Cripple Creek. Col., June 9.—“ Death
to unionism in the Cripple Creek dis
trict” is the new slogan of the Citi
zens’ Alliance, Vhich has sent a de
cree broadcast that every person con
nected with any union here must eith
er sever his or her connection with
such organization, or leave the district.
Tyson S. Dyes, a Denver at
torney and one of the executors of the
Stratton estate, is here in conference
with Citizens' Alliance leaders, and it
is announced that he is preparing a
form which will be presented to every
merchant and business man and all
other employers of labor in the entire
district, pledging them not to employ
any person who is affiliated with a la
bor union.
This is considered the most drastic
step yet taken by the alliance since it
secured the upper hold in the district,
and its enforcement will affect 3,000
men and women now affiliated with
the various unions.
Gen. Bell issued a statement to-day
regarding the raid on the Victor Rec
ord office last night, in which the
newspaper plant was destroyed, caus
ing a loss of SB,OOO. Gen. Bell emphat
ically condemns the act and says the
perpetrators will be landed in the bull
pen if apprehended. Editor Tyner of
the Record said to-day that he did not
believe union miners wrecked his of
fice because of his editorial advising
that the strike be called off. He said
union miners approved his course.
In the Bull Pen.
The Mining Exchange hall is being
used as a bull pen, in addition to the
Victor armory. Armed deputies are
placed in the galleries of the exchange,
the prisoners occupying the pit of the
call room. Several guards are at the
door, each carrying repeating shot
guns that contain buckshot. Families
and wives of the prisoners constantly
endeavor to see and talk with the hus
bands and-fstMers incarcerated, in
> fnost cases permission being refused.
Five of the six members of the Gold
field City Council are in the bull pen,
so that the town is without an ex
ecutive body.
The Committee on Safety has made
a demand on District Attorney Henry
Trowbridge that he remove his deputy.
J. C. Cole, and also requested that S.
D. Crump be appointed to fill the
vacancy. Crump is the attorney for the
Mine Owners Association.
Sheriff Edward Bell to-day appointed
L. F. Parson of Cripple Creek under
sheriff of Teller county and the ap
pointment was confirmed by the county
commissioners at once. Mr. Parson is
secretary of the Cripple Creek Mining
Exchange.
To Hold an Inquest.
Coroner George Hall, who succeeded
Coroner James Doran, who resigned
under compulsion, to-day empanelled
anew jury, which will hold an inquest
over the men murdered at Independ
ence with an infernal machine.
Marshal Naylor and his squad cap
tured George Gridley to-day near Ca
non City and returned with him to
Victor. He is charged with having
killed Roxie McGee in Victor Monday
and with having attempted to shoot
C. C. Hamlin, secretary of the Mine
Owners' Association, when he was ad
dressing the meeting in Victor last
Monday.
BELL ORDERS THAT A
MINE CLOSE DOWN.
Has Reon Harboring I)nni(rrona and
Vdin'ldia Men.
Victor, Col., June 9. —Adjt. Gen.
Sherman M. Bell, commander of the
Teller county military district, to-day
ordered the Portland mine, which em
ploys union men, closed down. The
order asserts that the mine has been
harboring dangerous and lawless men,
who have aided and encouraged those
guilty of recent crimes and outrages in
the district.
The Portland is the only large mine
in the district that has continued in
operation since the explosion at In
dependence on Monday, which killed
or maimed more than t.venty men union
miners. The Portland Gold Mining
Company, through its president and
manager, James F. Burns, who is not
a member of the Cripple Creek District
Mine Owners’ Association, conceded the
demands of the union when the strike
was inaugurated last August, and has
steadily given employment to about 500
men.
Gen. Tse!l also issued a proclamation
calling on all persons to refrain from
violence and to resume their usual oc
cupations.
The commission appointed by Gen.
Kell to inquire into the records of the
miners under arrest reported to htm
to-day a list of ninety-seven union
miners, with the recommendation that
they be deported. Gen. Bell accepted
their report and announced that the
men would he sent out of Teller coun
ty as soon as a special train crew had
been arranged for.

SON OFFERS REWARD FOR
SLAYER OF HIS MOTHER.
Death <f Mrs. Carlisle at Jucknon
ville Is Still a Mystery.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 9.—Clarence
H. Carroll to-day offered a reward of
SSOO for the arrest, with evidence to
convict, of the murderer of his mother,
Mrs. Mattie E. Carlisle, who was dis
covered In her room dead Sunday
morning.
Aside from the offer of the reward
there are no new developments in the
case. No clue has yet been discovered.
The missing watch has not been found,
and it seems that upon the finding of
this watch rests the only hope of a
clue.
The funeral services were held to
day over the body of Mrs. Carlisle,
being conducted from the undertaking
parlors .of Charles A. Clark by Rev.
W. A. Hobson of the First Baptist
Church.,
Clarence M. Carroll, son of the dead
woman, who works for a New York
firm, visited the home of his mother
to-day and states that he is more con
vinced than ever that his mother was
murdered, discrediting the theory of the
physicians that she, died of uremic
seizure.
The matter will be officially brought
to the attention of Gov. Jennings, to
have him offer a reward for the ar
rest of the supposed assassin.
Dr. Carroll said he knew it was Mrs.
Carlisle’s habit to wear a double-case
watch, connected with a long neck
chain. This watch cannot be found.
“I know, also," he said, “that it was
a kind of hobby of hers to keep an
amount of gold in the house. Up until
the time 1 left home she kept a num
ber of gold pieces in the house. This
probably amounted to as much at S2OO
or S3OO. It is possible that she had
deposited this money, and that this
amount is included in her bank ac
count. I cannot say as to that.
“Another circumstance connected
with her death is the fact that no
change was found in her pocketbook,
and that the only money found was
that which was concealed in a laundry
bag.
“My mother paid cash for every
thing; it was a habit of her life; she
thought it more satisfactory in every
way. Under the circumstances, it
seems probable that she would have
had some money easily accessible for
the payment of her bills, particularly
as it was Saturday.
“I am compelled to scout the idea
of a natural death. My mother never
complained of feeling unwell. She
worked hard, and I often tried to get
her to come up and visit me for a
rest, but she never said anything of
feeling unwell, and I cannot believe
that under the circumstances her death
was the result of natural causes."
The Times-Union says: “The home of
Mrs. Carlisle, on Church street, has
been without an occupant since Satur
day night of last week. It is a neat
and attractive little home, and one
which she had made with her own
hands. She planned the building her
self, and earned the money with which
to erect it with her needle. At the
time of her death she was engaged in
making a dress for a bride.”
KILLED BY A CAVE'IN.
Atlanta Hull One Man Lose His l.lfei

