MOB LAW STILL REIGNS.
Sheriff OF Cripple Creek District
Powerless to Protect Deported
Miners.

Sheriff Edward Bell will not guar.
antee protection to any person who
has been driven from the Cripple
Creek, Colo, mining district, because
OF his allegiance or sympathy with
the Western Federation Of Miners.
He made this plain Thursday when
he received a message from Patrick
Carvel, one Of the hundreds deported
after the Independence depot dyna,
mite outrage Carvel is now at Colo
RADIO City and notified Sheriff Bell
that he wished to return to the dis.
trict and resume his residences here
and would do so II the authorities
would guarantee to protect him from
violence
Sheriff Bell not only informed Car.
vel that he would not guarantee 10
protect him from harm, but strongly
advised him never to return to the
district. At the same time the sheriff
observed that 1t would be discreet
for each and every man who has been
deported to remain away from the
district as he did not think he had q
sufficient number Of deputies to pro
tect them.

Governor James II. Peabody Of
Colorado has issued an address en-
planning and indicating his acts IN
dealing with the labor troubles In Colo
RADIO. He refutes the contention that
the strike inaugurated by the Western
Federation of Miners at the ore reduo

ture to enact an eight-hour law,
pointing out that IL was called on the
14th Of February, some five or siI
weeks before the adjournment Of the
legislature which then had under con.
sideration an eight-hour law. Later q
sympathetic strike was declared by
the Federation in Cripple Creek to cut
off the ore supply Of the mills.
Governor Peabody then goes into
the history of the Western Federation
Of Miners. which. he declares, has
been replete with assaults. dynamite
outrages and murder. In affordins
protection to men who desired to la
Dor. the governor explains, 1T became
necessary. in my judgment, to conflns
certain men in military guard houses
as one OF the safest and most expedt
tious methods OF restoring order"
Governor Peabody denies the charge
that he Is waging war on labor unions

nothing on but their night clothes
were marched back to the Pullman
car behind. Two of the passengers
who were slow in responding to the
command of the robbers were hit on
their heads with Ratchet and one
was seriously injured.
So systematic was the work of the
robbers and with so little confusion,
that the train crew was unaware of
what was going on. 1t was not until
the engineer, in response to the sig
nal, brought his train TO a stop and
seeing nothing of the remainder of
the crew walked back to the rear Of
the train to ascertain what was the
matter, that he learned of the rob
berry. No attempt was made to rob
the mail or express cars. The rob

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Trescher were born

although they lived in adjoining towns in
Germany, they met first at Cumberland,
Maryland Mr.. Trescher was employed as
a machinist at Eckhart, Maryland, and
after their marriage on December 4, 1884,
they made the little mining town of Eek
hart their home for a period of about ten
years Mr.. Trescher then purchased farm
near Cumberland and engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits until 10 years ago, when, with
Mrs. frescher and the only daughter, then
remaining at home, he moved to FrOstburg
and has since enjoyed the fruits of years
spent in labor.
Four years ago Mrs. Trescher i'll company

Trescher has suffered from an ailment which
has rendered walking a difficulty; other
wise she enjoys good health. Mr.. Trescher
rarely knows an illness and takes a great in
terest in public affairs generally. Both are
earnest members of the Reformed church
and seldom absent from the regular church
services The aged couple are widely known
and highly respected in Western Maryland
and their many friends, both i'll Greensburg
and at home, wish them many years of
health and happiness.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Trescher have visited
their son, the sheriff, a number of times
during his term of office. They have taken
great interest in his conduct of the affairs
of the sherff's office in the great county of
Westmoreland and pride themselves on their
big sons good record.
And the good old people enjoy reason
for this pride With all his devotion to
business and public enterprise he does
not forget the comfort and pleasure of
his parents.
One of the incidents in last Sundays
proceedings was the tender of a pledge
of 800 for window in the new church

The proposition made in the Daily Ne~s
to form a league between Cumberland, the
Greek and three West Virginia cities,
evidently was not well received in the min
ing region, Judging from the criticisms of
the press. The Frostburg MINING JOURNAL
was adverse to the proposition and COM
planned that Grafton, W. Va, was left out
of the proposed organization. Grafton is
not regarded as a paying proposition, as the
team there was short-lived last season.

The NeWs had thrown out hint that
in the proposed league only two towns
on the Creek would be imperialistically
included. Morgantown, FairmOnt and

castically concluded that the two incog's
were Eckhart and Vale Summit-this
to preserve the symmetry of things.
