CRIPPLE CREEK IS QUIET
The Miners Have Decided to Sur
render to the Troops-A Serious
Affair at Brazil. Ind. Where

ShlPfLE ShEEk, juno o.-l ucro Will Uo
no battle between the fortified union
miners on Bull hill and the army OF
deputy sheriffs, who are now encamped
on Beaver creek, less than five miles from
Bull hill, unless a treacherous move is
made by one side or the other. The as
pect of affairs was decidedly warlike until
3 o'clock this afternoon.
Although the deputies cut all tho tele-
graph lines between this city and Mid
land, the miners were quickly informed
by their scouts of the advance of the sher-
iit's force and they prepared for battle.
They were willing to surrender to the
militia, but declared they would never
submit to arrest until after the troops ar
rived.
Mayor Lindsay and President Parker OF
the First National bank called up Sheriff
Bowers by telephone and begged him to
stop the deputies until tho troops could
reach the camp. The sheriff adhered to
this and there is every reason to believe
there will be no further hostilities,
Alexander McIntosh, representing the
miners, announced that they would lay
down their arms Immediately on the ar
rival of the state troops. The deputies
will follow the troops to the miners camp
anu serve the warrants whieh 'hey are
