with tint rcipieM for an explanation.
The riot did not occur in linker City, but
down on I tn rut iier, somewhere.

for self congratulation over tint fact that
a local syndicate, lieadeil by Miivnr.l. II.
ItobbiliH, secured the valuable mining
ground in Cracker Creek district, contig
iiiiiiH to tint North Colo mine, instead of
Abtxiiuder Daring, the I.0111I011 banker,
who wanted it, but wan not willing to
pay a reasonable price. The people now
in control will develop tin ground, in
Mull a mill of adeipiate capacity and lake
out tint U"ld, which will be beliellcial to
the entire icgiou. On the other baud,
had tint KnuliMi company bought tin
ground, it would doiibtlen have remain
