REILLY ONCE A BALL PLAYER.
ANITA, IA, April 26.-Kelly's army
reached Anita TODAY and dined after
march Of fourteen miles from Atlantic.
The start was made under less prOpitOus
circumstances than usual. One hun
dred and forty teams had been promised
by the Atlantic committee but not more
than twenty wagons were available.
Kelley delayed his departure for some
time. At last be ordered his column
forward and the army moved out OF the
fair grounds and started over the hiliy
and dusty road on the twenty-One mile
tramp 20 Adair. The men became con-
Vinced at Atlantic that their only
hope for aid from the citizens was
10 following Kelley and many OF
those who yesterday cursed Kelley long
and loud to-day cheer the leader and
swear eternal fidelity to his banner and
the cause. Kelley, who, since his army
has developed q choice selection Of
former professions aud vOcations, In
creased his list to-day when his brother
in-law stated that the leader was once a
professional ball player. He was, his
relative said, player To Western
league for time, and later played ia
the field for st. Louis. Kelley Is en-
deavOring to organize an armv base ball
club TO play the cluoS along the line Of
march.
After the army left Atlantic about
twenty Of the men quit the ranks and
returned 30 town expecting to ride on
the outgoing freight trains. They were
found in a bOxcar and clinginG to the
bumpers The authorities promptly put
them under arrest. The men offered no
resistance and quietly went to jail.
Many farmers met the army along the
route and before Adsir was reached
about three hundred aRons were in line
and nearly all the men who followed
the army were given an opportunity 70
ride. Many OF them took short cut
down the railroad tracks and tramped
the entire distance. The army was
quiet and orderly throughout the
march.
The Rock Island officials anticipate
serious trouble with the Industrial
army tomorrow, and tonight the camp
deputies and railroad people are in a
state Of excitement over what is feared
is an approaching crisis. Over one
hundred men OF the Sacramento
division asserted tonight that they
would walk no further and announced
that they had determined to ride and
TO ride a Rock Island train. The Rock
Island wired east and west for addi-
tional men and q good sized force OF
burly railroaders will accompany every
train that moves.
Most OF the men said they would do
nothing without orders from Kelly.
But the Sacramento men were sullen
aud refused 20 answer inquiries, merely
that they would walk no
further. Twenty men were arrested at
Atlantic to-day for boarding a train and
fully $50 scattered themselves along the
line between there and Adair, many OF
them attempting TO steal rides.
