Some of the Men Declare That Unless

They VIII Raid Farm Houses
Many Tramps Join the Army.

Canton, Ohio, March 2G.-In the face
of sharp, cold wind that brought shiv-
ers to the frames of we'll clad people,
CoSeys army marched eight miles today
on the road to Washington. There we're
a few less than hundred of them. Not
to exceed dozen had overcoats or
gloves They had slept last night on
pallets of straw in the airy and cheer
less circus tent, and they were greeted
this morning by the disagreeable discov-
cry that no detailed arrangements had
been made for feeding them. Several
hundred persons watched their departure
from Mass;llion. About 5000 persons
assembled at the temporary camp ut
Reedurban, and a host greeted the cru
saders at Canton. A heavy snow storm
set in before the details of the camp had
been completed, and the trampers are
huddled around roaring camp fires.
About two-thirds of the men enlisted
made the trip. COxey has buried his
disappointment over the non-app earance
of the myriad he expected, and is Xult-
ant over the handful who reported for
business.
Canton, Ohio, March 27-Coxey's army.
after remaining here for one night and
almost until noon, again Started on the
maIch toward Washington. AT q o'clock

veritable Valley Forge. Small groups
of men could be seen shivering in every
limb, trying to obtain shelter from the
freezing blasts which came from the

started with the army had taken lodgings
in the city prison, but at sn early hour
they began to gather at the grounds to
get their rations. Some difficulty was
expo rienced in getting men who could use
the cooking utensils to advantage, but
finally at the east side of the tent gasO-
line stoves were set up and the morning
meal commenced. The donation, which
consisted of one dozen boiled hams, 200
loaves of bread, five bushels of potatoes,
baked beans and an abundance of other
eatables, were soon utilized, and every
body was thoroughly satisfied as far as
the stomach was concerned. Fortunately,
the abundance of supplies prevented the
tramps from getting into any alterations
over how the stuff should be divided, and
for the first night out everything passed
off harmoniously and the prospects seem
f1attering to the men, notwithstanding the
cold weather Many of the men were
heard to grumble about Coxey taking
lodgings at the best hotel in the city, and
were of the opinion that he should take
a dose of their own medicine. Several
were interviewed at the city prison last
evening as to what they intended to do
in case provisions were not furnished en-
route, and each and every one of them
said they would make raid upon the
farm houses. Stark Siding, one mile
east of this city, favorable rendezvous
for tramps, added a new squad number
ing sabout fifty, to the army this morning
