RIOT IN COLORADO.
STRIKING MINERS DESTROY
LIFE AND PROPERTY.
State Troops Were Called Out-Armed
Citizens Patrolled the streets.

Three men dead. two fatally wounded and
two others injured is the result OF fierce
riot in Leadv!lle, Col, last Monday.
The shaft and engine house OF the Coroa-
ado mine was attacked by striking miners
and the buildings fired and burned to the
ground. An assault was made on tho Em-
NETT mine. but the strikers were driven of
before doing any damage. The mines which
were barricaded and guarded, were attacked
by men armed with Winchesters and dyna-
mite was used
When tho flames broke ont in tho Corona
do building the fircmcn hurried to the scene,
but were stopped 10y armed strikers and not
allowed to work on the fire. Fireman Okeefe
was snot while turning on tho water. BY
this time II large crowd had gathered; hun
dredS ready to assist were held at bay by the
rioters who were concealed near the build
ing. But presently, as sheets OF flame rolled
over the buildings, it was apparent that un-
less there was timely action the buildings in
the vicinity would be destroyed. A body OF
citizens. armed with rifles. guarded tho fire.
men as they proceeded to work.
At $3.50 u. M, the attack was made on the
Emmett. There were over n hundred shots
fired, but no lives are known to havo been
lost, and no damage to property resulted.
The first attack ut the Coronado was made
with dynamite. near The oil tanks. The men
a iuSill0dc of bullets followed, but tho dyna-
mite did its work well. After tho fire was
well uudcr way. tho attacking party disap
peared and are supposed to have taken to tho
hills.
At t2.30 p. m, Sheriff Newman OF Leadville,
and Judge Owens, of tho district court OF
Lake county, called upon Governor McIn-
tyre for troops. The Governor ut once issued
the call, aud befoio daylight almost the en-
tire military forco CT the State We're en- route
for the scene.
When they arrived they found the city quiet
and no indication OF further trouble. The
local companies We're sent to the hills, and
armed citizens patrolled the streets. The
city council met and decided to aid the STATE
officers in apprchending the rioters. At a
mass meeting of citizens the lawless element
was denounced and 1t was demanded that
the troublesome men leave the camp.
1t Is charged that the lawlessness was due
to "a mob of strikers principally from the
Couer dAlcne country, who have long been
breeding trouble IL Leadville. and who, see
ing thnt the strike which has been on since
June 20 was nearing an end, were determine.
cd to make n final stroke. This assertion Is
largely made by tho peaceful miners OF the
camp.
Despite the presence Of troops and the un.
usual Gui2tucSs of III" streets there is Il very
uneasy feeling prevalent, il being asserted
that thcr" are 500 Winchester rifles in the
hands of tho strikers, whose repeated
threats against the military are recalled with
