Half mile up the road from Rest
Haven the gang had left their horses
and divided into two parties to search
the hills on each side of the highway
Steve had caught sight of two or three
men moving toward the camp through
the scrub.

His shot was followed by yell which
announced TO the other party that the
fugitiyes had been discovered, and 10
minutes later the camp was surrounded.
Among the enemy was man who had
seen Royal Kenton fall when fired upon,
and it was therefore known that he was
wounded. How far he was disabled,
however, could only be guessed at.
Etevs Brayton was known to be with
him, and Steve was also known to be
fighter. II was therefore decided not to
open fire until other means had been re-
sorted to and failed. Thirty minutes
after the first appearance of the enemy
flag Of truce was shown among the
scrub, and The bearer cautiously ad-
vanced until within hailing distance.
His advance was from the south side,
and both men had him under their eyes.

Five minutes later fire was opened on
the fort from all around the circle, and
the enemy were shouting and cheering
as if victory had already been nearly
won. While most of their bullets flew
clear over the piled up rocks, those
which wore better aimed did no damage
whatever. Not shot was fred IN re-
ply. Kenton's position caused him con
siderable pain, and Steve removed the
prop from his back and laid him down
with tho remark:

Grave Fears as to tho Outcome of the
Next Few Days.
WASHINGTON, April 26--The Populist
senators and representatives in congress
were in caucus last night at the Populist
national headquarters to reach an under-
standing as to the Populist attitude to-
ward the oncoming Coxey army. There
were present Senators Stewart Of Nevada
and Allen Of Nebraska and Representa-
tiyes Pence and Bell of Colorado, Baker
and Harris Of Kansas, Boen of Minnesota
and KEN and MclNeigan of Nebraska
Chairman Taubeneck, of the national
committee, was also there.
The Coxey movement was fully dis
cussed. While there was no Endorsement
of the movement the speakers urged that
it was the legitimate and natural outcome
OF national legislation. Senator Stewart
urged with his usual vlgor that the "gold
anarchists were responsible for the pop
MAR uprising. Grave fears We're expressed
as to the outcome of the next few days. 1t
WAS pointed out that whilS the Coxey
men might be we'll intentioned and harm
less their coming would probably be util-
lied by the thugs, toughs and worst-ele-
ments of Baltimore, Philadelphia and ad-
5acent cities to come here and commit
.lepredations which would be charged to
the Coxeys The caucus learned also
through private information to Populist
headquarters that large bands not yet re-
corded were headed this way One of
these is led by Ralph Beaumont, proni-
neut figure in Populist councils, and is
made up of 300 Oklahomans

BILLINGS, Mont, April 25.-At noon
yesterday the 500 members of Uogan's
army, on their stolen train, arrived In this
city, and close at their heels was a train
bearing fifty deputy marshals, and CON
nict between the deputies and the army
was at once precipitated, which resulted
In one man on each side being severely
wounded. The deputies overlook them at
Columbus, small station, and demanded
their surrender General Hogan paid no
attention to the commands of the depu-
ties to give Up possession of the stolen
train, and ordered his men to go ahead.
The two trains came on slowly during
the forenoon, the deputies closely follow
Ing after the Coxeyites and watching for
an opportunity to seize them and their
train. On arriving in this city stop was
ordered, and the conflict resulted. United
States Marshal McDermott ordered the
leaders of the army to surrender, and on
their refusal a few of the deputies, ncrv-
ously and without any orders, fired upon
the men in the cars. A few shots were
exchanged before the marshal could regain
The shooting occurred on the platform
here. An attempt was made to arrest
General Hogan and Engineer Wiley. Re-
sistance Gas offered and firing begun. The
station platform was crowded with
women, children and men. Charler Hardy,
n peaceful man, was shot through the
head and will die, while several others
were wounded. The army, aided by citi-
xeus of Billings, disarmed the deputies
and drove them out of town. TLen the
army secured a slow "hog" engine and
proceeded slowly on the way to Miles City.
There was report that "Generaln Ho-
gan was himself wounded three times,
but the fact that the train pulled out for
the east made it impossible to confirm that
report here. Marshal McDermott de-
cided that his men were not equal to tho
work cut out for them and as soon as he
got his men To stop firing, he withdrew
them and notified the authorities that his
force was insufficient for the arrasting of
30 large a mob.
Meantime, by order of President Cleve-
land, in response to an urgent call from
Governor Rickarts, of Montana, the troops
at Fort keogh waited for the stolen
train to arrive at that point, when they
were instructed to capture the train and
its occupants. 1t is reported that the train
was captured at Fort keogh by the fed
erHl troops, and the Industrials, who Of
ferud no resistance, were placed under ar
arrest. -..5.5.
