A soldier train consisting of Is
hours this forenoon while the cap
tain in command was obstinately
ly holding out against hauling four
dead head" coaches on the rear of
his train.
The train arrived at o'clock this
morning, bearing the Twenty-seventh
battery of artillery of the United
States army, from Fort Ethan Allen,
Vermont, and bound for the Philip
pine islands. The battery was in
command of Captain E. D. Scott,
who refused to go further If the
were attached to his train from this
city to Portland.
The trainmen in charge of the
train had orders to take the coaches
and could not go without them, and
so war of words over the tele-
grarh wires was conducted by Cap
tain SCOTT in seeking to have the
coaches dropped. The matter was
taken up with the dispatcher at La
Grande, who refused to obey Captain
Scott, but who ordered the coaches
carried.
Upon falling to get relief from the
dispatcher Captain Scott appealed to
the department commander at Fort
Vancouver, who ordered the train to
proceed at once without further de-
lay or resistance on part of the cap
tain. SO after four hours delay
here the train pulled ont for Port
land with the dead head" coaches
attached and n captain who was in
no mood for merriment
While the train was waiting here
for settlement cf the difficulty a
detail of soldiers was stationed at the
coupling OF the cars and as fast as
the trainmen coupled up the air to
s'ait the train the sollie~s or guard
cut the air hose and prevented the
train from moving.
The spirited contest between the
soldiers and the railroad company
was watched with keen interest by
large crowd of people and the de-

merriment by the crowd of specta-
tors.
During the delay the soldiers en-
joyed visit about the city and
cooked their breakfast.

and equipment belonging to the bat
