DENVER , July 20. A special to the News
-'from Fort Sidney , Neb. , says the 200 mem
bers of the Denver contingent of the Coxey
nrmy who are hero under arrest nre liable
to bo afflicted with an epidemic of typhoid
fever. The symptoms ore already mnnlfcst
ndthere _ nre nt least three well denned
cases of scurvy caused by their present food
nnd surroundings. The men liavo been
confined more than a month In a small build
ing hardly largo enough to accommodate
one-half their number. Mnny of the prison
ers have no blankets or other covering from
damp night air and nre compelled to sleep
on the bare floor , which Is overrun with
Vermin. They nro without the most com-
' won conveniences generally granted to even
the lowest class of criminals In all prisons.
The sick call every morning brings from
twenty-five to fifty before the doctor. The
tiospltnl Is taxed to Its utmost capacity. A
Wan must be very sick to get there , nnd once
Jn ho has to trust to luck for recovery more
than upon Iho treatment or medicine.
The guard house , however , Is more easy of
ncccss , nnd a slight Infraction of the "rules"
entitles tne perpetrator to three days therein
on bread nnd water diet. The men nre
' guarded by nbout forty dcpu'y United States
marshals , who allow no outdoor exercise ,
except an occasional bath In the creek. Two
scant mtals a day nre given , generally con
sisting of boiled beef , often tainted , bread
nnd so-called coffee. Sometimes alleged
"stew" Is given , consisting of the same beet
Vlth an onion and a half po'ato per man.
fflio broth Is thickened with flour. Gen
erally the whole mess Is badly scotched In
cooking and tastes of burning hair. Once
flsh was given , salt as the ocean , partly
dried nnd half cooked , with the heads nnd
scales left on. Beans and cabbage have been
given out once or twice , but In such small
quantities as to be scarcely worth mention
ing.
ing.Tho men were arrested nt Big Springs ,
Neb. , June 1C , nnd were herded In this pen
of nitli for two weeks before a trial was
granted. They claim that this trial" was
worse than a farce and strongly resembled
what they called "kangaroo" Justice. None
liavo thus far been Informed of any sentence
and several who pleaded not guilty are re
ceiving the same treatment ns those who
pleaded guilty. The latter claim that they
were tricked Into making this plea on prom
ises of speedy sentence and removal from
the pestilential quarters.

After the receipt of the above telegram by
The Boo yesterday a message was sent
to Fort Sidney , asking for the facts In the
case , and Harry A. Frank of this city , who
Is acting as n deputy there , wired the follow
ing :
"Reports that contagious diseases have
fcrokcn out among the Commonwcalers are
absolutely false. Twenty-eight men asked
for medical attention this morning , but they
were not very sick. Eight men are confined
to the hospital. No scurvy , typhoid fever
or other contagious disease has appeared.
The hospital Is disinfected and scrubbed
every day and the prison Is cleaned every
pther day. The prisoners take a bath every
day nnd boll their clothes every other day.
.Thoy nre fed twice a day un plain , wholesome -
some food. The Wealers furnish the cooks ,
both for themselves and the deputies. The
government Irrigation dlt.'h is opened and
Ifm' jivatcr runs all nround the grounds. Tim
tanltnry arrangements nre the same as when
the soldiers occupied the fort. The report
tl threatened outbreaks contain little truth ,
blthough a largo meeting was held. The
leaders were confined In the guard house.
Tea men were turned loose today , given a
day's rations nnd agreed to leave the town
today. The only weapons taken from the
prisoners were a tow clubs and an old gun
Scarcely good enough for a club. "
United States Marshal White , when shown
the Denver dispatch , was Inclined to be-
llovo that tl-e whole matter was simply an
exaggeration. Ho stated that the prisoners
nnd deputloi are fed by J. II. Market of
thla city , manager of the Pacific Hotel com-
Jiany. When the Commonwealers were Im
prisoned Howard Perry , a special agent of
li' ' Pi the government , went to Fort Sidney and
ft If contracted for the feeding of the men. Ho
agreed to pay Market BO cents per day for
each prisoner. Market was to furnish ra
tions on the basis of three-fourths of a
pound of moat , a half gallon of coffee and
ono pound of bread per day to each man.
! Two meals were terved each day. The
Aoputlus were fed under another contract with
Market at a higher rnte per day.
The prisoners are confined In three rooms
adjoining each other. The largest room Is
40 by 100 feet In size , the next 30 by 40. nnd
the third 20 by 30. Every man that was
not provided with suitable clothing had been
furnished with all that ho required , lllnnk-
ots hnvo been Issued by the government to
nil that-dld not already have them.
The ho&pltal service Is In charge of Dr.
