A BIG FAILURE.
the Largest Mercantile House In st.
Joseph, Mo-, Goes UnGerA
Run on the Banks

st. Joseph, Mo-, June 4.-Steel & Walker,
the largest wholesale grocery. house on
the Missouri river, has gone into the
hands of trustee. The failure grew out
of the recent failure of A. N. Schuster g.
Co. The liabilities and assets are large,
but are not yet known.
Great crowds are around the First
National and Central Savings banks,
both Of which were largely owned by
men interested in the Schuster and Steel
d Walker failures. Both banks are hold
ing time deposits.
The liabilities of the firm are placed at
$725,OOO and it is claimed the assets will
exceed this amount by a good sum. In
making the assignment nothing was re-
served except the homestead of Mr..
Steel, both the Walkers conveying their
residence property to secure the liablli-
ties.
The firm was composed of d. M. Steel,
s. A. Walker and j. W. Walker and has
been regarded az one of the strongest in
the west, D. NJ. Steel having been rated at
from $750,000 to $1,O00,00o.
THE BANKS BEING PRESSED.
The failure is the result of lack of con-
fidence. At the time of the Steele failure
several weeks ago when it became known
that he was heavy debtor to the First
National bank in which bank Steele g.
Walker were both large holders the credit
ors of the latter firm began pressing their
claims and the failure of this morning
was the result. When 1t was announced
to- day that the firm had made an assign
ment run commenced on the First
National and Central Savings banks, in
both of which Steele & Walker were large
stockholders.
Considerable excitement was caused by
the run and thousands of dollars were
drawn out shortly after the opening hour.
In the case of the Savings bank the de-
positor was allowed to draw out only $50,
the thirty day rule being enforced on all
checks for larger amount. At noon
when it became known that the banks had
plenty of money the crowds of depositors
dwindled to few dozen, whereas before
this time the line extended far out into
the street. It is claimed that both banks
will pull through, and it is hardly likely
that the run will extend TO any other
bank or last longer than to-day.
BRANCH HOUSE sUspENDs.
Wichita, Kas.-Steele & Walkers branch

count of the failure of the st. Joseph

PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
La Junta, Colo.-A Gatllng gun, 200
Winchesters and dozen large boxes of
ammunition from Chicago passed through
here to-day for the use of deputy sheriffs
at Cripple Greek. Fifty Remingtons and
$4,000 cartridges went through last week.
CONFLICT PROBABLY OCCURRED.
Denver.-It is impossible to learn
definitely whether or not the deputies who
have been assembling at Divide have
moved forward to-day for an attack on
the miners who hold Bull hill and all its
approaches, but a report from Cripple
Creek says that they have done so is gene
rally credited, and it is believed that the
inevitable conflict will occur within few
hours. The telegraph operators at Divide
and Midland in reply to an inquiry said:
"I can not tell" The telegraph offices are
in the hands of deputies who will allow
no message to be sent, except such as
they approve.

The Striking Coal Miners Refuse TO
Surrender-ResOrt to Dynamite
New York Contractors
Importing Coal.

St. Louis, June 4.--Word comes from
Hillsboro, Ills, that a large proportion
of the miners there returned to work this
morning and everything is peaceful.
WON'T OBEY THEIR LEADER.
Martins Ferry, Ohio.-Violence con-
tinues in the coal fields on the Cleveland,
Lorraine g. Wheeling railroad. The situa-
tion is growing more serious and train
men are afraid Of their lives. The rail
road officials arrived to-day and say that
no effort will be made to run coal trains
before evening. The strikers ignore
President McBride's order and propose to
stop all coal trains. 1t looks as if the
militia alono can cope with them, as many
are armed and bloodshed is predicted be-
fore the trouble is ended.
WILL PROBABLY COLLAPSE,
Baltimore.-Unless the Consolidated
Coal company's workmen can be induced
to join the strikers, which is considered
unlikely, there is a strong probability
that the miners strike in the Maryland
coal fields will collapse.
USING DYNAMITE.
Sullivan, Ind.-The miners at Shelburn
made an attempt to blow up a bridge
about mile north of town with dyna-
mite to-day. The work was not we'll done
and the damage has been repaired. The
militia are in camp here and will escort
the afternoon north bound train.
SHERIFF DEMANDS TROOPS.
Denver.-Sheriff Radford, of Las Ami
mas county, has made demand on Gov.
Waite for troops. He says 800 coal
miners are making threatening demon
strations at camps in that county, and
that his forces are inadequate to control
them.
LARGE MASS MEETING.
Wellston, Ohio. The largest mass meet
ing of miners ever seen here has gone
into session after a parade showing the
number of miners to be $500. The lead
ing matter to be considered is the hauling
of non-union COAL
IMPORTING COAL FROM WALES.
New York.-Four thousand tons of
coal from Cardiff, Wales, was brought
into port to-day by the steamer Cynthiana
and consigned to the Brewind White Coal
Co. The coal is for supplying steamers
and is furnished at loss to the contractors
of $3.50 ton. This is in consequence of
the strike in the bituminous coal fields.

THEY WILL FIGHT.
A Conflict Inevitable Between the
Striking Cripple Creek Miners
and Deputy Skeriffs- Officers
Moving ON the Miners
stronghold.

Cripple Creek, June A skirmish
took place at an early hour to-day near
tho Midland toll gate, between three
miners and five deputies, who were sent
out from the main body at Divide as
pickets. Several shots were fred on both
sides. Jack Davis, miner, was shot in
the arm, and deputy was seriously
wounded. The deputies we're forced to
retreat and the miners took Henry E.
Woods, president of the Victor Townsite
company, into custody.
Tho strikers last night seized Clarence
O.Finch, the county superintendent of
schools, and D. E. wilkins, Colorado
Springs school teacher, and they are now
held as prisoners on Bull hill as hostages
for President Calderwood, or any other
miner who may be arrested. John
Schorten, editor of the Cripple Greek
Herald, the organ of the miners union,
has been arrested by the deputies.
A reign of terror exists in this city and
women and children are being removed
to places of safety. The general belief is
that the deputies will advance against the
strikers on Bull hill to-day or tomorrow.
Gen. W. j. Palmer, who built the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad, and has an estab-
llshed reputation as fighter, will be in
command of the deputies army, with
Gen. Charles Adams in direct charge OF
the cavalry. The fighting force on Bull
hill was increased to-day by the arrival OF
seventy eight miners from Fremont
county and now numbers abouJ 1900
men.
There is no sign of any movement on
the part of the deputy sheriffs up to this
hour. The miners are all remaining at
their stronghold on Bull hill. Mr.. H. E
Woods, the man taken in charge by the
miners this morning has just been released
but at this writing has not reached his
home in Victor. The cause of his capture
and detention for SO many hours is still a
mystery.
In spite of the denial from Divide that
the deputies have broken camp, it is
rumored here that they are within six
miles of Bull hill. Couriers who succeeded
in passing the sentries report that the
deputies left Divide early to-day.

Central City, Colo.- Unless trains are
run within two or three days as far rs
Black Hawk there will be much suffering
here for the want Of provisions. The
coal supply is very short and many mines
will have to close down. The Saratoga
will probably be compelled to close per-
manently. Along the creek bed the Gulf
road is washed out for stretches of from
so to 100 feet in places, leaving the ties
and rails Suspended in mid.air. On the
switch-back are several bad landslides and
it will probably be over week before a
train can be run over the road.
