cripple, Creek, Colo, Sept. 70. =
Judge William p. Seeds. of the district
court, decided against the military au-
thorities in the habeas corpus case or
Sherman Parker and three others who
have been held prisoners by the mill
tary for about two weeks without
warrants, and with no formal charges
against them. General John Chase, In
command of the troops, declined to
recognize the authority Of the court
until ordered by the governor to do so.
1t is learned. however, that Governor
Peabody has instructed Adult mt Gen.
eral Bell. who is in Cripple Creek, to
issue an order to General Chase to
turn over all prisoners to the civil au-
thorities hereafter.
Grounds of the Judges Decision.
Judge Seeds said that he could not
subscribe to the doctrine advanced by
the respondent, that the military was
supreme and not amenable to the
court, because to do so would mean to
overthrow free government and substi-
tute monarchy. The court said that
the question involved was: Does the
executive order calling troops consti-
tute a Justification of the arrest? He
held that civil law had not been over
thrown in Teller county, ard no evil
dence had been presented that law.

punished by the civil authorities.
History Of the Case.
A strike of the union miners was
ordered at Cripple Creek about the
middle of August by the Western
Federation Of Miners In support of
millmen at Colorado City and other
points who had for a long time been
contending for an eight-hour day. The
mine owners, alleging that large
percentage of the men desired TO work
If protection was assured. called upon
Governor Peabody for troops, although
the civil authorities Of Cripple Greek
denied the necessity for such course
The governor, however, decided that
troops were needed, and on Sept
ordered almost the entire National
Guard Of the state, about 1000 men,
to the district, under command OF
Brigadier General Chase
Courts Jurisdiction Was Disputed.
Siuce that time several prominent
members Of the miners union, includ

committee which had the strike IN
charge, have been arrested without

TAKING THEM OUT.

Interest in the primary election
law seems to have increased in both
branches of the legislature during
the past week. In addition to the
House committee on elections hav-
ing given notice OF general hear
ing on all primary bills now in the
custody of that committee, a bill has
been introduced into the senate TAX
ing the congressional and judicial
Offices out from under the ban of
that act.
This bill will meet with favor if
the primary law is to stand. Ger
tain it is that this Legislature will
not extend the law to State officers.
The feeling is that if such an extern
sion was made the title Of the bill
should be changed to AN act for
corruption in securing a nomina-
ton, and that only the wealthy
need apply. On the other hand the
feeling is quite strong that if the
bill is to be given another trial it
ought to be confined to the county
and legislative offices exclusively
and not attempt to create such feS-
tering sores in party organizations
as were created during the recent
congressional contests in this State.
1t has even been limited among
the members that it might be we'll
to amend the law even to the extent
of taking out the legislative candi-
dates Many of the members and
senators realize what it has cost
them to be ominated-much more
than under the old system, and hav.
ing offices that pay such a small
stipend for the three or four months
of each two years, the evil ough
not to be placed across their should
ers. Hence, they say, that if there
is a clamor for another trial, let the
county Offices, with their continue
salaries and fees, stand the expense
of the test.
