Cured at this place at 7 80 last evening
between the deputy United States mar
sbals and the industrials. Deputy Mar
shals Chichester and Jolly, of Tacoma
were shot, the first named in the leg, and
the latter through the bowels. The lat
ter is MORALLY wounded. Twenty shots

ceived flesh wounds from revolvers
Buck" pockmarked Seattle Coxeyite,
who was leader of the crowd, had two
fingers broken with club. Intense ex-
element reigns at Yakima. The fight
was the result OF determination OIL the
part Of Coxeyites not to leave a train
which had been held there since 10
O'Clock yesterday morning. At 2 O'Clock
thirteen deputies attempted to take out
the train, Chichester being in charge

| latter gave up after two attempts to ouht
the army and steamed back to Yakima a,
two miles from the scene of the scufIie,
and side tracked the train. Ten depu-
ties from Toppenish responded to Child
ester's demand for reinforcements and
twenty five more went from Ellensburg.
At in the evening the train backed to
the bridge over the Yakima river, mile
from town. Half of the population fol-
lowed. The Coxeyites boarded the train
to the number Of $50. Chichester says
one Of them attempted to set q brake
deputy ordered him to stop. On his
refusing the deputy pulled him away.
The Coxeyites began clubbing the
deputy and the shooting commenced.
The Coxeyites retreated, breaking the
switch and piling rocks on the track, but
afterward removed them. When the
fight began stones were thrown at the
engineer and fireman, attempting to dis
lodge them. Some sympathizers cheered
the Coxeyites in their fight. All along
the line the industrials are in an ugly
mood.
1t seems difficult to determine Just who
began the firing, but it appears that the
marshals shot first to protect their COM
rade when the industrials were clubbing
him because he pulled Coxeyite from
the brake. They shot only to wound
and cause the Coxeyites to desist.

are very much disturbed. The traitorous
conduct of their leader, Dolphin, and the
vigilance OF the authorities have crushed
their spirits. Desertions are numerous

Injunction has been issued by Judge
HaDford restraining the commonwealers
