the search for Thomas Larius and two
other strikers wanted in connection
with the killing yesterday of Marshal
Robert Lee at Segundo, continued
early today Preparations also were
made for the coroner's inquiry into
Lees death, which was set for 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Although the excitement attending
yesterdays first disorder had not en-
tirely abated, extra guards were put
on duty last night, and early today no
serious disturbances had been report
ed. Union leaders and operators to-
day again urged upon their partisans
the necessity for the strictest observ-
ance of law and order. The only
threat of disturbance throughout the
night was an exchange of several
shots between guards and unknown
parties at Segundo in which no one
was hurt. ....
The Governors Statement.
Denver, Sept. 25.-Lawlessness in
any of the coal mining districts af-
fected by the strike will not be coun-
tenanced and if the county peace Off
GERS are unable to handle the situa-
tion. the state will step in, maintain
order and punish persons responsible
for disorders This was the program
made public today in signed state
ment, issued by Governor Ammons.
hn unu 1nt, thpt no
reason for making formal statement
was the misleading reports of his at
titude that have gained circulation in
many of the mining camps. Referring
to his efforts to prevent the strike and
later to arrange settlement, he says
that while these endeavors have been
unsuccessful, 81 shall insist that law
lessness be punished, no matter by
whom committed"
The COVE rnor's statement in full fol-
lows:
Owing to misleading statements /
circulated in the strike district, deem
it advisable to say there will be every !
cooperation between the state and To-
cal authorities to enforce order.
81 have consulted and have COM
plete understanding with the local au
thorites of all the affected districts
and we have reached the following
.'That all peace officers will arrest
and punish every person not author
lied by law who is found carrying
concealed weapons. The courts will
investigate by grand
Jury, if need be, every act of violence
and offenders will be prosecuted
and punished, no matter who
hey may be. All parties are warned
against incendiary speeches calculated
10 incite riot bloodshed or destruction
If property and offenders will be held
strictly to account. Wherever saloons
ire used as rendezvous for disturbers
heir licenses will be revoked Both
sides of this controversy are expected
o assist in bringing to judgment any {
person who violates the law" t
81 expect the counties to control the t
situation. Whenever they shall be &
lnable to do so the state will inter- e
yene and take any steps that may ap- I
,ear to be necessary to protect life q
md property, prevent intimidation t
md abuse of all kinds and restore and n
'nforce order and law l have been r
he contending parties, but I shall in ;,
ist that lawlessness be punished. no :,
natter by whom committed"
Statements issued at union and op-
rators' headquarters today express
ratification with the situation, the .'
ent of the men on strike in Las Ami g
las and Huerfano counties, and the .
perators being equally positive in
heir assertions that more men are at
-ork today than yesterday. le
Reports from northern and western IL
olorado showed conditions in those el
istricts practically unchanged The e'
overnor's announcement of the bt
Late's determination to maintain or. 81
er and prevent lawlessness was well
eceived at the headquarters of the til
forces. Apparently it tend m
i to create feeling of greater secur- fo
y among the residents of the min s
lg camps whether the individuals w
ere numbered among the strikers or hi
lose who refused TO lay down their
'ols. as
