NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, May 11.-An-
other collision occurred between deputy
marshals and Commonweaers about 4
o'clock this morning, and two more of the
latter are now confined in the hospital,
suffering from gunshot wounds.
Word was received during the night that
twenty-five men had captured two freight
cars at Ellensburg and were coming down
to liberste the Coxeytes imprisoned in
the County Jail. The marshals marched
to meet the Industrials and stopped their
car by means of throwing a rail across the
track at a point two miles from the city,
The Industrias scrambled off the cars and
started 10 run, but were brought to halt
by bullets from the rifles of the marshals.
Two of the men were wounded, but not
seriously. The others. to the number of
100, we're marched to the County Jail and
locked up.
The marshals had been instructed not
to fire without orders. put they claim that
the first shot came from the Common
wealers. This Is strongly denied; but two
revolvers were taken from the prisoners
one of which had several chambers empty
and looked as though it had been recently
fired.
Fifty Coxeyites and number Of Yakima
citizens accused of melting the army to
resistance were started on the early morn
ing train under heavy guard for Seattle.
On account Of trouble along the line of the
Northern Pacific to the West the train
was moved over the Union Pacific via
Wallula and Portland.
Additional arrests are being made to-
night of those charged with melting the
Indus.rials to resistance. Among those
arrested are: E. H. Libby. editor of the
Yakima Republic; William Mayer, A.
Carpenter, Charles Little. policeman
William Steigler and a farmer named
Parker. They will be taken to Seattle
tonight for trial with 120 COxeyites who
were arrested this morning. Troop of
the Washington State Cavalry has had
orders from Governor McGraw to hold
itself under marching orders ready to
move at any hour. 1t is supposed its des-
tination Is some point on the Great North
ern line.
SPOKANE. Wash, May H. - Three
hundred Coxeyites surrounded the North
ern Pacific Depot for an hour to-day and
howled themselves hoarse. A special
coach filed with sixty Puget Sound In
dnstrials under arrest had pulled in from
Yakima. and orders had been received
from Judge Hanford to take the prisoners
back to Seattle for trial. The train stood
at the depot for an hour while four pas
senger coaches were being secured. In
the boxcars the men were busy whiting
airholes and outside high board fence
were the leaders, counseling peace to the
men in the cars and uttering incendiary
utterances with the next breath. On the
cars, and guarding the entrance to the
depot were twenty-five deputies with
Winchesters. Jumbo Cantwell alternately
gave orders to the men In the cars and
harangusd the crowd around him. When
the four extra coaches had been coupled
on the train went west at 30-mle rate.

prisoners from the boxcars toIco aches when
he got few miles outside of Spokane.

east OF Yakima, only to take them back to
the west. is mystery.
