Contrary to the announcement that the sheriff had the situation under control that oii- cial, according to the affidavits was unable to prevent mobs from entering the homes of law abiding citizens, dragging them forth and beating them, and in number of instances permitted the federation leaders who l had been deputized to arrest men and throw them into jail. Deputy sher- ifs sworn to uphold law and order ordered peaceable citizens to leave town and escorted many to the train, saw that they purchased tickets and remained at the station until the train pulled out to see that their orders were obeyed.
 Men who were not members of the Western Federation of Miners and who refused to obey the dictates of the high-handed leaders of that org anization were brutally assaulted and beaten or thrown into jail without cause or complaint. Mobs forced en- trance into peaceful homes and drag ging forth the occupants gave them notice to leave town immediately. Threats of lynching, abuse and curses heaped upon men and their families at every turn caused many to leave, while lists of those who were to be arrested by certain time if they did not join the union were posted and had the desired effect. Some were forced to flee in the dead of night while their homes were surrounded by Western Federation pickets and being without funds to buy ticket walked the entire distance to Duncan.
 Driven into exile by despotism as absolute as that of any czar, given nc assistance by representatives of cur government, county or state, who were busy sending and receiving rs- ports that all was peaceful, hundreds were forced to leave their families without funds or provisions. Ameri- can citizens, owners of property at Clifton and Morenci were a large per centage of those driven out and they fared no better that the poorest fore l igner.

Phoenix, Arizona, Oct. 19th.-Dis- closing the real truth about the condi- tions in the Clifton Morenci strike district where hundreds have been compelled by the leaders of the West en Federation of Miners union to leave their homes and flee to Duncan, Lordsburg or Fl Paso, are the affi- davits which have been executed by members of the refugee colonies now established in the cities named. Over fifty of these affidavits reached Phoe- nix this morning. They had been executed before notaries at Duncan or Fl Paso and in detail set forth the brutal treatment experienced by the

All of them tell of condition which prevailed in the strike district for many days wholly at variance with the reported "peaceable conditions" so frequently referred to by the state officials in giv- ing out reports they had received from the strike district.
 The afiidavits show that for weeks a reign of terror had existed at Cliff ton and Morenci with the connivance and in some instances the cooperation of the authorities. These same author ities, some of them representative of governor Hunt, from day to day sent
