that point to join in the strike. A battle
occurred between the strikers and
those who have continued at work in
which two men were killed and five
wounded. For some days deputy sher-
ifs have been stationed as guards at the

Eleven Men Blown to Death by Cripple
Creek Miners.
Cripple Creek, May 26.-Eleven men
killed, with the strong reliability 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 dep
uties are awaiting reinforcements before
beginning active operations.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
eleven men started to work in
the Strong mine on Battle Mountain.
Shortly afterwards a large party of
strikers blew up the shaft house with
powder, causing a loss Of $25, 900, and
then dropped 100 pounds of giant
powder down the shaft, which was
also exploded, killing all the inmates.
Not more than 800 yards from the
Strong shaft house sixteen men, who
had been engaged to 60 to work in the
Independence mine, were surrounded
in their bunk house, and after long
parley agreed to surrender. Each one
was armed with rife and brace Of
revolvers. The arms are now in the
possession of the strikers. 1t is ru
mored that the strikers attacked the
Anna Lee mine, overpowering the
guards, after which they blew up the
shaft house, but the rumor Aas not been
verified

La Sale, H., May 26.-The police
have. received information that the
strikers have been holding a secret
meeting to-day, in which they planned
an attack on the military for tonight.
The militia is located in fine

opposing force is too strong will
be able to withstand an attack.
The force of soldiers comprises 800 Off

Inducements that are likely to come
from Spring Valley and towns west, will
probably number 1000. The leaders

CHIEF RAMSAY ON TRIAL.
Serious Charges Against the Head
of the Railway Photographers
Order,

Denver, Col, May 26.-The trial of
Grand Chief Ramsay before the Order
of Railway Telegraphers' convention is
in progress to-day behind closed doors.
He is charged in thirty nine counts with
violation of the laws and usages of the
order. One of the most series charges
is that of obtaining money irregularly
and destroying records by tearing leaves
from the cash book and other books. 1t
is also charged that Ramsay has report
ed IN his expense accounts having paid
railroad fare when he rode on passes.
Some members estimate that $4,000
has disappeared for which no salts
factory account has been made. 1t is
claimed that Ramsay engaged his
brother and wife as clerks in his office
when the additional assistance was
unnecessary. One charge which is re-
ceiving careful attention is that during
the Atlantic & Pacific strike two years
ago Ramsay sold out to the company by
sending operators to take places of the
strikers and sent his brother to take
charge of them and report to Supt.
Gemmel at Topeka.

ANTICS OF A MAD DIVINE.
The Rev. Mr.. TOlIemache, an Eng
lish Minister, Committed to
an Asylum.

London, May 26.-Rev. DR.. Augustus
Francis Tollemache, one Of the most
prominent clergymen of the Church
Of England, who has written numerous
pamphlets in defense of the Protestant
faith, and whose writings have regularly
appeared in the church papers for over
twenty years, was to-day taken to
private asylum at Frome on an order
issued by Master in Lunacy Maclean, as
the result of an inquiry ordered by the
lord. chancellor. For nine months the
divine has been manifesting symptoms
Of alteration of mind, beginning with
eccentricities, and winding up with
-demonstrations:that lmade manifest his
loss of mind. At one time be dressed
himself in O policeman's coat, strapped
a bulls eye lantern to the belt, and
searched bis church all night for ghosts.
Lately he has been in the habit of coin
mercing his SERVICES by standing IN

for five or ten minutes. The
climax came, however, on the third
Sunday in April last, when the Bishop
held confirmation service in the par
ish church of Hugglescote, an adjoining
town. DR.. Tollemache had been re
quested to assist in the service, but
when the bishop reached the church
the eccentric minister was discovered
sitting among the girl candidates. There
he remained throughout the service.
He left the building just before the con-
gregation was dismissed, and took his
seat in dogcart fjust outside the doors.
Here he patiently waited until the
bishop and the assisting divines made
their appearance, when he proceeded

OLD CLAIMS DECLARED VOID.
Hoke Smiths Decision Causes Great
Excitement in the Ashland
District

District.
Ashland, Wis, May 25.-There was
quite rush on the land Office again
shortly before closing time yesterday,
when the facts leaked out that Secretary
Hoke Smith had made some very broad
decisions covering mail entries. In
every instance his ruling upon
this point is that the applications made
out prior to November were void and
of no effect, for the reason that the
land was not legally subject to entry
until after II o'clock on the night Of
November 2.
Almost every mail application sent in
to the local office on the first day Of
entry, November 2, was dated q day or
two previous, and under the ruling of
Secretary Smith all such applications
are void. With this ruling all mail ap-
plications are to be rejected, and prior
right will then rest in those who per-
sonally appeared at the office to make
filings, having applications dated No
vember 2.
There are several contests where all
the contestants in the case filed by mail
and dated their applications prior to
November 2. In such cases all appli-
ca tlOnS Will DE QeclareQ reJeCCeQ ana
the lands will then be subject TO
e1ttry b the first person who
Cones along. It was this fact that
brought On & silent rush Of citizens &C
quainted with the inside facts, who ap.
peared personally at the land Office and
filed on the lands thus thrown out by
Secretary Smith in his rejection of such
mail applications.
Secretary Smith followed up his rul-
ing upon this point by passing upon
several Omaha cases. In the contest of
William Rusk, j. E. May and Michael
Connors over the southeast quarter of
section 5, township 4S and range s, all
applications were made by mail on the
morning of May 2, and the Secretary
has made a decision in this
case rejecting the applications
Of all three parties, leaving the land
open for entry. He made the same de-
cision in the case of La Forest Newell
vs. Peter w. White, over the northeast
OF II, As and Z In the contest of Jenny
Jacobs against others, the Secretary de-
cided in favor of Jacobs, but has held up
her entry for investigation.

OIL the strikers crept stealthily to the

guarded in the belief that any attack if
made would be on the armory

pany's office. Fortunately there were
no guards there. The guards near by
