1t was rumored to-day that fifteen
men who had been deported would re-
turn here. The news spread over the
district like wildfre and 1t was no
time until the committees were going
out to meet the trains. None OF the
men. however, came in on the noon
trains.
Fifteen armed men tonight met the
incoming trains. But they failed to
find any Of the deported men.
John Harper and T. H. Parfet are
expected back here to take charge Of
the stocks of the union stores and
Sheriff Bell has guaranteed them pro-
lection. He has already made 1t plain
to a number of them that there are
not enough men in Teller county to
give protection to all OF the men who
were deported should they return.
Sheriff Bell had conversation over
tAe long distance telephone this after.
noon with Mr.. Haywood OF the West
ern Federation of Miners and he told
that Official that in his opinion 1t was
not safe for the men to return to the
Cripple Creek district. There is no
question that they will be re-deported
and without doubt suffer greater than
they did on their first deportation. The
buttons with the words They Can't
Come Back" are more numerous now
than ever.
