WITH OTTUMWA.

We had eleven games with OttumWa
shat were reported on oskaloosa credit
slips. Two of these games were taken
to ottumwa by consent. Both were Sun
day games and the first one was the big
gest crowd winner Of any game played
during the league season and 2.116 paid ad-
missions were taken in. Oskaloosa some
way fought the head-enders successfully
and of the eleven games we got four. They
shut us out twice on our own grounds.

AT BURLINGTON.

We broke even with the Flint Killers.
1t was four and four. We should have
had more by rights, but we took the two

outs for either team.

AT OTTUMWA.

Only three of the series at ottumwa
were possible on account of weather condi-
tions. On the second trip three games
were postponed in succession. oskaloosa
took two of her games to ottumwa, how
ever, making five played with oskaloosa in
that city. Two of these are recorded in
our at home games. OF the three games
we won just one, shutting ottumwa out on
Peck Hobbs pitching. Next they admin
istered US a shut out.

CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT SUFFERS
WEEK OF MURDER, RIOT AND TERROR

Denver, June 1.-THE Posts Cripple
Creek correspondent last night gives
the following summary of the events
of the past week in that sorely- afflicted
region:
Undoubtedly the most strenuous week
IL the history of the Cripple Creek
mining district closed tonight. During
the week there was not a moment that
was not of the most exciting nature.
The excitement began with the lnde-
pendence atrocity early Monday morn
ing, when a planted piece OF dynamite
blew UP the depot platform and hurled
into eternity eleven miners and injured
eleven others. Since then two of the
injured have died and a number of 9TH
ers may yet succumb.
Monday afternoon Roxie MCGEE was
killed in the mass meeting fight at the
corner of Fourth street and Victor ave
IIe. ]. ID. Davis, who was injured
with others. died during the night and
the fight will probably cost the life OF
two others. The rioting started while
Secretary C. C. Hamlin of the Mine
Owners Association was addressing a
mass meeting called by the citizens.
Chris Miller began the rioting by start
ing a fight with bystander. Miller
fired into the air. whereupon the shoot
ing became general, including. it is
said, shot from Victor Miners Union
hall, across Fourth street, and from the
Union store across Victor avenue. This
affair led to a second riot. The military
was sent for and for half hour
poured lead into the Victor Union Min
ers' hall from the roof of building
opposite. 1t was only after a contin-
ucus fire that the miners surrendered.
Three miners were wounded in the
shooting, none seriously. Michael
O'Connell. the city marshal, who was
removed from duty during the day. and
who was responsible for the arming
of the men who fired from Miners hall,
was arrested. together with all the
miners in the building.
Tuesday martial law was declared by
Acting Governor Haggott. and AdJu-
tant General Bell placed in command of
hundred troops and nearly twice that
number of deputies who were sworn in
for the occasion. Wholesale arrests
were made and the Citizens Alliance
and Mine Owners Association made no
secret of the fact that they intended
driving the members of the Western
Federation of Miners and their sympa-
thizers out of the district.
General Bell arrived early Wednes-
day morning. and the battle of Dunnville
was fought during the afternoon of the
same day. General Bell had been in
formed that a large number of miners

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.

General Bells Statement.

