Troops in Colorado.

The condition of civil war IN the
strike district OF southern Colofado
Is being checked by the federal TROOPS
sent there by the president TO restore
order. The majority of the striking
miners are Greeks. Slavs, Italians
ami Spanard-. said to be very
ignorant and half savage, and Colone'
Lockett and Major Holbrook are hhd'
ing difficulty ia appealing TO them
directly on account Of their inability
to understand the English language.
All the strikers have been called on
to give up their guns and dlsperse
peaceably to their homes. The mine
guards agreed to give up their arms
as soon as troops were placed on the
ground to protect the mine properties.
An Investigation into the recent
battle at Ludlow has shown that the
killing and mutiiating of three
mllitiamen by strikers so angered the
state troops that they burned the
tent colony. A court martial has
been recommended by national guard
officers to fix the responsibility for
the burning of the tents and the
smothering to death of two women
and ten children.
