tunity OF witnessing any organized por-
ton of CoXey's army when Gen. Aubrey
entered Saturday evening with his Com
monwealers from Winchester, en- route
TO Washington.
They marched TO the time Of a snare
drum with the stars and stripes at their
head and their camping outfit swung
10 their shoulders. Having been refused
permission TO speak on the streets on
the Indiana side they marched to
Fowlers grove on the Ohio side, just
out Of the corporate limits, where they
are enjoying a day Of rest, rice bread
and bean soup.
AT 3 o. m. today they marched by a
kettle Of bean soup and each received his
portion in a small tin pail This, with
a chunk Of bread, formed the afternoon
meal The men are young and all ap-
pear TO be foreigners and have no con-
ceptiOn OF their mission, except TO see
Grover and have a talk with him, when
all will come right.
They were visited by quite a number
of our people this afternoon through
curiosity. but will gain no accessions
here, where every one who wants work
can find something at which he can
make a better living that the Common
wealers are making.

vans band of Coxeyites arrived in this
city at $50 and was met an Main-st. by
the sheriff and police of the city and es-
corted TO the camping grounds at Stude-
baker park. a meeting of the council
last night resulted in the decision that
the men would be fed and furnished
bedding at the camp ground. One party
donated 100 loaves of bread. Lusher
Bros donated tobacco for the crowd.
Randalls band will reach this place to-
morrow TO camp over Sunday. From
here it will go to Goshen, then via War

vans Commonweal army. numbering
about seventy men, arrived in this city
Saturday afternoon and went into camp
in a grove about one mile west of town.
They were fed by the citizens, the town
ship authorities having refused to fur
nish food. Saturday evening Sullivan
was informed that a horse which a boy
had tried to lead across Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern tressel bridge had
fallen down on the track and could not
be eXtrlcated. Fearing an approch-
ing train. which would undoubtedly
have been wrecked, Sullivan had the OBJ
structiOn removed by his men. The
engineer of the train said that but for
his prompt action the train would have
been thrown from the track and prob
ably into the river, twenty-five feet be-
low. on the strength of this Sullivan
asked the Lake Shore road for trans
pOrtation to Toledo. which had not been
granted up to the time of their de
parture. The army started at 10 o'clock
this morning for Fl. Wayne, the column
being led by the chief marshal and
sheriff This army was formerly part
several days ago and by forced marches
has left Randall behind. Randall will
probably arrive in the city this evening
with 500 men.
