Commonw callers Steal Train and Leave

CommOnW callers steal Train ana Leave
for the East.
BOISE CRY, Idaho, May ia special
from Montpelier, Idaho, says:
Most Of the common wealers stranded
here are now on their way East on
stolen vain. This has been most ex-
citing day, and nothing but the GOODNESS
and sagacity of United States Marshal
Pinkham and deputies averted blood
shed. The overland train was late at
Pocatello, and was sent over this route
instead of by Ogden as usual. When it
arrived at s O'Clock last night the indus
trials piled on the top and on the plat
forms with their baggage. Conductor
Rice refused to move the train and they
all got off. At 10 40 a special train
bearing Supt. Calvin and United States
Marshal Pinkham arrived with thirty
deputies from the west. Marshal Pink
ham called his men into line and read
the order OF the court for him to protect
property, telling them that the train
was being male up, and any man st
tempting to board it would be shot. The
entire crowd piled on the train and the
crew was then released and the engine
put into the shop. The town BY that
time WAS wild with excitement, many
citizens sympathizing with the wealers.
\ public meeting was called and Mayor
| Douglas was elected chairman. Speeches
we're made by prominent citizens and a
- mmittee of eight was elected to confer
with officials and industrisls. Supt
Calvin and Pinkham were willing to do
all they could for the relief Of citizens,
but their hands were tied by the court.
| The industrals were determined to rle
East The men were again ordered to
get off, but refused. Dick Williams, a
constable of the town, made himself
conspicuous by encouraging the indus
trials and was arrested and taken to jail.
No key was found and he was hand
cutfed and taken to Calvin's car. The
industrials threatened to release him and
crowded around the car, confronted by
three dozen Winchesters sticking Gu; Of
tho windows. 1t was bowling mob
without commander. The train W As
pulled out west to avoid bloodshed. The
industrials then made break for the
round house, took an engine and hitched
it to five box cars and pulled out for the
East with flags flying.
Anxious to be- Arrested.
GREEN RIVER, Wyo, May 15.-About

thought they will seize another train.
They are anxious to be arrested in order
