fight took place at North Yakima at 1880
this evening between Marshals and In

and jolly of Tacoma were shot, the first
named in the leg and the latter through
the bowels. He is bleeding internally.
Twenty shots were fired in the melee.
Savage, Weaver and McAdee, all Seattle
Coxeyites, received flesh wounds from
revolvers. "Buck," a pockmarked Seattle
Coxevite, who was the leader OF the
crowd, had two fingers broken with
club. Intense excitement reigns at
Yakima.
The fight was the result of the determi-
nation of the Coxeyites not to leave
train which had been held there since 10
o'clock this morning. AT 2 o'clock thir-
teen deputies attempted to take out the
train, Chidester being in charge. The
Industrials swarmed over the train and
outnumbered the Marshals. The latter
gave up after two attempts to GUST the
army, and steamed back to Yakima, two
miles from the scene of the scuffie, and
side-track ed the train. Ten deputies
from Toppenish responded to Chidester's
demands for reinforcements, and twenty
five more went from Ellensburg.
At O'Clock this evening the train
backed to the bridge over the Yakima
River, mile from the town. Half the
population followed. CoXeyites boarded
the train to the number of 150. Chldester

Coxeyites retreated, breaking a switch
and piling rocks on the track, but after
wards removed them. When the fight
was begun stones were thrown at the en-
gineer and fireman, attempting to dis
lodge them.
The train backed into Selah station af-
ter the fight. where it is now. Surgeon
Hill has gone from Yakima to attend the
wounded.
Chidester was Secretary of the Tacoma
City Democratic Committee in the rece 1T
campaign.
The Industrials in Yakima have been
swearing all day that they would go out
of the city on that train-tight for the
privilege if necessary. They were much
incensed in the afternoon by the Marshal
clubbing a Coxeyite in the first scuffle
They threatened to lynch him.
Some citizens say some of the Coxeyites
have been proclaimiug that they had
guns and did not propose to give them
up. The Industrial deny this, and claim
that the Marshals did the shooting. Dur
ing the melee this evening several Indus
trials were slightly injured by being
thrown from the train.
Adutant Fitting of Seattle went to
Yakima from Ellensburg this evening
and demanded food and shelter for the
army. The City Council granted leave to
sleep in the City Hall tonight, and food
will probably be given in the morning.
Some sympathiZers cheered the Coxey-
ties in their fight.
Marshal Drake left here tonight at
11:l0 for the scene.
All along the line the Industrials are in
an ugly mood. Thirty Industrials left
Ellensburg tonight to walk over the
mountains to Wenatchee on the Great
Northern, where they hope to get trans
portation to Spokane, aud possibly st.
Paul.
SANDERS AND HIS STOLEN TRAIN.
PUEBLO, May 9.--At O'Clock the San
ders crowd, with their runaway train,
had reached Chivington, 126 miles east OF
Pueblo. They have gone around three
ditched engines. and nothing has been
done to stop them, though the oditched
engines delayed them three or four hours.
When they come to an obstruction they
tear up the rails behind their train, carry
them forward, build track around the
obstruction and go ahead. The company
has a number of locomotives gathered
along the line east of Sanders for use in
catching the fugitives. All water tanks
are emptied and this ought to prevent
the Cripple Creekers from going far.
