the stopping of their trains by these
armies of men, and will take decisive
action should any further delays occur.
It is said there are several thousand men
east bound, over the road, and if this is
a fact, only the first delegation Of them
has been seen here, and others will ar
rive later, unless stopped west Of here.
From Thursdays Daily
Still Rather Quiet.
Ryan, of the Coxeyites who led
the band which stole the hand car from
the bridge night before last, is still in
the city. He is here for the principal
reason that he could not get away, if
offered transportation by the road. He
was arraigned yesterday afternoon on the
charge Of grand larceny, and, as he was
n of the men on the car who was
caught in the act, no defense was at
tempted. Ryan plead guilty, and was
bound over in bonds of $500, to await
his trial.
Ten deputy marshals from among the
residents Of the city were sworn in yes
terday afternoon, and have begun upon
their duties. Two forces are on guard
at the bridge, n by night, and one by
day. They have orders to allow no one
to Cross, except a known employee of the
company, or persons bearing permits
signed by the superintendent of the d.
vision. This is to prevent the crossing
Of bands of Coxeyites from the west. It
is said, however, that they are building
fat boats on the Mandan side Of the
river, and will cross in this way. If this
be done, there will probably be more Of
them in thecity as soon as their plans are
perfected.
At present there are few in the city.
Those who managed to get away on the
train yesterday afternoon, we're put off
the train a few miles out of town, and
they came back to the city. Last night
at about II o'clock, forty Of them we're
in the yards, awaiting the departure of
an extra east. Their leader was present,
and he cautioned them to make the train,
as they had already been here long
enough. The men made the train when
it pulled out, but their ride was of short
duration, for the train was stopped about
a mile east, and all of them we're put off,
and took to the prairies from both sides
of the track. They will probably wander
back in the course of the day.
So far, things are about in statu quo.
Col. Miller and deputies returned from
the east last night, and were in the city
this morning. Two Coxeyites we're
brought back with them, one of them
having been injured somewhat, and the
men were turned over to the authorities.
United States Marshal J.. E. Cronan
came in from the east this morning, and
will remain in the city for a day or so to
keep an eye on affairs. A number of
deputy marshals went down the line
this afternoon, to protect trains, and a
number Of them are still here, At Camp
Coxey this morning, there were only
about fifteen Coxeyites, the remainder
of them being scattered along the road
between here and Jamestown. Steele is
said to have quite a delegation of them,
and the advance guards have reached
Jamestown, where the leaders are to
speak at the opera house.
A sign displayed at Camp Coxey here
admonishes all members of the army to
get out Of town, and nov on east with
a delay of not more than twenty-four
hours. This is signed by Gen. Jeffries
of the army, who tells his followers that
they must consider the fact that there
are 500 men behind them, who will have
to eat and sleep along the line, and for
whom preparations must be made. For
this reason, he says, delay on the part Of
advance guards will not be tolerated, and
they must not tarry any longer in Bis
marck.
THIS AFTERNOON.
Train No. 2 went through on time this
afternoon, and there we're no attempts
to board it. Marshal Cronan was called
east, and went down on the train to
Fargo. He will return Saturday morn
ing. There has been no disturbance in
the city, and everything is quiet.
The Boys Get the Badge.
Bismarck fremen may have the earth
and the fullness thereof, with a slice of
whichever planet they choose-from
Bismarck. They have met the enemy,
and, in that classic expression which
has become famous, "the enemy belong
to them" The association race has been
run, and the boys have walked away
with the association gold medal, which
they will keep for another year.
There was some confusion OF time, in
dispatches received by the TRIBUNE yes,
terday, that Of the hook and ladder race
being confounded with that Of the as
sociation race. This latter was made by
the Bismarck team in % flat, and by the
