Denver, Nov. PA Republican spe-
cial from Cripple Creek last night
says: The explosion of an internal
machine in the sixth level of the Vim
dicator mine as the cage was descend
ing past the level resulted in the al
most instantaneous death this morning
of Charles H. Mccormick, superintend-
ent of the mine, and Melvin Beck, the
shift boss, who were the only men on
the cage. Had the elevator been crowd
ed, all would have been killed.
From the evidence obtainable it ap-
pears that a box of dynamite was
placed on the floor Of the level beside
the shaft, revolver was fastened to
a timber and wire so attached that
when the cage descended it pulled the
trigger and the shot exploded the dy-
Mantle.
Superintendent Mccormick had dis
covered something wrong in the level.
Summoning the shift boss. the two
went below to investigate, and met
their death.
In this same level several weeks ago
Clarence Hager, an employe of the
mine, reported that he had been shot
at by two men, who disappeared in the
workings Investigation found no ma
RAIDERS, and his story was discredited.
Now the management. the sheriff and

that a plot has been forming to wreck
the mine, and possibly to murder some
of those employed there.

ward symptoms of recovery from the

months ago, and necessitated his re-
tirement from his position at the head
OF the company last August. He was.
in his forty-sixth year. but the nervous
strain he had undergone in recent
times made him appear older.
Mr.. Kebler went to the Atlantic sea

after the annual meeting Of the COM
pany, for the benefit Of his health. and
returned October 18th. feeling much
improved. The lower altitude had

MANY ARRESTS
AT CRIPPLE CREEK

Cripple Creek, Nov. 23.-Charles G.
Kennison, leader of the strike, as well
as other members of the executive
committee of the district union and a
dozen other strikers are under arrest
pending further investigation OF the
dynamiting Of the Vindicator mine
shaft and the murder Of Superintend-
ent Mccormick and Shift Boss Beck.
Evidence has been gathered that
confirms the suspicion that the explo-
sion was prearranged, and the mine
management, the civil and military au-
thorities are convinced that the plot
was laid days. IL not weeks, before its
execution.
Through the number on the barrel Of
the revolver found in the level, and
which was used to explode the internal
machine. the ownership of the weapon
has been traced. The revolver was
left for repairs in a shop in Victor and
the owner called there few days ago
and took 1t away. Whether the owner
of the pistol Is among those under ar
rest is not made public.
James Turleau, a miner employed on
the Vindicator. was approached In
Cripple Creek on Wednesday or Thurs
day OF last week by three men and
asked II he worked on the Vindicator.
Replying that he did. he was told that
he might inform his superintendent.
Mccormick. that his mine would not
be working after Friday night. Tur-
leau gave this information to his super
intendent, and this may have account
ed for McCormick's going below Satur-
day when he met his death. Tur-
leau says he was warned that he
would not better work Friday night. A
search is being made for the three men
whom Turleau describes.

Both parties to the controversy in this

President Howells, backed by the
Western Federation of Miners, opposed
any settlement and won their conten-
ton for a continuance of the strike in
sympathy with the employees OF the
southern fields by vote Of 228 to 165.
