Show HADING Mf MAY NOT GOME TO OTffl It Is Not Believed That Kells "Soldiers" Can Reach Ogden. Special to The Tribune. OGDEN, March S. "With the "Invading army" of unemployed men still within the hounflurles of California after their start from San Francisco several days ago, llio local authorities and also officials offi-cials of the Southern PacIJlc railroad, over which thev propose to travel, doubt whether any of ''General" Kelly's forces or the equal number of seceders ever reach Opden. This city has been named as the objective point at which the main bodv expected to receive reinforcements In the form of a detachment of men from tho northwest. Superintendent T. F. Ilowlands of the Salt Lako division of the Southern Pacific, Pa-cific, declared today that ho was not worrying: about the proposed invasion for the reason that the Nevada, state authorities au-thorities were prepared to resist any attempt of the army to cross tho state lino from California. Ho also Intimated that the Nevada officials would receive the aid of tho railroad company in this stand. In 1894 when the army of unemployed started east from California they had similar difficulties over transportation problems until they reached Lrovelocks, Nov. At that point they captured a Southern Pacillc freight train. C. E. Huntington, who was westbound on a special train, stopped oft in Lovelocks long enough to secure definite information informa-tion on the matter. Ho then Issued an order for the freight train and the "army" to proceed as fast as possible to Ogden. which would get the invaders out of Southern Pacific territory. The band was given one meal here, after which the whole delegation marched out to Uintah and proceeded eastward on board Union Pacific freight trains. Superintendent Rowlands made It plain today that no such action would be taken In the case of Kelly's army now in Sacramento. Ho said that the invasion inva-sion occurred several years ago and that the stale laws had been changed materially mate-rially since that time, making it a serious se-rious offense for one state to- provide means by which Indigents and undesirables undesira-bles arc dumped Into another state. Backed by the resisting attitude of tho Nevada authorities, the railroad official said that every effort would be made to prevent the unemployed Invaders from traveling over the Southern Pacific. The Salt Lake division official also expressed the opinion that It would be physically impossible for tho men to ride on freight trains by reason of the fact that there is from fivo to ten feet of snow on the divide and the temperature tempera-ture at the high points ranges down around zero. The prospect of this experience, expe-rience, together with tho fnct that the men are not "eating regular" In Sacramento, Sacra-mento, probably will "aid In bringing about a dlsbandment of the army before It leaves California, according to Mr. Rowlands. Row-lands. The Southern Pacific official will leave tomorrow mornlne: for a trip of inspection inspec-tion over his division, which extends us far west as Reno, Nov. He will confer with the Nevada authorities while in that state relative to the proposed plan of action to resist the possible invasion. in-vasion. The authorities here havo received re-ceived no further information concerning tho reported oncoming detachment from the northwest. |
