Denver June 1o.-"I think the wax
is nearly over" said Gov. Peabody yes
terday. Il have news from Gen. Bell
that the Cripple Creek mines are open
and running and there is comparative
ly little disaffection among the men.
| There is no news of further trouble or
any likelihood of any. l don't kno
how man more men will be deported,
or whether any will be. l have heard
nothing on this point.
II learn from Capt. Bulkely Wells OF
| Telluride that the union men there
! concede that their cause is lost, and
| that those of them who are acceptable
to the mine owners are already at
work again. One hundred and fifty
| capable men, whether union or nom
| union. have been invited to go to work,
and this invitation will be speedily &C
cepted.
"In Silverton and Ouray peace
| reigns. The troops have all been or
dered from Las Animas county, and
only Maj. Hill remains to looh after
the closing up of the details OF the
campaign"
Peabody's Caustic Reply.
Gov. Peabody sent the following re-
| ply to a message he received from the
| Industrial Council of Kansas City,
condemning his action:
81. J. Huckett, Secretary Industrial
Council, Kansas City, Mo-: The fact
| that your council Endorses the assas-
sins, train wrecking and dynamiting
by the lawless element in the Cripple
Creek district, but proves the neces-
siIy for my present action in suppress
ing all such from the soil Of Colorado
Become wise before you attempt to
teach. james A. Peabody.
c.. G.. Kennison, president Of the
| Miners Union No. 40 of Cripple Greek,
was arrested yesterday afternoon by
City Marshal Moors of Goldfield as he
was going to the headquarters Of the
deported miners in this city. The
charge against him is murder for al
legged participation in the blowing up
of the independence depot with dyna-
mite.
The sheriff's office here has a num-
Der of warrants for other men who are
wanted at Cripple Creek.
Important Arrest.
Cripple Creek, June IA number
of arrests were made yesterday. The
most important was that of Frank j.
Hangs, attorney for the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. The arrest was Or
dered by Gen. Bell. Mr.. Hangs was
brought from Victor to Cripple Creek
and placed in the bull pen. Strict or
ders were given that he be not allowed
to communicate with anybody.
Gen. Bell said in connection with
the arrest: ut was necessary for the
peace, quiet and good of the County OF
Teller and the State of Colorado"
The contemplated withdrawal of
troops has called out a protest from
the Citizens Alliance and Mine Own
ers' association. and 1t is likely that
Gov. Peabody will be asked to continue
the soldiers in the field for an indef-
mite period. The citizens say that mar
tial law has had a salutary effect, and
they fear if declared off at present
many of the deported men will return.
Saloons were permitted to reopen yes
terday.
Forced to Leave Colorado.
About 1925 men are in the bull pen
at the present time. A list for deporta-
ton has been made out to be present
ed to Gen. Bell. The total number
sent out will be between fifty and sew
enty-fve, if the list which has been
prepared is not amended by Gen. Bell.
The destination of the new party to be
deported is not officially announced.
