Troops Ready to Act.

Denver, June 7.-Acting Governor
Haggott is prepared to throw all of the
available troops of the National guard
into Victor should a call for assistance
come from that city.
From the time the news Of the ter
rible catastrophe at Independence
reached the capitol yesterday all on
cialdom was on the qui vive for fur
ther trouble, and conferences between
the acting governor and AdJt. Gen. Bell
were of almost half hourly occurrence.
Plans for handling the state militia In
all possible situations were discussed,
as everyone in the stnte house was OF
the opinion that demand for troops
would follow quickly upon the heels Of
the first bad news.
By the time word arrived that bull
let's had begun TO fly, General Bell was
prepared to move the militia within an
hours time. But there came no call
for troops, nor had there been such
call up to lste hour last night.

exploded between fifty and hundred
pounds OF dynamite, judging from its
effect, which had been surreptitiously
placed beneath the platform in prep
aration for the commission of the
crime.
A number of buildings surrounding
the Independence station and which
were damaged more or less by the ex-
plosion had been occupied as homes
by union miners now on strike in the
district
Warning had been given these, and
none within the reach Of the explosion
were at home when it occurred.
Fortunately the hoisting at the
Shurtloff mine near by had been de-
layed. and the forty or more miners
employed on that property had not
been released to take the train, as was
their custom.
But for this, and with a little more
careful planning of this plot by the as
sassins, 100 men might have met death
in the explosion.

murder, and that it was perpetrated by
union miners is not denied, and is be-

DEADLY DYNAMITE EXPL LOSION AND
RIOTS IN CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT

Denver, June THE Republican
correspondent at Victor gives the fol-
lowing account Of the terrible dyna-
mite explosion at the Independence
depot yesterday morning:
The most dastardly crime ever COM
mitted in the annals of the West cost
the lives of thirteen miners en-
ployed at the Findley mine, crippled
many others for life and has precipi-
tated q condition of riot In the Cripple
Creek district which has cost at least
one other life and before peace Is
again restored may cost many more.
At 2:35 o'clock a. M, at the change
Of shifts at the Findley mine, between
nifty and sixty of the miners working
on the property passed down the hill
a few hundred feet to the Independ-
ence depot Of the Florence & Cripple
Creek railway, there to board the COM
ing suburban train for their several
homes in Victor and Cripple Creek.
They had completed their nights
work, the train had whistled for the
station and was slowing up for the
platform to take these men aboard.
Suddenly terrific explosion occur
ring under the platform Of the depot
tossed nearly one-haH of the waiting
miners high into the air, mangled the
bodies Of ten of them almost beyond
Identification, killing Immediately
eleven, injuring two to such an ktent
that they died soon after their arrival
at the hospital, and manning i've for
life.
The scene following is one beyond
description. The fsrce of the explosion
put out lights in Altman, mile and a
half away, broke windows in Goldfield
and Independence, wrecked a number
of homes near the depot and tore an
immense cavern in the ground where
the depot platform and building had
once stood.
The platform of the depot stood
high above the ground and was open.
There is no agent at the station at
night.

night and preparations were made to
enforce the order given a few days ago
to 0. A. F1oaten Of the Peoples Store,

to leave Tuesday morning and 1t Is un-
derstood that they will be forcibly de-
ported.
It is reported here that there will be
wholesale deportations within the next
few days. The report Is to the effect
that about 125 more agitators are
marked for deportation.
Congressman H. NJ. Hogg is attor-
ney for the men, and has advised them
not to leave voluntarily. but remain
until they are forcibly deported. A
telegram was sent to Governor Pea
body to-day urging that the order Of
deportation be rescinded. A telegram
was also sent to President Roosevelt,
but late tonight no reply had been re-
ceived. The message to Washington
was as follows:

homes by June 7th. but do not intend
to do 30. We, as citizens OF the Unit

Cripple Creek with all available physi-
clans. by Mr.. Carlton. Mr.. Murphy and

scription.
The body Of one man had been blown
seventy-five yards away. two feet OF
others were found on the Delmonico
dump 400 feet away.
The hillside was covered with por-
tions of flesh and the nearby buildings
spotted with blood.
The injured were placed upon the
train and hastened to the hospital in
Victor. A return trip was made for the
bodies Of the dead, and everything pos
sible done toward gathering up the re-
mains.
There had been many miraculous es-
capes from the effects of the explosion.
Fully two-thirds of the men waiting
on the platform were able after few
minutes to render assistance to the in
jured.
Officers from Cripple Creek came
upon the scene soon after the removal
of the bodies. Under Sheriff ]. Knox
