IL was designed to work at some dis
lance. the same as the revolver which
caused the independence explosion.
Easferly, who is strong union man,
has disappeared and his whereabouts
are unknown.
Second only to the Independence dy-
Mantle outrage was the wrecking of the
Office of the Victor Record. The paper.
which has been a strong advocate of
unionism for some time. contained an
editorial in which IL stated that the
strike was ill-advised and that It should
be called on. The result was 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 Goldheld 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 10 leave the
district, OF which each awaited himself
Day Marshal J. *. 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 volltion 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itary can be withdrawn by the middle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 OPP
erations. General Bel says. II is being
currently rumored. that the soldiers are
to be returned home in few days and
martial law declared off to see If the
deported men return. Should they re-
turn. 1t 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
hle. General Bell had heard there was
seventy-five so-called Objectionable
men employed on the properties and.
after issuing the suspension proclama-
ton. he ordered Lieut.. James T. Wal
lace, In command of 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.

Denver. June ia News special
from Holly. Colo. last night says:
About forty of the deported miners
from Cripple Creek are still in Holly.
Thirty-five of them left last night for
the west. presumably Colorado
Springs. or as near Cripple Creek and
Victor as they cared to go until quiet
is restored in the riotous district.
They are getting out of town in small
punches. some paying fare and others
going in box cars. The deported men
during their stay here have been as
quiet as the home citizens and dis
cuss the situation freely. A number
OF the unmarried men intend to seek
work in the harvest fields near this
place and In western Kansas.
AS near as can be learned It appears
that the executive committee of the
Western Federation OF Miners in Den
yer does not want the deported men to
at once return to Denver or the min
ing camps.
The men are being cared for and
meals furnished by the hotel and res
taurants here, and several OF the de-
ported men stated to-day that the
Western Federation is putting up
money to foot the bills.
A number who left last night for
the west were evidently furnished
money by friends in Victor and Grip
pie Creek, as it was given out by one
of the men this morning that the
Western Federation is not ready to re.
move the entire lot. and they may
have to remain here several days.
The rumor that the Salvation Army
people Of Amity colony, four miles
west of Holly, were rendering aid to
the deported men is false. as is also
the rumor that Prowers county will be
asked to foot any bills that the men
incur at hotels or restaurants. They
are being looked after by their sympa-
thizers In the Federation.

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 indie
pendence atrocity early Monday morn
ing, when a 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
hue. ]. 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 c. G. Hamlin of the Mine
Owners Association was addressing a
mass meeting called by the citizens.
Chris Miller began the rioting by start
dng a fight with a 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 a building
opposite 1t 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
removed from duty during the day. and
who was responsible for the arming
of the men who fred from Miners hall,
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
n 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
formed that large number of miners

Cripple Creek. Colo. June 1s.-Fol-
lowing are extracts from a telegram
sent out by General Bell yesterday in
answer to question as to his reasons
for depoTting men to another state and
what crimes they had committed;
81 deported these men from the
Cripple Creek district because in my
judgment it was military neces-
sity.
II sent them to the Kansas line be
cause l believed 1t to be the most eff
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. 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. | don't want
these men in Colorado. They are the
leaders and participants in the insur-
rection now existing in the Cripple
Creek district and 1t 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 muir
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 tempered with the machinery
on STATIONS Independence mine. an
English corporation, and dropped fif-
teen men ! 400 feet to the bottom OF a
shaft. The remains were picked up In
little pieces. All of the men killed in
these instances were men who would
not affiliate 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 I proceeded to clean IL up.
II had more than 300 men thrown
into the bullpen and / had every one
Of them put through the 'sweatbox.'
The confessions they made were APP
palling.
To-day I have absolute proof that
will send dozen local Federation
leaders to the scaffold and twice as
many to the penitentiary.
The men l 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
ed 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.
81 am going to Danish the agitators
and then ! will establish military
quarantine that will keep them ban
ished."

SAYS: Sheriff Adams returned late this
evening from Parachute and stated
that he thought that the train robbers
had succeeded in making their escape
for the time being. They were not In

night, and 1t is now thought that the
report which brought the posse to
Parachute was unfounded and that the

They have not been seen by any OF

the shooting occurred on Divide creek
which resulted in the death OF one OF
