ously quiet at Cripple Creek today.

ment. During the early hours bands of
mounted miners roamed through the

groceries to get provisions, and search
ing for arms. Their treatment of
men found out Of the limits of

indignities perpetrated are, in many in
stances, too revolving TO be mentioned.

fore he could secure his coveted re-
yenge, was treated in 80 disgusting a
manner last month by these miness

early ways was civilized In comparison.
The bankers and merchants are &C.
creting their valuables. expecting that
pillage and carnage will break forth al
any moment. The armed bands OF
lawless drepredators attempted last
night to surprise the deputies ut Divide.

bringing on conflict. The governor to.
day was engaged in writing some more
speeches or addresses and awaits the
full report of his private secretary who
is still at Cripple Creek.
The postal wire is working to Cripple
Creek and at noon matters remained
quiet. The desperadoes have a line of
pickes from Bull hill to Midland and
