MILITARY LEADvILLE.

Leadville, Col, Sept. 2S.-With the
camp practically under military rule
and pickets stationed at various points
over the large area, it is often difficult
to obtain definite news of the skirmish-
es that occur nightly between the riot
ers and the soldiers. The shooting at
the Bonair mine, which created much
excitement last night, proved to be no
more serious than dozen other blood
less battles that have occurred. Four
shots were first fired at a picket, who
returned the fire. One of his comrades
came to his aid and dozen or so shots
were fired without effect. The shoot
ing at the Bonn mine was done by a
sentry because a man refused to obey
the order to halt. Other shots were
heard during the night, but are
thought to have had similar origin.
All sorts of rumors are in the air. It
was reported last night that another
party of Missouri miners would arrive
today, but this is positively denied by
the mine managers.

RAIN DAMAGED STREETS.

Saturday nights rain did considera-
BILE damage to the streets out in the
suburbs, especially where the sur
face was unlevel as on the sides Of
the various hills, the water running
off washing great gullies in the street.
On Dreiss hill at the corner of Mon
tana and South blackberry streets,
the water ran like young river and
could be heard for a distance of sew
eral blocks away, running over the
street crossing which formed a kind
of dam. The water was so deep as
TO be impossible for pedestrians al
most all the waste water, of the hill
coming down this street.
Dakota street was also washed up
pretty badly.
All the low places were complete
ly submerged by the water running
down from off the higher ground.
Near the intersection of Goliad, Peach
and Dakota streets a regular lake
was formed and the place made al
most impossible. Such was the
condition all over the city, the high
places being badly washed and the
low ones entirely submerged.
