men. They are not opposed here, but
are encouraged, lu the hopes of enlisting
tbe element that can be easily spared.
Fergus Falls, Minn., May 8—A Coxey
nryt nicer, who was here with a wing of
the array in un interview said that fS.OIN)
"as raised in Butte to help take the
army which li was orgauiziug from the
West to the East. He says that other
cities on the coast are raising large sums
to send unemployed workingnien East.
They rare uothiug about the effort that
the movement is expected to have ou
legislation, but it is a cheap and popular
way to returu to the East large ariuy
of men which floated West during the
bociii days on the coast, and which is
now a drtig in Western cities. While
the organizer was here a prominent aud
wealthy man gave him a list of 104 un
desirable citizens and offered him $10 per
head for as many of them as lie would
take East, the money payable when he
reached Pittsburg, so that the men will
not drift back ut once. The West bus

St. Paul, May 8.—The following reso
lution was presented at to-day's meeting
of the chaml er of coinuii rco aud referred
to a committee
"Whereas, Our country is lieiug bu
ll iliated by the spectacle of numerous
lit dies of unemployed meu from various
localities marching to the national capi
tal to coerce congress into passing meas
ures for their relief. Tbe worst feature
of the movement is that it is a menace
to law and order.
"Resolved, That in a friendly spirit
we would advire these men to abandon
their foolish and hopeless proceeding.
The United States government has mil
lions OT acres of fertile land' which it do
nitcs to actual settlers in quantities of
1(H) acres to ev*ry bead of a family, or
single person above tho age of twenty
one, and If they are disposed to work
they can, by taking tbe benefit of the
horcestcad law, attain competence, as
thousands of others have done.
"Resolved, That the practice which has
'occurred in some instances of communi
ties, municipal and state authorities lend
ing the so-called Coxeyites facilities for
their progress, unloading them as it were
upon the next city or state, should be
heartily condemned"
Washington, May 0.—The three lead
ers of the commonweal, Coxey, Browne
and Christopher Columbus Jones, hare
bsgn found guilty of violating the laws
by a jury of th ir peers and will have
to submit to a sentence hereafter to be
iinpesed by the court for their recent
demonstration on the capitol grounds.
Thus ends what its leaders styled "tlic
greatest march of the nineteenth cen
tury." All three of the accused were
cqnvicted on the first count of the in
dictment which charged tliem with dis
playing a banner designed to bring into
public notice the J. S. Coxey Good Roads
association. Jones of Philadelphia was
acquitted on the second count, which ac
cused them of treading on the grass,
but Coxey and Browne were convicted.
Attorney Lipscpmbe immediately en
tered a motion for a new trial and an
other in arrest of judgment. Judge Mill
er gave him fqur days to fi|e the formal
paper. Two weeks' may e)apse, during
which the trio wil| be free on bail, be
fore the motion for anew trial is argued
ahd decided, fhe penalty f|rqy|deil by
law is the same fpi eucb offense, viz., ii
fine not to exceed $106 and imprisonment
in jail for not mofe than sixty days, or
both, within the discretion of the court.
Accordingly, the maximum puqisbment
which may be meted out to Coxey and
Browne |s $200 and 120 days, while
Christopher Columbus Jones |s subject
to $100 and sixty days.
By a curious congressional error in a
recent bill which reorganized tbe district
courts there is no appellate court to
which a police court case can be carried.
The only method of appealing from Judge
Mi||er's sentence will be an application
to a higher court for writs of babei^s
corpus and certiorari^ Attorney I^ips
couibe has announced that he wi|l take
this step if Ji|dge Mi|ler overrules the
motion for 4 new trial. However, si)ch
a petition will not operate as a stay of
judgment to keep tbe defeqdaqts from
serviug their sentepces while it is pend
ing.
Des Moines, May P. Gen. Kelly's
boats are almost completed, and the
army will soon make a start from Des
Moines. They have food enough for
three days. Oskalooxa will send 1,000
loaves of bread and coffee and meat be

procession, and the army is in better
spirits than it has been for several days.

ou labor, by a vote of 7 to 2, decided to

tion by a special committee of the senate
and house of the Coxey movement and
the depressed condition of labor in gen
eral. This decision was hailed with sat
isfaction by Messrs. Coxey and Browne
and by a number of prominent Populists
and Farmers' Alliance leaders and the
chairman and secretory of the People's
party. The vote to report the resolution
was:
Ayes—Erdmaq (Pa.), Wells (Wis.),
Ryan (N. Y.), Talbfrt (S. C.), Democrats

Neeley will have any great difficulty in

of the government in similar cases, that
a sufficient force of. troops will be or
dered out to serve the writs and to pro

