A REBELLION AT DENVER
Secretary Haywood Defied the Nation- al GUard-The Hearing of the Hab- eas Corpus Writ Issued on the Petit ton of President Mover.

Denver, Colo, April 21.-President Miners, who arrived here today in cus- tody of the state troops after several weeks incarceration at Telluride where martial law is in force in consequence of labor troubles, was taken before the state supreme court this afternoon un- der a writ of habeas corpus which was issued in his case. From the Oxford hotel President Mover, in company with General Sherman Bell and Cap tain Wells, respondents to the writ, was driven rapidly to the state house. The party was followed by thirty-two arm ed soldiers, who guarded the entrance to the court while the habeas corpus proceedings were in progress.
 Attorney General Miller and Attor- ney John Waldron, appeared in court for the governor and the military au- thorities and Attorney E. F. Richard son in behalf of Mover. The return to the writ was presented by Attorney General Miller which set forth that the petitioner Mover, is lawfully restrained of his liberty under and pursuant to the express command of the governor and commander-in-ch chief of the military forces of the state of Colorado, as a military necessity in the course of the suppression of an existing state of in- surrection and rebellion in the county of San Miguel. and that the production of Movers body before the court was done as an act of courtesy on the part of the chisef executive out of respect to the honorable tribunal of the state and rot by way of a recognition of the courts order.
 General Bells answer declared that Mover was an active participant in fomenting and keeping alive the in- surrection and rebellion in San Miguel county and that it was necessary to re- strain him for sometime to come. Bell further represented that he had been ordered by the governor rot to release Mover either upon a habeas corpus writ or otherwise until so commanded by the governor. The court heard ar guments on a motion of the petitioner to be admitted to bail pending the de- cision of the question of the courts Jurisdiction and took the matter under adyisement. Mover was then removed to the hotel in custody of the military.
 Defying the detachment of cavalry, which brought Mover from Telluride to appear before the supreme court, W. D. Haywood. secretary and treasurer of the fedora tion, attempted to hold a con- versation with the prisoner while he was being taken from the train at the Union depot this morning. Ordered to stand back by Captain Bulkeley Wells. commanding the guard, he struck the officer in the face. In a second he was surrounded by cordon of angry troop CTS. who struck at him with the butts ! Of their carbines, and beat him with six shooters. That he was not killed by the excited soldiers is due to the action of Bert Givens. an orderly of Wells. who struck up the muzzle of a gun aimed at Haywood and rescuel l him from his position between two cars, where the guardsmen had him cornered.
 Placed under arrest, he was put in i the middle of a hollow square of miIi- tiamen and marched to the Oxford hotel near the depot. Here he again showed fight and was beaten into submission. Of all the injuries received, perhaps the most serious is a deep cut on the right side of the head, which almost ] Police Captain Lee, upon hearing of the assault on Haywood ordered a pa- trol wagon ard officers to the hotal When Captain Lee arrived he demand ed the release of Haywood on the ground that the military rule did no; extend to Denver. He was then in- formed by General Bell that the prisoner would be kept in possession ot the military and that any one attempt ing to take him from their hands would be shot. Later Haywood was turned over to Sheriff Armstrong under orders from Governor Peabody. A telegram was sent to D. c. Copley, vice president of the Western Federation of Miners who IS in Kansas, requesting him tc come to Denver immediately and take charge of the federation headquarters
