DREARY LOT OF UNION MINERS
THEIR WALKING PAPERS
IN COLORADO.
Ninety-one Men Were Given n Ride
ro the Kniissa Border and Ordered
Out of the Train by Soldier* and'
Guards “Get Out of Colorado,'-
• •Keep Out of Kansas,” Were the
Orders They Reeelved, While Guns
Menaced Them—Salvation Army to
the Rescue.
Denver, Col., June 11.—A special to
the Post from Holly, Col., says:
With a parting volley of rifle bullets
fired over their heads by the militia
and deputies to warn them to hurry
eastward as fast as their legs could
carfly them, and never again to set
foot on Colorado soil, ninety-one union
miners from the Cripple Creek district
were unloaded from a special Santa
Fe train on the Southern Pacific to
day, one-half mile from the Colorado-
Kansas state line, and left to shift for
themselves.
When the special train bearing the
deported men was within half a mile
of the Kansas line it was stopped by
Sheriff Brady of Hamilton county and
forty deputies, who notified Lieut.
Cole that under no circumstances
would the train be allowed to cross
the Kansas line, and, furthermore, that
the deported men were not wanted
in Kansas. Lieut. Cole assured the
sheriff that the train would proceed no
further. Then the order to quit the
train was given in a hurry. Sheriff
Brady called for the leaders of the
unionists and notified them that they
must not cross the Kansas line.
Were Driven Out.
The exiles were disembarked in haste
and without ceremony. ‘‘Hurry up,
there, you fellows,” cried Lieut. Cole,
when the train stopped in the midst
of alkali sand dunes that dot the prai
rie near the Kansas line. "We haven’t
got any time to waste out here.”
The special train had no sooner come
to a standstill than the car doors were
unlocked and thrown open, and the or
der given by Lieut. Cole for the exiles
to leave the train.
"Step lively, you fellows. Step live
ly,” admonished Deputy Benton, who
was in command of the civil force of
the expedition, and in less time than it
takes to tell it the three cars were
emptied of their unfortunate and un
willing passengers, and had started
back to LaJunta.
The men were left on the prairie,
without food or water, for the soldiers
and deputies, in their haste to get
home, had forgotten to unload the
small stock of commissary supplies the
train carried when it left Victor.
In Deep Dlwires*.
The exiles were a cheerless lot In
deed. Without even a light and miles
from the nearest habitation, they hud
dled together in groups on either side
of the Santa Fe track and discussed
their plight. Sheriff Jack Brady and
his deputies were on hand to prevent
the deported men from remaining in
Kansas. Warned by Kansas authori
ties that they would not be allowed to
seek refuge in the state, the spirit of
the men broke. Many of them finally
walked back on the railroad track to
Holly, where they were furnished food
by the big Salvation Army station
there.

UNION MEN ANSWER^
CHARGES AGAINST THEM.
Say the Federation Is Not Respon
sible (or Deaths.
Denver, Col., June 11.—'The executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners to-day issued a statement re
garding the situation in Cripple Creek
In reply to the statements made by
Gen. Sherman M. Bell and Secretary
C. C. Hamlin of the Cripple Creek
District Mine Owners’ Association. It
says:
"The only questions involved are the
enforcement of the eight-hour day, the
right of men to organize in the unions
and to prevent discrimination against
union men of all kinds. The responsi
bility for the lawlessness connected
with the contests rests entirely on the
fhoulders of the mine, operators, the
f'itizens’ Alliance and their allies,
backed up by the ready power of the
iate government.”
The events of the past week, the
siatement says. Justify these accusa
tions. The statement says no deaths
have occurred for which the Western
federation ot Miners can be held re
sponsible.

