The death of Mrs. Bridget McCarty
| occurred in Eureka Wednesday night.
March 2S, 1901, a the home of Ed Nc
Cormick on South Main street.
Mrs. Mccarthy was probably the old
est woman in Nevada when she died,
being 90 years, . months ana Il days
old. She was a woman of remarkable
bodily and mental health and vigor,
and al no time in her life had a physi-
clan been called TO attend her. Previ-
Gus TO her death she had been confined
to her bed for fourteen weeks from
physical exhaustion. Wednesday she
seemed weaker, but gave no other evil
dence of passing away. and so peace
full was the end that those at her
bedside did not think she was dead.
Mrs. Mccarthy was q native of the
County Mayo, ireland. She raised Ed
and always made her home
with him. About fifteen years ago, in
company with Mrs. Mccormick. she
came from her old home in Canada to
Eureka.
The funeral took place on Friday |
afternoon from Ed McCOrmick's resi- |
1ence. thence to the Catholic church, |
where services were held. Rev. Father |
Aianion officiating. A large number of |
friends We're present and accompanied |

regarding the miners strike in Colo
RADIO at meeting here of the Central
Federated Union will probably result
in the disruption of that body. Dele
gates OF the building trades and others
objected to the extreme utterances OF
the Socialists and left the hall. They
held a caucus and decided to break
away from the central body and leave
the Socialists by themselves.
After the anti-Socialists had bolted
the meeting the Socialists listened to
several speakers, appointed commit
tee to raise funds for the Colorado IN
ion miners, and Endorsed resolutions
and q memorial to President Roose'

The trouble started with q speech

CRIPPLE CREEK DISTRICT SUFFERS
WEEK OF MURDER, RIOT AND TERROR

Denver. June 1.-THE Pests Cripple
| Creek correspondent last night gives
| the following summary of the events
| of the past week in that sorely afflicted
region:
Undoubtedly the most strenuous week
in the history of the Cripple Creek
| mining district closed tonight. During
| the week there was not a moment that
was not OF the most exciting nature.
The excitement began with the Inde-
pendence atrocity early Monday morn
ing. when a planted piece OF dynamite
blew up the depot platform and hurled
into eternity eleven miners and injured
eleven others. Since then two OF the
Injured have died and number of 9TH
| crs may yet succumb.
Monday afternoon Roxie MCGEE was
killed in the mass meeting hight at the
corner OF Fourth street and Victor ave-
hue. J. d. Davis. who was injured
with others, died during the night and
the fight will probably cost the life OF
two others. The rioting started while
Secretary c. c. Hamlin Of the Mine
Owners Association was addressing a
mass meeting called by the citizens.
Chris Miller began the rioting by start
ing fight with a bystander. Miller
fired into the air, whereupon the shoot
ing became general, including, 1t is
said, shot from Victor Miners Union
hall, across Fourth street, and from the
Union store. across Victor avenue This
affair led to second riot. The military
was sent for and for a half hour
poured lead into the Victor Union Min
ers' hall from the roof of a building
opposite. 1t was only after contin-
ucus fire that the miners surrendered.
Three miners were wounded In the
shooting. none seriously. Michael
O'Connell, the city marshal, who was
removed from duty during the day, and
who was responsible for the arming
of the men who fred from Miners hall,
was arrested, together with all the
miners in the building.
Tuesday martial law was declared by
Acting Governor Haggott, and Adju-
tant General Bell placed in command OF
hundred troops and nearly twice that
number of deputies who were sworn in
for the occasion. Wholesale arrests
were made and the Citizens Alliance
and Mine Owners Association made no
secret of the fact that they intended
driving the members of the Western
Federation of Miners and their sympa-
thizers out of the district.
General Bell arrived early Wednes-
day morning. and the battle of Dunnville
was fought during the afternoon of the
same day. General Bell had been in
formed that large number of miners

