Denver Colo. June 6.--The reign OF
terror. brought on by the diabolical
plot and followed by rioting and an
assault upon the militia. exists In the
Cripple Creek mining district tonight
Men throng the streets and conflicts
are hourly occurrences. Militiamen are
marching hither and thither. making
arrests by wholesale A number Of
union miners have been placed In the
military "bullpen" and others are be-
Ing gathered In at frequent intervals
city and county officials have been
compelled TO resign Offices on account
OF their reputed union sympathy.
As far as can be estimated tonight
22 are dead and a score or more in-
jured as a result of events leading up
to the events above described.
Beginning with this morning, when
the Internal machine set under the
station platform at Findley. on the
Florence a Cripple Greek railroad, was
touched on and a number Of non-unIon
men. who were waiting for the train
sent into enternity and other horribly
mangled. events followed thick and
fast. They eliminated In a riot at tn
mass meeting. where bullets few and
AZ least one was killed and a number
injured. Later. as a company OF milf
tia was marching past union head
quarters pursuing their search for
union miners, they were fred upon, ac-
cordlng to report. by a man con-
cealed In the union hall. Soldiers
storemd the building and seven union
lists were shot The remainder OF the
men fed precipitately.
The soldiers. who were unhurt, pur-
sued and arrested a number Of fleeing
men and continued far into the night
10 scour the country in search Of men
supposed 70 have been In the union
hall at the time OF the assault. At the
headquarters OF Adjutant General Bell
in this city everything is in readiness
to promptly call for additional troops
in 0thercamps. II Is understood that
railroads have been instructed to have
engines and cars ready, and quick
run TO Cripple Greek would follow an
appeal for more soldiers. However,
the flrm tone OF communications re-
ceived from Sheriff Bell, the newly sp-
pointed official Of Teller county, says
he will only ask for further aid from
the military as last resort. He inti-
mates he can control the situation un-
less general clash Of opposing inter-
ests occurs.
