CHASE TOO STRENUOUS
Governor Peabody Dissatisfied

Brigadier General.

Denver, Colo. Oct 4.-The summon

John Chase by Governor Peabody con-
tinues TO be the feature of interest in
the Cripple Creek strike. Governor
Peabody declines to give his reasons for
ordering the general from duty and
placing another in his command in his
stead. When pressed for a statement
tonight the governor said:
General Chase is in Denver on de-
tached duty. His stay is indefinite"
The governor called General Chase
in conference on two. occasions today,
but just what the nature of the discus
sfons occurring at these meetings were,
has not been made public.
1t is persistently rUmored that Gov
ernor Peabody has become dissatisfied
with certain policies pursued by Cen
eraI Chase ia handling the situation in
Cripple Creek, but no one in authority
win vertify this rumor, nor can it be
learned in what particular the COVER
nor's ideas of the proper method of
treating the Cripple Creek strike dis

in the conferences tonight the question
of his removal from command of the
troops in Cripple Creek was brought I'D,
BuL AlldL LllC lldAAEL IDS l0h hVFAA NNtA-
niteiy disposed of. The immediate
cause of the trouble is said to be due to
a recent order OF General Chase for a
cOurt-martial to try Colonel Gross, the
/ paymaster Of the Colorado national
guard. The report is that Colonel Gross
objected to an examination being made
of the pay rolls by a representative of
( General Chase and that during a dis
pute which followed Colonel Gross
drew revolver and threatened to use
it. General Chase. upon learning of the
affair, ordered the arrest of Gross and
his trial by cOuTt-martiaf. The latter,
: according to the story came to Den
yer and informed the governor Of the
I trouble and Governor Pea body at once
! summoned General Chase to Denver.
It is said that General Chase is strenu-
ously opposing what he considers I'M
