tiles to prevent the first regiment of the
San Francisco division of the Industrial
Army from passing beyond the borders of
Utah on its way to Washington has
caused considerable indignation among
the party leaders in this city from the fact
that many of the new recruits look upon
the matter as sort of iamper to the
plans laid out for the line Of march. This
feeling has manifested itself In not few
of the men, who are determined to remain
here until the trouble Is finally settled

Murmons.

will be safely carried through to Wash

and looks upon the matter as mere bluff
ON the part of the railroad.
The major has the assurance of good
mem bership from this city and neigh bor-

preparing for the march, which will prob
ably start next Monday.
The use of the Brewery Workmen's

offer will probably be accented. although a
more spacious hall would be preferable, In

which assemble at the meeting held each
