KELLY COMING EAST.
His Army Refuses to be Sent Back
to California,
CAPTURED UNION PACIFIC TRAIN.

On This They Are Travelling Toward
Washington, with No Evidence Thus
Far Of Being Interfered with-welI
Provided with Food.
EVANSTON, ,wyo April 13--At midnight
General Kelly's army of the Commonweal,
which had encamped on the plains of
Utah, eight miles out of Ogden, quickly
broke cam p and captured a Union Pacific
freight train made up of box cars EN- route
TO the mines. General Kelly at once as
sumed command of the train full Of foot
sore and weary crusaders. The engineer
and fireman obeyed the orders issued by
the commandant, as they had instructions
TO do so from Superintendent Bancroft, of
the mountain division, should one of the
trains of his division be captured by the
industrial legion. The capture was totally
unexpected, although Superintendent
Bancroft had predicted that such move
ment would likely take place on the part
of General Kelly and his henchmen.
The march from Ogden was full Of incl
dent and excitement to the hundreds of
/ men who composed the army. There were
! plenty of stragglers, men weak from want
| of food, men with rheumatism, pneumO-
| mia and the countless ailments that follow
| in the wake of starvation and privation.
! When Utah was reached the army decided
to go into camp for the night, but pickets
were put out, and when a freight train
! came along it was held up in regular bold
| bandit style, the trainmen showing little
| disposition TO question the right of the
men to take charge of the train. Camp
was at once broken, and the men climbed
on board the cars. Several of the most
trusted of Kelly's lieutenants took places
! in the cab of the engine, fearful of treach-
cry on the part of the engineer and fire
man.
The army remained at the depot here
about twenty minutes while engines were
being changed, and then proceeded east
ward They stopped a few miles east OF
town and prepared breakfast. The citi-
zens of this place had baked great guam
titles of bread, intending to feed them
here, but as they had one or two car loads
of provisions with them they would not
wait to partake of the city's hospitality.
There are very many good looking, in
telligent men among them, and they ap
pear to be under excellent discipline. The
American flag foated from the doors OF
many of the cars, and one Of their ban
ners bore the picture of Chinaman with
and the words, "Melican man must go'
AS the train pulled out one lone musi
clan among them played on the buglC
"Marching Through Georgia" The army
ought to reach Cheyenne tonight, barring
mishaps and the side tracking of tn,
train, which will undoubtedly be at
tempted on the part of the railroad com
pany.
Governor Osborne says no effort will b.
made by the state authorities of Wyom
ing to interfere with the industrial arm.
while it does not violate any law. TIL
/ train bearing the army will not stol
within the limits of any town, and provi
sions contributed will be sent to the sid
ings between stations 1t is undecide
whether to send the army when leavin
Cheyenne east through Nebraska or sout
through Colorado.
The Omaha board of health has mad
arrangements to quarantine Genera
Kelly's army outside the city and vacc
nate every man. Several cases of small
pox have been brought to Omaha b
tramps, in the last few days
