NORTH YAKIMA (Wash.), May 1l.-An-
other collision occurred between Deputy
Marshals and Commonwealers about 4
o'clock this morning, and two of the lat
ter are now confined in the hospital suf-
fering from gunshot wounds. Word was
received during the night that twenty
five men had captured two freight cars at
Ellensburg and were coming down to
liberate the Coxeyites imprisoned in the
County Jail. The Marshals marched to
meet the Industrials, and stopped their
cars by means of throwing rail across
the track at a point two miles from this
city. The Industrials scrambled off the
cars and started to run, but were brought
| to halt by bullets from the rifles of the
Marshals. Two OF the men were
wounded, but not seriously. Others. to
| the number of 120, were marched to the
| County Jail and locked up. The Mar
| shals claim that the first shot came from
the Commonwealers.
| Fifty Coxeyites, and a number of Yak
ina citizens accused of melting the army
y
morning train under heavy guard for

Additional arrests are being made to-
night of those charged with inciting the
Industrials to resistance. Among those
arrested are E. II. Libby, editor of the
Yakima Republic: William Mayer, A.
! Carpenter, Charles Little, policeman;
| William Steigler and a farmer named
| Parker. They were taken to Seattle to-
/ night for trial, along with the 120 Coxey-
| ties who were arrested this morning.
| Troop e of the Washington State Cavalry
| has had orders from Governor McGraW

ders, ready to move at any hour. 1t is
supposed their destination is some point

THE SANDERS ARMY.
| TOPEKA, May 1.-THE Sanders Indus
trial train-stealers arrived here at 1:20
/ o'clock this afternoon, in charge of niIed
States Marshal Nicely, having been cap
tured without even sign OF trouble at
Scott City yesterday afternoon. The at
| titude of Governor LeWeiliDg was soon
manifest toward the Wealers. He and
Mrs. Diggs and Secretary of State Os-
| borne and other Populist leaders at once
| held private conference, and at its close
they issued call for mass meeting to
| be held in the public square this evening
Ito discuss the question of the unem-
ployed.o Further than that, the Gov
ernor good -naturedly consented to the
/ request that the army be allowed to camp
| on the Courthouse grounds while in the
city. Marshal Neely interiered with that
for the present by keeping the men
| locked up in the train.
! General Sanders says the Missouri Pa
| cific, in blocking its road to prevent the
progress of his army through Colorado,
! damaged engines and cars to the extent
fully 80, 900. In getting around the least
| of these wrecks he was delayed exactly
thirty minutes, another one an hour, and
! the last one three hours. Some OF the
men are old trackmen, and the army is
plentifully provided with tools. In his
| army are three locomotive engineers, five
tiremen, three telegraphers and one civil
engineer. The others are laborers, and
all are honest and law-abiding.
! Not weapon OF any kind was found
among them by the Deputy Marshals.
| Military discipline has been observed
since the army started, and it has been
kept up since they have become prison
ers. Last night they submitted to San
1 ders' discipline and command in the di-
/ vision of their board and to-day they
strictly complied with his orders on the
train.
Sanders is an electrician by profession
| and is native of Missouri. He is Is
| years old and q natural commander. He
is man also OF some education and good
manners and is quiet and dignified in his
| bearing. While his men have been pro-
vided for by contributions from the pub
| lie, Sanders has paid for his own meals at
| hotels. He says he and his men are
| going to Washington because there is no
| work for them in the West. He hopes
to reach his destination by June 18th.
Marshal Neely's prisoners will have a
q l~ce i
| States Commissioner Waggoner.
Marshal Neeiy has load on his hands
which he is really anxious to drop, and
after the formality OF a hearing the Veal
ers will probably be turned loose for the
people OF Topeka to take care of
sanders and his men look upon their
arrest as beneficent act of Providence to
hasten them on their journey to Wash
ington. Sanders does not believe they
can be punished, and that is why he
counseled his men to fall easy victims tc
Marshal Neely last night Sanders said
complacently last night, just after he and
his men arrived in Topeka: We are
very much obliged to Uncle Sam fol
helping us this far on our journey, pro-
viding us with comfortable cars and
| keeping us from starving"
a large meeting was held at the Court
house this evening, and strong resolu-
tions were adopted demanding the resig-
nation of United States Commissioner e.
j A. Waggoner, as it was believed he eX-
ceeded his authority in accompanying
the Missouri Pacific special train
Speeches were made by j. G. Waters, G.
C. Clemons, Noah Allen and Superin-
tendent of instruction Gaines, and all O.
them denounced Marshal Neely in strong
terms for not taking better care of tht
| prisoners and feeding them better. A
committee consisting of the Mayor ane
others was appointed to call on Marsha
Neely and demand that the prisoners be
! given food, or that the city be allowed tc
provide for them. the men themselves
have not uttered q word of complaint
1 and the food that is now being furnished
by the Marshal is being distributed
through their own commissary depart
| ment.

gon. One hundred and twenty-five were
at La Grande to-day.
