bl for Terrible Accident.
Pueblo. Colo.. Aug. 20. After ex
haustively summing up all evidence
which has been submitted, the coroner's
Jury this afternoon rendered a verdict
censuring the Denver Sc Rio Grande
Railway Company. The Jury found
the train crew blameless, as they could
see no signs of danger. The railroad
company, according to the verdict,
should have constructed a bridge that
would have withstood the Impact of
the flood. Hud a bridge of one span
with stone abutments been across the
arroyo, In all human , probability It
would have withstood the rush of wa
ter, thus avoiding the disaster.

A special to the Gazette from Cripple
Creek says this afternoon 2000 citizens
of Cripple Creek arrested S. J. Hangs,
Attorney Eugene Ely and Attorney A.
C. Cole,Jogether with Mr. Hall, man
ager of the union store, and some 15
others. The crowd divided Into three
squads. One took their prisoners to
Barnard Creek, where they were told
to leave the district The other two
squads, took their prisoners toward
Canon City, where they were treated In
like manner. The greatest excitement
prevails In the district and citizens are
declaring that there are more to.be
deported and will not be allowed to re
turn. The men were ordered to leave with
the following Injunction: "You men
are not wanted in this camp and you
are not golnff to be allowed to live
here You do not seem tor be happy
unless you can stir up trouble. We
have trouble enough. If you come back
there will be either a bullet or a rope
for everyone of you. Now go, and
keep going."
Returning to the city, part of the
crowd made an attack upon the union
store. Officers at first repulsed the at
tack, but they were operpowered, and
about 20 men entered and completely
wrecked the stock. The stock cost
about $3000.
The immediate cause of today's out
break was the starting up of the union
store, under the name of the Inter-
mountaln Mercantile Company and
the report that a number of deported
union men were on their way back to
Cripple Creek from Denver.
