COLORADO STRINGS, COlO., June, :. A special from Cripple Creek says: A posse of 300 newly selected depu " sherjtfs, armed with rifles and revOl- vers, are now securing the hills Of the Cripple Creek district with the object Of rounding up every union man and every loafer in camp. When found they will be escorted to the county line and warned never to return.
 Officers afraid to do their duty are being fired out, many of them jailed, and men with nerve are being put in thei" places. There may be many bloody conflicts, but law and justice will rule. The day of the thug and the assassin is fast approaching its end.
 An outraged mob, indignant at the disorder of yesterday, has attacked and wrecked all union stores at Victor and Goldfield.
 VICTOR. Colo, June At noon to- day the situation was growing worse and more intense, though a recurrence of yesterdays rioting experience is not expected because nearly all the union miners have been disarmed.
 The feeling against the union miners is very bitter. There are now 2Oo union miners in the bull pen and others are being rounded up.
 The sheriff, military authorities and mine owners now openly state that the wholesale deportation of union miners will occur, although they will not state when.

 Lvnching is again freely talked of, and every man is walking arsenal. All the mines are closed except the Portland and will be till after the in- quest.
 A thoroughly organized vigilance committee, composed of mine owners and their employees and sympathizers. has taken charge of the government Of Teller county ard large squards Of armed men are patrolliug the dis trict. These men are acting under orders of Edward Bell, the new sheriff, who is large property owner and an ou,spoken opponent to the miners union. Sheriff Henry M Robertson resigned yesterday afternoon under compulsion of the Mine Owners as- socistion and Bell was elected.

The injured were re- moved to the Victor hospital and the fragments of bodies gathered up were taken to the coroner's office. The in- fernal machine which did the deadly work consisted of q quantity of dyna- mite, estimated at one hundred and fifty to three hundred pounds; a loaded revolver had long slender steel wire attached to the trigger. The revolver was fastened so that by the pulling Of the trigger it would be set off. The wire ran under the depot to the crib ping Of the DelmonicO mine, four hun dred feet distant, where it was fastened to a chair. Dynamite was placed at the muzzle Of the revolver, the bullet from the revolver exploding the dyna- mite. A man was seen running away from the DelmOnico property after the explosion. On his trail blood dhOuDds were later set. The Victor troops were ordered out immediately and sur rounded the place where the explosion occurred,
