THE CRIPPLE CREEK STRIKE,
Only Nine Hundred Men are Out and the Sit
uation Looks Brighter.

Cripple Creek, Colo, March ls.-Con-
ditions are much better than anticipated
this morning. verything is quiet. 1t
is thought the strike will be short-lved
and that the men will be at work again
within "a hours. That the manage
ment of the Ell Paso and Strong proper
ties agreed not to ship to the Standard
mill was surprise, as the mines are
operated exclusively by non-union labor.
In all. about 900 men ara out, and it is
not believed that the strike will extend
to other properties.

Grave Robbers at Work.

The attempt at grave-robbing made
in the Harmony cemetery, Milton,
sometime between Friday and Sunday
is arousing the keenest interest, and a
determined effort to ferret out the
offender or offenders is being made.
The motive of the ghouls is beyond
conception, as the plot in which the
excavation was made contains no bod
les of recent burial.
The work of the ghouls was discov-
cred Sunday forenoon. An excavation
to the depth of nearly two feet had
been made in the Woodling family
plot Several vases were upturned,
and alongside the excavation was
fonnd a shovel On this were whit
tied the initials Fl W." and the
cemetery officials believe that with
this clue they may be able to run
down the guilty parties. 1t is evident
that the ghOul was disturbed in his
work and took flight for safety forget
ting the shovel in his hurry. The eX-
cavation is an evident attempt at the
opening of one of the Woodling graves
1t has been suggested that perhaps
the intention of the diggers was not
to remove the dead, but that they in
tended to secretly deposit in the grave
the remains of child or other person
which they desired to conceal. What
ever the purpose the good citizens OF
the town are righteously indignant at
the fact that so unhallowed thing as
the desecration of grave should have
been perpctrated in that community

Brick Pavement Completed.

The fine brick pavement laid by the
Pennsylvania railroad company at its
station. South Danville, is now com
ploted. 1t is one of the finest improve
ments for the convenience of the pub
lie ever attempted at this place.
The pavement, composed of vitritied
brick. extends all tie way from the
watch box at the crossing down past
the station As far as the platform
reached The pavement is raised about
a foot above the track and in width
takes in all the surface covered by
passengers and the traffic incidental to
the arrival and departure of the trains.
The surface is oval in form and retain
ed by a fine flag stone curb sunk III
concrete. Altogether no expense was
sparad and the new pavement forms
another link in the system of improve
ments, begun at the station about a
wear ago when the company installed
electric light.
Another improvements, which Will
be appreciated alike by the travelling
public aud the attaches of the depot
is the adoption Of cellar heating. The
excavation is now nearly walled NJ
and in a few days a large No. 80 Regal
hoater will be installed in the cellar
by the DanvilIo Stove e Manufactur
ing Company. This will do away
with the three stoves at present in us'
and keep the building warmed Mt q
