something of a ~novelty-and one which
would perhaps not be appreciated to the
satisfaction of the pilgrims.
MORE TROUBLE.
The Butte Coxeyites. who we're CON
cerned in the stealing of a train at Butte,
some weeks ago, became restless again
yesterday, and created a little diversion,
at the same time becoming objects of
especial interest to the railroad COM
pany, by stealing another train from the
Butte yards. Freight train No. SO was in
the yards preparatory to being taken out,
and it was seized and manned by a mob,
who started east at reckless speed. They
rode down to the junction at Logan I'M
molested, and there struck the main line.
Railroad officials were kept pretty busy
for the time being, and when the train
arrived at Bozeman, at about 9 o'clock
last night, it was stopped and taken in
charge by United States deputy marshals
QU1NN's INTRODUCTORY LETTER
Editor Quinn Of the Butte Miner,
SENDS a sort of editorial letter Of intro
duction down in advance of the fotilla
of Coyexites, and in the Miner of the 5th
inst says:
Now that the Montana Co3eyites have
started down the Missouri river and sent
an agent to Bismarck to solicit rations and
prepare a welcome for them at that point,
the Miner salutes Mayor Leslie of that hos
pitable city, and wishes him pleasant hours
and instructive association with his self-in-
vitcd guests. The active and ubiquitous
mayor will find them socially inclined,
peaceably disposed, fluent conversational
lists and appreciative boarders. We can
also recommend the Bismarckian mayor as
a host of rare accomplishments and copper
riveted democracy, who, if in one of his
pleasant moods when found by the Coxey
agent, will press every farmer in the county
into service and provide a sufficient supply
OF provisions to sink the entire Coxey navy.
However. we would advise the agent to ap-
proach Mayor Leslie cautiously, agree
with him Oh base ball, admit that a new
railroad will be built into Bismarck this
year and maintain absolute silence on the
subject of prohibition.

Coxeyites Arrive.
An advance guard Of the Montana
Coxeyites arrived in the city some time
in the wee sma' hours of this morning.
Their arrival was unheralded, but they
made an appearance on the streets this
morning, and, in a leisurely way, took in
the town. Neither in number or ap-
pearance are they particularly formidable
for there are but about six of them in
all, zach adorned with a badge, denoting
his membership IN the great and only
industrial army. From their actions
and appearance, they are here on a re-
cruiting expedition, and to pave the way
for the rest of the army, when it shall ar
rive. Whether they expect to recruit an
army in Bismarck is a matter of con-
lecture, but it is probable, if it be the
case, that they will meet with disap-
pointment.
These particular Coxeyites seem
troubled with a desire to speak in public
and hold u sort of Coxey revival meeting
in the city. It seems a popularity of
Coxey that he is fond of relating his
grievances to the public, and these are
no exceptions. They held an interview
with Chief of Police McGillis this morn
ing in relation to the matter of making
open air addresses, but we're advised not
to begin upon the conversion of the
masses to Coxeyism-at least by these
means. It is reported, however, that
they were disposed not to take this ad-
vice in good part, and expressed an
intention to hold meetings, notwith-
standing.
So far, they haze behaved themselves,
and made no effort to create any kexcite-
ment or hold any open air concerts, and
should they continue in this course, they
will be treated with that same hospital
lty with which every other person of
good behavior is received. But it is not
probable that they will he allowed to
make any open air demonstrations, as
Coxeyism is not IN favor in the city, and
the authorities feel that it is advisable to
prevent any demonstration on the start
and establish a precedent for the guild
ance of any bodies who may in future
visit the city. It is felt that 10 good
can result from any euch gatherings as
proposed, and their complete omission
will be for the best interests of all con-
cerned.
Another delegation of Coxey's Mon
tana army arrived in the city Saturday
night. There were about fifty of them
in all, and with the number already
here, increased the number in the city
to about seventy-five. The last division
to arrive, camped on the flats this side
of Mandan all day Saturday, and as soon
as night came, passed the guards on the
bridge, walked across, and marched into
the city by twos abreast. They went
into camp at once. in the vicinity Of the
stockyards, and made preparations for
