CONFLICT WITH OFFICERS.
St. PAULA special train of United
States marshals and deputies o7ertook
the Coxeyites and their stolen train at
Columbus to-day.
When the seventy-fve deputies reached
Columbus and discovered 500 Coxeyites,
who are mostly hardy miners, reckless
of consequences and determined to pro-
ceed, they found their authority as little
regarded as their force was insufficient.
The Northern Pacific officials were ad
vised of the situation and ordered that no
attempt be made to stop the train at
| Columbus.
During the early morning General
Manager Kendrick, of the Northern Pa
cific, WIS closeted with Col. Swaine,
commanding this department of the
United States army and it was decided to
attempt to stop them and seize the men
before reaching Miles City. Fort Keogh
is near that city and the troops of the 22d
infantry have been ordered to seize the
train on it's arrival there.
THEY RODE IN WAGONS.

Coxey's army left here to-day for Fort
Morgan in wagons provided by
sympathizing ranchmen.
THE KILLING COMMENCED.

Marshals attempted to arrest regiment
of Coxey's army near Billings. A fight
ensued and one man on each side was
killed. The deputies are reported to
have been overpowered and disarmed by
the Coxeyites.
KELLY's MEN STILL MUTINOUs.
Atlantic, Iowa. - Temporary peace
reigned in the fair grounds to day whore
the contending factions of Kelly's army
camped. The resolution of yesterday
which separated the San Francisco and
Sacramento divisions and elevated Col
Spead to generalship was the one topic
of conversation in the camp and the bite,
feeling among the menwas as apparent as
Yesterday. An attempt to patch up peace
was made, but Kelly absolutely refused te
recognize his recalcitrant officer.
Both leaders were kept busy to-day pre-
venting personal conflicts between the
men of their divisions and Kelly expressed
his fears to an Associated Press reporter
that the men would go beyond his contro
and precipitate general fight. A rumol
that an attempt to assassinate Kelly was
to be made, was circulated las
night, but proved to be without founda
tion. The march to Des Moines begipl
tomorrow morning.
UNCLE SAM WILL STOP THEM.
Washington.-Th strong hand of th'
national government has at last been ex
tended to check in their mad career th'
lawless mob of Coxeyites who seizet
upon train on the Northern Pacific rail
road at Butte, Mont, and started east
ward. The government will no longe
wait upon the tardy movement of stat
officials, and to-day Col. Swaine, who is il
command of the department of Dakota
was instructed by telegraph to use Unite,
States troops to intercept the mob an,
restore to the railroad its property.
! A COAL MINERS VICTORY.
