seuFy room and the ill cooked food,
which was all her meager capital could
furnish, the sense Of bewilderment
which never forsook her day or night.
The shock she had received at the news
of the death Of her benefactress, and,
above all, the longing for her village
home, where every face was familiar
and friendly-all this was locked Sc
curely In her own breast.
Little time however, was left her Sor
lamenting. The realities of existence
faced her. The little farm, which in
her fathers lifetime had furnished them
by his unceasing efforts with scanty
sustenance, now lay barren and unpro-
ductiye. The only thing she could do
was to dispose Of the land at a sacrifice,
which she did, and with the meager
sum obtained lived on frugally while
she weighed plan after plan for e.rning
her daily bread. To go about from house
to house sewing, nursing, ETC., was re-
pugnant to her. She hated to place her
self in position Of dependence to those
who were her interiors. but she must
live, and day after day she sat with hands
slightly clasped waiting for inspiration.
One morning, with smile of salts

pasteboard outside her front room win

ELEVEN MINERS KILLED
BLOWN TO ATOMS BY CRIPPLE
CREEK STRIKERS.
Reign of Terror in the Colorado Mining
Camp-Eighteen Deputy SherIffs Cap
tnred and Disarmed by Women
Strikers Behind Intrenched Barricades.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col. May Co
Eleven men killed, with a strong
probability that the number of dead
will be increased when all is known,
is the record of the first day OF trouble
here, although real fighting has not
yet begun, as the deputies are await
ing reinforcements before beginning
active operations.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
eleven 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 S25, 900 and then dropped 100
pounds of giant powder down the
shaft which was also exploded, kill
ing all the inmates. Not more than
300 yards from the Strong shaft house,
sixteen men, who had been engaged
to go to work in the independence
mine, were surrounded in their bunk
house, and after long parley agreed
to surrender. Each one was armed
with rifle and brace of revolvers,
of the strikers.
fully 1000 people reside, reign of
terror exists. Within half q mile of
the corporation limits of the town, all
day long fully 800 union men, armed
with rifles, have paraded up and down
the side of the hill. Occasionally a
detour into the village would be
made, and people whom the miners
thought to be Objectionable were Or
dered to leave the place.
The guards from Denver, upon ar
rival at Victor, went into cam p on
neighb boring hill. The strikers threw
out picket line entirely surrounding
them, but at distance that guaran-
tees them safety from the deputie s
rifles.
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 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. Consid~
erable ammunition is stored there,
and also a quantity of provisions, but.
there is no water. Whole kegs of
blasting powder have been stored in
the barricade, and there is no telling
to what desperate extreme the men
may go.
The capture and disarming of depu-
ties, mum mbering eighteen, was accom-
plished by women, and ever since two
of the women have been holding high
court in a saloon where the strikers
heap congratulations upon them.
Two wagons loaded with powder
and cartridges for one of the mines
were captured by the strikers and
their contents confiscated.

Deputies and Lawless Miners Collide
and Fierce Fight Follows.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, May 25.-About l.
o'clock last night 1000 strikers from
Lucyville, Fayette City, Freeport,
Allenport and many other points on
the Monongahela river, some armed,
but the majority not, gathered at the
Sickle Hollow coke plants to try to
force the workmen there out. At 3
o'clock all went to the public road
leading to the works, over which the
workmen would have to pass to the
pit. Here they formed line to inter-
cept the workmen. Camp fires were
built and scouting parties were sent
to keep close watch upon the plants.
The force of deputies was doubled,
all the available men in the COM
munity being sworn in.
The first body of miners was, after
little persuasion, induced to join
the strike. Then the deputies rushed
into the midst of the men, got posses
sion of the workmen and marched
them to the pit.
Just then deputy sheriff fired a
shot, and with this as signal, volley
after volley was fired by each side at
close range. The strikers stood their
ground for time, but their ammuni-
tion giving out, and it requiring too
much time to load the shotguns, they
finally fed to escape the rain of bull
lets from the fifty Winchesters.
1t is report that five strikers were
left dead on the field and eight were
wounded while three deputies were
wounded

was an importunote subscription to
some charity entertainment and
started tC donate, when the robber
pointed his Winchester at him and
told him to hold up.
The other robber rushed into the
side wire door and grabbed the cash.
Tom Clemmons and the other bank
officials were ordered to hold up their
hands. The robbers hurriedly emptied
the vaults, securing $1,000 in $40 bills
numbered O. and nine $50 bills num-
bered 90, and seven unsigned Long
view bank notes, which may lead to
detection. While this was going on
two of the robbers were in the alley
in the rear of the bank shooting at
everybody who appeared and were
being fired at by City Marshal Muck

The firing made the robbers in the
bark very nervous, and they hurried
the bank officials out and told them to

ran around the corner with several
shots after them.
George Buckingham, who was shoot

killed; while he was down the robbers
shot at him several times.
City Marshal Muckley, who was
shooting at another robber, received a
Winchester ball in the bowels. The
ball glanced from some silver dollars
he had in his pocket, which may save
his life.

out in the alley and was shot in the

REFORMS IN ASSESSMENTS.
Missouri County Assessors Vote to Change
the Present System Materially.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May a.
Soon after the state conven-
tion of assessors met yester-
day, the committees appointed
to recommend changes in the revenue
and assessment laws, submitted a re-
port which was unanimously adopted
by the forty-four assessors present.
This provided that the insurance COM
panieS should make the reports on or
before February / of each year; that
merchants and manufacturers should
be assessed by the assessors and the
assessment be passed upon by the local
boards of equalization; that the
length of the official term of assessors
should be changed from two to four
years; that the law giving to counties
of 10000 inhabitants and over record
of mortgages, etc. should be changed
so as to provide such a record
for all counties; that all town lots
should be assessed and valued separ-
ately.

assist each other in securing a COM
plete list of mortgages and deeds of
trust subject To taxation SO that per-
sons living in one county and holding
mortgages in another could not hide
Sucn property SO as TO escape taxation,
A resolution was adopted that the
cash value of any property was what
in cash money it would bring June l
should the owner desire to convert it
into cash.

lature to enact a law that should force

adopted.

effected by electing the following
officers for the ensuing year: !. w.
