of taking more hay than belonged to him
whereupon John Beth, Walter Monro and
George Hicky were chosen to 60 and in
spect the hay in both parties building, to
decide whether or not the hay was divided
according to agreement. After leveling Il .
hay and taking the depth, length and
breadth in measurment and reducing it to
cubic f., they unanimouly rendered an
award in favor of Know, and he was still
entitled to 4S cubic #. more hay which
would allow him just one fourth of the
hay that he had drawn out of the field.
When Mr.. RECORDS heard the decision, he
was quite wroth; declaring that he was
being robbed of his property by set of
fools and Jackass, that it was criminal
act. that he could bring it in as larceny
and should have the aforesaid John F.
Knox in Jail before sundown. Up to this
writing, the Constable and arbitrators nre
still at at large.

General Hogan" on the charge of lar
ceny of a Northern Pacific train, and
a warrant has been sworn out by the
company's local attorney. There was
considerable excitement in the city over
the coming of the army, and 1t was
awaited with great interest.
The army was delayed several hours
at Timber Line. fourteen miles west o.
Livingston, by cave-in in the tunnel,
distance this side of Timber Line,
but they got through this afternoon
and got here.
Such trihes as running orders did not
deter the Coxey brigade. and from the
time they left Butte until they reached
Bozeman, the officials were kept in a
fever of anxiety, lest collision should
occur.
"A subscription for their benefit has
been taken up here, and the money.
meat and other provender colleated
was turned over to Hogan, upon their
arrival. Superintendent Finn was
asked whether the CoXey brigade
would take the right of way to the
end of the road and laconically replied:
They have done it so far
When the officials sent them word tC
look out for trains, they replied;
IF you do not want your trains hurt
keep them out of the way"
They had supper here tonight, and
have not yet decided whether to start
east tonight. If they leave at once
| they will reach st. Paul tomorrow

Says He stole the Funds.

Atlantic, Ia, April 24.-Kelly's indus
trial army reached Atlantic at 6 o'clock
tonight with Colonel Spead and his fol-
lowers in the ranks. The day had been
an eventful one. Spead having been
deposed and separation of the Sac
ramento and San Francisco divisions
having been made during the march
with a narrowly averted war. Spead
had refused to obey orders issued by
Kelly and was promptly court mar
tailed and reduced to the ranks.
The Sacramento division at once de-
CARED it would desert Kelly and follow
Spead and the camp was soon in a
scene of wild disorder
About 300 declared for Spead and the
men argued their differences with clubs
and stones. A fight was averted, how
ever, by Kelly's GOODNESS. Before they
reached Atlantic the Sacramento diVis-
ION made Spedd general and tonight
declared their intention to follow no
banner but his They openly denounced
Kelly as having applied to his own use
the army's funds. and say they will
obey his orders no longer. Spead has
accepted the leadership, but says he
will march TO Washington with Kelly
but not under his guidance. Thence
4 forth. says Spead, there will be two
AnrTnies absolutely distinct, but sharing
provisions and glory. Kelly hopes for
a reconciliation. He says he can and
Will account for funds received. The
two armies will remain in Atlantic I'M
til Thursday.

been connected with Coxey's crusade,
irepudiates it. He says:
$50 far as 1 know labor organiza-
tions intend to give no support to this
movement. All citizens are interested

deprived of their rights, but if the Wis

ceive no support from organized Ia

DEFENSE OF THE TREASURY.
Precautions Taken Against the Com
ing of the Coxeys.

ing of the COXeyS.
Washington, April 24.-The treasury
officials. while disclaiming any fears
of trouble on account of the presence
of the crowds incident to the coming
of CoXey's army, have taken the pre-
caution of adding ffty-five carbines
and twenty revolvers to the treasury's
supply Of arms.
The normal strength of the watch
forces Of the treasury is seventy men,
divided into two reliefs, and in addition
TO two or three dozen revolvers,
there have always been thirty-five
carhines in the racks in the office of
the captain of the watch, sufficient to
supply one to each Waterman on duty.
1t has been thought best, however,
to increase the supply in view Of the
crowds of hangers-on of CoXey's army
that are expected to arrive in the city
during the coming week. The captain
of the Treasury guards, a local mill
tary organization composed entirely of
clerks in the treasury department, to-
day informed the captain of the watch
force that in case of trouble at any
hour of the day or night he could have
every man in his command at the
treasury building inside of forty min
utes. He stated his men were we'll
drilled in the use of arms, and hence
could do much more effective work
than civilians. He asked to be notified
| if there was at any time any apprehen-
sion Of trouble.

THE KITCHEN STOVE.
Valuable Suggestions About Substi-
tuting the Gas or Oil Stove.

The time is at hand when the winter
range will be laid aside for the gas or
oil stove, which hoUsekeepers have found
such blessing in summer weather
The care of a gas range is simple in
the extreme. 1t need only be kept clean,
and it is much easier to do this than to
keep an oil stove clean, but since the
latter will often be used, just word as
to its care.
If properly managed they can be kept
absolutely free from smoke or odor The
frequent changing of the wicks will pre-
Der that the wicks are to feed the flame;
and if the flame is put out without the
wicks being turned below the surface of
the wickholder, the feeding goes on, and
oil, the oil runs down the base, and, the
next time the stove is lighted. an ex-
ceedingly unpleasant odor is sent off from
this .evaporating oil If such a thing
should occur, wipe the tank perfectly dry
before lighting the stove.
The oil tank should be covered with a
perforated cap. This is of the utmost inl-
portance. If the cap be solid there is no
vent save through the spaces of the wick
threads. If these are close the pressure
will increase and force out the oil aud
vapor and your fame will burn irreg-
ularly, smoke and frequently give little
explosions II the pressure is greater
than the solidity Of the cap an explosion
will occur.
Most accidents that occur with stoves
or lamps occur from filling them while
burning. This is a most dangerous anC
wicked proceeding. The VapoT from the
open can is fired, and of course, an ex
| plosion results.
Do not make the mistake of PURCHASING
| too small stove, either gas, oil or coal
| The time and brains required in contriV
ing, just how, 10 have, all the dishes don,
more worth than the additional cost O