At 11:90 Mr. Harris, in charge of (lie
t, riff bill, nbruptly moved to proceed xvith
the consideration of thnt bill. The reso
lutjon offered by Mr. Allen yesterday

duy Mr. Allen's resolution for au in
vestigation of the action of the police
(liring tin Coxey parade was taken ap
and Senators Teller and Stewart spoke
ill favor of it. Mr. Hoar said. Coxey
knew that the law under which lie was
convicted wis on the statute books. Me
came here with the deliberate intention
of violating it. He wanted t® test the
liower of the cougress in the court, and
wheu he found both court and jury
ngiinst him he set up a howl. "There is
danger," said Mr. Hoar, "iu such assem
blages. They afford cover for one or two
fanitics. It does r.ot i?o to scoff. Within
ten years all attempt has been made to
blow up tbe houalea of parliament within
two yenrs another attempt to blow lip
the French assembly Two presidents of
the United States have been niurdcrfd,
one in crowd at a de|Ht, the other in a
crowd at a theater, by misguided and fa
natical persons to whom the peaceable
assemblages afforded an opportunity to
escape. It is needless for me," said Mr.
Hoar, drawing himself up uiul looking
ii 1mmit the chamber, bis eye pausing wheu
tlicy reached Mr. Allen and Mr. Stewart
"to declare that I sympathize with all of
my fellows in distress. 1 sympathize with
them a great deal more than some of
those who ulwaya prate of sympathy for
the down-trodden in order to advance
their disgraceful political ambitions."
The galluries burst into riuging ap
plause at this utterance, mid in order to
quell the demonstration Mr. Faulkner,
who was in the chair, was forced to use
his gavel vigorously aud threaten to clear
the galleries. The resolution wcut over
without action.
Mr. Allison offered two amendments to
the drug schedule of the tariff bill, but
they were defeated.
The house udopted resolutions on the
death of Congressman Brattnn of Mary
land, which occurred this morning, am)

Men Whom the llend of the Family
WAN to Testify Atralnat In Forit
ery nnd Anon Cave.
Milan, Mo., May 12.—A most atrocious
crime was committed last night near
Browning. Gus Meekft, his wife and two
children were murdered out right anil
another of Meeks' children, a girl seven
years old, was so badly injured that she
may not recover.
The circumstances leading up to the
crime are about as follows: There area
number of criminal cases pending in the
Lvnu and Sullivan county courts against
William P. Taylor and C?eorge Taylor,
brothers, the former being banker of
Biowning and the latter a farmer. Tbe
clu«rges against them are forgery, arson
and larceny. William I'. Taylor, CSus
Meeks and others are jointly indicted,
aud Meeks pleaded guilty at the last, term
and was sent to the penitentiary. About
a month ago he was pardoned by Gov.
Stone in order to use him as witness
against the Taylors, who were: in conse
quence anxious to get rid of him. It is
said the Taylors had nrrauged with
Mct-ks to give the latter a wagon and
toil iu to get out of the county so that he
might not be present wheu the case
against the Taylors was called for trial.
From Meeks* mother it is learned that
yottrduy her son received a letter from
the Taylors at Browning, telling him to
be ready at 10 o'clock last night to go
awny, that Gus Meeks and the children
walled for Taylor until midnight when
two men whom Meeks said were George
and Hill Taylor, caiue to their Louie iu
ws gon. Meeks and his family got into
the wjgon and started for Browning.
The details of tbe crime as near as can
be obtained were told by the little scvcu
jear-old girl, who was suffering greatly
as she recited the story. It appears that
when the Meeks family and the persons
ompuuying them reached a point uear
the school house in Lynn county, a short
distance east of Browning, they wore
!et by two other men who were lying
iu wait. Gus Meeks was lirst shot u:id
Mrs. Meeks jumped. SK» was also killed,
the murderers then took stones and beat
the brains out of the two children and
left the other for dead. The murderers
then, it is supposed, loaded the whole
family into the w«tgr.u and hauled
nearly two miles to the Taylor farm
where they «vcre buried in a *tiaw stack.
At 4:tf0 this morning the eldest child )o
M.vered suHicieutly to describe sotue of
the prities, and upon her evidence Sharon
McCuliough of Gould and Georg* How
hit of l,iiu» county have been arrested as
participants in the crime. The Taylor*
ha*»? escaped.

