A majority of the dead and injured were single men, but several had families living in the district. escaped by a miracle. He was chat- ting with several men, unconscious of danger, when the explosion occurred. He saw a number of men rushing toward the depot and at this moment he was lifted from his feet and deaf- ened by a terrific crash. When he re- alized what had occurred he was sur- prised to find himself uninjured. H. W. Van Atta, one of the Findley miners, who had a remarkable escape from death, in describing the explo- sion, said: “The earth seemed to heave under the platform and depot and the noise made was deafening. We had been at the station about two minutes when the explosion occurred. I was thrown through the air about seventy-five feet. There were about twenty-five men on the platform and most of them were non-union miners who worked on the Findley. The Shurtleff shift had not yet reached the depot, but was hurry- ing down the hill. Had these men | reached the platform the casualties would have been doubled. There must have been 300 pounds of powder used and it must have been set off by an electric spark or revolver, as the min- ers would have smelled the fuse if one had been used.” | George Remick was hurled many feet from the platform, but escaped with only a few bruises, although heavy | timbers and rocks fell all about him. DEVICE OF A FIEND. The infernal machine with which the | @iabolical work was done consisted of a quantity of dynamite estimated at 150 to 300 pounds, a loaded revolver and a long, slender steel wire attached to the | trigger. The revoiver was fastened so | that the pulling of the trigger would not draw it away. The wire ran from Ivmdn- the depot to the cribbing of the ! Delmonico property, about 400 feet away, where its end was fastened to the rung of a chair. The dynamite was placed close to the muzzie of the | revolver, which was discharged by | pulling the wire when the engineer blew his whistle. The ball from the | revolver exploded the dynamite. | A man was seen running down the ‘hill from the Delmonico after the ex- | plosion. The Victor troops, who were ordered out by Mayor French, were so stationed as to keep persons from pass- ing over the path taken by this man and bloodhounds were sent from Canon City and Trinidad for the purpose of trailing the assassin. % The infernal machine used to-day similar to the one exploded in the dicator mine on November 21, 1903, killing two men. . By order of Major H. A. Naylor of the National Guard the bodies were re- moved from the Coroner’s establish- ment to another undertaker’s, This action was taken on request of J. S. Murphy, suverintendent of the Findiey mine, because, it is alleged, the Cor- oner had remarked before the discov- ery of the infernal machine that the death of the men was due to an acci- dent. Later Coroner Doran explained that although he ha@spoken of the dis- uster as “an awful accident,” he wag eries of Bloody Affrays Follows Dia- : bolical Crime of Fiends.

Major Navlor sent squads to aid in quelling the disturbance on street. 'When the uni- men swung into Fourth street thev were fired upon from Attack the H | houses on both sides of the street. | They returned the fire and raced on at double . « 'k until they Miners’ Union Hall. were near At that point the mob had scattered and as the soldiers | halted several shots were fired at them from the windows of the hall. The doors of the building had been left open and a dozen guardsmen fired their rifles into the hall as fast as they could work the mechanism of their rifles. After a few volleys the order to take the place by assault was given and they plunged in. It wais reported to General Bell that a number of men were killed, but none of the guardsmen were injured. The detail of guardsmen wgs in com- mand of Captain Harry G- Moore of Cripple Creek. The following union men were wound- ed: Peter Calderwood, Edwin Me- Kelvy, Arthur Farker, Thomas Mc- Manus, There were about sixty miners in the hall. Soldiers stationed in the streets and on roofs of buildings across the street fired volleys through the cur- tained windows of the hall. After exhausting their ammunition in return fire the miners came downstairs with hafds uplifted and bearing a white flag. They were surrounded by the soldiers and escorted to the “bull pen.” About 175 men are now held in the military prison. CHIPMAN GIVES [P THE FIGHT Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Cal., June 6.—The con- test over the office of county school superintendent, which has been in the courts for nearly two years, has been settled by stipulation. D. T. Bateman, who has been occupying the place, will remain in office. At the last county election Bateman beat L. J. Chipman, who had occupied the office for twenty-five years, by sev- eral hundred votes. Chipman began a contest, and by the throwing out of “No Nomination” ballots he was de- clared elected. The matter was then taken to the Supreme Court. Yesterday the decision was reversed by that court and sent back for a new trial. Then the stipulation was filed, whereby Chipman relinquished all claim on the office. It was provided that no claim should be made against the county for back salary. Chipman is now engaged in business in San Francisco. The terms of the settle- ment are not known. ——————e BICYCLE THIEF GETS A YEAR AT FOLSOM Santa Rosa Lad Pleads Guilty and Asks Leniency on Ground That His Mind Was Affected.

