~ crowd. Indignation against the
deputies is running high. aud the
| charge 10 publicly made that there WAS
| absolutely no necessity for the horrible
| slaughter. The miners, 1t 10 declared,
were not armed in any way, an II the
| deputies feared trouble a single shot
over tueir heads would have dispersed
them. The TACT Is unuisputed that
many OF the victims were shot thr ugh
| the back walls flying from the guns

Tue local police force has been con-

orders from Chief Fuller to stop the
