BUNao MEN WITH THE ARMY.
They Are Making Lots of Money,
Too, 1t Seems.

HYATTsTowN, Md, April 27, 1S94.-The
Commonweal passed an eventful night last
night. The camp in the Greek Bottom
proved cold and, damp and before the night
was far advanced the canvas wall around it
was taken down and the men allowed to
wrap themselves in the canvas. There were
two fights in the course of the night, the
first over 2 frying pan, aud the second
because man had stepped on the foot
of one of the sleepers. In the lat
ter encounter, one of the partici-
pants had his head laid open with one of
Marshal Brownies new flag OF peace slaves
but was not seriously injured. The gang of
confidence men that stayed here last night
found. Hyattstown barren ground. After
fleeing the old farmer, Percy G, Watkins,
they attempted to get another farmer into a
game of three card monte but they were
chased off by some of the newspaper men
before they got their money. AL
though Sheriff Mulican was in town
all the afternoon and interrupted
the men in the midst of shell game in the
Commonweal camp, he did not make any
effort to get them out of town, saying that
he could not make case on them If he ar
rested them. This morning before the con-
Gdence operators left they borrowed team
from Hotelman Thompson, saying that they
would return at night, and would leave their
overcoats and satchels as security. Mr..
Thompson discovered soon after they had
gone that they had taken their coats and
baggage with them, and had not settled
their bills.
He at once set out after them, accom-
panied by Oklahoma Sam, with his gun
strapped on the outside and lariat on his
saddle. There Is chance for lively row
if the bunco men are overtaken, but nothing
has been heard from the pursuers up to 10
AN
Mrs. Parsonss Sentiments Repudiated
CHICAGO, April 81, 1894. The shadow of
Anarchy and the Haymarket tragedy came
over the Commonwealers last night at the
barracs when Lucy E. Parsons, widow of the
executed anarchist sang her incendiary song
of Anarchy to the 1000 followers OF Coxey
in this city, and made one Of her most rabid
harangues. She was given stern rebuke by
Commander Randall, of the army, who did
not intend at the start that Mrs. Parsons
should have spoken. The recruits were
almost silent when the female Anarchist
leader expected cheers. He told his men
that any who endorsed@the sentiments of
Mrs. Parsons should leave the ranks. None
did.