THE COMMONWRAMHtft.
Where the Different Branches Are
nnd What ther Ave Doing.
Washington, May 0.—The three lead
ers of the commonweal, Coxey, Browne
and Christopher Columbus Jones, hare
been found guilty of violating the laws
by a jury of th?ir peers and will have
to submit to a sentence hereafter to be
iinpesed by the court for tlieir recent
demonstration on the capitol grounds.
Thus ends what its leaders styled
Mthe
greatest march of the nineteenth cen
tury." All three of the accused were
convicted on the first count of the in
dictment which charged them \i ith dis
playing *a banner designed to briug into
public notice the J. S. Coxey Good ltouds
association. .Tones of Philadelphia was
acquitted on the second count, which ac
cused them of treading on the grass,
but Coxey and Browne were convicted.
Attorney Lipseombe immediately en
tered a motion for uew trial and an
other in arrest of judgment. Judge Mill
er gave him four days to file the formal
paper. Two weeks may elapse, during
which tho trio will be free on bail, be
fore the motion for new trial is argued
and decided. The peuulty provided by
law is the same foi each offense, viz., a
fine not to exceed $100 and imprisonment
iu jail for not more than sixty days, or
both, within the discretion of the court.
Accordingly, the maximum punishment
which may be meted out to Coxey and
Browne is $200 aud 120 days, while
Christopher Columbus Jones is subject
to $100 and sixty days.
By a curious congressional error in a
recent bill which reorganized the district
courts there is no appellate court to
which a police court case uan be carried.
The only method of appealing from Judge
Miller's sentence will be au application
to a higher court for writs of habeas
corpus and certiorari. Attorney Lips
combe has announced that be will take
this step if Judge Miller overrules the
motion for a new trial. However, such
a petition will not operate as a stay of
judgment to keep the defendants from
serving their senteuces while it is pond
ing.

this complaint J. C. Williams, deputy
sheriff of Otter Tail county, started after
hiin and has driven the tramp into tho
big woods ou the west shore of Otter
Tail lake, auior township, which he, with
a small posse is guarding. To-day Ward
received a telegram from Williams, ask
ing for aid. A crowd was at once se
cured. Coming to Wadena the force was
quickly increased to wenty-seveu. This
force, all heavily armed, left ou a train
for Ferham, from where they will go
with wagons. The men are determined to
bring him iu either dead or alive. The
criminal is urmed with it Winchester
rifie and revolver. He answers the de
scription of a man tuuned Butelson, who
is wanted iu Otter Tail couuty for a
similar crime committed over a year ago.

of the government in similar cases, that
a sullici'iit force of troops will be or
dered out to serve the writs aud to pro

Takes Oat e» Jail aa* Haa(ti,
Sharon Springs, Kan., Mar 10.—One of
the meat determined mobs that ever con
gregated in this portion of the state
bcthed William McKinltjr and bis son,
Lewis, for the murder of Charles Carley,
cc mn.itted one week ago. About a week
ago Charles Carley, a son-in-lsw of Will
It MeKinley, was murdered. An in
vtitigation revealed the fact that Fred,
a 8ertnteen-year-old son of MeKinley,
Sr., committed tbe crime. Tbe boy was
nirttted, made a confession, stating that
he bad been induced to kill Carley by
bis father and bis elder brother Lewis.
The motive for the murder seemed prin
cipally revenge and hatred. The mur
dered nan had only a few weeks before
luiurled McKinley's daughter. It had
l-'en stiplated before tbe marriage that
the groom was to pay the bride's father
$200 for the privilege of marrying her.
Tho groom refused to pay this money
after be was married, and thus incurred
the enmity of tbe wife's father and broth
el 8. The boy surprised Carley while
aslitp, cutting him horribly with a garden
Loe. He was found dead.
Un Monday tho three men were ar
raigLed in court, where Fred pleaded
guilty as charged, but lis father and
Lewis pleaded not guilty, waived trial
and were placed in the couuty jail. Last
night a mob of several hundred men took
the father and son to a bridge about half
a mile west of town and lynched them.
They both begged piteously for mercy.
Fred would probably have been hanged
but instead of taking him to the jail h«
was kept uuder guard in the hotel.
Golnsr lata the River.
Sr. Anne de la Parade, May 10.—Two
•ther houses have fallen into the river
this moruing. Two hundred men ure
at work trying to save the big Canadian
l'acific railroad bridge which it is not
expected will be able to withstand the
water. To say that the inhabitants of
this village are in a great state of ex
citement is putting it mildly. About 10
o'clock yesterday morning a farmer
named Ullrich Boissevert, whose proper
ty is situated about fifteen acres above
the Canadian Pacific bridge, noticed
that his land was rapidly being carried
a way, and, with the help of some of
his neighbors, began to move his effects.
He just had time to do ho, as shortly af
terward be saw his house carried away
by the river.

Little Falls, N. Y., May 10.—Consid

said boycotted ex-Congressman J. J.
Finnerty and M. J. Murphy, who were
billed to give an entertainment on poetry
and songs of Ireland here last night.
The trouble, it is said, grew out of the
failure of the Hiberniane to secure llio
entertainment themselves, whereupon
they prevented many Irishmen from at
tending. Both Mr. Finnerty and Mc
Murphy are members of the A. O. H.
