FEDERAL TROOPS
SENT TO COLORADO
On Admission by Governor Ammons
that State Was Impotent to Control
the Situation in the Mine
Regions.

Washington, D. c. April 90 Pres-
dent Wilson yesterday extended the
protecting arm of the federal govern
ment to the state of Colorado. Torn
Iasunder by riots and pitched battles be-
tween mine guards and striking miners,
Governor Ammons found the state
militia unable to cope with the situa-
tion and asked for help. The Colorado
delegation in Congress, the mine owners
and the miners themselves joined in the
request.
1t was one Of the rare occurrences in
American history when state found
itself impotent to assert its authority,
but the president, in telegram to the
Colorado governor, expressly stipulated
that the federal troops would confne
themselves to maintaining order only
until the state can reassert its author
ity and resume the enforcement thereof" I"
The president issued a proclamation
ordering all persons engaged in domes-
tic violence to disperse and "retire
peaceably to their abodes before April
3Dth" Secretary Garrison after con-
ference with the president, ordered three
troops of the fifth cavalry from Fort
Leavenworth and two troops of the 18th
cavalry from Fort ID. A. Russell, Wyom-
ing, to Trinidad and Canon City, re-
spectiyely.

STEPPED BACKWARD
INTO DEEP QUARRY
Charles Leonard, Employed at the Pirie
Quarry, Escaped with Life, but
Had Leg Badly Fractured.

! Charles Leonard. a Young quarryman
employed at the Pirie deposits in Gran
| liteville. had a rather remarkable escape
| from death yesterday afternoon while
| operating a gTout car on the brink of
| the quarry 1t was late in the after
noon, around $50 o'clock, when the ac-
cident occurred and through arrange
ments Immediately made at the quarry
young Leonard was rushed to the City
hospital in double quick time Drs. +.
II. Bailey, NJ. i. Chandler and w. r.
I.azell treated the patient for com
pound fracture of the left leg between
the knee and ankle and fracture OF
the patelIa Leonard rallied well from
the shock and was restored to a com
Portable condition soon after the opera
tion. At the hospital to-day he app
peared to be doing nicely and the nurses
said he would be out in six weeks if all
goes well.
Falling 40 feet into quarry hole is
not calculated TO allow man many OPP
portunities for escaping death. but Leon
ard benefited by one of the few chances
for coming through with his life, and
probably will not suffer any permanent
i'll effects as result of the accident.
The young man had charge OF grout
ear and it was when the car was near
the edge OF the quarry that he uncon-
cously took a step backward and fell
over into the hole. Men working about
the surface expected surely to see him
dashed to pieces, but he struck in such
a manner MS to soften the fall to a con-
siderable extent He was carried to the
surface and Dr. f. H. Bailey, who was
hurriedly summoned. diagnosed his in
iurics and decided to remove him to
the hospital without delay. Rather than
to wait for an ambulance the physician
put the injured man in his automobile
and brought him to the hospital.

EXPRESS THEIR CONFIDENCE.
In Raising Hotel Money Desired by
Barre Board of Trade.

Detailed plans for the campaign which
the Barre Board of Trade is to wage
| in the interests of the new hotel project
We're completed last night at meeting
OF the board of directors held in Man
tufacturers' hall. Ii is proposed to make
a thorough canvass of the city for the
purpose of raising fund OF $4,000, a
part OF which is to be used for purchas-
ing the site of the old City hotel, and
the residue to be diverted toward some
OF the preliminary expense to which the
ncorporators are to be put before work
on the structure can be started The
campaign is to managed wholly under
the auspices of the. Board of Trade and
the money subscribed is TO be rendered
the incorporators for the purposes all
ready mentioned. In no instances are
contributors to be asked to subscribe
for stock.
The meeting was one of confidence
and brimful of confidence. Before the
campaign was formally launched to-day,
the board had the sum OF 81 900 in hand,
voluntary subscriptions from public
spirited business men of Barre who are
anxious to see the project go through.
Among the campaign managers there is
feeling that their efforts in behalf of
the hotel win be met with prompt and
generous responses from those solicited,
as well as the approval of many Others
who are awaiting eagerly the fruition of
the hotel plans. If the necessary amount
can be collected at once, it is likely that
the excavation work will be started
within month or before the middle of
June at the latest. The indications are
that Barre is ON the eve of a building
boom that will mean much for the
future of the city. With a new brick
hospital and $4,000 annex at Spauld-
ing school in process of construction,
there will be good deal going on in
building circles and the members of
the Board of Trade, which comprises
nearly 400 members by the way, are
hoping that the hotel construction may
90 on apace with the other new build
ings

week All of them report courteous
treatment by the natives during their

DEATH HALTED
MERRY PLAY
AS Gree ,wNesy Rock Fell
S i, zAle O'Herin, One
~ of the Leaders
CLIMBING GROUT-HEAP
PULLED ROCK ON SELF
When Weight Was Lifted
Five Minutes Later, Life
Was Extinct

Following the lead of two other bows in
climbing the grout heap at the Wells,
Lamson Co. quarry last evening. lit
tile Johnnie O'Herin, son of Robert
0Herin, foreman Of the quarry, clam
bered onto large fitting rock instead
OF going around, as the others had done.
and his weight tipped the rock over so
that in falling it crushed out the bows
life. When, five minutes later, enough
men had assembled to lift the rock. the
little fellow had breathed his last.
The accident happened at o'clock
when a number OF boys about the ace
of the 0Herin youth, II wears, were en-
gagged in the rather hazardous sport of
ascending the great heap of rocks. The
stones 10 the pile lay just as they stop
when dumped from the grout car at the
top and many Of them are SO placed
that even slight weight will disturb
their equilibrium, making it rather dam
gerous to travel over them. Experienced
quarrymen themselves are rather care
ful about climbing a grout heap.
but the group OF youths were un-
mindful OF the danger and thew had
partly reached the top when the big rock
was met. The two leading bows went
around il. but Johnnie O'Herin, perhaps
more yenturesome than the others, de-
cided to climb over the obstacle. Just
as his weight came to bear on the low
er edge OF the rock, the almost perfectly
balanced mass tipped and threw him
backward, and the immediate fall OF the
rock gave the boy not the least chance
to get out of the way.
The other boys in the group set up a
cry and F.. Nutbrown, who happened to
be passing nearby, rushed to the scene
but was unable to lift the rock. The
alarm was given and other men came
SO that a few minutes after
the accident they lifted the rock from
the crushed body. When Mr.. Nutbrown
had arrived the boy seemed to be breath
ing, but by the time DIR. E. III. Bailey
had come in response to the hurry call,
death had ensued. the body meanwhile
having been carried to Mr.. O'Herins
home. about half a mile away
The fatality caused gloom to spread
over the immediate neighborhood of
where the boy was well
known. He attended the lower Webster
Vile school and was well liked. He was
next to the youngest of five children
who were left motherless some Yaars
ago. The four remaining children are
