their cainp in tho timber nenr Park's

certainty of dolay suggested tho certain
ty of hunger. And then tho rain enmo.
It fell in torrents for a fow moments and
Boon scattered tho men in search of
shelter.
Shelter Wt Eitremety Source.
Tho militia occupied tho only build
ings in tho vicinity and would not allow
n Kollyito to enter. As a result tho en
tire command was soon drenched. Tho
shower ended, tho Bim camo out wnrm
and bright nnd tho nrmy gathered again,
mud besmeared and bedraggled, and
something of a feeling of desperation de
veloped. General Kelly was in Omnhn,
whoro ho hnd been all day, and his re
turn to camp at nightfall was anxiously
awaited by tho men. When Kelly went
back to camp ho took with him f 100 in
cash and threo wngona loaded wtth pro
visions, subscribed by tho citizens of
Omaha.
Shortly after Kelly's return to camp
rain begnn to fall steadily, and it looked
like tho shower would continue all
night. This rendered tho situation of
tho men almost intolerable.
Four loads of hay furnished by sym
Dathctio farmers wero spread on tho
rain soaked sod, and hero tho men rested,
Hall camo with tho rain and tho misory
of bruises was added to tho suffering of
soaking. Colonel Mount of Sheunudoah
says ho is acting under orders of Gover
nor Jackson and will havo his men shoot
down any Kellyito who attempts to tres
pass on railroad property.
Governor Jackson Criticised.
Quito a sentiment has been developed
in Council Bluffs against Governor Jack
son for his action in calling out the mi
litia. Tho citizens angrily protest that
thoy havo boon put to unnecessary ex
pense. So far thero has been no clash
between tho authorities and Kelly's men
and nono is expected. Papors wcro pre
pared for on application for an order to
restrain tho governor and tho militia
from further interfering with tho nrmy.
Tho papors wcro not filed, however, as
tho expediency of such a movo was
doubted.
