The Cripple Creek correspondent of the
Denver Republican says that there Is likely
10 be serious trouble in that district soon.
Being fully convinced that force is to be
used against them, the miners say they are
making ready to meet 1t. Work on a barrl.
cade or fort at the very summit OF Bull hill, a
rocky promontory, from the top of which
the entire camp can be surveyed, was com
menced Friday morning and completed Sat
urday. This barricadc Is about 500 feet from
the Victor shaft house, and from 1t every
movement made below can be distinctly seen.
Inside the fort there are field glasses, rifles
and men. Among the miners the universal
opinion seems to be that trouble. and serious
trouble, is near at hand. They say that n
fight is to be made upon them, and that they
propose to meet force with force.

The taxation OF church property has been
advocated by the greater number OF our pub
die men from Benjamin Franklin down to
President Garfield Tor the obvious reason that
exemption from taxation of any church prop
erty IS really form OF state support of the
church. This is alike dangerous TO the state
and me church. Great ecclesiastical organi-
cations have grown up by the help OF such cy-
empton which do many things with their
property and have an advantage In deriving
revenue from certain uses Of Il over property
used Tor the same purposes held by other cor
porauons that are taxed The extent TO
which churches In our large cities have be-
come propcriy-owuers Is hardly known TO the
public nor are the dangers either To religion
or to the state appreciated. This whole sub
lect Is very forcibly set forth In the May num-
Der Of I'll, forum, not from the point OF

At three O'Clock Thursday afternoon seven
men, armed with Winchcstcrs and rcvolvcr-
rode into Southwest City, Missouri, an! rob
bed the bank, getting all the money the bank
contalued, between 5000 and $1,000. They
evidently came from the territory and were
experts. They did the lob in very business
like manner Two of them were stationed on
the sidewalk, three entered the bank with a
sack, and two others guarded the horses.
About 100 shots were fired by the robbers,
and four prominent citizens were badly
wounded J. {. Scaborn aud o. J.. Seaboru
were both shot through the groin; Mart Hem
bree had leg broken by bullet; +. :. Mel
ton, United States marshal, received Il flesh
wound In the leg
The robbers were about ten minutes going
through the bank. Afterwards they mounted
their horses and started for the nation at a
full gallop. As they were leaving the out
skirts some ore fired several Shots at them,
killing horse and wounding a robbcr. lie
Immediately secured another horse from n
farmer who was passing and followed his
pals.
No resistance was offered by the citizens.
The wounded men were shot while standing
on the sidewalk. a posse was made up and
have started IN pursuit, but the robbers have
a good start and will probably get away.

the lots brought as high as $500.
The petition Of the Creole citizens is that
the Land Board re-appraise the lots upon
which improvements have been made and
give the holders OF the certificates a chance
10 su rrender them in July, when the reap
praisement will be made.
The board adopted the following rcsolu-
rion:
THAT all persons now holding certificates
OF purchase to lots In South Creole who have
made one or more payments, and who shall
surrender their certificates OF purchase, shall
be released from further payments, and such
lots shall be declared forfeited to the state,
and said lots shall be re-appraised, adver
tIsed and sold; provided, always, that the I'm
proyements on such lots be not forfeited, but
the owners thereof may remove said improve
ments, or that said improvements may be APP
praised by the state appraiser, and any other
purchaser than the owner OF such improve
ments who shall purchase said lots shall pay
TO the owner of the Improvements the ap-
praised value thereof.
That all lots in South Creole not hereto
fore sold shall be appraised and advertised
and leased to the highest bidder"
