WILL START UP TODAY
Mines at Diamoncville Are to Re-
sumo Work.
THERE MAY BE TRoUBI e
THREATS OF VIOLENCE MADE
BY THE STRIKERS.
Sheriff Has Good Sized Army of
Deputies on Hand and Says He
Will Afford Ample Protection to
the Mines and the Workmen En-
ployed.
Especial 10 The Herald.)

| Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. "a num-
Der of additional deputies arrived on
! the scene today and reported to the
sheriff for duty. He has now quite
respectable army under his command.
and it is said that operations will soon
begin.
Already the town and vicinity have
assumed a semi military aspect. The
hill back of No. l mine is dotted here
and there with sentinels who pace
their beats ceaselessly. Day and night
sentinels guard the magazines, boiler,
engine and pump houses and all ap-
proacheS to the mines. No person is
allowed to gain access to any part
of the works or property without being
halted by sentry and properly iden-
titled.
Last night three men armed with
guns were halted by the guard near
the boiler house of No. /. They We're
detained until the officer in charge ap-
peared, when they were relieved of
| their arms and allowed TO proceed.
Quiet at the Mines.
The day has been very quiet no dis
turbanceS having occurred. 1t is semi
officially announced that work will be
resumed tomorrow morning and some
anxiety is expressed as to the out
come. Threats of violence have been
freely made in such an event and it
remains to be seen whether the parties
making the threats will endeavor to
carry them out.
One or two of the leading strikers
showed themselves around the Sheriff's
headquarters today but the nature of
their errand could not be learned. With
ample protection afforded to the men
it is known that a large number will
resume work who have thus far been
afraid to do so. Mine No. was the
last to close and then only did so when
the miners were visited by a deputa-
tion of strikers who threatened to fix
them unless they quit. II has since re-
sumed with reduced force.
1t is thought that mine No. / will
be the first at which work will be re-
sumed and after that is in full opera
ton, Nos. 2, 5 and will also be re-
opened. The results of tomorrow morn
ing's efforts will be anxiously awaited.

B[UNDEROF BRAKEMAN
Caused the Fearful Wreck On the
Denver & Rio Grande.
HE WAS BUT A "STODENT"
WAS TOO CONFUSED TO FLAG

He Admitted During An Investiga-
ton at Salida That He Was mex

Other Conductors Had Refused to
GO Out With Him.
Especial to The Herald.l

Denver. Colo, Dec. 6.-Testimony
which has been brought out at the in
vestigation now in progress at Salida
throws further light on the fearful rear
end collision of the Denver & Rio
Grande trains at English switch Mon
day morning, in which seven people
were killed and ten injured.
A. Froman, colored porter of the
sleeper Durango, testified that he had
shaken up the sleepy brakeman and
told him to go back and signal the train
that was following; that the fiagman,
a. f. Hart, started back to do so; that
the ehgine whistled the signal to flag
and that the brakeman, mistaking it
for the starting signal, rushed back and
got on the train.
His Light Went Out.
Again Froman started him out and
urged him 10 make haste; this seemed
to confuse Hart, and when he made the
second start he stumbled and fell and
his light went out. He again rushed
back to the car TO get a match, but
before he could get back to the curve
the engine of No. 10, was bearing down
on the standing train.
Hart said that the statements of Por-
ter Froman were practically correct. He
does not deny that he was confused, or
that he blundered fearfully in his at
tempts to flag the train that caused so
much disaster. 1t is charged that Hart
has not had the experience for such
work, and that other conductors have
refused to go out with him. He is what
the trainmen designate as student
