CHEYENNE, Wyo, Dec. Especial Tel
egram)-The coal mines at Dlamondville
resumed operations this morning with a
force OF 175 men. Early risers in the town
were surprised by finding the camp com
plotely patroled by fifteen fully armel an !
mounted men. The mines we're also we'll
guarded and those who wen. to work were
not molested in any way. although the
strikers feel their evident defeat keenly.
They apparently are cowed by the effectual
manner in which Sheriff Ward and his dep
uties have blocked them at every point.
The deputies present a most formidable
appearance and the strikers well know that
1t will cost them heavily II any attempt
is made to interfere with the mines. The
company today served notices of ejcctmens
upon the strikers occupying company houses.
This will doubtless cause serious trouble.
as number of the strikers have announced
they will resist ejectment Public opinion
is with the coal company and little SYM
pathy is given the miners, as the latter are
believed to be decidedly in the wrong. The
management announced tonight that the
strike is broken and that many more men are
expected to return to work tomorrow.
BoiIcrmn,crs' Strike Ended.
THE strike Of the Union Pacific boiler
makers at Cheyenne is practically at an

had been made with the company but ad-
mitted that both sides had made conces-
stons. He did say, however. that both the
botlermakers and the officials are well
pleased at the turn of affairs, that only the
best of feeling prevails and that the men
will all be back at their benches on Monday
1t is reported here tonight that the COM
pany has granted an increase OF cent per

CnttIeman Indicted for Assault
The grand jury called by Judge r. II.
Scott of the Laramie county court to in
vestigate the deplorable condition of affairs
as evidenced by the testimony brought out
at the trial last week of three United States
soldiers from Fort RUSSELL who were
charged with criminally assaulting three
Cheyenne girls of tender age, today brought
in an indictment against A. w. Bristol, one
of the leading sheep and cattleraisers of this
county. The charge against him is that OF
committing criminal assault upon the small
girls. Bristol was at once placed under ar
rest and subsequently released on bond. He
denies the charges in toto. The grand jury
completed its work tonight and tomorrow
will return indictments against five prom
inent business men of Cheyenne and three
women, charging them with knowingly rent
ing houses which are used for prostitution
and other vices. The findings OF the grand
jury have created a sensation here, owing
to the prominence of the persons indicted
and the nature of the charges. a..' -'''f."t