Cripple Creek. Colo. June 13.-Fol-
lowing are extracts from a telegram
sent out by General Bell yesterday, in
answer to question as to his reasons
for deporting men to another state and
what crimes they had committed:
Il deported these men from the
Cripple Creek district because in my
judgment 1t was a military neces-
sity.
Il sent them to the Kansas line be-
cause / believed 1t to be the most ef-
fective method of Kidding Teller coun-
ty and the state of Colorado of an or
ganiZed gang of assassins. dynamiters,
anarchists and lawbreakers.
More than that. / sent them out of
the district for their own safety. Mar
tial law and the presence of the mill
tary is all that has prevented these
men from being lynched by the indig-
nant citizens of Teller and Ell Paso
counties. My men have even taken
ropes from their necks and saved
them.
THE deportation was the quickest
way of restoring peace. l don't want
these men in Colorado. They are the
leaders and participants in the insur.
rection now existing in the Cripple
Creek district and it is my business
to break that up. That is exactly
what l propose to do.
For ten years they have had this
county terrorized. Since the begin
ming of the strike last August thirty
eight non-union men have been muir
dered. They dynamited the Vindicat-
or mine and caused two deaths. They
placed 800 pounds of dynamite under
the Independence station and muir
dered fourteen men and hopelessly
crippled twenty others.
They tampered with the machinery
on Stratton's Independence mine, an
English corporation. and dropped If
teen men l 400 feet to the bottom Of a
shaft. The remains were picked up in
little pieces. All of the men killed in
these instances were men who would
not affiliate with their organization
and all of the mines damaged had re-
fused to employ members Of the
Western Federation of Miners.
II took charge of the district last
week and l proceeded to clean 1t up.
81 had more than 400 men thrown
into the bullpen and l had every one
of them put through the 'sweatbox
The confessions they made were ap-
palling.

ly concerned in these crimes. Those

were armed and entrenched in the
hills, waiting for an opportunity tL
march to Victor and storm the armory
building in an effort to release theiI
brethren from the bull pen. In a 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. SO
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
was appointed by General Bell to in
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
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-
If, Ed. Bell, who was appointed in
place of II. w. Robertson, who re-
signed under pressure.
The coroner's jury which investigat-
ed the Independence depot horror re-
turned verdict charging that the
crime was the result of a 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.

has disappeared and his whereabouts
are unknown.
Second only to the Independence dy-
Mantle outrage was the wrecking of the
Office of the Victor Record. The paper,
which has been a strong advocate OF
unionism for some time. contained an
editorial In which it stated that the
strike was ill-advised and that it should
be called off. The result was that the
following night eight men entered the
office, stuck up the employees and de-
molished every bit of machinery with a
sledge hammer they brought into the
building.
The Goldfield aldermen, all sympa-
thiZers of the union, were arrested
some time ago and yesterday after
noon. under pressure from the Citizens
Alliance, they resigned their positions
and other men were elected in their
stead. Upon condition of resigning the
men were given a chance to leave the
district, of which each availed himself
Day Marshal j. X. Brothers and Night
Marshal Robert Mccarthy of Goldfield
were yesterday afternoon given twenty
four hours to leave the district. If they
have not left of their own volition they
will be deported by the military.
General Bell is satisfied that the mil
itary can be withdrawn by the middle
of next week. Tomorrow morning ev-
cry mine in the district will resume op-
erations. General Bell says. it is being
currently rumored. that the soldiers are
to be returned home in a few days and
martial law declared off to see il the
deported men return. Should they re-
turn. it is said. they will not be es-
corted out of the district. but hung to
the nearest trees and telegraph poles.
In addition to shutting down the
Portland mine, General Bell has issued
proclamation closing the. Morgan
lease and the Winchester lease of the
Gedge property. near Elkton, and the
Pride of Cripple Creek mine. These
properties were closed without trou-
BILE. General Bell had heard there was
seventy-five so-called Objectionable
men employed on the properties and.
after issuing the suspension proclama-
ton, he ordered Lieut.. James T. Wal
lace. in command of a squad of sixteen
guards. to arrest the miners. Instead
of finding seventy-five men, as expect
ed. the guards found but six. who were
arrested The Pride of Cripple Creek
mine has already closed and only an
engineer and two men were working
on each of the two other properties.

Train Robbers At Large.

Denver, June 13.-A News special
from Glenwood Springs last night
says: Sheriff Adams returned late this
evening from Parachute and stated
that he thought that the train robbers
had succeeded in making their escape
for the time being. They were not in
the house which was guarded last
night, and it is now thought that the
report which brought the posse to
Parachute was unfounded and that the
robbers were not in that locality at all.
They have not been seen by any OF
the sheriff's men since the day when
the shooting occurred on Divide creek
which resulted in the death of one OF
the trio. For the time being the
search will be abandoned.
