Leadville. Colo, Sept. 26--Under the
latest orders of General Brooks this
city was today placed under the control
OF a provost guard for military police

Emmett has been working right along
with a small force of non-union men.
The other two mines named will be
started up at once under a strong guard.
Great pressure has been brought to
bear upon Edward Boyce, president OF
the Western Federan of Miners, to
induce him to use his influence with the
Leadville Miners union to call OF the
strike. He refused and said that not
per cent of the members of the union
would vote to call off the strike.
The cases of the officers Of the Miners
union who are under arrest came up
in the district court today on an appll-
cation by their counsel for their re-
lease on bail The sheriff and the city
marshal being examined, said they had
arrested the men on the advice of the
district attorney. The district attor-
ney moved that the cases be nolled,
thus confessing that he had no evil
dence against the prisoners. Judge
Owens denied the motion, but said he
would release the prisoners.

John n. Gentry Goes the FASTEST Mile Ever
Made In Harness.
PORTLAND, Me, Sept 25.--John r.
Gentry yesterday, at Rigby park,
paced the fastest mile ever made in
harness, and placed the worlds record
at 2:001. The runner was at the
PAGERS throat as they made the hrst
turn on the stretch. Gentry went
steadily and with apparent ease, the
runner having hard work keeping his
position. The judges caught the
quarter mile at :20ll, and the second
quarter was made in :30A, making the
half mile in :5oK. The runner, by the
use OF the whip, was keeping mp at
Gentry's wheel, but was making
hard work OF IL. The third
quarter was made it :304, making the
three quarters in 1904. As they
turned into the home stretch and
caught the wind in the teeth the crowd
yelled wildly. The PAGER made a great
squirt, considering that he had the
wind in his teeth, and made the most
remarkable quarter of the heat, :304,
making the mile in 2:0OlE. just one sec
ond less than the former best record
first made by Robert J. at Terre liaute
in 1895, and equaled this year by
Gentry. When Starter Culberson an
nounced the time the crowd broke
through the fence and crowded out on
the track and around the PAGER, cheer
ing wildly. 1t is believed that had
Gentry not had to contend with the
wind he would have made the mile in
two minutes easily.