ATTACKED BY ROBBERS.
Custodians of SIH,OOO Made a I'lncUy
and Successful Run.
Johnstown. Pa.. June II.— A desperate
attempt was made this afternoon by
four masked men to rob Supt. W. H.
C. Ramsey and Secretary Frank How
ard, of the Johnstown Water Com
pany, of about SB,OOO in cash, which
they were conveying to the New Dalton
Run dam near this city to pay off the
400 men employed there. The two
men made a plucky run for it and for
tunately escaped, but not until two
horses had been killed and about
twenty-five shots had been exchanged.
Both men were heavily armed and
driving in a buggy with the money in
a satchel at their feet. Close behind
them, on horseback, rode Chester Mil
tenberger, an employe, who has been
in the habit of riding down from the
dam to meet and protect the paymas
ters. Across his knees Miltenberger
carried a lotaded Winchester rifle.
The first intimation that the party
had that there was trouble ahead was
a fusilade of shots from the woods
and the tottering and sudden twitch
ing of the horse which was drawing
the buggy. In a moment the horse
Miltenberger was riding had been shot
from under him.
The paying party 'at once drew their
weapons and directed their fire to
wards the woods, where, as yet they
had been unable to see their assailants.
The horse which Ramsey and Howiird
were driving staggered on and just as
it became evident that he must go
down, Howard grabbed the valise,
jumped from the buggy and started
to run. Ramsey 'also left the vehicle,
but he and Miltenberger retreated but
slowly, still exchanging shots with the
men in the woods. A bullet grazed
Ramsey’s forehead and inflicted a slight
wound. Otherwise, the men escaped
uninjured.
With the bandits in the woods and
the two men in the road still firing
at them, the party traversed a con
siderable distance, but Howard had
run ahead with the money and when
the highwaymen saw that their loot
was beyond their reach they abandoned
the chase.
No trace of the robbers has been
found.

PALMA TROPHY
TO BE RETURNED
BY THE AMERICAN TEAM.
IT IS NOT WANTED IF RIGHT TO IT
IS QUESTIONED.
Executive Committee of the National
Rifle Association Met at Washing
ton and Determined Upon This
Course—Captain of the Ainertenn
Team Slionld Have Submitted the
Team’s Rifles, as He Wns Instruct
ed.
Washington, June 11.—By a unani
mous vpte, the Executive Committee i
of the National Rifle Association, which
met here to-day, decided to return
forthwith to England the Palma trophy,
which the American team won at the
Bisley shoot last September, because
of the charges made that the Ameri
can team violated a rule of the contest
in using a rifle slightly different from
that used by the regular army of this
country. It was also decided to with
draw the Palma trophy from this
year’s competition.
The Executive Committee adopted
the following preamble and resolu
tion:
“Whereas, This committee has care
fully considered all the facts and cor
respondence In connection with the
controversy which followed the Palma
trophy competition of 1903; and,
"Whereas, We regret the evident
differences of opinion which have been
made matter for publication, and while
we find the captain of the American
team made no secret whatever of the
exact character of the rifles, believing
their use perfectly proper, which dif
ferences of opinion would never have
existed had he officially submitted the
rifles for approval, in accordance with
the explicit instructions given him by
the president of this association; and,
“Whereas, Prolongation of the argu
ments as to what is or is not con
formity with regulation patterns of
rifles might be continued indefinitely,
with no prospective good resulting
therefrom; and,
“Whereas, It is the unanimous senti
ment of this committee that the exist
ing controversy cannot continue with
out working serious injury to competi
tive military rifle shooting the world
overt therefore, he it
“Resolved, That we hereby ratify all
statements made in the letter of the
president of this association to the sec
retary of the National Rifle Associa
tion of Great Britain, dated March 7,
1904, and instruct the president to
withdraw the 'Palma competition from
the programme for the current year,
and to cause the Palma trophy to be
immediately returned to the National
Rifle Association of Great Britain, to
be held by that organization for future
competition. Telegraphic orders will be
sent to New York, where the Palma
trophy is now kept, that it be packed
and shipped immediately to England."

SAVANNAH. GA.. SUNDAY. JUNE 12. 1904.
ORDERED A STRIKE ON
TWO SAVANNAH LINERS.
City of Savannah an*l the City ot
Augusta the Hants.
New York, June 11.—Strikes of the
marine firemen were ordered to-day on
the Savannah Line steamships City of
Savannah and City of Augusta.
The company started at once to se
cure firemen in place of the strikers on
the City of Savannah. A full crew of
non-union firemen was secured, and
the vessel sailed forty minutes late.
The strikers on the City of Augusta
were formally discharged, as the ves
sel will be laid up for repairs for a
day or two.
The Moro Castle of the Ward Line,
on which the first strike of the marine
firemen took place, sailed to-day for
Havana, four and a half hours behind
time.
All Ihe other vessels which were
scheduled to sail l*id little difficulty in
obtaining firemen. So far not a single
ship has been prevented from sailing.

