They Dis uss the Albion Situation
In Very Expressive Terms.
The committee Of attaching creditors OF
the Albion Company met in conference
with a committee Of the miners (lien
holders) last evening att O'Clock. At the
meeting, it seems, nothing was accom-
plished. About half-past 9 O'Clock the min
ers held a meeting on their own accountin
the Courthouse. Some one hundred and
fifty were present. O. l.. Murphy called
the meeting to order and proposed James
E. Parker for Chairman. He was elected
and took his seat. The usual Secretary
was dispensed with. The Chair appointed
two Sergeants.at-Arms. A motion was
made, and carried, to exclude all out
siders. Of whom a good many were pres
ent. Among these was q SENTINEL
reporter, who joined the exodus, but
before he had got out into the night air
the motion had been amended 80 a. to
allow him to remain.
@, l.. Murphy, one Of the lien holders
committee Of Ave, reported the result Of
their conference with the attaching cred
itors' committee. He said l.. L. Robin
son was present, and stated that his
books were in such plight he could tell
nothing about the affairs in hand and
asked for p~ostponement until Z o'clock
yesterday evening. At that time the
meeting was held, when We found Thai
nothing conclusive had been arrived at;
that, in fact, we were no further advanced
in getting our rights than we were q week
ago. These attaching creditors are dodg-
ing US. They Won't go down in their
pockets for the cents to put up. There Is
no alternative for US. We must close
down the institution. We must take imme-
diate action. All corporations resort to
technicalities Of law to defraud the poor,
whom they call "horde" and "rabble,"
and defraud them OF their hard earned
wages. Let us stick up for what il due
sell your souls and bodies for 80 cents;
that would le. these Shylock merchants
about own play you for q reduction OF IS
| or SO per cent Of what is justly coming to
you. say let us stand out for all that Ia
| due us, and not take q cent less. We
| should determine to have all that the
| company owes us. We want that no
more nor less. The speaker was frequent
Us. Green spoke to the same effect. He
| had attended the conference. LII. Rob.
inson was present and said he could not
pay OF the mines indebtedness. indtvid-
| usl!y. There was some S21 900 worth OF
convertible personal property, which would
come within $l1 900 of paying on the liens.
He would pay his pro rata OF this balance
il the other trustees of the company would
do likewise. 1t was reported, be said, that
he had made money out OF Albion stock,
but on the contrary he had lost $4,000 in
it. This statement, gentlemen, you can
take for what it is worth.
r. James spoke in q firm u conserva-
tive tone in the same vein agreeing with the
two speakers preceding him, that the only
way for the miners to get their money was
to take possession Of the mines personal
property and dispose Of 1t 70 nquidats
their claims at once. He said there was
property OF this GLASS more than . plenty
10 cover the liens-3s0. 600 worth. ct least.
while the miners claims did not exceed
aS8. 600.
THE following resolution was then adopt
cd, That Q com mittee Of Ave be appoint
ed to engage an attorney to look after our
interests In the disposal OF the property OF
the Albion Mining Company to liquldate
their indebtedness to US at the eaFilesE
possible moment.
During a recess Of five minutes the min
ers present signed a roll, pledging them
selves to the resolution. .,,,