Stowldds , who furnishes n dally report to
Marshal Whlto. The last report received nt
the olllco hero Is dated July 18 , and shows
that on that date there were eight men In
the hospital , whllo nineteen had been treated
In the general quarters. Of the eight men
In the hospital none ivero suffering from
serious or Infectious diseases. Men In the
hospital are given spring cots , blankets and
pillows. During last month more -Imn 300
prescriptions were furnished by the physi
cian In charge. This , Mr. Whlto bolluves ,
effectually disproves the assertion that the
prisoners do not receive nietllo.il attention.
As far ns treatment Is concerned , Marshal

SAN FRANCISCO , July 20. Theodore Fo >
has commenced suit against John W. Mno
kny'and Senator John P. Jones , C. K. Flsh
O. R. Wells and Cornelius O'Connor to ob'
tain an accounting of the affairs of the Con-
solldateil California and Virginia Mining
company. Fox alleges that between $1,000.-
000 and $5,000,000 have been wrongfully np >
preprinted by the defendants. He cays thai
Mackay , Jones and the late James C. Flooil
coniplrcd to manipulate the mine Wholly In
their Interests , and avers tlmt the Comstocli
Mining company was paid $7 a ton for crushIng -
Ing ere when jl would have been a liberal
price.
As Mackay , Jones and Flood controlled the
milling company they received the benefit ol
the overcharge amounting to about $2,000,000 ,
Fox also claims tlmt the ore was so crushed
as to leave the mast valuable part In the
tailings , which , when worked over by the
mill , yielded the three conspirators an addi
tional profit of $2nOO,000. There Is also a
complaint tlmt Mackey , Jones and Flood
caused to bo Issued to themselves 33,30fl
shares of slock at $1 per share , which stock
was afterwards worth In open market
$587,916. Fox demands an accounting of all
these transactions and judgment for such
amount ns the accounting shall show to be

Y. M. C. A. CAMP ( Near West Point )
Neb. , July 20. ( Special to The Bee. ) "Yot
need rain rather badly In this part of the
state1. It's pretty dry around here , " I re
marked to the driver who was taking me
out to the Y. M. C. A. camp on the Elkhorr
river , as the clouds of dust rolled across
the prairie road. "Yes , It's dry enough here
but you'll find It a blamed sight mere drj
when you strike that Y. M. C. A. place oul
there , " ho replied , nnd wiped the stream ol
perspiration from beneath the rim of hi ;
hat and wished ho had n schooner or two tc
wash the dust from his throat. But Imagine
my surprise , as wo drove nround the little
clump of trees which hides the camp from
vlow until you arc right upon It , when the
first thing that struck my sight was a can
vas-covered wagon on which was painted In
bold letters , "St. Louis Export Beer. " But
I afterwards found that the brewing company
also handled Ice , and after leaving a couple
of chunks of the cool crystal the wngon drove
on to deliver the rest of Its cargo at one of
the neighboring farm houses. The same evenIng -
Ing Secretary Ober chose for the text of his
talk , "Avoid nlso the appearance of evil. "
There Is not one of the boys In the
camp who at home , If he were roused out
of bed at half past 6 In the morning , would
not cause a small Insurrection. But In
camp It Is different , and one who could
enjoy his slumbers nfter the first boy Is
awake could sleep with Bedlam let loose.
Boys who In their own back yard have a
perfect horror of the wood pile oven seem
to get actual enjoyment out of chopping
kindling. But no ono Is overworked nor
underpaid , and camping cut even work Is
considered a part of camp life , just the same
as straw pillows and tin spoons.
Sleeping on hard straw , getting up early
nnd going to bed early , living on good , plain
fare , and taking plenty of exercise , this
kind of a life for two weeks will save
hundreds of dollars In doctor's bills. The
boys don't know that they have a liver ,
though the presence of the stomach , when
menl time comes , Is quite npparent.
The camp has no partlclnr program and
every ono does about as he p'.cases. A swim
before breakfast nnd nnother later In the
day , boating , getting wood and water , fishIng -
Ing , meals , base ball , stories and songs
around the campllro In the evening , a short
talk from Mr. Ober , and the day Is gone
before any one has time to realize It.
AS TO CAMP RULES.
There are no particular rules In camp , with
one exception. One rule that cannot be
broken Is that no party mny go swimming
without a leader nnd special permission. The
Elkhorn , which flows nbout 100 yards from
the camp , washes along a fine , sandy bottom
tom , and affords n splendid place for bathing.
The wnter is warm enough at this time of
the year to bo very pleasant , and when the
time to come out nrrlvea It Is like pulling
teeth to get thoxboys out of the wnter. The
first dny or so developed severnl fine cases
of sun-burn , nnd sore backs and reddened
necks and arms were quite the fashion.
There can be no doubt that base ball Is
the great American game , and young
America develops Its talents In this direc
tion early. When the present material has
n few moro years to grow the Young Men's
Christian association will have n team which
will show the country how to play ball.
The neighboring stretch of prnlrio makes n
fine ball field , and the exciting games that
take place there would make the Charles
street bleachers howl with glee nnd Sandy
Grlswold's pencil grow dull In writing Its
praises. Later several games are to be
arranged with West Point teams.
