MINERS.
[From the Evening Telegram OF yesterday
LEApvILLK. Col. Nov. 10. 1879.
Leadville is to-day the scene OF great excitement
the old mining days Of California being forcibly re-
called to mind by an occurrence which took place
this morning about o'clock At that hour q
mob. numbering several hundred. attacked the JAIL
and in spite of all obstacles forcibly removed two
of the prisoners. a footpad named stewart and q
Jumper of claims named Frodsc nam. These men
were taken to an adjoining shed and hanged till
dead. Frodscham had an evil name among the
miners with whom in Leadviile. as in all other
mining communities. tho offence of jumping" lots
or claims is one OF the most hoinous.
PREVIOUSLY wAiiSED.
Frodscham had been recently concerned in several
mining ARRAYS growing out OF lot dumping" and
had been notified to leave town. lie was arrested
last night and lodged In Jail for petty offence.
and the Leadvillc miners. hnding their warning TO
him disobcyed, took the summary action stated.

PUBLIC WARMING TO THIEVES.
An immense crowd has surrounded the shed
all day where the two men were hanged a. the
bodies remained suspended tn late in the after
noon. Tho policemen who are on duty permit each
newcomer to take a look at the bodies. and then
compel him to leave after his curiosity has been
satisfied. A placard OF warning hangs around
tho neck of Frodschan. ON which 10 inscribed.--

The event has produced the most profound exite-
mcnt among all classes OF people, some deprecating
tho action OF tho mob and being unwilling TO SEQ

evil doors without due compliance with all Judicial
forms, while others. mostly OF the old school Of
miners believe in summary retributon for offences
like those OF Stewart and Frcdscham. Tho crimes
of each these such appeal very strongly
to the feelings of mining community, and IL seems
by the placard Affixed to Frodscham's neck that the
miners intend that the warning they gave 10 him TO
public to act as a terror to Of that class. No
action the matter has yet been taken BY tho legal
authorities.