shot and killed his wife and her COM
panion, Mrs. Maud Mckinney, at 1880
o'clock last night on North Union ave-
nue. near Main street.
The two women were in a buggy at
the time. Dodge rode up on horse
back and commanded his wife to go
home. This she refused to do, where
upon Dodge dismounted, walked
toward the buggy and drew gun. fir

the horse hitched to the buggy. He
began plunging, and both women fell
from the vehicle into the gutter near
the curbing. Mrs. Dodge was dead
and Mrs. Mckinney died within two
minutes.
Mrs. Dodge was hit by two bullets,
one taking effect in the left side Of
her neck and the other in the left side
Of her head near the ear. Mrs. Nc

peported Miners at Holly.

Denver, June ia News special
from Holly, Colo. last night says:
About forty of the deported miners
from Cripple Creek are still In Holly.
Thirty-five of them left last night for
the west, presumably Colorado
Springs, or as near Cripple Creek and
Victor as they cared to 60 until quiet
is restored in the riotous district.
They are getting out of town in small
punches, some paying fare and others
going in box cars. The deported men
during their stay here have been as
quiet as the home citizens and dis
cuss the situation freely. A number
of the unmarried men intend to seek
work in the harvest fields near this
place and In western Kansas.
AS near as can be learned it appears
that the executive committee of the
Western Federation of Miners in Den
yer does not want the deported men tC
at once return to Denver or the min
ing camps.
The men are being cared for and
meals furnished by the hotel and res
taurants here, and several of the de
ported men stated to-day that the
Western Federation is putting w
money to foot the bills.
A number who left last night fol
the west we're evidently furnished
money by friends in Victor and Grip
Pile Creek, as it was given out by one
of the men this morning that the
Western Federation is not ready to re
move the entire lot, and they may
have to remain here several days.
The rumor that the Salvation Arm!
people of Amity colony, four mile.
west Of Holly, were rendering aid t.
the deported men is false, as is alst
the rumor that Prowers county will bt
asked to foot any bills that the mel
incur at hotels or restaurants. The!

thiZers in the Federation.

were armed and entrenched in the
hills, waiting for an opportunity Ia
march to Victor and storm the armory
building in an effort to release their
brethren from the bull pen. In spe-
cial train with $50 soldiers and depu-
ties, General Bell proceeded to Dunn
Vile, where a pitched battle with the
entrenched miners was fought, in
which John H. Carley was shot
through the heart and killed. No other
casualties occurred despite the fact that
the soldiers were ambushed in an open
canon.
Public ofYlcials in the district favor
able to the Western Federation OF Min
ers have been forced to resign and a
number of them thrown into the bull
pen. while new officers in sympathy
with the Citizens Alliance and Mine
Owners Association were appointed to
succeed them. A committee of citizens
was appointed by General Bell to in
quire into the records of the men I'M
der arrest and make recommendations
as to their disposition.
The upshot was that twenty-seven
miners were deported. This was fol-
lowed with another deportation of sew
enty-flve to the Colorado Kansas line
Friday afternoon. In the meantime
the Portland mine was closed by order
of the military and a number of min
ers on that property arrested and
thrown into the bull pen. General Bell
has the hearty assistance of the sher-
in, Ed. Bell, who was appointed in
place of H. w. Robertson, who re-
signed under pressure.
The coroner's jury which investigat-
ed the Independence depot horror re-
turned a verdict charging that the
crime was the result of a conspiracy
entered into by members of the West
ern Federation of Miners melted by
certain officers of that organization.
Another important event in the his
tory Of the past week was the signing
OF petition by the merchants of the
district pledging themselves not to en-
play in the future sympathizers of the
Western Federation of Miners. Ameri-
can Labor Union and Cripple Creek
District Trades and Labor Assembly.
The petition was signed by nine out of
every ten merchants.
Friday afternoon X. c. Sterling. the
detective of the Mine Owners Associa-
ton, found what he claimed to be an
Internal machine in the home of w. B.
Easterly at Altman. According to the
detective. the machine is in the shape
of an electric battery and operates

General Bells Statement.

