Cahaba Cow Thief.

Will Johnson, a negro, was placed in the county jail this morning on a war rant charging him with the theft of a " from farmer in the Cahaba val ley. i AA2MK1RR
 ihe arrest of Johnson Is considered as rather important, as 1t is believed that he is the last of a trio of cow thieves who have given the farmers of the Cahaba Valley much concern by their operations. Tom Thopmson and Tarlton Thompson, his brothers, have been in jail for some time on the charge of the theft of cows, and 1t Is thought that this last arrest breaks up the gang.

Interesting Decree.

An interesting decree has been made in the City Court. The names of the parties affected are withheld by the of- ficers of the court, but the facts other wise have a romantic tinge.
 About three years ago a woman filed a petition for divorce from her hus- band. The court made a decree grant ing the divorce and allowing the wo- man to marry, but prohibiting the hus- band from so doing.
 Recently the husband filed a petition in court asking that he be allowed to remarry and banning the woman from whom he had been divorced. In his petition he stated that he was fully able to take care of the woman and the children who had been born to them before the dissolution of the mar riage. Following this petition the wo- man filed another. asking that his prayer be granted and stating that the grounds upon which she had made her application for divorce had been re- moved. So the decree was issued per mitting, them to remarry. and the cer- emony will probably be performed at once.

Lynching Narrowly Averted.

Denver, June 14.-A News special
from Cripple Creek last night says:
Late this afternoon lynching was
narrowly averted at Goldfield, when a
party of citizens started to secure
John Brothers, formerly marshal of
the town, who was deposed from
office, and Robert Mccarthy, the night
marshal there. who was also deposed
from office. Both of these former OFF,
cials were arrested last week by the
military and were released under mill
tary guard until they could straighten
up their personal affairs in Goldaeld,
after which they were ordered to leave
the district The time stipulated for
their departure having expired and
their presence in Goldfield still being
known was the cause for the gathering
of crowd of citizens there whose pur-
pose, was, it seems, to lynch both of
the men, or at least drive them from
the district.
The military. however. was informed
of what was going to take place and
took charge of both the former Off
GERS, and at their request returned
them to the bullpen in this city. Both
prisoners were later taken to the
county Jail in Cripple Creek. To-mor-
row morning Brothers and Mccarthy
will leave for Colorado Springs. There
is little doubt that If the two men had
been secured by the mob they would
have been severely dealt with.

were armed and entrenched in the
hills, waiting for an opportunity to
march to Victor and storm the asmory
building in an effort to release their
brethren from the bull pen. In q spe-
cial train with $50 soldiers and depu-
ties, General Bell proceeded to Dunn
Vile, where a pitched battle with the
entrenched miners was fought. in
which John H. Carley was shot
through the heart and killed. No other
casualties occurred despite the fact that
the soldiers were ambushed in an open
canon.
Public officials in the district favor
able to the Western Federation OF Min
ers have been forced to resign and a
number of them thrown into the bull
pen, while new officers in sympathy
with the Citizens Alliance and Mine
Owners Association were appointed to
succeed them. A committee of citizens
quire into the records of the men un-
der arrest and make recommendations
as to their disposition.
The upshot was that twenty-seven
miners were deported. This was fol-
lowed with another deportation of sew
enty-five to the Colorado-Kansas line
Friday afternoon. In the meantime
the Portland mine was closed by order
Of the military and number of min
ers on that property arrested and
thrown into the bull pen. General Bell
has the hearty assistance Of the sher-
III, Ed. Bell, who was appointed in
place Of H. w. Robertson, who re-
signed under pressure.
The coroner's jury which investigat-
ed the Independence depot horror re-
turned a verdict charging that the
crime was the result Of conspiracy
entered into by members Of the West
ern Federation of Miners melted by
certain officers of that organization.
Another important event in the his
tory Of the past week was the signing
OF a petition by the merchants of the
district pledging themselves not to en-
play in the future sympathizers of the
Western Federation Of Miners. Ameri-
can Labor Union and Cripple Creek
District Trades and Labor Assembly.
The petition was signed by nine out of
every ten merchants.

HaiIstorm and Flood.

Denver. June 14.-A special dispatch
from Brush, Colorado. last night. says:
To-day has been one of sorrow. Never
did the crops of the valley look more
promising than they did yesterday
forenoon before the hailstorm. which
was the most severe ever known here,
utterly ruined them. The territory
covered reaches from Sterling to a
point four miles from Brush, dist
tance of fifty miles. The estimated
damage to crops and buildings will
easily reach 100000. The hail de-
stroyed the composition roof Of the
Brush Mercantile Company, the larg-
est general store building in Brush,
and the water ruined large part Of
the stock of goods. Many windows
were broken out, but the damage in
town is as nothing compared with the
loss in the country.
Farmers who have come to town say
their crops and fruit are total loss.
Many report lambs, pigs, poultry and
calves killed. and in some instances
grown cattle were beaten and bruised
until the blood dripped from their
wounds.

nittee made a personal Investigation
by % visit to the Cripple Creek district
only last week and reported to the con-
vention that the constitution of the
Western Federation Of MIXERS had been
observed in the minutest detail during
the entire prosecution Of the contest.
Absolutely no deaths have occurred
during the contest for which the West
ern Federation Of Miners can be or
ought to be held responsible. Some fif-
teen men were killed In the Stratton
Independence mine through the incom-
potency of the men employed and the
culpable negligence of the management.
These men wer unfamiliar with the
work and were such as this mine and
other mines in the district have been
compelled to employ at the behest OF
the Mine Owners Employment Agency.
We are unfortunately forced to abide
by the acts of an unbridled military
despotism that Is driving our members
from pillar to post. Their fortitude un-
der the circumstances Is the marvel
Of the age, and shows that the West
ern Federation Of Miners Is composed
of the highest type Of American citizen
ship.
Our attitude is fully expressed by the
following telegram:
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President
United States, Washington, D. CA
duty devolves upon you as President Of
the United States to investigate the ter
rible crimes that are being perpetrated
In Colorado in the name of law and or
der. We will render every possible as
sistance to the proper authorities in
such investigation, to the end that the
people of the country may realize the
outrages that are being inflicted on in
nocent persons by those in temporary
official power.

peported Miners at Holly.

Denver. June 13-A News special
from Holly, Colo, last night says:
About forty of the deported miners
from Cripple Creek are still in Holly.
Thirty-five Of them left last night for
the west, presumably Colorado
Springs, or as near Cripple Creek and
Victor as they cared to go until quiet
is restored In the riotous district.
They are getting out OF town In small
punches, some paying fare and others
going In box cars. The deported men
during their stay here have been as
quiet as the home citizens and dis
cuss the situation freely. A number
of the unmarried men intend to seek
work in the harvest fields near this
place and in western Kansas.
As near as can be learned II appears
that the executive committee Of the
Western Federation OF Miners in Den
yer does not want the deported men to
at once return to Denver or the min
ing camps.
The men are being cared for and
meals furnished by the hotel and res
taurants here, and several of the de-
ported men stated to-day that the
Western Federation is putting up
money to foot the bills.
A number who left last night for
the west were evidently furnished
money by friends in Victor and Grip
pie Creek, as 1t was given out by one
of the men this morning that the
Western Federation is not ready to re-
move the entire lot, and they may
have to remain here several days.
The rumor that the Salvation Army
people Of Amity colony, four miles
west Of Holly, were rendering aid to
the deported men is false, as is also
the rumor that Prowers county will be
asked to foot any bills that the men
incur at hotels or restaurants. They
are being looked after by their sympa-
thizers in the Federation.
