The great gathering of 1000 coal
miners at Rouse had the desired effec,
in bringing out the men who had been
at work there. Two hundred Of them
quit work Tuesday and it was stated
the others would quit the next day.
The great meeting was held as an
nouneed. General Tarsney was the
chief speaker He read letter from
Governor Waite. The letter stated
that the governor was not in favor OF
strikes but that there was no excuse
for the mine companies not paying
the men promptly. He advised the
men to elec, Populist legislature to

LYNCHING AT GOLDEN.
Alexander MeCardv Meets . Worse Ysts
Than His Victim.


The herrible crime committed By
Alexander McCurdy Of Golden against
his step-brother, Arthur Berry, has
been avenged. AT an early hour Sat
urday morning MeCurdy was taken
from jail by n strong band of men, and
after being accorded the same treat
ment which he had inflicted upon his
victim, was lynched from a bridge
across Clear Creek.
twill be remembered that McCurdy
mutilated Berry because the latter had
been intimate with Mrs. McCurdy.
AT least Berry was charged with the
crime by Mrs. McCurdy. The people
of Golden were very indignant at Nc
Curdy at the time he mutilated Berry
and apparently the feeling was not al
layed by his recent conviction Of may
hem and his sentence to three years in
the penitentiary.
Sheriff George Kelly was notified Of
what was going on but did not reach
the bridge until too late to save Nc
Curdy. He did succeed in taking
as prisoners two men whom they had
posted as guards. These men were
conveyed to the Jail, but recently the
scene of SO horrible an occurrence.
They were John Richweine and John
Koch, and they were quickly persuad-
ed to furnish the sheriff with the
names Of all their comrades, none Of
whom Jailer Kerr had been able to
recognize on account Of their masks.

The Arkansas, Platte, clear SfeeS s"N
other Streams Do Great Damage
The eastern and central parts of Col
orado were visited by heavy rains on
the Both and 3lst So heavy was the
fall that all the creeks were swollen to
the point of danger and numerous
washouts are reported. The Arkansas
was very high, and did considerable
damage in the vicinity of Pueblo
Trains on many roads were tied up by
the foods.
The waters at Pueblo began to re-
cede Thursday, and the property loss
is believed to be less than at first
thought, 1t will, however, amount to
slOO. 900. 1t was found that at least
three men were drowned.
The Platte began to boom Thursday
and was playing the mischief before
night. At times the volume was 300
feet per second through the rocky
walls of the canon. When it struck
the low lands it spread and created de-
vastation for miles and miles 1t was
dreadful night in the bottoms, and
all night long, while the surging,
foaming waters tore away bridges,
people moved out of their submerged
homes and sought safety in other parts
of the city. There were many narrow
escapes, but so far as known only one
life was lost-that of an eight year old
boy.
Every bridge between Valverde and
Larimer street went with the torrents.
Valverde, Weir's addition, jerome
Park, lower Colfax, River front and
part of Globeville were covered with
water ranging from six inches to three
feet in depth. 1t seemed several times
as the water crept higher and higher
up the crumbling banks that many of
the big manufacturing establishments
and other plants along the river would
be filed SO with water that they would
have to suspend operations One
pumping station was abandoned.
About LIS families had to vacate
their homes on account of the high
water.
Clear Greek caused much loss in the
vicinity of Golden, washing away
many bridges.
The Colorado Central suffered seri-
ously from the foods.
The tracks of the Rio Grande were
washed out east of Florence in several
places and passenger train was
blocked at Beaver station.
The Home Supply dam near Love
land broke and flooded the water
works and country around.
The Rio Grande road was badly
damaged in the vicinity of Salida
In fact all parts of the mountain
districts were flooded and the railroads
were badly crippled.
