they could take care of
themselves. 1t is believed that the reason
for refusing to allow a stranger near them
is to prevent spies from associating with
them and ascertaining their movements.
The men were unanimous in their declara-
tion that they would not walk East. and
boldly asserted that they would capture a
train and ride. There has been considera-
bic excitement about Union Pacific head
quarters, the Government buildings and
army headquarters. Superintendent Mich
OILS and Assistant General Solicitor Kelly
of the Union Pacific were closeted with
Justice Brewer and Judge Dundy this
afternoon. The entire subject was thor
Oughly discussed. The men In charge are
reticent, but each would acknowledge that
he anticipated trouble, as the Common
wealers were growing restless and desper-
ate and would as soon as possible make a
break with q traiu for the East. If they
give up peacefully there would be no diff
Guilty. but if they make a resistance con-
flict might ensue.
Just what will be done with the men if
captured is hot definitely known, or at
least if il has been decided upon it has
been kept secret. The probability is that
the men will be brought to Omaha and
placed in the Coliseum until they could be
brought before the United States court
Later kilograms from Julesburg this
morning say the Commonwealers are d.
vided into two factions. One is com posed
of those inclined to be peaceful and the
other of the desperate men and the men
who are determined to secure a train and
come East at all hazards.
JULEsBURG. Colo, June 14.-The Cox
eyite army against whom the United
States Marshals were ordered out are dis
banding. One hundred will walk to We
mango. Nebr. Two hundred will attempt
to capture the first train through, and the
balance will wait for the feet coming
down the river. General Adams goes with
the Venango party.
HENDERSON. KY, June IA. - Kelly's
army of 1900 men landed just below the
city at noon to-day. Kelly called on
Mayor Johnson and demanded aid, saying
that If 1t was refused he would turn the
entire herd loose. The Mayor told him to
do as he liked. also adding that they would
be controlled by the city authorities.
DENVER. Colo, June 14.-Herb George,
Coxeyite agitstor. to-day said there were
1000 Commonwealers on their way to this
city. The men are travelling in squads,
most of the large bodies being on the road.
The way in which this vast army of men
shall be disposed of is worrying both the
city and county officials.
