RAwL1Ns, Wyo., May 1.-THE receiv-
or. of the Union Pacific road are taking
steps to put an end to the movements OF
industrials over the lines In their
charge. This end may be peaceabiy
accomplished, but If resistance Is made
it will be met with bullets, and posi-
bilities of serious trouble exist. A body
of $50 men, led by a man named Shef-
fer. has seized a train on the Oregon
Short Line and is moving east. All the
rolling stock has been taken from Mont
pelier and the tanks emptied of water,
and at Cheyenne Judge Riner of the
United States court has granted an In
junction to restrain the men from using
the property of the road and writs for
the arrest of the leaders have been
placed In the hands of the United States
marshal to be used in case the army
comes into Wyoming. Shefiier and his
men managed to pass through Mont
pelier and seemed to be In desperate
mood.
On receipt of this information the
marshal and twelve men LETT Cheyenne
to meet the industrials and carry out
the instructions of the court at all
hazards. In case his force is not large
enough to do the work troops will be
called for from Salt Lake City or
Cheyenne.
Later word was received that the men
had abandoned the stolen train at Coke
Vile, Wyo. 1t is expected that they
will board the first freight train coming
east, in which case Marshal Rankin will
encounter them at Granger junction OF
the Oregon Short Line and Union Pa
ciac. The Coxeyites are not in con,
tempt of court in Oregon and Idaho.

Lexington and Fayette county. includ-
ing several Luadred ladies, turned out
Yesterday to the anti-Rreckinriage
meeting at the opera house. The meet
Ing from the standpoint of morality
was a tremendous success. The opera
house was filled and 500 people turned
away. Profession j. w. McGarvey, an
eminent minister of the Christian
church, was the first speaker, and he
showed Colonel Breckinridge up In no
favorable light. He held that it would
be a disgrace to the district, to the
state and to the country to return such
a man to congress, and closed hts speech
by a strong appealto young men to vote
against him. Other speakers were j.
G. M. Durham, who denied that Brock
inridge was the only man in the district
who can represent it In congress. The
speeches were both well received and
made good impression. Resolutions
were adopted denouncing Breckin-
ridges morals and calling on the people
of the district to rise up in their might
and vote against the silver-topgued per
suader. But when Henry G. Clay got
up and offered a resolution not only de-
nouncing Breceinrldge's morals, but
asking that Senator J. s. Blackburn be
asked to obtain leave of absence from
the senate, and that he come home and
from the rostrum speak against Brock
inridge, the audience went wild.
The cheering was deafening, and II
was plain to any observer that the
Rreckinridge boom, started by the sill
ver-tongued orator himself little more
than week ago, was badly strained, II
not broken.

ties in the west in seizing trains and In
terfering with mails. The attorney
general consulted with the secretary OF
war, and it was decided to adopt the
line of policy pursued last week In deal
ing with these cases. While general
instructions had been sent to military
commanders in the troubled districts to
give all lawful assistance necessary to
the United States courts in depressing
these outrages, it was felt proper TO
send specific instructions today to Cen
eral Otis at Vancouver barracks, and to
General Brooke, commanding the de
partment of the Platte, to take active
steps to hold of marauders in these dis
tricts, acting, of course, as auxiliary to
the United States marshais.

DIR. Talmage held quite reception at

Knowles said: "There seems to be a
popular craze that people may take pos

to Washington, feeding upon the COM
munities through which they pass, who
give them supplies because they want
them to move on and thus dtmp them

seems to have gotten hold of men who

they must not be allowed to seize rail-

gan, w. H. Harrison and Joseph Veg
ner returned tonight from Alexande,
City, where they had been to inspect
the newly discovered gold field. The
three men are all practical miners who
have had years of experience in placer
work. Mr.. Fulligan said:
1.-THE reported discovery of the ia
nous Kies mine is mistake. The
ground at Alexander City contains lit
tie particles of fine gold in the grass
coulees, but no other color was found.
Bed rock WAS reached yesterday on
Alexander's claim and there was no
gold found. The miners are all leaving
and in the next thirty days none will be
left. The excitement was first started
by the working of twenty-one claims
secretly by Glasgow parties who were
greatly excited over finding gold In the
grass roots, and this excitement was
increased by reports sent out from par
ties a. Glasgow who had no knowledge
of mining whatever.
1.-THE old cabin found was probably
left there years ago by buffalo hunters,
and the mining tools found were relics
of early prospectors. The country
round about Alexander City has beer
thoroughly rrospected. No ground hal
yet been discovered in that section thai
will pay to work, and the hundred
