The militia sent to Cripple Creek
were ordered home by the governor
on Monday. At 10 o'clock in the
morning he arrived at this decision
upon the advice Of General Tarsncy.
Governor Waite condemned Sheriff
Bowers strongly. He charged the
sheriff with having misrepresented
the situation to him. The sheriff
wanted the militia to assist in serving
writs, and the governor said they
should not do this nor should they be
used in guarding property.
When the order for the return
reached Cripple Creek the business
men began to protest and delegation
left during the day to visit Denver
and demonstrate with his e1cellency.
They reached the capital at midnight
and strongly urged the governor to re-
scind his order, but he was obdurate.
In view of this determination the
committee asked for arms and am.
munitio and they were promised
them.
The governor was indignant at the
officers for the delay in returning to
Denver. They finally promised to get
away at I o'clock on Tuesday morning.
There was no disturbance at the
camp Monday. Sheriff Bowers swore
out twenty-five more informationa
against miners and intended to serve
them on Tu esday.

The Union Depot at Denver wai
burned down the morning Of the 18th
The Are started shortly after midnight
The origin Of the are is supposed ts
be from detached live electric wire
Early in the evening two Of the wire'
in the ladies' waiting room suddenly
broke, letting the arc lights to the
floor. As no particular damage VA,
done little WAS thought Of the occur
renee. The officials at the depot can
ascribe no other cause than this.
The FIRE was discovered by the night
hands, in the western wing, in the
second story and above the baggage
room. 1t was hoped for short time
that it could be checked and the dam
age confined to that portion OF the
building. The employees attempted ts
put out the FIRE and did not call the
department promptly.
The Offices where the confagration
had its inception are occupied by the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. This
part of the building was soon mass oi
flames. But apparently no progres'
was made in the uneven fight.
The material used in the building
was Of an in fiammable character, e1'
cept the stone walls.
There were many narrow escape'
from death by the fremen, and each
new experience of this nature was re-
ceived with hush Of awe by the spec
tators and shout Of rejoicing when {
huge timber in flames missed the per
son Of some firemen.
As the flames greedily spread from
one apartment to another, it seemed to
the spectator Of the lurid scene as
though it was but the burning Of toy
paper house.
Every railroad employe was pressed
into the service and nearly all the bag
gage stored in the rooms below was
quickly removed on trucks or carried
out upon the tracks.
The most trouble was experienced
in the attempt to save the records in
the Offices. This met with only par
tial success. Books and papers were
thrown out of the windows recklessly
and out of the wreck many documents
were saved. There were, however,
Offices in which the loss was complete
and in others the swiftly moving
flames and the smoke made it impossi
Bile even to enter the door.
The building was owned by the
UnionDepot company, four fifths Of the
stock in which was held by the Unior
Pacific and one-ffth by the Rio Grande
The building cost about $500, 900 ant
was insured for $l25, 900. The depo
will be rebuilt Immediately. 1t is hoped
that the old walls can be utilized.
A few rooms can still be used ant
temporary arrangements will be mad,
until the new building is ready.

Congressman Bell has requested the
publication Of the following letter:
I'VE have been receiving letters for
a number of weeks asking an exten-
sion Of the so-called Bell mining ex-
tension bill for the year 1894, and
have been making the following re-
ply:
"The original bill last year provided
for 1893 and 1894 The provision ex-
tending it to 1894 met with great op-
position, as it was said that numerous
gold mining claims were being located
the assessments on which will be due
in 1894, and that as gold has not fallen
there would be no reason for favors on
gold claims, and, therefore, in order
to insure the act for 1893 l went be-
fore the committee and had 1894
stricken out.
at would be practically impossible
to separate the gold claims from the
silver claims in any statute.
81 will submit your proposition te
the miners, and if they, or majority
of them, desire an extension | viii.
press it again, though l am afraid that
it will be little difficult now to ac
com plish an extension
81 wish all miners, prospectors and
miners unions would take up this mat
ter and decide for themselves whether
it will be of the greatest good to the
greatest number to extend for this year
the act referred to and let me know as
early as possible.

A DAM GIVES WAY.
A Disastsr Caused In Idaho by Heavy
RAlns.

n D14Aotof Caused In IdhhO by Heavy
Rains.
News was received in Boise Thurs.
day evening that the Indian Greek
reservoir had broken its barriers and
that food of water was sweeping
down upon ranches and villages, car
rying destruction and ruin in its path.
This reservoir was constructed OF
solid mas nry at the head Of Indian
creek, and was heretofore thought 10
be a veritable Gibralt ar. Hyde. &
Jackson, New York capitalists, backed
the enterprise and built it as water
supply for their celebrated orchard
farm Of $40 acres that recently was set
out in Idaho prunes and bonded for
$50, 1000. The reservoir covered 500
acres Of land and was said to contain
water sufficient to irrigate many thou.
sand acres. 1t cost $50, 900 to build
it.
This magnificent enterprise wa,
swept away in a day, and is now q
mass of ruins. The country between
Bysuks and Caldwell is all under
water. Every railroad bridge between
Nampa and Bysuka is washed out and
many miles Of railroad track is sub
merged, which will prevent trains
from running over the Short Line for
many days.
The dam broke about noon and
messengers were sent at breakneck
speed on horseback to warn settlers
and urge families to hasten to place
Of safety.
A mighty wall Of water came sweep
ing down Indian creek, bearing on its
bosom houses, sheep, calves, barns,
farming utensils and submerging whole
farms.
Citizens Of Napa, little town on
the Short Line, saw the approach Of
the devastating waters and fed to high
ground. Soon all the lower part Of
the town and railroad side track was
under water from five to twenty feet
deep. Fifty houses, at least, are ruined.
and many families are without shelter
and bedding. Merchants are loaning
blankets to destitute families and pro-
visions are being furnished to those in
need.
1t is reported here that two men were
drowned, one while attempting to save
his property, and another who rushed
10 his assistance.
The cause of the disaster was the
sudden turn Of warm weather, coupled
with heavy rains, which caused q
rapid melting Of the snow in the noun
tains.

western railroad, which runs between

There are five postofiices on the road
and only two can be reached by any
other line. The order to abandon the
road came from 5, II. II. CLARK, chair
man of the Union Pacific board of re-
ceivers, the board refusing to longer
pay operating expenses when the re-
ceipts amounted to so little. The en-
ployes have not been paid for two
months. The road has never paid in

The trouble over the time schedule
at Cripple Creek has not been settled,
by any means On the 18th num-
Der of mines started up on the basis Of
S3. 90 for nine hours work. An in
junction had been first obtained from
the District court forbidding the Min
ers' Union from interfering, and no.
tices to that effect were posted about
the camp. Sheriff Bowers swore in a
number of deputies who were posted at
the mines which wished to work to
protect them.
No interference was reported until
Friday evening, when large party Of
striking miners captured six deputies,
who were on guard on Bull Hill. They
were taken to Altman and arraigned
before the police magistrate charged
with carrying concealed weapons
They were discharged and returned to
Cripple Creek. One of the deputies
was wounded. The sheriff fear
