Cliarles S. Deneen of Chicago, was
nominated for Governor of Illinois by
the Republican state convention on
the seventy-ninth ballot Friday and
the phenomenal struggle that since
May 12th had kept 1,502 delegates
in the most remarkable deadlock in
the history of th2 country reached a
dramatic conclus on.
The Republican nominee is an Illi
nois boy bonrand bred, and he has
three generations of Illinois men and
women back of him. Mr. Deneen was
born at Edwardsville, in Madison coun
ty, forty-one years ago, and was edu
cated at the public schools of Leban
on and at McKendree College. In
18S6 he settled permanently in Chi
cago, having for three years taught
school in Jasper and Madison coun
ties. He secured a place in that city
as a law clerk in the office of Master
of Chancery Waller and made rapid
progress in his profession, becoming
a member of various law firms.
Mr. Deneen has always been active
in politics, and has never moved out
of the line of fair dealing that has
characterized all his public career.
He served one term as a member of
the legislature and in 1S95 was ap
pointed attorney for sanitary district,
holding this position till 1S96, when
he resigned to make the race as Re
publican nominee for state's attorney.
He was elected by the largest majori
ty ever given a candidate on the
county ticket up to that time, and in
1900 was reelected, running over 10,
000 votes ahead of the total for
President McKinlev.

Alvin Lane, aged thirteen years,
residing about three miles above Wal
terville, met a horrible death Satur
day evening about G o'clock by being
dragged a distance of a mile or more
by a runaway horse.
The boy and his older brother Guy
went out to catch the horse and bring
him in. The horse had on a long
rope which the young men succeeded
in getting hold of, but the horse at
once started to run. Guy Lane let
loose of the rope and told his little
brother to do the same, but the rope
in soma way had taken a half hitch
around the boy's leg and he was un
able to free himself. At a breakneck
speed the horse tore down the road,
dragging the helpless boy with him.
liven few feet as the boy's head
would strike the hard eround or a
rock he would utter an agonizing cry,
which was heartrending in the ex
treme. His brother at once mounted
another horse and took after the run
away animal and succeed in stopping
it about a mile from where it started.
The boy had died before his brother
reached him. The back of his head
had been completely torn off, and his
back and limb3 were badly lacerated.
The horse in its mad flight down
the road passed several men, but they
were powerless to stop it
The boy's lifeless body was tenderly
picked up and carried to the house
and prepared for burial. The funer
al was held Sunday and the remains
interred in the Camp Creek cemetery.
The boy was an orphan, being the
son of the late Al Lane. Guard.
Fight With Train Robb;rs.
Denter, June 9. In a running
fight with the robbers, who held up
the D. & R. G. west-bound passenger
train No. 5, near Parachute Tuesday
night, two of the robbers were shot
today and Deputy Sheriff Moham of
Glenwood Springs was wounded. One
of the bandits is dead. The pursuit
and fight is still in progress at the
L. W. Smith ranch this afternoon.
The officers were firm in their be
lief, as stated yesterday, that the men
would head for the range and endeav
or to cross to the headwaters of Pice
ance creek, enroute to the Routt
country ratreats, and paid little at
tention to trails, cutting toward the
range to a point of interception under
the guidance of men familiar with the
country.
That their surmise was correct was
shown by the fact that they headed
the bandits off and did battle with
them today. The Smith ranch is in
the foothills and had the robbers suc
ceeded in passing it they would have
been practically immune from pur
suit. The dead bandit is unknown to
any of the posse.

pastime with a verified interpretation

that precise moment. And yet, some
people are clamoring for woman suffrage!

