DESPERATE WEARERS.

Six Hundred Worrying the Union Pacific Ball way. Judge Dundy, of Omaha, telegraphed United States Attorney-General Olney, Wednesday afternoon, for troops to protect the Union Pacific railway from tho Carter commonwealers at Julesburg and Ogallala. There is intense excitement at Julesburg. There are fully six hundred of the Coxeyites there, who are a part of the Carter army, which formed in Utah and stole one train. They are desperate, for they cannot go to Denver, having been sent from there with a farewell supply of provisions. Forty of the army stole a Union Pacific stock train and were sidetracked atOgallala. A Washington dispatch says that Attorney-General Olney will investigate the situation before calling on tlie War Department to send troops. He is opposed to military interference if it can possibly be avoided.
