his half-doZen Coxeyites a short time
ago. to enlist the Thousands in the
cities down the river who were. he
said. simply waiting for the sound
ing of the rallying cry before start
ing to Washington, seems to have
given the river cities up as bad
job. The Burlington Hawkeye is
authority for the statement that at
Keithsburg the party decided to
travel by rail. 1t says:
A private belonging to the noble
army of martyrs, which under the
leadership of Gen. Wilson is floating
down the Mississippi river from Du-
buque. showed up in the city as a
sort of advance guard. but he is SO
entirely separated from his command
and his base of supplies. that he con-
siders himself lost, and his comman-
der an ungrateful wretch for losing
him. He says be left Montana with
Wilson. when the army of the COM
monweal aggregated over a dozen
determined and stubborn warriors;
they hung together pretty well, and
though they became awfully sick of
the river route, sailed into Keiths-
burg with seven men. At this point
a sudden opportunity presented it.
self and the army decided 20 embark
on freight train and pursue its
route by rail. but the embarkation
was done so precipitately that this
man was left behind. and lost all
track of the army, which is by his
abandonment cruelty reduced to six
men. including the general. As
Burlington was the next objective
point, the lost man FASTENED thither
expecting to find his general, but the
army has not yet appeared.