Cripple Creek, Colo . June 9. Marshal Naylor
aud his squad captured George Fridley today near
Canyon City aud returned with him to Victor. He is
charged with having killed Roxy McGee in Victor
Monday, and with having attempted to shoot C. C.
Hamlin, secretary of the Miueowners' Associatiou,
when he was addressing the mas; meeting in Victor
Monda'.
Cripple Creek, Colo., June 9. "Death to union
ism in the Cripple Creek district" is the new slogan of
the Citizeu's Alliance which has sent a decree broad
cast that every person connected with any union here
must either sever his or her connection with such or-"
ganization or leave the district
This latest stand of the anti-unionists was vague
ly hinted at two days ago, but the movement on the
part of the alliance seemed so absurd to the 3000 or
4000 unionists in the camp and iisenforcement fraught
with so many difficulties, that it was not takeu seri
ously. T. S. Dines, a Denver attorney and one of the ex
ecutors of the Siratton 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 other emplo3'
ers of labor in the entire district, pledging them not to
employ any person who is affiliated with a labor union.
No person who works for a living will be exempt,
and the absolute annihilation of unionism in this coun
ty is predicted by members of the Citizens' Alliance
and the Mineowners' Association.
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 effect 3000 men and
women now affiliated with the various unions. Among
the unions that will be affected by the new movement
are the Clerks, Cooks and Waiters, Bartenders, Car
penters, Electricians, Trainmen and Stone and Brick
Masons.
The unionists assert they will fight the move
ment to a finish.
SOLDIERS TO SHOOT IF RESISTED.
Victor, Colo., June 9. A squad of mounted in
fantrymen have gone out today in pursuit of about 55
union miners, said to be encamped in the Heaven
Creek region, east of this city. The troops have or
ders to shoot the men when found if they resistarrest.
TWO THOUSAND SHOTS FIRED.
It is consideicd remarkable that only one mau
was killed in the Dunnville battle. The contesting
forces were about 200 soldiers and deputies under per
sonal command of General Bell, and 65 miners, who
were secreted behind rocks and trees in the hills sur
rounding the new mining camp. The attacking party
left its train and walked through a mrr nv canyon in
to the open gulch where the town of Dunnville is lo
cated, and was subject to a hail ol bullets from the
rocks above. Probably 2000 shots were fired by both
sides, yet only one man was hit so far as known. John
Carley was in the timber, and was slain by a steel bul
let from the Krag-Jorgensen rifle of a man in the fir
ing squad of Sergeant Baldwin. The dirt and rocVs
arbund the feet of the invaders and the newspaper meu
who accompanied them were spitted up as if a heavy
hailstorm was in progress, but not a man was touched.
Bullets struck about General Bell and literally
sprinkled his boots 'with earth aud broken rocks, but
he was cool and gave orders deliberately. He turneel
to a newspaper man who was standing a few feet away
and shouted, "Cover up that white vest and take off
that Panama."
These were excellent targets.
SOLDIERS CHARGE HILLS.
After seven minutes of hot work, deslutory firing
was kept up for an hour. Finally the soldiers charged
up the hills and many of the ambushed men were then
seen scampering away in all directions. About 20
prisoners were taken. Fourteen who were members
of the Miners' Union were brought to camp and im
prisoned, the others being released.
General Bell will not call for more troops, believ
ing that the two companies now on duty, assisted by
the Sheriff's deputies, can cope with the small parties
of miners scattered among the mountains To queries

Vicroit, Colo., June 10. Acting
under the orders of Adjutant-General
Sherman M. Hell, of the State Nation
al Guard, a special train was made up
shortly afternoon today in the Short
Line yards here for the deportation
of 76 union miners. The train com
prised a combination baggage car and
two day coaches. Almost immediate
ly the work of loading the men be
gan. They were marched to the
train between heavy lines of militia
and deputies. A crowd of fully 1000
people had collected to see the men
placed on board. Among the spec
tators were wives and sisters, fathers
and mothers of the deported men,
and the scenes were very affecting,
Mothers, sisters and sweethearts

men were
OFFICERS OUT TO MAKE TRAIN CO ON.
Mayor Harris, of Colorado Springs,
had been appraised of the decision to
deport the men and immediately took
steps to see that none of them landed
in that city. Under his instructions
a large force of officers and deputies
met the special train at 6:10 this
evening lor tnat purpose. io at
tempt was made, however, to unload
the men there, arrangements having
previously been made to send to them
Kansas State line over the Santa Fe,
becane of protests made against tak
ing them to Pueblo or Denver and
leaving them there.
The train stopped long enough at
Colorado Springs to give the soldiers
time to eat. The deported men had
rations of beans and bread on board.
Another party of exiled men will
be sent out of the district tomorrow.
Sixty men confined in the Cripple
Creek bullpen were taken to the
County Jail today, and charges of
murder were placed against them.
Shortly after 6 o'clock tonight the
military committee adjourned, having
examined'all the prisoners and dis
posed of all the business before it. !
Only two men were released from
cust ody today by the committee.
TWI.XT THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA-
La Junta, Colo., June 11 A spe
cial from Holly Colo., a town near the
Colo-Kansas boundary, says that the
trainload of deported Cripple Creek
miners stopped half a mile west of
the state line, and that the prisoners
were unloaded from the cars and
ordered by Col. L. W. Kennedy, the
officer in command of the guard, to
hike" to the east and remain out
side the borders of the state. A vol
ley of shots, it is said, was fired in
the air by the troops, who latter
boarded their train and returned to
the West.
The depot men were met at the
state line by Sheriff Jack Brady, of
Hamilton, County, Kan., and 40 depu
ties, and were turned back. Since
early morning the unhappy miners
have been straggling into Holly,
where breakfast was furnished them
by the residents. Many of them are
now walking to Lamar, Colo.
says 35 or -10 WILL HANG.
Cripple Creek, Colo., June 11
General Sherman M. Bell today made
the following statement for publication:
"I have indisputable evidence in my
possession which will lead to the con
viction of a number of union men for
the murder ol the nonunion miners
who were killed in the Independence
depot explosion. We have between
35 and 40 men in the bullpen who
will swing for this crime. We are
only waiting to capture two or three
more men before we tell what our
evidence is. There will be no depor
tations today."
