cross ties are being contantly placed on
the track. General W. B. Spillman,
who is in command. had the plainest
orders from Governor McCorkle to
stand no resistance but to move out all
trains at whatever cost. In order to do
this it was found necessary to put
company on every train and keep it
there until Ohio soil was reached.

grave. Over 800 men thronged the
yards which extend practically from

SITUATION AT CRIPPLE CREEK
DENVER. COL. June 10 Governor
Waite Was up early this morning and
was very mad that the deputies in
Cripple Creek should continue to act
in such Il manner as to provoke row.
This thing must be brought to head
pretty soon" he declared
AT 10 o'clock he received telephone
message from General Brooks, who
said: "The sheriff telephones me that
| misunderstood him. He did not ia te
that he could not control them. but
that the condition of affairs might
arise when he could not. l did not 30
understand him, but / am willing to
give him tho benefit of the doubt. His
future conduct must decide my
coures. 70 tu the Incepend-
ence mine this morning as soon
as | can leave to meet Commissioner
B0onton, and the sheriff. and will ad-
wise you Of the result There was des-
tory firing between detachment of
deputies and some miners this morn
ing bnt it soon ceased. 1t was at long
range. II tho mine owners do not take
action TO make the compromise effect
i've, the National guards will have to
stay here all summer, and collision
can hardly be avoided
10 this the governor replied: Re
port from Altman or Victor as soon as
possible the result of the interview.
Let Brooks and Tarnsney advise to-
gether and give me their opinion of the
necessity of declaring martial law.
Command the theriff to move his
deputies to Cripple Creek, their position
before he violated the agreement.
At A o'clock General Tarnsney re.
ported TO the governor that the negot.
iations were lhen in progress to have
the deputies Withdrawn or disbsndcd.
He said the mine owners only wanted
to be assured that they would work
their mines on the agreement.
If these terms can be made,
which Tarnsney thought certain, there
would be in his opinion, no necessity
for more stringent military interven-
tion. Governor Waite readily con-
sented to all this. but added: "Tbe
armed deputies must be removed or
disbanded. Do not sacken your vigil
ance one particle. "
