Cripple Creek. Colo. Sept. 5.-The
Board of County Commissioners in
session yesterday adopted resolutions
condemning the action of the governor.
The political complexion of the board is
Democratic. there being no Republican
member. and every member was pres
ent and authorized the following:
Whereas. the Board of County Com
missioners of Teller county, Colorado.
have been advised that the governor OF
the state of Colorado has sent the mi
litia to this county for the pretended
purpose of suppressing a riot that does
not. nor never did exist, and to protect
property and the individual residents
of the county that are not in danger.
and
Whereas, II has been falsely report
ed throughout the state that property
and life were In danger In Teller coun-
~.
Now. therefore. the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners OF Teller county do
protest:
First. that property and individuals
are as safe In this county as elsewhere
in this state.
Second. that the sheriff of Teller
county is perfectly able TO handle the
situation here and has been authorized
by the board to employ any and all
deputies necessary 10 protect property
and life. which. in the opinion of the
board, he is doing.

TELLER COUNTY OFFICIALS
OBJECT TO CALL FOR TROOPS

Third, that there has been no I'M
usual assembly of men and no more
violence than at other times; that the
parties guilty Of the late assault will
be apprehended by the civil authorities
and prosecuted The state troops can
in no way aid in apprehending these
parties.
Fourth. that the governor of the
state. without cause therefor has sent
the militia TO this county and by so
doing will engender i'll feeling. pro-
long the strike and do a great injury
to the Cripple Creek mining district.
Fifth, that the citizens OF this coun-
~ are law-abiding and are doing all in
their power TO avoid trouble.
sixth. 1t is the judgment OF the
Board OF County Commissioners that
the commission sent by Governor Pea
body to this county to investigate the
strike situation was not sent for an
honest purpose, but as cloak TO cause
the people of the state of Colorado to
believe that the law officers OF Teller
county were unable to handle the strike
situation.
This statement is made because the
commission sent by the governor did
not make an honest and fair investiga-
ton of the situation. The commission

and left at n. IN. Friday. remaining

Having visited Cripple Creek aud
Victor. after careful inquiry among
representative citizens and property
owners, including the mayors of Grip
pie Creek and Victor, we are of the
opinion that the lives of the citizens
of the district are in imminent dan
ger and lives and personal rights are
in jeopardy. Prompt action is imper-
atively demanded by the above people
to protect the lives and property OF
these citizens. We find that reign
of terror exists in the district which
should be relieved at once, and obedi-
ence to the law enforced in the dis
trict. We do not believe that the civil
authorities are able to cope with the
situation.

GOVERNOR PEABODY SENDS
TROOPS TO CRIPPLE CREEK

Denver, Sept. $50 serioiss did
Governor Peabody consider the situa-
tion at Cripple Creek after receiving
his report from the special commits
sion sent to investigate matters In the
mining camp yesterday morning. that
he decided to send the National Guard
to the scene of the trouble at once.
Accordingly. the official order was Is
sued shortly before noon, and In few
minutes the mobilization of the
troops began. All of the First
regiment of infantry, Company
II of the Second, the Chaffee
Light Artillery. two troops of caval-
ry, the medical and signal corps were
ordered into the field.
The first detachment left Denver
shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon with about 300 men. including
four companies of infantry, the artil-
lery with two Calling guns, two troops
of cavalry and the medical and signal
corps. Adjutant General Bell and
Brigadier General Chase were in
charge, with Colonel Verdeckburg
commanding the First infantry.
At IL O'Clock last night the second
special left Denver, bearing 1926 men.
including companies c of Brighton, G
of Loveland, II of Boulder, X of North
Denver, of Fort Morgan and d of
Greeley. General ]. C. Overmeyer and
Major w. X. Arlington were In
charge.
The Fort Collins company will reach
Denver this morning, receive Its equip
ment and start for Cripple Creek with
the Denver men who were left behind
last night.
Governor Peabody was In his Office
yesterday morning at . o'clock, and
with General Bell. the kilograms and
messages received from the commits
sion and other people interested in the
situation were considered. Brigadier
General Chase. who returned early
from Cripple Creek. and J. C. Over
meyer, formerly adjutant general of
the state. began the preparation for
the sending out of the troops to the
district. This was before the order
had been actually issued. j. C. Over

