TO STICK TOGETHER.
The Release Of Sanders Men to
Begin Next Monday.
WILL BE LET OUT By THREES

So as to ~scatrers' Them, But They
Insist That They win Hang To-
Eether.
The twenty-five followers of General
J, s. Sanders in his commonweal crusade
who have been confined IN the Shawnee
county Jail for thirty days, win be re-
leased three at a time between next
Monday and August 1st-
The men will not all be released on
the same day as the federal authorities
wish to scatter" them as much as posi-
bic.
The Coxeyites were lodged in jail
June 10Th and their thirty days would
expire tomorrow. The Ii men in the
Douglas county jail at Lawrence will
be released between tomorrow and Sun
day, and the Topeka prisoners, IN blocks
Of three will take their turn next
The men propose to stay together as
much as possible. When they are re-
leased they will try to find temporary
employment in Topeka, and work for a
few weeks until they get enough money
to six up a little" before starting for
Washington. Those who fail to get
work will go to Kansas City, and when a
sufficient number of them get together,
they propose to reorganize and continue
their march to the national capital
General Sanders has taken himself a
wife since the trouble commenced. He
is now located at Springfield, No., and
will not again join the army.
Lieutenant John b. McTghe, who is
the only officer Of Sanders army confined
here, was seen by a JOURNAL reporter
this morning. He was clerk before
going into mine prospecting eight years
ago. and is as intelligent il talking and
good in appearance as the average wage
Garner. bIcTighe said: ave are getting
tired Of our confinement. and we Will be
lad vl,as, n 10 he
men are not discouraged at all, and show
no disposition to falter. We propose to
take up our journey to Washington
where we left off, aud I'll miss my guess
if We don't get there before congress adj
iourns
'sWe viii try to get temporary work
in Topeka, not because we want to stay
here, but to make enough money to Tx
up little. There is a whole lot in APP
pearances. A mans attire has a great
deal Of influence and nobody knows it
better than we do. By being knocked
arodnd as we have IN the last three
months our clothes have of course lost
their newness. There isn't a pair of
creased trousers among US and
our shoes are full of holes
as well as of feet If we
caught enough to start out respectfully
we viii do so, but we will 90 to w ash
ingtOn whether or no. Those who can't
find work VIII go on down to Kansas
City and when a sufficient number have
got together they will reorganize. l
have written to the men confined in the
other county jalls and | expect all of
Sanders original men viii stick together,
although every effort has been made to
separate us."
