ROUTT COUNTY
TIRES Of BIG
SHERIFF BILL
Commissioners Claim They Gan.
not Afford to Pay Cost Of
Keeping Deputies at Mines.
sentinel speclal Service.

Sentinel Special Service
Denver, Nov 25.-The citizens and
taxpayers generally of Routt county
are complaining of the cost for main
tanning peace in that section due to
the coal miners strike. The cost to
Routt county per day to keep deputy
sheriffs at the different mines is
S10G and the people are firing of this
expense Threats are being made
that If the trouble are not soon end
ed the citizens will take hand after
the fashion the sheep troubles were
ended several years ago in that part
of the state. At this time the op-
pressed shouldered their rifles and
went out to clean up the trouble
makers. Similar action may result
In the pending difficulties, accord
ing to reports that reach here from
Steamboat Springs.
The Routt county commissioners
have notified Governor Ammons
that If the strike continues much
longer that county will not be finan-
cially able to bear the burden OF
maintaining special deputies to guard
the mines and keep down possible
troubles. The governor has notified
the Routt county officials chat he be-
lieves the strike will be ended soon
now, and asks that peace Officers be
kept at their posts until it is known
whether the conference of today will
bear satisfactory results. If it does
not the governor will take some ac-
ton towards giving Routt county aid,
II at all possible.
The citizens of that part of the
state complain because other sections
where strike troubles exist are being
aided by the state in the matter of
protecting life and property, while
Routt county has not received state
consideration in this respect
Up to this time no very serious out
breaks have taken place in the coal
fields of Routt county. For this
reason there has been on particular
reason why state protection should
have been provided.
