CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT SUFFERS
WEEK OF MURDER, RIOT AND TERROR

Denver. June 12.-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 Inde-
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 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
nue.. j. 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 G. C. Hamlin of the Mine
Owners Association was addressing a
mass meeting called by the citizens,
Chris Miller began the rioting by start
ing fight with a 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 second riot. The military
was sent for and for a half hour
poured lead into the Victor Union Min
ers' hall from the roof of a 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 parshai, who was
tmoved from duty during the day, and
who was responsible for the armlng
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
a 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 n large number of miners

ATTORNEY ARRESTED.
Counsel Of Western Federation Of Min.
ers in the Bull Pen.

Denver, June IA News special
from Cripple Creek last night says.
Frank j. Hangs. leading counsel for
the Western Federation of Miners in
this district, was arrested this morn,
ing by order OF General Bell. The
reason given Is military necessity. Mr..
Hangs has been very prominent in the
affairs of the federation here, and was
leading counsel In the defense OF the
alleged train wrecklng cases that were
tried in the District Court some time
ago. Mr.. Hangs arrest was not uneN'
pected; In fact. II has been rumored
for number Of days that he would be
taken in. After he was arrested he
was ordered to be taken over TO Victor
and no one allowed to speak TO him OF
he to anyone.
This afternoon Rt 3 o'clock Majors

by two sergeants. visited Hangs resi-.

when General Bell was asked for n

were armed and entrenched in the
hills, waiting for an opportunity to
march to Victor and storm the armory
building in an effort to release their
brethren from the bull pen. In a spe-
cial train with 15O soldiers and depu-
ties, General Bell proceeded to Dunn
Vile. where a pitched battle with the
entrenched miners was fought, in
which John II. 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
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 We're 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 a number of min
ers on that property arrested and
thrown into the bull pen. General Bell
has the hearty assistance of the sher-
iff, 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 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.
Friday afternoon K. C. Sterling. the
detective of the Mine Owners Associa-
tion. found what he claimed to be an
Internal machine in the home of w. d.
Easterly at Altman. According to the
detective, the machine is in the shape
of an electric battery and operates
by means OF pumping apparatus.
There seems to be place TO attach n
wire. which has led to the belief that
The state herald., 1904-06-17

1t was designed to work at some dis
tance, the same as the revolver which
caused the lniepencence explosion.
Easterly, who Is Il strong union man,
has disappeared and his whereabouts
are unknown.
Second only tc the Independence dy-
Mantle outrage was the wrecking of the
office of the Victor Record. The paper.
which has been strong advocate of
unionism for some Time, contained an
editorial in VIII ch il stated that the
strike was ill-advIsed and that 1t 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, We're arrested
some time ago and yesterday after
noon. under pressure from the Citizens
Alliance, they resigned their positions
and other man were elected in their
stead. Upon condition of resigning the
men were given a chance to leave the
district. of which each availed himself.
LAY al. N blolli'lS anu ANlShN
Marshal Robert Mccarthy of Goldheld
we're yesterday afternoon given twenty
four hours to leave the district, If they
have not left pf their own volition they
will be deportG 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 OPP
erations. General Bell says, it is being
currently rumorel, that the soldiers are
to be returned hone in a few days and
martial law declated off to see If the
deported men return. Should they re-
turn. II 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
a 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-tiye so-called Objectionable
men employed on the properties and.
after issuing the suspension proclama-
ton, he ordered Lieut.. James r. 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.
