vile when John Carley, one of the
Cripple Creek miners, was killed by
the militia, deny the published report
that the miners were first to fire.
Neither were they entrenched behind
rocks waiting for the militia, accord

miners deny having fired a shot They
say it would have been easy for them
to have completely annihilated the
small squad of militiamen had they so
desired.

and mothers of the deported men, and
the scenes were very affecting. Moth

About 10 of the deported miners
