CRiPrLE CREEK, Juno 23.--The outrage
perpetrated upon the person of Gen. Tars-
ney is condemned by every one In Cripple
Creek. The militiamen arc highly indig-
nant, and the miners are Wild with rage.
The miners say there are more anarchists
in Colorado Springs than there ever were
on Bull HUI, bat they take satisfaction In
the fact that the true character Of the men
who came here representing law and order
has been proven by themselves. II the
sheriff does not bring the perpetrators to
light there Is probability that the miners
will take some peaceable measures To
do so.
The excitement over the treatment OF
Gen. Iarsney is extreme. Everybody de-
noances IL. The miners are In an ugly
humor and II would require but little per-
suasion TO prompt them TO an outbreak
that would be serious in its consequences.
