from care and penalty. The attitude
of Governor Lewelllng gave this Idea
encouragement. The executive said

to do so, preferring to let the wild train
move on to having six hundred arrest

took legal Ingenuity to get the railroad
In a position to apprehend the wild

pended on their general attorney,
Hatley P. Waggoner, to drag them one

pressing 1 he United States into hie
service by getting the olerk of the
United States olronit court at Topeka

known oommonwealers, an action
which Populist leaders condemn az
unlawful. In the meanwhile the oom-
monwealers are reported to be flying
eastward having broken camp Ohiv-
lngton, Colorado, where they spent the
night, rolled in blankets, in the open
air, while the train stood, still on the
main traok.
Formidable obstructions are report

and several box oars, and the aujfply of

crossing the state line into Kansas at
11 o’olook. At different points from
there eastward, the wealers wild oat is
reported roaring by other places forty
miles an hoar. The man at the throt-
tle is said to be an old Missouri Pacific
engineer and he knew every sag and
curve on the road. The wild train
reaohed Horace, Kansas at 2 o’clock.
There they fonnd the eastward bound
passenger and mall that had been held
by the oomyany. The wealers oom
mended the orew of this train to move
And after an exchange of dispatches
with the superintendent, the train sped
away.
Regarding the train now safe the
'pilot of the wealers epeoial kept oloee
In its wake. The wealers had now a
first olass locomotive, having aban-
doned the rnsty old switch engine at
Horace, Kansas, and appropriated the
best passenger engine they oonld fine
in the round hones. Without a mis-
hap the runaways reaohed Soott City,
which they approached warily. They
saw 50 feet of track torn np In front of
the station there and a hundred men

started a train east from Lsoti, Kan-

morning having obtained fuel and wa-
ter for |their engine. The sheriff of

ingfor assistance from tae state saying
he was nnable to master sufficient

souri Paolflo obstructions are east of
here and west of Selkirk.
The CL xeyltes abandoned here the
stolen Rio Grande Bwitoh engine and
seized the best passenger engine in the
Missouri Paolflo yard. At 2:15 they
were still here, waiting for the east
>onnd passenger train to pass them.
; Hoiunqton, Kas., May 10—A tele

of Soott City by half past fonr this
evening.
La Crosse, Kan., Ma10—The weal
ers returned to Horace and absolutely
refused to move out of there unless the
regular passenger, delayed there, goes
ahead of them. Superintendent Clark

ger train is ahead.

■The”oommonwealers passed Leoti at
5:05 and reached this point following
the east bound passenger. Waggoner's
train arrived here some time before
the Ooxeyites. Marshal Neeley and
f oroes were standing on the platform
with their Winchesters in waiting.
When the oommonwealers came in
sight, and saw the armed men, they
reversed their engine and went at a
high rate of speed backwards, disap-
pearing in the west. At Soott City, a
part of the traok had been taken pD by