Fatal Melee on Account of a Differ
ence Over n Teacher.
Waco, Tex., June 11.—As a result of
friction over the selection of a teacher
for a public school at Elk, a small
town ten miles north of Waco, a
bloody street duel was fought there
to-day by R. B. Torrence, his ‘son,
Rivers Torrence, and J. McAden, a son
in-law, on one side, and Dr. Holton, his
son and Prof. G. W. Perkins on the
other.
Bad feeling ’had existed for some
time over the matter, and firing be
gan when the men met to-day. The
elder Torrence was killed almost in
stantly, his body being riddled with
bullets. Dr. Holton and his son receiv
ed dangerous wounds and Prof. Per
kins and Rivers Torrence were se
riously injured. McAden escaped un
injured.
Shotguns and revolvers were the
weapons used by the participants, all
of whom are prominent.
SEWER GAS EXPLODED
AND FOUR WERE KILLED.
City Engineer of Chicnsn Was
Among tlie Victims.
Chicago. June 11.—By an explosion
in a huge sewer being constructed
’along Thirty-ninth street manholes
were blown up for many blocks, the
street was badly torn and a frame
building demolished.
Four persons, including City Engi
neer Miltimore, were killed.
Three workmen, accompanied by City
Engineer Guy Miltimore, who carried
a gasoline torch, were going down into
the sewer when they encountered sew
er gas and the explosion followed. All
four men were killed and their bodies
entombed.
In addition to sewer gas, it is thought
that possibly petroleum had leaked into
the sewer, as for fifteen minutes after
the explosion, fire burned fiercely. It
was two hours before a successful
attempt could be made to rescue the
bodies.
tive consideration proved the dominat
ing influence and before the session
was an hour old July was selling well
above 12 cents, reaching 12.30 c here
and about 12.70 in New Orleans, an
advance in the local market of 45
points.
The late months showed somewhat
smaller gains, but were very strong
and almost equally exciting.

Washington, June 11.—Within a few
days there will be an exodus from
Washington for the Chicago conven
tion, where Mr. Roosevelt will be
formally put in nomination for the
presidency. Stirring events there are
not anticipated, none the less there
will be a large attendance of officials
and onlookers from Washington. The
corps of newspaper correspondents,
nearly all of whom are trained men
in national politics, will leave Thurs
day and Friday, but a few go on earlier
than that to attend the hearings of
contests before the National Commit
tee. In this journalistic contingent
will be one or more representatives of
every large newspaper in the country.
At the convention they will be joined
in many cases by other men from the
home offices, who will look after the
doings of the local delegations and
like matters of news of a local char
acter.
There likewise goes out from Wash
ington early in the week a corps of
expert telegraphers, many of whom
are specially skilled in handling politi
cal matters and nearly all of whom
are swift in sending dispatches. These
telegraphers, who have had long serv
ice at the Capitol in sending political
messages, know the newspaper corre
spondents and in more ways than one
are better able to handle newspaper
messages. If it is a matter of inter
preting a bad handwriting—for not all
of the correspondents are able to use
typewriters or to dictate to typewriters
during a convention—these operators
are the best in the business. Then
they have nearly all had experiences
in facilitating messages during the
confusion of a convention and in util
izing the wires to the utmost.
Compared With Other Conventions.
From the Washington standpoint,
the Chicago convention promises to be
less interesting even that the Philadel
phia convention. Four years ago there
was a struggle to force a very lively
citizen from New York upon the tick
et. It required two or three days of
shrewd manipulation by the veteran
politicians of the Republican party to
accomplish the task, the progress of
which furnished material for a few
interesting dispatches. That reluctant
New Yorker is now President with
pretty nearly a clear track ahead of
him for four more years in the White
House by an election in his own right.
There is bound to be less zest in the
selection of a Vice President at Chi
cago. It looks as though Senator Fair
banks would be the man, but no oue
can say there will not be something
of a tussle of popular interest before
the thing is settled.
It is almost safe to say that the con
vention will not pass off without some
excitement. When 1,000 delegates get
together In national convention there
is no telling what some delegate or set
of delegates may attempt that will
prove a diversion. The pro
gramme cannot be absolutely
all arranged in advance and
it te the unexpected that makes
the outlook Interesting. President
Roosevelt will remain in the city while
the convention Is in session. All the
Important details of the proceedings
will be communicated to him imme
diately. When the committee of the
convention comes here to notify him of
his nomination he will be ready with
a ringing speech on political questions,
which win command the attention of
the oountry.

