will first lose their gorgeous color as
the light diminishes, and then the grass
and leaves will appear grayish. The

LOOKS LIKE
' TROUBLE.

Colorado Springs, Sept. IA
special from Cripple Greek says:
This has been day of sensation
and still more sensational rumors.
The actual developments, briefly stat
ed ara as follows:
The arrest and Imprisonment in the
guard house of Justice of the Peace
E. P. Reilly.
The arrest and subsequent release by
military authority of P. J. Lynch
one of the Teller county commission
ers on the charge of making an in
cendiary speech Saturday night.
The arrival at Camp Goldfield of
Company A. of Pueblo, and Company
b. of Florence. both of the second
regiment ordered out by the governor
to supplement the forces already here
which have been depleted by the num-
Der of men ON furlough.
The activity of the military in ex-
amining all outgoing and incoming
trains and guarding all roads indicates
that they are expecting new develop
ments in the near future. Tonight
practically the entire, district is sur
rounded, and it would be hard for any
one to leave without it being known
to the military officials One reason
for this is that it is reported that the
military authorities have received ad-
vices that arms and ammunition were
going to be shipped into the district
by the union officials. 1t is said that
this was the mission of several prom
inent members of the organization
who have been absent from the dis
trict. but this is positively denied by
several of the prominent union Off
cials tonight and is not generally
credited.