The complaint filed against the City
and County OF Denver by Thomas j..
MalOney, In which he asked a peremp-
tory writ Of mandamus ordering the de-
PENDANTS to furnish him record books
and supplies for the transcribing OF the
records of old Arapahoe county,
came up for hearing September Ind,
before Judge Carpenter In the District
Court. A demurrer. filed by the City
and County of Denver was oyerruled
and fifteen days We're allowed the de-
PENDANTS to again demur to the COM
plant.
The demurrer stated that he COM
plant did not state facts sufficient to
support the cause OF action. The con-
tract which was given TO Maloney by
Clerk Aichele came under a provision
OF the Legislature passed at the same
time with Article Xxx. for the trans
cribing Of the old Arapahoe county
records, The contention OF the coun-
~ attorney was that the Legislature
had not the right TO legisla,e locally.
Judge Carpenter. however. held that
the sovereignty OF the people OF the
state over the City and County OF
Denver was not abdicated by the
adoption OF the home rule amendment
The opinion holds that the effect OF
the amendment is not to give home
rule TO the city and county 10 the ex-
clnsion Of state legislation. As n
county, II stands In no different rela-
tons TO the state than any other coun-
~. and Is subject TO the control and
authority OF the state TO the same cx-
tent aa they. The fact that Denver
was established by the constitution
and the other counties by legislative
enactment, the court holds. makes abb
sulutcly no difference.

State Treasurer,s Report.

State Treasurer Newton on Sept.
ith transmitted to Governor Peabody
his financial report for the semi-an-
nual biennial period. ending August 81,
1t shows that up to September list the
different state departments had prac-
tically used all of the funds aprro-
priated for their use during the year. or
all the funds there was any likelihood
of their getting, owing 10 the deficit in
the revenues.
The board of health, the humane
society and practically all of the minor
departments have absolutely no funds
at their disposal for the expenses of
the next four months. The executive
departments are in nearly as bad a
position.
The decrease in the total valuation
of state properly will hardly exceed
sl7.000,000, II II is that much Alb
stracts of assessments have been filed
in the auditors office from forty-seven
of the fifty-nine counties. and, al
though practically all OF them show a
slight decrease, the total is not nearly
half of what II was estimated by Audi
tor Holmberg a week ago
At that time less than forty counties
had been heard from. and. basing his
calculations on what had already come
in. Mr.. Holmberg said that the total
valuation Of the property would prob
ably be about $500, 100000, instead OF
the s35S, 100000 on which they estl-
mated
The forty-seyen counties that have
sent In their abstracts show a total OF
1922 ,50S,sll. II the remaining twelve
counties show even the same valuation
MS last year, which was mite more
than sl0+.5g6. 1853. the total valuation
OF the state will run up to 1897 ,09g, 97i,
leaving shortage of sl6,902 .527.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Work of Pardonlno Board.

Bert Feenan, who was sentenced to
the penitentiary from Arapahoe county
in September, 1902, for the reception
of stolen goods, was pardoned on the
4th inst. by the state board of par
dons. Florence Thurman. who stole
the goods, was sent to the peniten-
tiary for the offense and served her
time of one year. As soon as she was
out she began to circulate the story
that Feenan was not to blame. This
fact was presented to the board of
pardons with such force that it de-
cided TO pardon the man.
John Holman had his sentence COM
muted to three years from ten. Evil
dence presented to the board showed
that Holman was only partly respon-
sible for the crime charged up against
him, that of passing counterfeit mon
ey in Pueblo. He was accused of and
sentenced because of the passing of u
50-cent counterfeit piece.
Pardon was refused by the board in
the cases of Otto Lehman, Joseph Par
ry and II. DeLovell, and the cases of
Spencer Dicks and John p. Black were
postponed for further investigation.
Contracts have been let by Secre-
tary Leuders of the state board of cap
ital managers for the renoyating and
repairing of room Is in the state house,
which is now used as n store room. A
new floor will be put in and the walls
of the room will be decorated. This is
the room which was used by Con-
tractor Peter Gumry when the build-
ing was in course of construction. In
this room the first floor was laid in
the building for the convenience of Mr..
changed since that time and the room
has been used as a storeroom ever