Sheriff Believes He| Now Has Control - of Situation. - | COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 7.—~A special from Victor to the Ga- | zette after midnight says: At 12:30 o’clock this morning the streets of Vie- | tor were still thronged with men and excitement ran high. Sheriff Bell seems to have obtained control of the situation at this hour, but the tension is so high that any little thipg might cause an outbreak. Reports of Sheriff Bell having been shot are without foundation. Sheriff Bell has sworn in more than 300 deputies. More than 100 arrests had been made by mid- night. VICTOR, Colo.,, June 6.—Rioting | broke out in this city this afternoon | while a mass meeting was being held | to discuss the murder of twelve non- union miners by means of an infernal | machine at Independence. Forty shots were fired into the crowd in the street. Two men were Killed and at least nine persons are injured. R. McGee of Vie- tor was shot through the heart and J. D. Davis’ skull was fractured by a blow from a revolver. The injured are: William Hoskins of Golden, shot through the bedy and may die; Alfred Miller of Goldfield, shot in the body and may die; Peter Flem- ing; Fred Sturdevoss, engineer at In- dependence mine, Peter Crisman, S. Murphy, H. Finch, and an unknown woman. Secretary Clarence C. Hamlin of the | Mine Owners’ Association, concluding a short address, had sald: “I want to hear what the boys in the mines have got to say about this trouble.” | ‘William Hoskins, a union miner from | Goldfield, threw up his hand and | shouted, “Let me talk.” At this the crowd began to hiss Hos- kins and cried, “Put him out.” HAILSTORM OF BULLETS. A free for all fight followed and shooting began. Most of the shots were | directed skyward. | Hoskins fell with a bullet in his body | and the crowd scattered in every di-| rection. Secretary Hamlin, who had been standing on a wagon, kept on talking, { unmindful of the hailstorm of bullets that whizzed about his head. After the first excitement had some- what died out, the wounded and the dying were gathered up. R. McGee of Victor, who was in- stantly killed, had been standing on {an embankment thirty feet above the men who had been fighting and was an innocent spectator. Alfred Miller ignd J. D. Davis were carried to the Victor Hospital, where the latter died. An eyewitness of the shooting said: “I saw them carrying men away, one shot through the head and another shot through the arm. I think that a dozen were shot.” | SHERIFF MADE TO RESIGN. | Previous to the rioting Sheriff Henry M. Robertson had been summoned to a meeting of the Mine Owners’ Asso- ciation in Armory Hall by a committee composed of C. C. Hamlin, secretary of the association; J. S. Murphy. man- ager of the Findley mine, and L. E. Hill jof the Theresa. At this meeting his res- ignation was demanded. He yielded to the demand. Then Edward Bell was appointed by the County Commis- sioners to fill out Robertson’s unex- pired term. Robertson was a union miner before he was elected Sheriff. Bell is a member of the Citizens’ Alli- ance. Nearly all the mines in the district had been closed by order of the Mine Owners’ Assoclation. and hundreds of miners flocked into town from the sur- rounding hills. Fully 1200 supporters of the association gathered about Ar- mory Hall, where it was meeting. At the same time 1000 men, armed with all sorts of weapons, were assembling on the vacant ground at the corner of Victor avenue and Fourth street, in response to a call for a mass-meeting. Most of these were union men. who declared their intention to resist to the death any attempt to run them out of the district. City Marshal Michael O'Connell hurriedly swore in sev- eral hundred citizens, most of them union men, as deputy po- licemen, after being refused ad- mission to the Mine Owners’ head- quarters. After a conference with Sher- iff Bell and a number of mine owners Mayor Frank D. French removed Citv Marshal O’Connell, who then dismised his_deputies. Then followed the rioting. After it began Sheriff Bell ordered out all the soldiers in the district. He also ap- pointed scores of deputies. i ————— MILLERS SAY THEY WILL 1 NOT YIELD A POINT Efforts of Stockton’s Mayor to Seulc Strike Have Not Been Successful. STOCKTON, June 6. — Mayor Will- fams has consulted the members of the Millers' and Warehousemen's Associa- tion. The Mayor says he has nothing to say in regard to the meeting at this time, but that they probably will have another conference, W. P. Steinbeck, | manager of the Sperry Flour Company, | says that there is no change in the situ- | ation. He declares that the millers and warehousemen determined at the out-' set to run their own business, and that if their union employes would not obey | orders they would hire men who would. Steinbeck says that the millers and warehousemen will not recede from their position, and that they are get- | ting along very well with their present employes. Allen Blair swore to a complaint against George Wills, a unionist and striker, this morning to have him put under bonds to keep the peace. ————— DISGRACEFUL BRAWL IN PRATT & TIERNEY'S SALOON | Bill Taylor Assaults Two Women and Is in Turn Beaten by the Pmpfletnr.

The de: rado compelled | Night Clerk Hugh Davis at the point lof 4 volver to open the vauilt. The | thief was in such a hurry that the in- ner safe, containing $600, was | touched. | Enough disturbance was created by | the robber in making his escape from | the office to attract the attention of John McMillan, night watchman, and | Smith, the pier watchman. Both offi- cers started in pursuit of the robber, calling on him to halt.
