Eleven Men Reported to Have Been Blown
Up in Mine by Colorado Strikers-Ugiy
State of Affairs.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 2e.-Eleven
men killed, with strong probability
that the number of dead will be in
creased when all is known, is the
record of the first day of trouble here,
although real fighting has not yet be-
gun, as the deputies are awaiting rein
forcements before beginning active
operations.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning elev-
en- men started to work in the Strong
mine on Battle mountain. Shortly
afterward party of strikers blew up
the shaft house, causing a loss of $685.
600, and then dropped 700 pounds of
giant powder down the shaft, which
was also exploded killing all the in
mates. Not more than 800 yards from
the Strong shaft house, sixteen men,
who had been engaged to go to work
in the Independence mine, were sur
long parley agreed to surrender.
Each one was armed with rife and a
brace of revolvers, the arms now being
in the possession of the strikers.
At Victor, miles away, where fully
1000 people reside, a reign of terror
exists. Within half mile of the COR
poration limits of the town, all day
long fully 800 union miners. armed
with rifles, have paraded up and down
the side of the hill. Occasionally de-
tour into the village would be made,
and people whom the miners thought
to be Objectionable were ordered to
leave the place
The special train bearing $50 armed
deputies reached Victor about 10
o'clock yesterday morning. The depu-
ties were Immediately surrounded by
400 miners. A pitched battle ensued
in which the deputies took refuge be-
hind the rocks. The deputies finally
proceeded to the Independence mine
and secured possession, where they are
besieged by a part of the miners.
At the summit of Bull hill, but 500
feet away from the Victor property,
the miners have barricade of logs
and broken rock. which is supplied
with loopholes and ladders. Consider
able ammunition is stored there, and
also quantity of provisions, but there
is no water. Whole kegs of blasting
powder have been stored in the barri-
eade, and there is no telling to what
desperate extreme the men may GO.
Two wagons loaded with powder and
cartridges for one of the mines were
captured by the strikers and their con-
tents cOnfiScated

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Reed DevOting His Time to a Study of the
Financial Problem.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Ex-Speaker
Reed is devoting his spare hours to an
exhaustive study of the silver ques-
ton. He is not studying one side of it,
either. AS opportunity has occurred
recently Mr.. Reed has engaged Mr..
Bland in conversation and has
prompted discussion in order to bring
out the Missourian's views as to the
immediate future of the issue. Sena-
tor Quay believes that the tariff will
be a. secondary matter in the next
presidential campaign, and that the
financial issue will be the one on which
the two parties will make their chief
contention. Mr. Reed does not go SO
far as Senator Quay, but he is giving a

Bicycles for Letter Carriers.

CHICAGO, May 26.-Postmaster Hes
ing, finding that few of the letter car
riers who own and use bicycles can
make better time over their routes than
their companions, who walk and use
street cars when occasion offers, has
decided to ask the department to per-
NIT portion of the appropriation for
car fare, which amounts to over $50, GOO
a year, to help the carriers in the out
lying districts to procure bicycles. 1t
is not the intention of the post Office
authorities to purchase the wheels for
the men, but to assist them in the pur-
chase, the money to be finally returned
to the government in inStallmentS.

protectinr cotto1ene.

The N K. Fairbank Company of Chi
cago have lately brought suit in the United
States Court against w. L. Henry, of this
city, for $4,000 for infringement of their
trade mark s'Cottolene-' The N K Fair
bank Company sets forth that they origi-
mated, prepared, and put upon the market
q new food product consisting OF refined
Cotton Seed Oil and small proportion OF
Beef Suet, making pale yellow material OF
the consistency and substance OF lard. al
most without odor and intended to take the
place of lard in cooking.
In order TO indicate the source and gen
uineneSS of their new food product, they
originated, coined, and used as a trade mark
the word ssCottolene." The healthfulness
and many other advantages of Cottolene
over lard We're so apparent that Cottolene
became at once very popular and Is row
largely sold all over the country.
The new food product and its name SCOT
tolene'' have become widely known as the
product of The N. K Fairbank Company
The trade mark is described as q ''trade
mark for Oleaginous Food Substances,
&c" consisting of a head or neck OF a
Steer or other bovine partially enclosed by
sprigs and branches OF the Cotton plant"
The N. K Fairbank Company charges
in fresh meats and food products generally,
has been and is endeavorlng unlawfuliy to
avail himself of the benefits OF the name
''Cottolene'' and its popularity: that he has
been and is selling product similar IN kind,
but inferior in quality, under the name OF
''Cottolene" to the injury OF the original
and genuine ''Cotuolene,n and to the loss
and injury of its manufacturers The n. K
Fairbank Company.
The infringementS upon the trade mark OF
''COttolene' have become SO frequent, and
so many dealers are selling an inferior
article and claiming it to be Cottolene that
The N. K Fairbank Company are deter
mined to protect their customers and pro-
pose to sue every retail dealer who Is thus
imposing upon his customers and infringing
upon The n. K. Fairbank Company's trade
mark.-Tele0rdph, Macon, Ga.
