Dunnville sprang into prominence
last week, when it was reported that
enormous quantities of free gold had
been discovered, and there was an I'M

men, who declared that no others
should be permitted in the camp. But
the camp was of mushroom CROWN
and the thousands who encamped there
in the first two days of its existence
dwindled away to fifty or hundred
day. General Bell expressed the opln-
ion that the camp was nothing but
decoy and would be used by the miners
as a base of operations.
Dunnville is about twenty miles south
of here, and is said to be in Fremont
County, which has not been declared
by the Governor to be in state OF IN

MAKE A BREAK
FOR FREEDOM
Two Desperate Criminals
Give Battle to Deputies

TRUSTEES AID OFFICERS
One of the Prisoners Gets
Into the Street, but Is
Retaken After Short Chase
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, June 81. 3. Allison
and Edgar Marshall, two of the most
desperate prisoners in the County
Jail, made an attempt to escape this
morning. An exciting battle was
fought between the deputies and the
prisoners, the tide being turned in IA
vor of the officials by the TRUSTEES.
Marshall and Allison sawed the bars
of the steel cage in which they were
confined and when Deputy Sheriff
Hippo was experimenting the removal
OF garbage from the cage to the kitch-
en- the desperate men made a break
for liberty. The door of the room in
which the cage is located was open.
1t leads to the jailer's office, and from
the office there is a passage to the
kitchen, where a door leads to the
outside world
Marshall ran into the jailer's office,
where Deputy Sheriff Hogan was Iy-
Ing on couch. Hogan felled Mar
shall with blow on the chin and
then pushed him into a cell used for
special occasions and slammed the
door. Allison, who came behind, at
tackled Hogan with a razor, and four
TRUSTEES went to the assistance of the
deputy. One of the TRUSTEES held Mar
shall in the cell while the fight was in
progress. Allison finally forced his
way through the TRUSTEES and ran into
the kitchen, where he knocked down
Deputy Hippo, who had gone to close
the outer door. According to the rules
of the prison, Hippo was unarmed
When Allison ran out of the door into
the street Hippo gave chase. Picking
UP a piece of rock he threw it at AL
lison and striking him on the head
stunned him for a moment When
Allison recovered his senses Hippo was
on top of him.
Allison, who is very powerful fell
low, wrenched away from Hippo and
made another dash for liberty Dep

went heavily armed but also had a
big supply of ammunition on hand.
The Hodson strike was in progress
during a portion of their stay and one
of them was particularly vindictive
against the non-unionists, saying that
if he had his way he would blow them
up. There were many conferences be-
tween the strangers in their rooms.
They paid their bills promptly and
seemed to have plenty of money. One
of them left the house in March and
told the landlady that he had a letter
from Denver summoning him there for
work, as Federation men were needed
owing to the fact that many of the
strike leaders were in the bull pen"
The other men did not say where they
were going. Just previous to leaving
the men spent some time in their
packing. They made considerable
noise pounding. as if closing up a
box. They cautioned Mrs. Wilson
about answering any inquiries con-
corning them and instructed her to
deny that they had stopped at her
lodging-house.

ExILEs REACH DENVER.
Claim They Were Robbed Before
Their Deportation

DENVER, June S.-The twenty-four
deported union miners from the Cripple
Creek district exiled because of the
riots in that section, rode into Denver
early this morning on a special train
over the Denver and Rio Grande. In
the rear of the car stood nine guards,
armed with shotguns and army rifles,
who had been deputize6 to conduct
them to Denver from the gold camp.
The miners were unarmed. Nearly all
were penniless. The men were met by
about forty of the delegates to the
convention of the Western Federation
of Miners and were taken to a restau-
rant

later engaged rooms in the lodging
house there and took their trunks and
baggage there. The house was proba-
bly, selected because one of them knew
Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson happened in
the room one morning and was sur
priced to find them unpacking box
labeled dynamite and placing the con-
tents in trunk Glancing- into an
open trunk she also saw a lot of giant
powder. The box from which they
had unpacked the dynamite they gave
to her for kindling, cautioning her to
expose it to the sun for a few days,
otherwise it might be dangerous. Mrs.
Wilson claims that at the time she did
not appreciate the-fuH meaning of the
mems action or of their subsequent
remarks. They told her they were
miners and used the explosives in
their business. On another occasion
she saw lot of Illuminating caps. Her
knowledge of the nature of the ex-
plosives and caps is due to the fact
that she was raised in the mountains.

Unionists ridicule the theory of the
mine operators that any significance
attaches to the marked photographs
of non-union miners found at the Vic
tor union headquarters. A union
leader said to-day:
THE purpose in bringing pictures is
to prevent a strike-b breaker assuming
an alias and securing work in union
camp. Hundreds of strike breakers
have left here during the past few
months, and, by means of photo
graphs, we have made it impossible
for them to secure work in union
camps, though many have tried.

FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED.
Rumor That All Union Men Will Be
Ordered Out of District.


DENVER, June S.-Although the
trend of opinion expressed by the res
idents of the towns surrounding Grip
pie Creek, the scene of the exciting
events of the last three days, is that
order will resume sway rapidly now,
there is an evident feeling of fear lest
other and more serious clashes occur
between the established authorities
and the supporters of unionism in the
camp. This is due to the persistent
report which has gained circulation,
but which is given little credence, that
all members of labor unions, regard
less of their occupations, will be asked
to leave the district under pain of de-
portation.
The two fights to-day between the
soldiers and the union miners--the
one at Dunnville threatening at first
to have extremely serious results
form the main topic of discussion
throughout the camp. The Big Bull
Hill affair was simply skirmish be-
tween union men and soldiers who
were searching the hills for minersl
wanted by the authorities.
Further designations of city Of
ficials occurred to-day, in some
instances effecting almost a complete
change in the official roster of town
government. 1A
