CRIPPLE CREEK. May 26.-The
strikers, who are ready to battle with
the armed deputies II any attempt is
made to reopen the mines with non
union men, give the credit of disarming
eleven miners and seven deputies, a
feat accomplished yesterday, to two wo-
men, who are receiving all the honor
due to heroes.
The bunk at the Independence Mine
has been occupied by non-union miners
for over a week. The Sheriff sent guards
to protect them. and there hey re-
manned in the very heart of the strike
district. All efforts to force IN evacua-
ton had been Intellectual.
According to the story told by the
strikers, the women sought admission to
the building, They were allowed to
enter. Then they flourished a revolver
each and commanded the men to throw
up their hands. The men acceded, and
the striking miners. who were near at
hand. appeared. The eighteen men were
disarmed and their arms forfeited. They
were marched by the strikers towards
Cripple Creek and ordered not to appear
in camp again.
Members of the Miners Union posi-
lively deny that any men were killed
by the blowing up OF the shaft-house
at the Strong Mine yesterday. They say
they took the precaution to see that all
the miners came out before applying the
torch to the fuse. and account for the
missing men by saying they left camp
in the night.
