Conflicting reports as to the dam
age from rust ONE from the country
tributary to Summit. Some farmers
say there is but little damage done so
far and others say that it amounts to
considerable It seems to depend on
the locality. No doubt the rust will
cut down the total yield of wheat con-
slderably, but nevertheless there will
be a good average crop just the same,
and other crops such as oats, barley
and flax give promise of turning out
good. Pros poets are excellent for a
good price, SO there Is nothing alarm
ing about the situation.
Mrs. S. A. Alexander and Mrs. Carl
Berg met with an unfortunate expert
ence while going to Dexter last Satur-
day. A change had been made in the
roads west of S%trouseton since Mrs.
Alexander, who was driving, had been
down that way, and she followed the
old road. This had been fenced up
INT as darkness was just coming on
they did not discover the fence until
the team run into it. The ladies were
7 thrown out and badly shaken up,
and the horses considerably cut by the
wire, one so severely that it came near
bleeding to death before they could
secure help to care for its injuries.

In all parts of the country a re.
monstrance arises against the
prevalent system of education,
which makes the schools top
heavy, teaching pretentious
studies to the neglect of the ele-
mentary. In every city and to
most of the country towns there
is a futile grabbing after the
"higher branches" by children
who do not know how to spell,
read or write correctly.

AGAINST BELL
DepOrted Union Miners Say
They Were Tortured by the
Head Of National Guard
Special Dispatch to The Can.

PUEBLO, Colo, June 2O.-Two de-
ported union miners from the Cripple
Creek district, John Yates and Peter
Styler, members of the last party sent
beyond the borders of Colorado and in
structed not to return, arrived in Pu-
eblo this morning half dead as the re-
suit OF the torture to which they were
subjected a week ago in the Victor
bull pen. They were sadly in need of
medical attendance, which they claim
they were denied by the military au-
thorities. They tell a story of alleged
barbarism committed, they allege, un-
der the direction of Adiutant General
Sherman Bell, in command of the Ma
tional Guard forces in Teller County,
which is under absolute martial law.
They claim they were strung up by
the thumbs for four hours and sweated
for information they were supposed to
possess concerning the perpetrators of
the recent Victor depot explosion out
rage, which resulted in the death of
fourteen nOn-union miners and the per-
manent injury Of a score or more.
This, they say, occurred last Tuesday
morning just before the departure of
the deportation special for the State
line. Failing TO force a confession Gen
eral Bell. the miners claim, had them
cut down and hurried them to the de-
pot at the points of bayonets. Packed
in box cars like sardines, they aver,
they were twenty-four hours on the
journey and were finally thrown off
among the barren sand dunes of South
ern Colorado and driven across the
State line into New Mexico.
With great labor the two injured
miners were carried back to the first
station on the Denver and Rio Grande
road and sent to Pueblo in a box car
Here they found friends who will care
for them and endeavor to bring their
cases before the Federal Court. The
thumb on either hand of each man is
sadly torn and mangled. Their arms
are swollen and black from the fingers
TO above the elbows. Both protest that
they know nothing concerning the per
petratOrs of the Victor outrage
