BY the Mob During Last Nights Excite
ment in the Cripple Greek District
Worse Thought to Be Over.

Cripple Creek, June -9-After night
of intense excitement due to a battle
between the troops and the strikers at
Dunville, where one union man was
killed, small skirmish on Big Bull
HILL where on one was hurt, and the
wrecking of the Victor Record office
matters have quieted down in this mil
itary district, and it is generally be-
lieved that the worst is now over. A
question between authorities may arise
over the Dunville battle as it was
fought in Fremont County, and John
Carley who was killed was brought to
Teller. Adjutant General Bells right
to send troops out Of Teller is disput-
ed but be claims the authority to do
so on paragraph of orders which
gives him authority in Teller County
and the territory adjacent thereto. Is
is considered remarkable that only
one man was killed in Dunville as
there were about 200 soldiers and depu-
ties and 65 miners engaged and over
1900 shots were fired by the contend
ing sides. About 20 men were captur-
ed and IA of these are thought to be
union men.
G. c. Fridley, brother of the man
who is charged with having
killed McGee in Mondays riots
has been captured. He has been placed
in the bull pen
Charles Miller, union leader and a
member of the Goldfield city council,
has been captured at Canon City He
is charged with doing some shooting
in the Victor riot.
George Kyner, the proprietor of the
Victor Record whose plant was wreck
ed last night by the mob, said today,
that he will establish a new plant as
soon as possible and resume publica-
tion. He estimates his loss at $4,000.

Cripple Creek, June 9-Marshal
Naylor and his squadron captured