Atlanta, June 9.—One man dead, two
probably dying and two more in a
precarious condition was the result of
a cave-in late this afternoon on Mitch
ell street, near the center of the tityV
where excavations were being made fof
the foundations of anew business
block. All the men were negroes.
Eight men were engaged at the work
when tons of earth, with little warn
ing, slipped down on them from one
side of the excavation.
The escape of the five was stopped
by a wagon, which was being loaded
with the dirt.

Philadelphia, June 9.—Philander C.
Knox of Pittsburg, Attorney General
of the United States, was selected to
day to fIU the seat in the United
States Senate made vacant by the
death of Mathew Stanley Quay. He
will accept and serve by appointment
of Gov. Pennypacker until March 4,
the date of the expiration of the late
Senator’s commission. Unless political
complications should arise as a result
of to-day's action he will be elected
for the full term by the Legislature,
which meets in January.
It is expected that Attorney General
Knox will remain in the cabinet until
December.
The selection of Attorney General
Knox came as a surprise to the poli
ticians of the state. His name had not
been considered by United States Sen
ator Penrose, who as chairman of the
Republican State Committee, along
with Israel W. Durham, the Philadel
phia leader, had the naming of Quay’s
successor.
Frick Turned the Trick.
Yesterday afternoon, however, Henry
C. Frick of Pittsburg, a director of
the United States Steel Corporation,
came to this city and formally an
nounced that the Attorney General was
a candidate for the place, and that
he came here in Mr. Knox's interests.
As the leaders had decided that Al
legheny county, in which Pittsburg
is situated, was to have the place,
he thought the leaders could have no
objection to the Attorney General.
This caused considerable agitation in
the Pittsburg delegation, which had al
ready named four men for the vacancy.
At first it was expected that Mr. Knox
would be opposed, but after a series
of conferences the Pittsburg delegation
accepted Mr. Knox and the public an
nouncement of their action soon fol
lowed.
Whether the selection of Attorney
General Knox as Quay’s successor will
cause complications to arise within the
Party.in this-state is difficult to tray.
It is knotvn that the agreement on
Knox Is not satisfactory to all interests
within the organization.
Attorney General Knox was in the
city for a short time to-day, and then
went to the farm of A. J. Cassatt,
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
where the Farmers Club, a dining or-
ganlzatlon of wealthy men, gave a
dinner to-night. Among others present
were Senator Penrose. Mr. Frick, Gov.
Pennypacker, Former United States
Senator Don Cameron and Richard K.
Quay, son of the late Senator Quay.
MAY HELP IN. SENATE
ON TRUST LEGISLATION.
Washington, June 9. —Just before At
torney General Knox left Washington
a few days ago he called upon the
President and told him that he had
been tendered the appointment, of
United States senator to succeed Mr.
Quaiv and that if the President was
willing, he would accept. The Presi
dent told him that his services in the
Senate would be exceptionally valuable.
The President said that during the
next session or two of Congress it was
a fair assumption that there would
be conslderaible constructive legisla
tion on the subjects of trusts and com
binations of one character or another,
and In that matter Mr. Knox would be
of greater service than perhaps any
other man could be.

ON W. BOYD EVANS.
Sensation Was Created on the
Street* of Colnmhln.
Columbia, S. Ot. June 9.—John O.
Mobley, of Fairfield, accompanied by a
relative, F. Mott-y, met W. Boyd
Evans, Esq., in 4>nt of his office, on
Law Range, and demanded cer
tain papers. Evans evaded or refused,
when Mobley struck him several times
in the face with a tgiwhide. They
clinched and woljo separated. The
sheriff immediate® put both under
peace bonds. ,
Mobley and Evans were two years

ago his wife, a Getrrgia lady, left his
home and returned- In her people in
Georgia, refusing to live in South Caro
lina. Later, at her instance, a legal
paper against Mr, Mobley was sent
from the Governor of Georgia to the
Governor of South Carolina.
The situation being well known at
Mr. Mobley's home, where his conduct
under trying conditions was highly
commended by ail men. no attention
was paid to this matter. Shortly af
ter the unfortunate lady was com
mitted to the aslum at Milledgevllle,
Ga. Evains was private secretary for
Gov. Ellerbee. Recently, Mobley was
informed that a man employed by
Evans was traveling over the state,
armed ’with that document from the
Governor’s office, containing grave ac
cusations ajgainst Mobley’s character,
and that this agent was secretly poison
ing the people against him. It was
that jfaper that Mobley demanded of
Evans.
Evans is practicing laiw here. He
married into a wealthy Charleston
family some years ago.
