MINERS ARE
MURDERED
TWELVE KILLED AND MANY IN
JURED BY DYNAMITE ExPLo.
sloN,lN COLORADO.

Colorado Springs, Colo, June 6.-An
explosion at the Independence station
of the Florence & Cripple Creek rail-
road at 2:3O o'clock this morning kill
ed twelve miners and injured eight or
ten others. The explosion was un-
doubtedly caused by dynamite which
had been laid under the center of the
depot platform and which was set off
by an incoming train.
Trouble is Expected.
Officials of the company and special
detectives are now working on the
case. The Victor militia has been or
dered out and troubleis expected. The
miners who were killed and injured
were all employed on the Findley prop
erty and were waiting to take a train
home. 1t was their customary hour for
taking the train and it is supposed
and alleged that rhedynamite was laid
to catch these men.
Relief Train Sent Out.
A special train with physicians was
sent from Cripple Creek as sooon as
the explosion was reported The kill
ed and injured we're taken to Victor on
special train.
No Trainmen Hurt.
The train had not arrived at the de-
pot, but was within short distance
OF it when the explosion occurred.
None of the trainmen were hurt. About
forty-five or fifty miners had gathered
on the platform and they were blown
into the air in every direction.
Awful Work of Explosive.
The work of rescue began immedi-
ately. One mans body, cut in two, was
found 100 yards from the scene. On
account of the terrible nature of their
wounds, identification of the killed
was difficult. The explosion shook the
buildings In the town and the depot,
| the platform and ndisurrounding objects
were rent into splinters.
Monster Charge of Dynamite.
1t is supposed at least 200 pounds Of
dynamite must have been used to pro-
duce such a terrible explosion. The
ground >on which the depot stood
shows great yawning cavity. The
theory of accident is secuted by every
one.
Internal Machine Found.
Later detectives found the machine
which set off the dynamite under the
platform. 1t consisted of revolver
and 300 feet of steel wire. The revolv
er was placed underneath the platform
close to the powder. The other end
of the wire was fastened to chair
| leg which was used as lever to pul'
the wire when Jared by the approach
of the train.
People UP in Arms.
