RIOTING IN LEADVILLE.
Leadville. Colo, Sept. 2l.-At |
O'Clock this morning three heavy ex-
plosions aroused sleepers in the east
ern part of the city for blocks around
the Coronado mine. which is the one
which first resumed operations and
which was heavily barricaded and well
stocked with provisions and arms.
The explosions were followed by a
fusillade of rife shots. apparently from
within the barricade, and rapid but ir-
regular shots from outside, apparently
from a widely scattered force. who
were on hand to protect the retreat of
the dynamiters.
The shooting lasted for 10 minutes
and all was quiet for five minutes, when
desultory firing was renewed and has
been kept up ever since.
At 1:5O a. nj. another explosion was
heard, sounding like dynamite.
Ten minutes after the first eXplo-
sions a telephone message from the
Coronado stated that nobody inside the
barricade had been hurt. Since then it
has been impossible to reach the Coro-
nado by telephone.
This office (the Herald Democracy is
now being watched by several bands
of men. grouped in dark corners and
alleys. and this may mean they pro-
pose to prevent communication with
the telegraph office. the watchers not
knowing that the Associated Press
wire and long distance telephone were
inside the office.
