Charles ii. Meyer of the Western Fed
GRAFTON OF Miners, who has arrived in
Denver in custody of state troops after
several weeks Incarceration at Tellu-
ride, where martial law is in force in
consequence of labor troubles, was tax
en- before the state supreme court I'M
der the writ of habeas corpus which
had been issued in his case.
General Bells answer, in which he
represented that all acts of the other
respondent, Captain Welles, were per-
formed under command of his superior
officer (BelD. declared that Meyer was
an active participant in fomenting and
keeping alive the Instruction and re-
bellion in San Miguel county and that
it was necessary to restrain him for
some time to come. BellNfurther repre-
scented that he has been ordered by the
governor not to release Meyer either
upon writ of habeas corpus or other
wise until so commanded by the gov
ernor
Mr.. Meyer was then removed to the
hotel in custody of the military.
Defying the detachment of cavalry
which brought Meyer to appear be-
fore the supreme court, w. ID. Hay
wood, secretary-treasurer of the fed
GRAFTON, attempted to hold Il conversa-
ton with the prisoner while he was
being taken from the train at the I'm
ion depot. Ordered to stand back by
Captain Buckley Welles, commanding
the guard, he struck the officer in the
face. In a second he was surround
ed by a Gordon of angry troopers, who
| struck at him with the butts of their
carbincs and beat him with six shoot
ers. That he was not killed by the eX-
cited soldiers is due to the action of
Pert Givcns, the orderly of Captain
| Wellcs, who struck up the muzzle of
a gun aimed at Haywood and rescued
him from his position between two
cars where the guardsmen had him
%cornered.
Placed under arrest, he was put in
the middle of a hollow square of mi
Iitiamen and marched to the oxford
hotel neal the depot. Here he again
showed fight and was beaten into sub
mission. His injuries consist of Il deep
cut on the left side of the head and n
on the right side of the head which al
most severed the lower lobe of his
right ear.
When a demand was made by Po-
Zee Captain Frank Lee for the release
Of Haywood on the ground that the
military rule did not extend to Den
yer, General Bell replied that he in
tended to hold Haywood as a military
prisoner and would shoot any one who
attempted to take him, but neverthe-
less, under orders from Governor Pea
body, Haywood was surrendered to
Sheriff Armstrong and placed in the
county iail.
