defendants being put under $500 bonds

BOUND OvEh.
This afternoon, E. O. Wagar's case
came up again before Commissioner
Hoskins. Strange to say, Wager changed
his story this afternoon, and admitted
having been on the stolen train. He
was bound over for trial in s1,5OO bonds.
Frank Mcmillan desired an examina-
ton, and it was SCI for 2 o'clock to.mor-
row afternoon.
Tom Carrigan, John McCarty, Harry
Gibbons, Tom Scott, John Burke and
M. Cassidy by their counsel M. T.
O'Connor, waived examination. All
were bound over to the United States
court in $500 bonds.
Late this afternoon, word wis received
from Fargo, that all of the others who
were concerned in the stealing of the
train have been captured at that point.
From Thursdays Daily
In Coxey's Camp.
Things are still quite in Camp Coxey,
all along the line. In fact, the greater
amount of business done from now on,
in the handling Of the Industrials, will
be in the courts, as the majority of the
Indicators have been captured. Aside
from those who we're bound over yester-
day, another invoice will be in from the
east in a day or so, for examination. AS
stated last evening, ten Of the men who
were concerned in the taking of the
train at Dawson, were captured yester-
day by Deputy Marshal Loomis with his
associates, Deputies Hurd, O'CoDnor and
Bowles, assisted by Chief Sullivan of
Moorhead. Most of the prisoners we're
positively identified as being among
those at Dawson, when the train was
captured last week. They are absolutely
certain of the identity of the engineer
as being n of the prisoners. In search
ing the prisoners several revolvers and
three switch keys were taken from the
engineer. Among the guns was the one
taken from Steve Regan at Dawson.
It is thought three of the prisoners be-
long to the crowd who fred at the brake
men last night at Garfield. They are
jailed at Moorhead, and several of the
men who we're at Dawson at the time of
the troublej went down on last nights
train, to make the Identification 80 COM
plete a possible. The men will be
brought back to this city, probably to-
morrow, to be examined preliminarily.
Another of the Seattle contingent who
were here several days ago, met with an
accident down at Fargo, and yesterday
morning about 8 o'clock was found
wedged between the timbers of the
Northern Pacific bridge between Fargo
and Moorhead. The man was in a pre-
carious condition, and was on an east
bound freight at an early hour in the
morning, and either fell or was knocked
off the the top of the cars. In falling he
was caught between the timbers Of the
bridge, and lay their some hours before
he was discovered. Two of his fingers
were cut off where he clasped the rail-
road iron to hold on.
Along the line, no particular dis
turbances are reported. Last night,
thirty Of the marshals from the city were
laid of, and about twenty are still on
duty, including those who are on guard
at the bridge. Deputy Hennessy came
back from Dickinson last night, and an
other posse went west this morning.
The case against the five residents of
Dawson, for conspiracy, attracts a con-
siderable amount of interest. District
Attorney Camp came in from James
town this morning, to look after the
prosecution, and a number of witnesses
for the defense came in from Dawson.
The hearing was begun before Court
Commissioner Hoskins at 10 O'Clock.
THE EXAMINATION.
The examination lasted all Of this
morning and is being continued this
afternoon.
Stephen Regan, who was chief of the
squad of deputies a Dawson. testified for
the prosecution, and related the main
facts in the allegations against the de-
PENDANTS. He said that upon the arrival
of the tram at Dawson, the Coxeyites
started to climb on the train. He
warned them off, and told them to 60
back to the rear end of the train, and get
into an empty box car, and they would
be taken out Of town. Further, he said
the defendants had told the Coxeyites
not to go, that the marshals were fooling
them, and wanted to get them into the
car, and side track them. That the
Coxeyites had started to obey his orders,
but upon these remarks, stopped, and,
being further advised by the defendants
to get upon the head end of the train,
obeyed, and finally captured the engine.
Deputy Hooker testified to about the
same things, except that he added that
he had heard some of the defendants ad-
wise the Coxeyites to take rocks with
them, and defend their position on the
head end. He also testified to the final
