militia surrounded the encamped army.
A week of inactivity in a cold, driz-
zling rain reduced their defiant spirit
somewhat, but the citizens condemned
Governor Jackson and the authorities
for their protective action.
In the meantime, Marshal Hogan's
contingent waited in Butte for the
transportation. They announced that
they had no intention of starting east
on foot, Manager Wharton amiably
offered q line of cars, to be placed at
their disposal whenever they wished to
start for the depot. Railway officials
continued to insist, politely but firmly,
that it exceeded their authority to
move the army free of charge, or to
offer them reduced fare. There was
a joker in the Butte situation, though
its possibilities seem to have been lost
on the army and it's marshal. The
Northern Pacific railroad was in re-
ownership, and so. under federal con-
troll.
Elsewhere, county and state authori-
ties had proved themselves unable to
cope with the industrial army. Coxey's
men had seized trains, disorganized
train service, and defied officers Of the
law. Through it all they had been
backed by the populace, and more i'm
portant, by the newly formed and tri-
umphant American Railway union, or
ganized the year before and powerful
through it's great North Western rail-
way victory.
Counting on popular and organized
support, on April "a Hogan seized a
Northern Pacific train and started east
with his army. Hearing at Livingston
that the track had been ordered torn
up 80 miles east of Columbus, they ap-
propriated a tool car and went ahead
The people were with them at Liv-
ingston. A tremendous mass meeting
was held. and the countryside turned
out to welcome and applaud them
Superintendent Finn notified the
county commissioners of Park county
that he was getting no protection from
the forces Of law and order, and woulc
hold the county responsible. The COM
missioners disclaimed responsibility
not too respectfully.
At 2 p. M, April rs, Marshal Nc
Dermott made q formal and writer
demand on the governor of Montana
for the aid Of the militia in executing
the processes OF the United States
court. In response, Governor Richards
wired Adjutant General Lloyd at Butte
to notify Colonel Kessler to order al
militia Of the state, except that sta

Utah about 1857, at the time of Nor
mon and Indian troubles there.
During the Spanish war, perhaps a
majority of the leading officers had
won their spurs in Indian conflicts.
Nelson A. Miles, commanding general
of the army at that time and who was
in command Of the brief Porto Rico
campaign, was pre-eminently an In
dian fighter of the Northwest, al
though also a Civil war veteran. Guy
v. Henry, Frank Baldwin, Henry A.
LaWton, Leonard Wood, are q few Of
those who saw active service at west
ern posts before winning new laurels
in the Cuban or Philippine campaigns.
In the World war, much the same
situation arose, although most Of the
field commanders were only young lieu
tenants when they served at western
posts and saw some active service in
such conflicts as the punitive expedi-
tons against the ApacheS in Arizona
in the eighties or in the last Sioux
outbreaks.
General Pershing saw service in Ari-
iona in the late eighties and in Mon
tana In the nineties. Liggett was in
the army early enough to take part In
Miles campaigns against Sioux and
Cheyennes, which followed the Custer
disasters. General Allen, who COM
manded the troops on the Rhine after
the war, was another of the leaders
who was a lieutenant at Fort Keogh
$780, w.

of the World wal who saw active from
