SHOWING A DESIRE TO DESERT.
Men Slip Past the Guard and Board
the Union Pacific for the
East.

OGDEN, Utah, April 10.-All was anx-
ious expectation among the great army oil
unemployed at Ogden this morning. Inc
arrival OF General Kelly, the patron
saint, presiding genius aid general Ill
rector. had been patiently awaited this
last twenty-fOur hours. and when that
gentleman came in he was greeted with
applause and as much enthusiasm as
though be were verltaole Napoleon.
Within a short time after he arrived he
was in consultation with Colonel" Baker
and staff, devisiDg means for solving the
much vexed transportation problem. The
rank and file OF the army were sanguine
that their leaders would battle the authori-
ties and come off triumphant. So far their
expectations have not been realized.
Every effort to compromise with Governor
West was fruitless. He was informed by
the Governor that the army would De load
ed into cars be forced out Of the State
if the railroad company did not promptly
recognize the order of the court.
At a late hour the Southern Pacific
brought up the point that they could not
get men to run the train. All interest now
centers on the pro obable action Of the State
authorities. Governor West is temporarily
handicapped. bnt has not receded from
his position that the army must be moved
within a short time. Decisive action is
looked for tonight All sorts of rumors
are float regarding the intended move
ment OF the army. A great many of the
men have left the army since its arrival,
and it is believed they have made their
way East on Union Pacific trains. 1t is
thought many more will go tonight if they
can quietly escape the guards. Two of the
men attempted to escape this afternoon
and were arrested by the militia and lodged
in jail.
At o'clock tonight the situation re-
mains in sta tn quo. The Industrial Army
has not moved. Governor West has or
dered them into the cars and Superinten-
dent Knapp Of the Southern Pacific has
ordered them not to enter them. Governor
West has received a telegram from Z. P.
Huntington, San Francisco, in which he
says:
I'VE have taken these men East in the
course of business. hoping the condition of
the Industrial Army would be bettered
thereby, as they can't get work here. The
officers of the Southern Pacific Company
cannot certainly move them westward at
less than regular rates, and if anything
less than regular rates are to be charged it
can only be done through negotiations at
this Office"
In reply to this Governor West sent a
long message. going over the whole case
in detail. the position he had taken, which
was upheld by the courts and charging
that the acts of the railroad were illegal
and in violation of the most sacred rights
of the community. The Governors dis
patch concluded as follows: ''The acts
of all those participating in thus inf1icting
our community cannot be too harshly
characterized. l an determined that the
authority Of the Territory shall be main
tained and the decree of its courts en-
forced and the property and lives of its
people protected"
What move will be made next is a mat
ter of conjecture. 10 the meantime It is
believed that if the army, or any part of it.
can escape the military, they will make
their way on foot to some point East and
take chances of some kind of transporta-
tion on the Union Pacific.
AT 10 o'clock tonight the attorneys for
the Territory had Superintendent Knapp
brought into court before Judge Miner to
show cause why his company had failed to
take the Industrial Army back to Callfor-
MIA as ordered by court yesterday and to
have the court order the United States
Marshal to enfore the order at once.
After hearing arguments ths court took the
matter under adylsemeDt till tomorrow
morning. Knapp admitted to the Judge
that he had violated the order of the court
and said he would continue to do so as long
as bis superior officers so instructed.
