VIII Withdraw Troops.

Washington.-Presi Roosevelt
has determined to withdraw the fed
eral troops from Goldfield, Nevada,
shortly after the conveniIg of the
special session of the Legislature, which
met Tuesday. This intention was
made known at the White House
when the report Of the special investi-
eating commission was made public,
together with letter from the Presi-
dent to Governor Sparks dated Janu-
ary 4th.
The President says he shall be gov
erned by the recommendations in the
report unless the governor can show
that the statements of the report are
not in accordance with the facts. The
report says:
1.-The conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governors
request for troops, nor were his spe-
cifc statements established to any
such extent as to justify his use of
these statements for the purpose of
getting federal troops"
The commission expresses itself as
satisfied that out of the entire men,
bership in the miners union thee are
not over a lew uuuuIeu men VI hdI-
gerous type, while the great majority
probably three-fourths of the member
ships Of the union, were conceded to be
men of law-abiding tendencies. The
report adds:
"By permitting their organization to
be managed and controlled by men of
violent tendencies, the union as body
has thus laid itself open to the re-
proach of being q vicious organiza-
tion.
"In view Of the foregoing facts we
believe there is considerable danger
that serious disorders will be attempt
ed If the troops be withdrawn and the
mine operators insist on carrying out
their publicly announced policy. But
il handful of men have controlled
the Goldfield Miners Union and com
mitted the organization to indefensible
policies and practices, it is no reason
why the county of Esmeralda and the
state Of Nevada should tamely submit
to the domination of this same group
and should not assert their authority
and power and enfore respect for law
and order without support Of federal
troops"

Western Live Stock Exposition.

Denver.-With a premium and prize
list aggregating over $500, and with
larger list of entries of fine blooded
stock than was ever gathered together
west of Chicago, the Western Live
Stock Exposition will open its gates
to the public January goth. All ar
rangements for the big show have
been completed practically.
The management of the stock show
is going to take no chances with the
weather this year. In previous years
there has been some complaint made
that there was no proper place in
which to exhibit the horses, the cat
tie, the hogs and the sheep. When
the weather turned bad during the
show there was cause for this com
plaint This year, however, a spacious
pavilion, capable of seating between
1000 and 5000 persons has been
erected at the stock yards. A big Cir
Gle of seats built in tiers surrounds
the show ring. The pavilion is COW
cred and besides is heated by steam,
so that no matter what the weather,
spectators will be as comfortably
housed as though they were seated
in an opera house.
The active management Of the stock
show this year is in the hands OF Col
onel w. e. Skinner, who was for a
number Of years at the head of the in.
ternational live stock exposition in
Chicago and who built it up into the
greatest live stock show in the world.

GUARDING THEIR FLocks.
Two Hundred Armed Men Protecting
Twenty Thousand Sheep.

Twenty Thousand Sheep.
Denver.-A Grand Junction. Colo.
special to the Republican Monday night
says:
Appeals to the governor and to the
shoriffs of Mesa and Delta counties for
special protection having failed, and
fearing that bloody battle might be
precipitated by irate cattlemen through
whose territory they must pass and
which had been the scene Of many
range wars and murders, the owners
of 10000 sheep are sending the stock
from Montrose to the winter range in
Utah under guard Of over 200 men.
armed with Winchesters.
This great body arrived within two
miles of Grand junction at dusk to-
night and bivouacked on the Orchard
mesa. For miles around and along the
route skirmishers are deployed, look
ing for the slightest sign Of hostile
cattlemen. The guards form a Gordon
about the focks, taking turns at keep
ing watch.
The sight is the most picturesque
ever seen in this part OF the country
ana brings 10 hlnQ tne Gays WHen tne
Ku Klux Klan of the South mustered
it's wierd forces under the shadows OF
night to make impossible negro domi-
nation.
On every peak, hilltop, in the ra-
vines and along the roads and trails
watchmen are tonight silhouetted
against the clear sky and refuse to
speak. Save for infrequent challenges
by sentries of curious persons ap-
preaching too close to the line, all Is
quiet.
The owners of the sheep are mem.
bers of the Western Slope Wool Grow
ers' Association. They petitioned the
sheriffs for 200 deputies, but they were
refused. Then petition to Lieuten-
ant Governor Harper for troops was
also refused, but he sent a letter to
the sheriffs to see that the fiocks were
protected.
A short time ago John Swanson, a
sheep herder, was murdered and his
flock driven off the range. Although
$4,000 reward was offered the murderer
was never captured. The feeling be-
tween the two sides is bitter and mi
nor troubles have been frequent. The
sheep are feeding as they go along and
trouble is feared. The sheepmen will
break camp at dawn and continue to-
ward the Utah line.

While 1.-The Scottish Reformation"
was being produced in the Rhoades
opera house by Mrs. Monroe of Wash
ington, a gasoline tank used in a NOV
ing picture scene exploded. Immedi-
ately there was a wild rush for the
exits of the building. Men of mature
years endeavored to still the panic,
but their voices coulS not be heard
above the shrieks and screams of the
terrified women and children, who
composed the greater part of the audi
ence.
1t seemed as though nearly the en-
tire audience made mad rush for the
exit the moment the explosion oc-
CURED. In their attempt to quiet the
great crowd those persons who were
on the stage accidentally upset the
coal oil lamps used at the footlights.
The burning oil scattered in all di-
rections, and the lamps which were
used to light the opera house ex-
ploded, throwing the blazing oil over
the terror-stricken people who were
fighting frantically to gain the exits.
In the mad rush a section Of the floor
gave way, precipitat!ng scores of per-
sons to the basement.
1t was scarcely five minutes from
the time Of the explosion Of the tanks
until the entire heart of the structure
seemed a roaring furnace
