OMAHA, June 15.--A special from Big
Spri,ies. Neb., says: Over 100 deputies
from Omaha arrived here this morning
at daylight and added their forces to the
20 men who have been guarding the
trains in this vicinity for several days.
There are over 200 Commonwealers at
this point. They are csmped on the
hills north OF the town. They came
from Julesburg last night during heavy
hail and thunder storm and slept in the
granaries along the tracks. Two hun
bred more followed them, but were COM
PEELED to 60 into camp along the hills
without shelter from the storm.
Trouble occurred sc Paxton, 40 miles
east. Deputy Hubbard OF Lincoln with
a small band was called there to pre-
vent 10 men from taking possession oil
an engine and several box cars. Tony
White, a desperate negro, drew knife
and Hubbard was forced to subdue him
with a revolver. The others at length
submitted to arrest and all we're taken
to North Platte and lodged in Jail.
Julesburg is being rapidly freed OF the
Coxeyites on account OF the arrest and
transportation of 20 of their number,
who were taken to Denver.
Big Springs is now the center OF the
situation. The 'Wealers proposed this
morning that they be allowed to take
possession of train, undergo arrest and
be carried to Omaha as prisoners. Chief
Deputy Cogghall stated that he was not
yet willing to accept such terms, al
though the proposition has met with
favor among the railroad officials. Some
members OF the army are securing wag-
ons to carry them to Grant, the nearest
station on the Burlington and Missouri
River. A secret ballot was held at the
camp, and it is thought that this plan
of campaign will meet with great favor.
1t is more than likely that the latest
contingent of deputies will return to
Omaha tonight or tomorrow on account
of the unwarlike front OF the Common
wealers.
A BATCH CoRRALLED.
OMAHA, June 15.-Two hundred and
forty of General Carter's Commonweal-
