very severity injured. He got on at
the Mansfield junction to get of at

Pueblo, Col, May s.-Gen. J. S. Saun-
ders and his army of commonwealers,
who have been encamped on THE Vacant
lot'' here for several days, departed for
Washington tonight in a highly sensa-
tional manner. At 6:3O they seized
switch sengine standing on
the Denver and Rio Grande
track, moved it up to the Missouri Pacific
switch and backed down in ten empty
coal cars standing on Missouri Pacific
SIDE track and started east. A warrant
was sworn out Tor the leaders tonight
and posse of fifty men started for Olney.
where the legion is delayed by an acct
dent on the Missouri Pacific in dumping
an engine and freight car off the track,
TO place them under arrest 1t is be-
Ileved that the commonwealers stopped
their train between here and Rome and
tore up the track to prevent pursuit. A
hand car has been sent ahead of the
posse to prevent accident Attorney
WaldrOn, for the road, will tomorrow
make application for an injunction
in the United States court at Denver
and thus place the road within the iuris-
diction of the United States court. Fears
are entertained that when the posse
reaches Olney there will be bloodshed. as

cannot be overlooked, and we would rec
oIhmend IN the strongest language that
immediate steps be taken to have it va
GATED IN the interests of the public health
bia."
The report was promptly transmitted
10 the commissioners. Gen Coxey will
prooably be ordered to remove the camp
at once.
COXEY TO LEAVE WASHINGTON
Representative Hudson. of Kansas.
VINO was CoXey's council before the
police court, authorizes the statement
mat Gen. CoXey proposes leaving Wash
lngton with his followers as soon as he
secures hearing from one of the
Two houses of congress. An effort is
Delng made to have the committee of the
Senate to whom his good roads bill was
referred, permit him to appear before
tnem and make an argument in support
OF his bill. If the Senate refuses, an eff
Tort will be made to secure a hearing
from one of the House committees
This being accomplished, Gen. Coxey
Will have no further business in
Washington and will leave at once
Mr.. Hudson says that Gen. Coxey has no
affiliation with the other commonweal
forces that are now journeying to Wash
ington. He has had no correspondence
with them, and does not know them or
their purposes.
WON'T VIOLATE THE LAWS.
He will not attempt again to speak
from the steps of the capitol, nor will he
attempt in any way to Contravene the
laws. He insists that his purpose in
coming down to Washington as he did
was not to attract attention to himself but
rather to the good roads measure which
he had prepared, believing that in this
way he could create popular sentiment
for the proposition which would be i'm
possible if it were introduced in congress
in the usual perfunctory manner. If Gen.
Coxey's case in the police court is settled
so that he will be at leisure tomorrow,
hearing will be given to him by the
House committee on labor. Gen Coxey
desires to present his bill to the com
mittee in person and speak upon it. If
the opportunity be not given tomorrow
he will probably be heard by the com
mittee on Thursday.
