CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT SUFFERS
WEEK OF nURDER, RIOT AND TERROR

Denver, June 1.-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
IN 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 q 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. ]. d. 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. G. Hamlin Of the Mine
Owners Association was addressing q
mass meeting called by the citizens.
Chris Miller began the rioting by start
ing fight with bystander. Miller
fired into the air, whereupon the shoot
ing became general. including, 1t is
said, shot from Victor Miners Union
hall, across Fourth street, and from the
Union store. across Victor avenue. This
affair led to a 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 building
opposite. It 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 marshal. who was

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

It is a great mistake to allow pear

It is q great mistake to allow pear
trees to overbear. As q rule, greater
profits are secured by regular annual
yields than by heavy crops during oc-
casional years. for at such times the
fruit Is apt to be generally plentiful
and cheap and therefore the profit In
handling Is small. Thinning not only
lear better the next year. The thin
ming should be done when the fruit Ia
about an inch in diameter. Look over
the trees carefully. taking one branch
at time. First pick OF all imperfect
fruit and then such as seems to over
burden the branches. No general rule
can be given for thinning trees. but ex-
perience must govern.

General Bells Statement.

Cripple Creek. Colo. June 13.-Fol-
lowing are extracts from a telegram
sent out by General Bell yesterday. in.
answer to question as to his reasons
for deporti1g men to another state and
what crimes they had committed:
II deported these men from the
Cripple Creek district because in my
judgment 1t was a military necess
sity.
Il sent them to the Kansas line be-
cause believed It to be the most ef-
fective method OF Kidding Teller coun-
ty and the state of Colorado Of an or
ganized gang Of assassins. dynamiters,
anarchists and lawbreakers.
More than that, l sent them out OF
the district for their own safety. Mar
tial law and the presence of the mill
tary is all that has prevented these
men from being lynched by the indig-
nant citizens OF Teller and Ell Paso
counties. My men have even taken
ropes from their necks and saved
them.
The deportation was the quickest
way Of restoring peace. I don't want
these men in Colorado. They are the
leaders and participants in the insur.
rection now existing in the Cripple
Greek district and II is my business
to break that up. That is exactly
what propose to do.
For ten years they have had this
county terrorized. Since the begin
ming Of the strike last August thirty
eight non-union men have been mur-
dered. They dynamited the vindicat-
or mine and caused two deaths. They
placed 800 pounds Of dynamite under
the Independence station and MUIR
dered fourteen men and hopelessly
crippled twenty others.
They tampered with the machinery
on Stratton's independence mine. an
English corporation, and dropped fif-
teen men 1.400 feet to the bottom of .
shaft. The remains were picked up in
little pieces. All of the men killed in
these instances were men who would
not afiliate with their organization.
and all Of the mines damaged had re-
fused % employ members Of the
Western Federation Of Miners.
II took charge Of the district last
week and proceeded to clean Il mp.
II had more than 800 men thrown
into the bullpen and had every one
Of them put through the 'sweatbox.'
The confessions they made were ap-
palling.
To-day I have absolute proof that
will send q dozen local Federation
leaders to the scaffold and twice a.
many to the penitentiary.
THE men I deported were indirect
ly concerned in these crimes. Those
am keeping are directly concerned.
"Forty-six Of the agitators now In
my custody have voluntarily request
cd that they may be deported to some
safe place. am going to send them
out with 100. more tomorrow. am
going to fumigate this district and
the state before finish.
II am going to Danish the agitators
and then I will establish . military
quarantine that will keep them ban
ished."

IL was designed to work at some dis
tance, the same as the revolver which
caused the independence explosion.
Easterly, who is q strong union man,
has disappeared and his whereabouts
are unknown.
Second only to the Independence dy-
Mantle outrage was the wreclking OF the
office Of the Victor Record. The paper,
which has been q strong advocate of
unionism for some time, contained an
editorial in which 1t stated that the
strike was ill-advised and that 1t should
be called OF. The result wee 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 Goldfeld aldermen, all sympa-
tbizers Of the union, were arrested
some time ago and yesterday after
noon. under pressure from the Citizens
Alliance. they resigned their positions
and other men were elected in their
stead. Upon condition of resigning the
men were given a chance to leave the
district, of which each availed himself
Day Marshal ]. X. Brothers and Night
Marshal Robert Mccarthy of Goldfield
were yesterday afternoon given twenty
four hours to leave the district. II they
have not left of their own volition they
will be deported 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 op-
erations. General Bel says. it is being
currently rumored, that the soldiers are
to be returned home in few days and
martial law declared off to see IL the
deported men return. Should they re-
turn, It 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-five so-called Objectionable
men employed on the properties and.
after issuing the suspension proclama-
ton, ae ordered Lieut.. James T. 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.

regarded as an invention Of his own
brain. The photographs In question are
those OF strike breakers and were kept
for the purpose of publishing q "scab"
list with the pictures Of the men ac-
companying their description. SO that
members Of organized labor all over
the country would become thoroughly
acquainted with these men who have
committed treason to themselves and
to their class. These pictures are
nothing more than those having charge
OF the strike in the district have pub
licly used for many months.
Charges that miners are not allowed
to vote on questions OF strike are ut
terly absurd. AS a matter of fact. ac-
cording to the constitution OF the West
ern Federation OF Miners, II Is abso-
lutely impossible for the executive
board to call q strike Of It's cwn voli-
tion.
The present strike Is the result Of q
direct vote OF the members OF the va
