Thick of the Fight.

Cripple Creek, June 9.-After
night of intense excitement, due to
the battle between the troops and the
strikers at Dunnvlle and the wreckins
of the Victor Record office, matters
have auieted down In this military dis
trict and 1t Is generally believed that
| the worst is now
General Bell will not call for more
| troops, believing that with two COM
panies now on duty and the sheriff's
deputies, he can cope with the small
| parties of miners scattered among the
mountains.
| A question may arise over the Dunn
vile battle between the authorities,
| as it was fought in Fremont county
and John Carley. who was killed, was
brought to Teller. Dunnyille is locat-
ed fourteen miles south of Victor, a
short distance beyond the border Of
Teller county, which alone has been
decided by the governor to be in a
state of insurrection and rebellion. Ad-
jutant General Bells right to send
troops out of the territory which -
under martial law is disputed, but he
claims authority to do this under
paragraph under the orders calling out
troops. 1t is considered remarkable
only one man was killed in the Dunn.
vile battle.
| The contesting forces were about
| 200 soldiers and deputies under the
command of General Bell and sixty
| five miners, who were secreted behind
the trees and hills surrounding the
new mining camp. The attacking party
left its train and walked thru a canyon

camp Is loca ted, and was subjected %

Probably 200 shots We're fired by both
sides, yet only one man was nit, as
| far ast is known. John Carley was in
the timber and was slain by steel
bullet from krag- -Jorgesen rifle. The
| dirt and rocks around the feet of the
| invaders and the newspaper men who
accompanied them, were spitted up, us

but not man was touched. Bullets
struck about General Bell and literally
! sprinkled his boots with earth and
| broken rock, but he gave orders de-
| liberately, and after several minutes
! of hot work desultory firing was kept
/ up for an hour. About twenty men
| were captured. Fourteen of these, who
are members of the Miners Unions,
were brought into camp and imprison-
| ed. the others being released.
| One of the wild chases in the gen.
eral man hunt that the military is
| continuing. ended in the capture of
IC. c. Friedley, at Thompson ranch.
Three Friedley brothers, miners, had
gone southwark, as one of them was
suspected of having fired the shot that
killed RoXie McGee in the riot Mon
day. The military gave chase. After
being captured Friedley refused to
talk, but after the soldiers had placed
a rope about his neck he told them
which way his brothers and another
man had gone. Friedley was brought
to Victor and placed in the bull pen.
Chris Miller a union leader and mem-
Der of the Goldfield city council, has
been captured at Canon City, and will
be brought back to camp. He is
charged with having done some shoot

wrecked last night by mob, said to-
day that he will establish a new plant
as soon as possible. He estimated his
loss at $4,000. Though the Record has
been the official organ of the Miners
Union since the strike began it has
vigorously denounced the assassina-
tions, which took place at lndepend
ence Monday and has been outspoken
in support of law, order and justice.
