Tacre Is much reason TO believe that the
acts of laN!essness last night were the
result Of a crisis IN the strike which would
have resulted in 4 settlement OF the wage
trouble IN this camp This week q number
of nines we're 70 have started ap and lists
og applicants we're rapidly filling. The iaw
less element determined upon a decided
move, AID, Z Is charged by some, organ
szed the bands that infested the city early
this morning. Seine witnesses OF the Cor
oD3G1 affair declare that the number OF
men making the attack did not exceed sew
euty. AZ Lmmet tAere were possibly asl.
Many strikers have been well armed and
bave quantities of dynamite and powder
AZ their command.
The startling story in circulation today
IS that almost the entire City vas threat
eued with destruction last night. and but
for the pr0mpfness CT the county deputies
ard armed citizens arriving, the destruc-
ton would be FAR more widespread. Lurk-
iug in the shadows in the uptown streets
many men were seen. and for time the
Office of Ine Herald-Democrat. the lead
ing ncW spaper. was being watched. When
the crowds began TO gather the watchers
dispersed. For a time early this morn
ing paudemOnium reigned. All the whls-
ties OF all the mines we're set blowing and
the noise WAS almost deafening. By ?
O'Clock the entire population OF Leadville
Mas on the streets. Miueling with the
crowds were many striking miners. Most
Of these professed ignorance of the affair
and some strongly declared the iawiess
action meant the end OF the strike as they
we're not II sympathy with such outrages.
The FIVE Hives sacrificed in fighting the
work Of destruction az the Coronado mine
and she Emmett mine were:
Deaa-Bert Meir. James Benson, bo.h

Today hundreds of miners say they win
60 70 work az once. They bitterly de-
n0unee t5e extremists. ana say their ac-
ton has lost me miners strike.
