Denver. Oct. 14-Governor Peabody
has issued orders for reduction of
the National guard on duty in the
Cripple Greek district to 500 men
This wilt mean that something over
800 men will be relieved from duty.
1t is probable that these will include
the signal corps and part of the
hospital corps; the rest of the contin
gent will be infantry and the cavalry
will be left in the district.
The governor said:
believe that the time has ar
rived when the force that was sent to
Cripple Greek to protect the property
and maintain law and order may with
safety be reduced in size.
II have accordingly ordered Colo
mel Verdeck berg to make provision at
once for the sending of all the force
over the number of 500 to their homes
Colonel Verdecxberg will decide which
organizations should leave. The
last time heard with reference to the
total number Of men in the field was
that there were something over $50
men on duty. l will let the colonel
use his discretion in the matter, as he
ought to know much better than l do

should not come within the terms of
