been circulated about Beckwith. Quinn 4
Co.
Marshal Carr has sent six deputy mar
shals to this place. They have also been
given the powers of deputy sherifs. They
expect to stay here for three months.
Twenty-Five houses have been put up,
ten are finished, and in all sixty houses
will be finished in about three weeks. 1t
begins to look as if the Chinese would
occupy them.
Some malicious papers have been circu-
lating the story that Mr.. Tisdel has been
insulted in the streets by the men. In
justice to both Mr.. Tisdel and the men
we would say that not a disrespectful or
threatening word has been offered Mr..
Tisdel during the whole of these troubles.

Saturday several hundred notices were
sent around to all the men employed by
the coal department, except those dis
charged, that mines Nos. l, 3, ! and 5
would resume on Monday morning, and
that all miners and other employees were
expected to be in their places ready for
work. The notice also contained a tele-
gram from Manager Galloway which said
that all men not then at work would be
paid off and could never again be en-
ployed by the company in any capacity,
Of the $50 white miners employed, not a
single one responded by going to work
Monday morning Nearly all the outside
men went to work and about s~eventy-ive
Cinnamon started in, there being a grad
ual increase in their numbers since then,
as they got tools and places to work.
Tuesday notices were posted up that all
those who were discharged or had dis
charged themselves by not going to
work Monday would be passed
to any point on the Union Pacific railway
until Saturday, when that offer would be
closed. TIP to the present ten have taken
up this offer and left. The reason the
men did not go to work, as they explain,
is that there is no certainty they would be
kept; they determined to all stand or fall
together, and lastly they expected the
employees on the road to take up thor
cause and join a general strike from Omaha
to Ogden. A good many advised that the
men go to work, and when the strike
came they could all 90 out together. Ifa
strike did not occur the men would not be
out of a job, and there are many of them
with families who have not a dollar to
fall back upon, and whose families would
suffer if they were out of work for any
length Of time.
