CRIPPLE CREEK lCol.). May 29.-There
has been no change in the situation here.
Deputies, whose numbers are Increased TO
600, are still in camp. The deputies and
strikers are still keeping at safe dis
tance from each other. Both sides are eX-
erting every effort to increase their num-
bers, the strikers using, in some in
stances, loaded Winchesters as argu-
ments. The strikers become bolder and
more insolent every day. All day
the smaller towns are completely sub
iected, and some demonstration has been
made at Cripple Creek. There is nothing
manly in the attitude OF the strikers.
astly outnunbering the male portion OF
the population, and being heavily armed,
they have confiscated nearly all the fire.
arms owned by individuals. Conscious
alike of their own strength and OF the
weakness of the inhabitants, they con-
duct themselves in an overbearing man
ner, and exact conduct on the part of the
inhabitants that is little short of abject
seryitude.
To-day a party entered Mound City and
at the point of Winchesters forced two
union men who believe in the union, but
who do not believe in carrying arms in
violation of the law, TO join them.
The impression is here that this Gues-
ton can be settled only by terrible con-
tiict, and the people anXlously await the
end, whatever it may be. Many dire
rumors are atloat. One is that the miners
intend to capture prominent Cripple
Creek citizens and hold them as hostages.
To the credit OF the strikers, it can be
said that in some OF the camps they have
closed every saloon and placed guards
over them.
The strikers now expect to be attacked
from three different parts, and have
massed their forces at Bull Hill. The two
principal approaches have been under
miDed and large quantity OF dynamite
placed, so that by means OF electricity the
mines can be exploded from The fort.
