a PITCHED BATTLE.
Military and Union Miners Fight at
Duunviile.

A pitched battle between the military
vile, Colo, the new mining camp, thir-
teen miles out of Victor, shortly after )
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
John Carley, union miner, was kill
ed.
The troops returned to Victor at 8
o'clock at night with fourteen captives.
1t was reported before the special
train left for Victor at 2 o'clock bearing
the force under Gen. Bell that the min
ers in the hills about Dunnville num-
bered about $50 men, and that it was
their intention to march into Victor in a
body and attempt to liberate by force
the inmates of the temporary bull pen
in Victor.
That the force actually consisted Of
but twenty-one men is the statement Of
those who were taken captiyes.
The train proceeded to the immediate
vicinity of Dunnville without unusual
incident. When about a quarter of a
mile distant from Dunnville's temporary
station the officers could see the camp
of the miners. 1t included one cabin and
six or seven tents.
The officers left the train at the COM
mand Of Gen. Bell, and prepared to ad-
vance on the camp of the unionists in
regular skirmish order As they emerged
from the cut in which the train had
come to stop they were greeted with
volley of shots which came from points
of vantage surrounding the hills.
The deputies returned the fire to the
best advantage possible, and promiscuous
shooting was engaged in for a period Of
ten minutes.
From the character of the shooting
from the hill Gen. Bell Immediately rec
ognized that the strength of the miners
had been greatly overestimated, and that
he had sufficient force under his COM
mand to make the entire opposing force.
Accordingly he divided the deputies and
soldiers into seven detachments, and
these set out to make complete cleanup
of the surrounding hill.
Dunnville sprang into prominence last
week when it was reported that enor-
nous amounts of free gold had been dis
covered, and there was an immediate
rush to the place by union men, who de-
clared that no others should be permit
ted in the camp. All others were barred,
but the camp was of mushroom growth
and thousands who encamped there in
the first two days Of its existence dwin-
died away fifty or hundred day.

MAY BE MARTIAL LAW.
Acting Gov. Haggott Has Prociama-
ton Ready

A Denver, Colo, dispatch announces
that Adjt. Gen. Sherman NJ. Bell, ac-
companied by a,detail of staff officers, is
on his way to Cripple Creek bearing Act
ing Gov. Haggott's proclamation of mar
tial law for that district. He has in
structions to use his judgment as to the
need for issuing a proclamation, and if
he decides that conditions warrant it to
place the gold camp under reign of the
military for the second time since the
strike OF metalliferous miners began last
August.
The framing of the proclamation was
the result of an appeal from Sheriff Bell.
OF Teller County, for troops, declaring
that an instruction exists.
The governor said that two companies
OF militia were already under arms in
the Cripple Creek district, having been
called out by the local peace officers. His
latest advices were that no further dis
turbance had occurred in the camp. He
did not know, he said, that the authori-
ties had arranged to deport all union
miners.

| al thousand dollars worth Of damage 10
property and railroad tracks is the re-
suit of the heavy rains of the past three
days il Deadwood and vicinity. Without
q minutes cessation rain fell for sixty
hours and every stream in the Hills was
running over.
In Deadwood large forces of men were
kept on guard along Deadwood and
Whitewood Greeks to prevent the
streams from becoming clogged. At mid
night Sunday night the large steel bridge
across WhitewoCd Greek on Deadwood
Street was washed away. The entire
end of the three-story brick building own
ed by Charles Waite was knocked ont
when the bridge gave way. The damage
will be several thousand dollars to the
building.
In the lower part of Deadwood the
greatest amount of damage has been
done to the railroad tracks. Practically
all of the iron bridges between town and
the tunnel are out and several thousand
feet of track made useless.
At Central City, while trying to save
the brewery owned by the Black Hills
Brewery Company, Matthew Bender, of
Lead, the driver for the brewery, was
swept away in the food. Two other
men were thrown into the stream at the

all kinds throughout Deadwood will be
very large. The food is nearly equal TO

600, and to private property, $4,000.
The railroads will suffer close to $780,
