Strike QuietS Down Upon
Arrival of Federal Troops

II is not worth while to venture con-
clusions in regard TO placing blame for
the different outbreaks at this time,
or until the testimony is gradually
gathered in. The effort of each fac
tion has been to place the blame on
the other, and only those who were
unfortunate enough to be in the i'm
mediate field are in position to form
anything like tangible opinions.
OF the latter, q letter received by
friends of DR. Darley at Walsenburg
gives his views as against the strikers.
Dr. Darley saw Major Lester killed;
saw the red cross on his arm exposed
directly to the view of the firing strik-
ers; says they would recognize moth
ing and would hesitate at nothing;
that more than $4,000 shots were fired
and that il will probably never be
known how many were killed. At
Trinidad blame was placed by the
military court upon the savage Greek
miners for starting the Ludlow camp
colony battle.

That they were anxious to hold to a

Colorado being today without an

il is proper that the people shall give
their utmost serious consideration not
alone to the direct cause of the

The state is but reaping the har-
vest of her own indifference over
long period of time, to the existence
Of gross civic and industrial condi-
,ions in the affected fields Of which
the entire state has had ample knowl-
edge and which have had no proper
place in an honest civilized and just
government
In this crisis the Progressive party
stands squarely for law and order and
equal justice TO all and unreserringly
denounces all organized armed resist
ence to the constitution and legal au-
thorities of Colorado and the nation.
I'VE stand for the strict enforce
ment of all laws on our statute books;
for the fullest degree of justice and
protection to both property rights and
human rights; we condemn armed
lawlessness in every form wherever
found whether on the part of the
strikers or operators or both; and the
Progressive party urges all good citi-

Looks Like Oil Prospecting
to Black Canon Visitors

The party of Delta and Montrose

Black Canon last week. were favor.

This mine shaft is but about 25 feet
deep. yet oil seeps in from the east OF
upper side, sufficiently TO burn nice

ficient gas TO cause II to ignite at a
distance Of several inches from n

The mine prospect was, however,
but one OF several objective points.
as most OF the Peach valley country
below the shaft and extending down
toward Delta is believed to overlie
n great oil basin into which oil flows
from the thousands of square miles OF
coal country above. The formations
here. with their underlying shales and
oil sand stratas, are also regarded as
favorable for oil. and all this. we un-

as practically infallible.

TWO DELTA TEAMS WON
AT cEDAREDGE WEDNESDAY

The Delta town baseball team and
the High school team went to Cedar
edge last Wednesday afternoon for
contests with teams OF that town, and
both were successful The Delta regu-
lars won by score of l2-5, and the
High school team 1e-9.
The High school game, it is reported
was a lively contest from the very
first, with either teams chances for
victory looking good, but the Delta
boys finally succeeded in putting the
winning run across the plate. The
other game was all one way and con-
sequently of much less interest. The
two games were played on different
grounds, but both were fairly well
attended
Other games are being talked off be-
