1t was rumored to-day that fifteen
men who had been deported would re-
turn here. The news spread over the
district like wildfire and it 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 ms1 tonight met the
incoming trains. But they failed to
find any. of the depcrted men.
John Harper and 7. 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 it plain
to 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
tie 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 it was
not safe for tie 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 ontheir first deportation. The
buttons with the words "They Can't
Come Back" are more numerous now
than ever.
