AvOCA, Iowa, April 25.-Kelly's in
dustrial army left Nicola at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning diminished in
strength by thirty men and arrived at
Avoca at o'clock as strong as ever.
There was a mutiny, but the men who
withdrew rejoined the army at the
first stop For a time it looked as IL
the beginning of the end had come for
the industrial army But now they
seem to be as united and determined
as ever
,, The reception at Avoca was an EN-.
tirely different affair from that at
Nicola. There was not the enthusiasm,
and the mayor informed Gen, Kelly
and his various captains that the men
must remain where they were camped
during the night with the exec ption of
few of the officers and members OF
the commissary department, who
would be permitted to come into the
business center of the town and make
arrangements for supplies. 1t is ex.
pected that Gen Kelly will order his
army to move not later than o o'clock
in the morning. Atlantic will be the
next stopping place.
The army passed within two and a
half IN lies of the town of Shelby,
where it had been intended to hold a
reception. Forty or fifty residents of
the place walked out to intercept Gen.
Kelly and presented him with hot
luncheon. They also made a few
speeches in the usual vein and babe
him godspeed. This was the only
demonstration of the day

of raiding on the part of the army ex-
listed. 1t is limited that Pottnwattamie