Cripple Creek. Colo. June l3.-Fol-
lowing are extracts from a telegram
sent out by General Bell yesterday, in
answer to a question as to his reasons
for deporting men to another state and
what crimes they had committed:
Il deported these men from the
Cripple Creek district because in my
judgment it was military neces-
sity.
81 sent them to the Kansas line be-
cause believed it to be the most eff
fective method of Kidding Teller coun-
ty and the state of Colorado OF an or
ganized gang Of assassins. dynamiters,
anarchists and lawbreakers.
more than that. I sent them out Of
the district for their own safety. Mar
tial law and the presence of the mill
tary is all that has prevented these
men from being lynched by the indig-
nant citizens of Teller and FL Paso
counties. My men have even taken
ropes from their necks and saved
them.
THE deportation was the quickest
way Of restoring peace. l don't want
these men in Colorado. They are the
leaders and participants in the insur-
rection now existing in the Cripple
Creek district and it is my business
to break that up. That Is exactly
what propose to do.
For ten years they have had this
county terrorized. Since the begin
ming of the strike last August thirty
eight non-union men have been muir
dered. They dynamited the Vindicat-
or mine and caused two deaths. They
placed 300 pounds Of dynamite under
the Independence station and muir
dered fourteen men and hopelessly
crippled twenty others.
They tempered with the machinery
on STATIONS Independence mine, an
English corporation, and dropped fif-
teen men 1,400 feet to the bottom Of a
shaft. The remains were picked up In
little pieces. All of the men killed In
these instances were men who would
not affiliate with their organization,
and all of the mines damaged, had re-
fused to employ members Of the
Western Federation of Miners.
II took charge Of the district last
week and proceeded to clean 1t up.
Il had more than 300 men thrown
into the bullpen and had every one
Of them put through the 'sweatbox.
The confessions they made were ap-
palling.
To-day I have absolute proof that
will send a dozen local Federation
leaders to the scafold and twice as
many to the penitentiary.
1.-THE men l deported were indirect
ly concerned in these crimes. Those
am keeping are directly concerned.
"Forty-six Of the agitators now in
my custody have voluntarily request
ed that they may be deported to some
safe place. l am going to send them
out with 100 more tomorrow. I an,
going to fumigate this district and
the state before finish.
II am going to Danish the asitators
and then l will establish . military
quarantine that will keep them ban

The Goldfeld aldermen. all sympa-

some time ago and yesterday after
noon. under pressure from the Citizens
Alliance, they resigned their positions
and other men were elected in their
stead. Upon condition of resigning the
men were given a chance to leave the
district, of which each awaited himself.
Day Marshal ]. X. Brothers and Night
Marshal Robert Mccarthy of GoldAeld
were yesterday afternoon given twenty
four hours to leave the district. Ii they
have not left of their own vo!ition they
will be deported by the military.
General Bell is satisfied that the mil
i.ary can be withdrawn by the middle
of next week Tomorrow morning ev-
cry mine In the district will resume op-
erations. General Bell says, it is being
currently rumored, that the soldiers are
to be returned home in few days and
martial law declared of to see if the
deported men return. Should they re-
turn. 1t is said. they will not be es-
corted out of the district, but hung to
the nearest trees and telegraph poles.
In addition to shutting down the
Portland mine, General Bell has issued
a proclamation closing the Morgan
lease and the Winchester lease OF the
Gedge property, near Elkton. and the
Pride Of Cripple Creek mine. These
properties were closed without trou-
Bile. General Bell had heard there was
seventy-f1ve so-called objectionable
men employed on the properties and,
after issuing the suspension proclama-
ton. he ordered Lieut.. James T. Wal
lace, in command of a squad of sixteen
guards, to arrest the miners Instead
Of finding seventy-five men, as expect
ed, the guards found but six who were
arrested. The Pride of Cripple Creek
mine has already closed and only an
engineer and two men were working
on each of the two other properties.
