Fatal Riot Follows.
The labor troubles that have long kept
the county of Telluride, Col, in a condi-
tion OF turmoil led up Monday to a das-
tardly deed by which fifteen men were
killed. The men were non-union miners
employed on the night shift Of the Findley
mine, and were standing on the depot
platform at Independence waiting for

pie Creek and Victor. Just as the train
approached, a tremendous explosion oc-

blown into splinters, the station was
wrecked and a hole 20 feet in circumfer-
ence and 20 feet in depth was torn in the
ground. Fragments OF bodies were
hurled several hundred feet.
Several bodies dropped into the pit

ears, legs, arms and trunks were strewn
about on all sides. Pieces OF flesh were

preaching train was stopped and the
trainmen rushed ahead to the scene Of the
disaster. They were joined in a few min

An examination Of the premises revealed
that an internal machine had been placed
under the platform, containing probably

running from his place of concealment,
and was later tracked by bIoodhounds,
but the trail was lost.

ensued and two men were killed in the fir
ing that took place. The county sheriff, a
union man, was forced to resign, being
threatened with hanging il he did not.
Over 200 arrests, mostly OF union men,
have been made. Troops are on duty to
prevent further outbreak. The greatest
bitterness exists between the union miners
on strike and the other faction, consisting
OF mine owners, non-uiion miners and
Many union men have been
