TWO TRAINS TAKEN.
Coxeyites and Hoboes Continue
Their Raids on the Rail.
Engine Ditched in the Effort 10 Stop
Colorado 'WeaIers.
Tramps In Ohio Drive or Trainmen
with Clubs and Revolvers.


PUEBLO. Col, May 9.-While n Rio
Grande railroad engine was taking coal
last evening it was suddenly surrounded
by fifteen of the CoXeyites under Gen.
Sanders, who came in Saturday. They
ran the locomotive down to the Mis-
souri, Pacific yards and attached II to
six coal cars. The whole band boarded
the cars and started east at a lively
gait. Four miles out they me: an
engine. and the engineer OF the latter
reversed and is keeping ahead of the
1ndustrials.
The latter stopped their train at
Boone, and took coal and water. The
engines passed Nespesta going fifty
miles an hour. The Superintendent had
an engine and car overturned in a cut
at Olney in order to stop the Indus
trials at that point. The seizure pre-
vented the movement of United States
malls.
The Industrials succeeded in getting
around the obstruction, however, and re-
sumed their journey eastward about $50
A; NJ. Supt. Derby ordered four engines
which had been awaiting developments
at Arlington, seventy-five meles from here
to go East as rapidly as possible. He also
ordered another locomotive to be ditched
near Haswell. which Is beyond Ariing-
ton. Not n train except the stolen one
is now running on the Missouri Pacific
in Colorado
The tank at Ordway, ten miles be-
yond Olney, has been emptied. and water
for the locomotive can be secured only
from wells. 1t is thought likely that
the engine will run dry before the new
obstruction is reached. 1t will be al
most impossible to pursue the army
from this direction, as to hold their
tracks around the ditch they have taken
up 100 feet of rails.
United States Marshal Jones, in Den
yer, has been advised OF the interfer-
ence with the movement OF the mails
and counsel for the Missouri Pacific in
Denver has been instructed to apply to
the Federal Court for an injunction to
prevent further Interference by Sanders

again. The trainmen notified the Lock :
land. police and stopped the train just
outside that town.
The police were about to attack when
the tramps began to braniish revolvers
and clubs. The terrified passengers per-
suaded the police to make no attempt to
drive off the tramps, and the train pro-
ceeded on Its way with the unmolested
