CRIPPLE GREER. Col, June All
day yesterday the striking miners
were on the alert, expecting that at
any moment some of Sheriff Bowers
deputies would put in. an appearance
in some remotc portion of the camp.
Not single miner is working in the
camp. One shift was pnt in on the
Moose, Ellxton, Prince Albert. Gold
Dollar, 1ngham, Jack e., and a few
other properties, but the managers of
the several mines were informed that
it would be impossible to run any of
the properties. The men are now
confident that they will be attacked
some time to-day aud the hour may
be directly after midnight. They are
ready and this is SO well known by the
deputies that the officer commanding
is using the utmost caution.
All men not necessary to guard APP
proaehes to Bull hill and forage for
supplies have been massed alb nut the
fortifioa,ion, and their number is
slightly over l.s0O. Yesterday the
strikers made their last forage for
arms, ammunition and supplies. Fear
ing a siege. they have filled hundreds
them in the fort. Parties have been
drafting recruits. Many of these par
ties were headed by women who
promise to stand till the end comes.
The towns of Victor. Anaconda,
Mound City and other places are in
the possession of squads of armed
tr.ker Cripple Creek is entirely un-
molef I'D by strikers.
The plan of the strikers is to meet
the deputies and make as strong
stand as possible and if necessary re.
treat to Bull hill. where desperate
stand will DO made.
The deputies will be commanded in
the field by W. J. Palmer. leader of
the army that ha | so many scrimmages
during the build ny of the Denver &
Rio Granle road. lie says that any
nom mt the deputies may advance TO
point beyond Midland, after which
battle will be only n question of
hours.
The wives of the strikers refuse TO
leave camp. Some of them have or
ganizcd to care for the wounded and
others have procure Winchss ssters and
will enter the fight.

certainly a cute move and will have q
decided tendency to knock the props

HOW THEY STAND.
A TABULATED STATEMENT OF THE
STRENGTH OF THE GUBEREA-

An Interview With q Gentleman Who Gays
Judge Reagan Will Have to be Handled
Very Carefully at the Dallas Con-
vention as He is Dat gerous.

Much interest is being centered al
present in the action Of the Ealla'
Democratic convention which meets
next month. The principal Interest
necessarily centers around the ques'
ton OF the platform. A politician on
speaking on this matter yesterday
said: "Of course we will endorse
Cleveland, but | doubt exceedingly
much as to whether his financial pol
lev will be backed up. The plan at
present is to let the question OF
finances severely alone for several
reasons. The most important one,
however, and one that l can tell you
about is this: You see, Judge Reagan
is going up to that convention in
q mighty bad humor. know
what am talking about for l got II
from people who know. The judge 10
chatting under the poor race he has
made and he will have to be handled
extremely careful at Dallas or else he
will bolt the convention, and the Lord
knows we don't want any more rup-
lures in our party. The judge is get
ting very touchous even now and
from present indications we are going
to have trouble with him on the
slightest provocatlon. For this rea'
son say that the Dallas convention
will be handled very gingerly on
Cleyeland's financial stand. Mark
my word, and see II l
ann not right in my prophecy.
We all know where the judges stands
on the silver question and we know
he has large following thereon in
the state. l predict that in case he
fails for the Democratic nomination
that he will run on silver ticket that
will not be far removed from Popular
ism. The judge is getting peculiar
and there Is no telling what he will
do If things don't go TO his liking at
Dallas. They certainly can't go that
way and hence repeat / am afraid OF
the judges going to the leeward at
Dallas, but If we can keep him on the
right tack by leaving Cleveland's
financial policy alone we will most
certainly do It,"