ARKANSAS FARMS
ARE UNDER WATER.
Great DnnuiKr Canard by Breaking
of H- I.evee.
hit tie Rock, Ark., June 11. —A special
to the Gazette from Pine Bluff says:
The Hood in the Arkansas river to
day reached by far its most destruc
tive stage in Jefferson county when
part of the Frenchtown levee, about
three miles below the city, broke and
turned the river through a rich section
of the country filled with growing crops
of cotton and corn.
Since the water began ..ip rise the
planters in that section have been
working day and night to save this im
portant levee, because it protected the
rich bottom lands for miles below. Late
Friday afternoon a telephone message
was received In this city from those
working to save the Frenchtown levee
that if the water rose much higher the
levee would break. Ten thousand
sacks of sand were sent down at once
on a special freight and scores of men
went down to assist in the work. The
men worked all night long, but the ris
ing water swept away their labors, and
about 3 o’clock the levee broke. The
rush of the water could be hegrd in
this citv.
The breaking of this levee gives the
water a clean sweep over the southern
portion of the country through the
townships of Vaugine, Victoria and
Richland and the plantations in its
wake are unprotected. The farms of
Dr. J. F. Simmons. J. W. Corcoran,
Sebastian Gesister. Leo Andrews,
James Gould and others were among
those which suffered most. The dam
age to these plantations cannot be esti
mated under hundreds of thousands of
dollars, for growing crops of cotton and
corn were literally swept away.
At Fairfield, this county, the water
stands from four to six feet deep on all
the farms around the town. Among
the list of sufferers in that neighbor
hood whose losses will be total, are: 13d.
Manuel, Tom Brown, James Sims, Silas
Dishmore, James Johnson, James
Thomas, Louis Johnson and Louis Ez.

delegates -to the Democratic National
Convention at St. Louis.
Returns to the Post shows that the
Parker people have been successful.
Although many of the counties did not
positively instruct, it Is practically
certain that a Parker delegation will
be sent to St. Louis. The fight in
Texas has been led by National Com
mitteeman R. M. Johnson and was won
over a strong and active opposition,
aided by a visit and several speeches
from William J. Bryan.

Carrollton, G&., June 11.—Floyd
Smith, eon of Joseph Smith, a promi

is dead from being kicked by a mule
he was plowing.
He was about 16 years of age. He

the blow had dislocated the digestive

Contests Will Be Filed With the
Committee.
Jacksonville, Fla., June 11.—While it
is evident that Napolean Broward has
been nominated for Governor in the
second primary, defeating Congress
man R. W. Davis, it will require the
official count to determine the result.
The face of the returns show a ma
jority for Broward of 690, but there
are counties where the friends of Davis
are claiming frquid, and where they
have what they consider sufficient
testimony tp throw out the entire vote.
Senator Taliaferro has defeated J.
N. C. Stockton by 3,800 majority, and
Frank Clark is nominated for Congress
over J. M. Barrs by 2,000. In Duval
county, two candidates arc contesting
the election in several wards, 'and have
a volume of testimony before the com
mittee.
There will be several contests filed
before the State Committee when it
meets here on June 17.
Napoleon B. Broward, who, It
seems, has been nominated for
Governor of Florida, defeating one
of the most distinguished and
brilliant men In the state, is a native
Floridian. He was born in Duval coun
ty. April 19, 1857, at the old farm
house at the mouth of Cedar creek.
Working on a farm in his early boy
hood days, he. later moved to New' Ber
lin, and worked as a cook on a steam
boat, which was owned by his uncle,
Capt. Parsons. He was afterwards em
ployed as fireman on various steam
boats on the St. Johns river, and later
became part owner of a boat with
Capt. David Kemps. In 1887 he ran
a wood yard, and when Henry D. Hol
land, sheriff of Duval county, died in
1889, Gov. Perry appointed him to fill
the position. In 1891 he was elected to
the office, and re-elected in two subse
quent elections. In 1900 he was elected
to the Legislature, and in the same
year Gov. Jennings appointed him a
member of the State Board of Health.
He was elected a City Councilman, and
served on the Police Commission In
1895 and 1896. He owns part of the
Three Friends, the boat made famous
in the Spanish War. His remarkable
race for Governor has demonstrated
that he is a good politician, and pos
sessed ability, both as a speaker and
a campaigner.
HE KILLED HIS WIFE
AND ANOTHER WOMAN.
Then Dodge Turned His Weapon
Upon Himself.
Pueblo, Col., June. 11.—Gilbert P.
Dodge, a livery keeper, shot and killed
his wife and Mrs. Maude C. Kinney
on the principal business street of the
city to-night.
The women were sitting in a car
riage in front of a fish market. Dodge
dismounted from a horse, on which he
was riding, shot one woman in the head
and the other ir. the throat, and then
tried to kill himself, but did not suc
ceed. He was disarmed by the police.
Mrs. Kinney is said to be the wife of
Charles Kinney of Cripple Creek, who
was under arrest on the charge of be

miners some months ago.
