special from Colorado Springs last
night says:
Shortly after o'clock tonight an
apparently concerted assault was made
on the Standard and Telluride plants,
the Portland mill being unmolested,
partly by virtue of its isolation.
During the afternoon threats were
made. according to information that

strikers. that violence would be resort
ed to to S-ev.nt further work at the
mills and tnnt an attempt would be
made to intercept .ae entire midnight
shift at the Portland mill and possibly
to take possession OF the plant.
As a result the guard was doubled
at this point and sentries put out an
additional 100 feet all around the plant.

Millmens Union. and seven other
members of the union. and Informed
them that threats had been made:
placed a picket of fourteen men about
the union headquarters and informed
Edwards that he would hold him per-
sonally responsible for any outbreak.
The pickets allowed free access TO the
headquarters. but took careful note Of
what transpired.

dows OF A. s. Carter's store on Six
tecnth street The revolver was brought
in on Saturday by James a. Scott. who
conducts the White or Mill Iron ranch,
near Deer Trail. According to the
story told by Mr.. Scott. Horn was
decent citizen. or was posing as such,
at the time he lost the revolver. In
the fall Of 1900 couple OF men brought
a lot Of horses to the Mil Iron ranch
and asked to have them pastured. They
agreed to the terms offered and drove
away. That was the last ever seen OF
them.
Mr.. Scott waited until January OF
1901, and then he looked up the brands
on tho horses and discovered they be-
ionged TO owners In wyoming. He
wrote to them and In response Horn
appeared In February. The horses. he
said. had been stolen from different
Wyoming ranches and diligent
search made for them had failed to
discover their whereabouts. The first
