Cripple Creek, June absolute qui-
ct reigns throughout the camp tonight.
Not a deputy has put in an appear
ance. The strikers, however, have re-
doubled their vigilance in guarding
their stronghold on Bull hill. Four
lines of pickets guard every road and
trail leading from this city to the noun
tains and the guards extend down to
the Canyon City and Florence roads
for a distance of twelve miles.
The same is true Of the Cheyenne
canyon road to Colorado Springs. Pick
cts are also stationed as far as Midland
and beyond. and it will be next to i'm
possible for the deputies to surprise
the strikers.
| At Altman, the stronghold Of the min
ers, the strictest military rule is en-
forced. All the saloons are under lock
and key, but by some means some of
the strikers procured small amount
of whiskey and became slightly intox-
icated. General johnson, who has
charge of the military forces, upon be-
II ing informed of the doings of the men,
caused them to be put in the guard
| house Immediately.
| The opinion is generally held that the
strikers have lost sight of any effect
Governor Waite's visit may have had,
and that they intend to fight, as they
feel confident of routing deputies.
! Considerable excitement was created
| today by the appearance of six armed
strikers, the first to come into the city,
and the subsequent shooting of Ed
Smith, a drunken railroad employee,
by policeman. Smith will die.