Kerren's lake , on the other side of the"
camp , affords nn excellent place for boating
and fishing. The West Point people have
put several good boats at the disposal of
the Young Men's Christian association camp ,
and the youthful oarsmen have explored
the lake from end to end. There are bans ,
perch and sunflsh In the water Just waitIng -
Ing to bo caught. July , however , Is a poor
month for fish , nnd the Isnak Waltons have
not been over successful , so nil fish stories
which nro brought home nre to bo taken
at n discount. As soon ns the game law
limit expires there will bo splendid qunll
and prairie chicken shooting In this vicin
ity. The low banks along the lake nro
full of plover , too , so when the older party
conies they will find good targets for their
guns.
The genius small boy has a happy faculty
for dubbing every one with a nickname ,
and within two days the whole camp was
labeled. Secretary Ober , of course , was
dubbed "the Old Man , " and Secretary Doane
of Lincoln , who had brought an old uniform
with him , was Immediately put down as
"tho Tin Soldier. " One of the Lincoln boys
was named "Penitentiary" and a Blair boy
"Keely Cure. " George Doane , whose back
wns about blistered by the sun , was ap
propriately called "General Burnsldes , "
wh'lo Will Bedford Inhoritcd his father's
nnme , "Jeff. " One fellow's tremendous de
sire to work got him the nickname of "Do
Little. " Ben Cotton's name was changed to
"Wool. " Among some of the other newly
acquired titles were "Doctor , " "Baboon , "
"Hull Head , " "Blair , " "Fiend , " "Big
Mouth , " "Sandy" and "Colonel. "
The members of the camp are : Secretary
Ober of the Omaha Young Men's Christian
association , Secretary Doane of the Lincoln
Young Men's Christian associa
tion , Montgomery Case , Robert Knode ,
Frank Fahr , Walter Roberts , Guy
Hardy , Ray Rlddell , Ben Cotton ,
George Doano , Will Bedford , of Omaha ; John
Klnney. Will Wilkinson , Stanley Osborne , of
Blair ; Fred Rohlendcr , Walter nnd Burr
Lasch and John E. Hill. Jr. , of Lincoln. This
pirty will stay until July 27 , when It will
be succeeded by a second party of boys rang
ing In ago from 16 to 21 years. They In turn
will stay ten days and give way to a third
party , composed of young men. These par
ties will find a camp already established nnd
In good running order. They will hnvo none
of the Inconveniences of making n beginning.
The spot selected Is ono of the prettiest
places In the state and an almoso Ideal ono
for a summer camp. The tax for the tntlro
trip for ten days , Including railroad fare , Is
$10. In all probability quite a number of
young men will take ndvantage of this oppor
tunity for a pleasant summer jilting.c. .

' 'My suggestion is that -national law
should be passed allowing railroads , or
compelling them , to require each person
employed In the actual movement of trains ,
either as switchman , trainman , fireman , or
engineer , to enlist by signing enlistment
papers for a given term of service nt n
given rnte of wages ; not a mere commercial
contract , but ono having Imprisonment pen
alties attached , substantially the same as
those enforced under national army regula
tions and marine laws , tempered , of course ,
with humanitarian provisions , such ns dis
charge from the service nt any time upon
certain conditions agreeable to both rail
road and employe , the period of enlistment
to run for not less than six months nor
more tluui three years.whlch will not allow a
large number of men to leave at any one
time. The benefit to railroads Is obvious ,
and , no less so to the employed , as they
are guaranteed a stipulated rate of pay
for a given time ; they nre also protected
against the consequences now so serious ,
in a money way , In their effort to protect
themselves. Desertion will be punishable
by Imprisonment ; Imprisonment Is first of
all ns a preventive of contract breaking.
Unanimity of railroads could , no dopbt ,
secure such a law.
"Laws are now In force to protect the
public against discrimination and loss by
reason of unequal freight nnd passenger
rates nnd advantages , but not against the
greater loss to them occasioned by strikes ,
icnce we may nesume that approval rather
.ban opposition to such a law would come
from that source.
"With such a law In effect the would-be
railroad employe Is allowed to do his strllc-
ng for a particular salary before he enters
the company's service , with quite ns good
> respects of success as under the existing
order of things , and without Inflicting loss
ipon the country at large. Again , the dis
position of any mnn to strlko for nn un-
enaonable advantage before he Is In n po
sition to cripple n common carrier Is less
pronounced than after he Is placet ! In such
a position.
"Our railroads must , from the very na
ture of the service they perform for the
country , be placed side by aide with the
United Stnes nrmy , navy and marine ship
ping. EO far aa laws bearing upon the right
to strike , desert or boycott nre concerned ,
and therefore , logically and In Justice to
all , laws fixing the period of service , penal
ties , etc. , should be the same for one form
of service as the other. "
