in accordance with the action taken in
1881 by the government, then presided
over by u monometallist, Mr.. Gladstone.
There is no ground for saying that any

NEwcAsrLn, Oolo., Sept 1l.-The
worst wreck In the history Of the state
OF Colorado occurred at 1925 a. m. on
the track Of the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Colorado Midland railways one
and half miles west of here. After IL
hours incessant work by the wrecking
crews n clearing away the debris and
rescuing the bodies Of those who per-
iahed, ~ is yet impossible to secure
more than an estimate of the loss of
life ana not even those known to be
dead have been identified. Many of
the uffortunates will never be known
and it Is possible that the number killed
will always be in doubt. From the best
information obtainable now fully 80
persons are believed to have perished,

fortunate miners dropped dead ii their
TRACKS under the terrible battery, four
moro died during the night and four
have since been added to the record.
Is So fAr fronl being WILDLY ezoitsdyethis
place Il pervaded by sort Of sullen
Quietude, which appears even more
ominous. All sorts Of rumors are
a6oat. one being to the effect that 5000
strikers from the South Side miners
were marching on Hazleton with the
purpose Of wreaking vengeance for the
shooting. They had not reached here
at noon. and it was later reported that
they had dispersed upon learning Of the
presence Of the troops.
Indignation Runs High.
The arrival Of the soldiers was not
marked by any demonstration further
than the gathering of large but orderly
crowd. Indignation against the depu-
ties ID running high, and the charge is
publicly made that there was absolutely
no necessity for the horrible slaughter.
The miners, it is declared, were not
armed in any way, and if the deputies
feared trouble single shot over their
heads would have dispersed them. The
fact 10 clear, however, that many of
the victims were shot through the back
while flying from the guns Of deputies.
Story Of the Bloody Conflict.
Tho strikers left Hazleton at $3.50
o'clock, announcing their intention to
70 to Latimer. As soon as this became
known band Of 20 deputies was loaded
On Q trolley car and went whirling
across the mountain to the scene where
Ne bloody conflict followed. After
reaching Latimer they left the car and
formed into three companies under
Thomas Hall, E. A. Hess and Samuel
B. Price. They drew up in line at the
edge of the village, with fence and
line OF houses in their rear. Sheriff
Martin was in entire command and
stood in the front of the line until the
strikers approached. They were seen
coming across the ridge and Martin
went out to meet them. The men drew
up sullenly and listened in silence until
he had

Once More Read the Riot Act.

This finished, low muttering arose
among the foreigners and there was a
slight movement forward. Perceiving
this the sheriff stepped toward them
and in determined tone forbade ad-
vance. Some one struck the sheriff
and the next moment there was . COM
mand to the deputies to fire. The guns
of the deputies instantly belched forth
terrible volley. The report seemed to
shake the very mountains and q cry Of
dismay went up from the people. The
strikers were taken entirely by surprise,
and as the men toppled and fell over
each other those who remained unhurt
stampeded. The men went down be.

and the groans Of the dying and

ton. Within 10 minutes the streets
were blocked with excited people. The
Lehigh Traction company Immediately
placed q number of extra cars on the
Latimer line and doctors and clergy
men responded promptly. Amid the
excitement the deputies turned their at.
tention to the wounded and carried
many Of them to places where they
could be more comfortably treated.
Martin Bosli, an intelligent Hunga-
rian from Mount Pleasant, who was
shot in the arm, was seen by q report
an gave this version Of the affair:
Was the Deputies Fault.
1--WE were going along the road to
Latimer and the deputies were lined
across the road, barring our progress.
We tried to 60 through them and did
not attempt to hit or molest them,
when they fred upon us. We ran, but
they kept on shooting at US while we
ran. 1t is all their fault"
Citizens meetings were held at vari-
Gus parts of the city. Opinion was
divided about the responsibility for the
shooting. At one meeting, held in
Vanwickles Casino, attended by bank
ers, coal operators and prominent bust.
ness men, resolutions were adopted
calling on Governor Hastings to send
the militia here Immediately. At other
mass meetings, attended by Thousands
Of people, the sentiment was against
bringing the troops hers. and il II a..
serted by these that there was no neoes-
sity for having the deputies here.
