TWO CUTTING SCRAPES. Richard Holmes and Frank Holmes Badly Wounded. Saturday waa an unlucky day for negroes named Holmes. Two of them -brothers-were seriously cut by oth? er negroes. Frank Holmes was cut and painfully wounded Saturday morning in front of the dispersary by Clifton Durant, who got mad with Frank because he refused to go into the dispensary and buy a bottle of whiskey when ordered to do so by Durant. He slashed Frank in thc side with a keen knife, inflicting an ugly wound that required a dozen stitches. Holmes lost a good deal of blood, but as no vital organ was reached he in in'no danger of death. Durant wai? tried in the Recorder's court Monday, and, being convicted, waa sentenced to pay a fine of $50 or serve 30 days on the chain gang. Saturday, night a crowd of negro gamblers assembled at the bouse of [William Vaughan on Purdy street and /played skin until a late hour. Some j time after midnight several of them j got into a row and created so much ! racket that the others, fearing the police, stopp ?d the fracss and told the gang that tiiey bad better go out of town if they wanted to continue the row. The game was then adjourned, the i whole crowd going out on West Liberty street, towards the Richardson place which is said to be a common and much frequented resort of the negro gamblers. However before they reached the place frequented bv them the row was renewed and Walter Peterson cul; Richard Holmes with a razor inflicting a horrible wound across the throat. The wind pipe was exposed and the big arteries and veins were missed by a hair's breadth. All but two of tiie negroes ran off, leaving Holmes lying in the road bleeding profusely ?md apparently dying. Holmes was cut about 2 o'clock Sun? day morning, and it was nearly 4 o'clock before he received medical, at? tention. He is very seriously wounded and while his recovery is probable he may yet succumb to his injuries.' Peterson was pursued and after a long chase was captured by George Richardson, one of the negroes in the crowd who was a friend of Holmes. Peterson w as sent to jail Monday by Magistrate Wells to await trial at the next term oi court Richard Efolmep, the negro who was so seriously cut Sunday morning, is practically out cf danger and is in a fair way to get .well. -Inspector Nichols was in the city Thursday for the purpose/ of inspect? ing the county dispensary and check- ? ing over the stock and accounts of Dispenser Windham. He completed ? the inspection that day and stated at j the conclusion of his task that be i found everything in first class shape ; ! stock well kept and all the books! neatly and correctly kept. Dispenser j Windham is one of/ the best dispensers | in the Stale, handling more money than any other dispenser, and his steck and books are aiways found in the most satisfactory condition. "Booze" Brightness. When Governor Joseph K. Toole Of Montana* was >n New York a few weeks ago he told a story illustrative of the faculty of a well known lawyer iii his state to say the right thing at the right ;ime. This lawyer friend is an old timer in. Montana and has long held a leading place at the Mon? tana bar, "Dnt he is inclined at times tc linger too long over the flowing bowl. At usch times he loses all idea of location and though he bas lived in one neighborhood for twenty years and has a general idea of the location of his hon.9. to reach it he always has to have assistance, not in walking, but to givs the direction. One evening the governor's lawyer friend started home, a little the worse for wear, with his tongue thick and his ideas of location hazy. By acci? dent he took the right street, but when he 70t within a block of his home he was nuable to tell where he was. A bright idea came into his befuddled brain. He would inquire at the near? est house. He rang the bell and the daughter of the house-appeared. She knew him, and when he asked her in as clear tones as he was capable of to tell him where his house was she pointed i;o it. The governor's friend thanked her effusively and many times. In order to cut short the conversation the young woman said: 'Don't men? tion it; don't mention it." "I never will if you won't," was the reply of the lawyer.

No Serious Outbreak at Crippie Creek Yesterday-The Tension Remains Severe. Assassin Responsible for Explosion has so Far Eluded Capture-Military Companies and Deputies Control. _ j Cripple Creek, Coi., Jane 7.-Apart from a few small fights in connection with the rounding ap and arresting of anion miners no oatbreak has oc? curred in this district today. Two local military companies and a small army of armed deputies under Sher? iff Edward Bell are in full control of the camp. Though there has been no turbulence today there is an undercur? rent of feeling which bodes ill! Secretary Clarence Hamlin of the Mineownezsr association declared to? day that 200 prisoners now held in the armory in Victor woould be taken over the hills and warned never to re? turn. There is a minority element that wants to hang N. W. O'Connell, former marshal of Victor, who is sus? pended and also under arrest, and also Alfred Miller, charged with having started the riot which resulted in the killing of Roxie McGee and several others at the mass meeting in Victor yesterday. No hanging will take place, however, in all probability, unless resistance is offered by word or action of the prisoners, lt would require but little to have a wholesale hang? ing. Virgil King, a union leader, and 15 others arrested in Cripple Creek today have been taken to Victor for deport? ation. A well grounded rumor is to the effect that a large number of union miners working in Portland will be arrested. The building owned and occupied by Miners' union, No. 40, in Cripple Creek, is in charge of the militia. The front windows cave been demolished and the big sign of the W. F. O. M. torn down. City Marshal W. J. Graham was forced to resign by the citizens' com? mittee headed by E. C. Newcomb, cashier of the thirst National bank, and Charles N. Crowder was appoint? ed as his successor by the city council which convened at once to confirm him. Justice o? the Peace C. M. Harrington, said to be a union sym? pathizer, . heard that the committee was to wait ,on him and he tendered his resignation before the committee could ask him. County Judge Albert S. Frost is out of the city but it is said he will be asked to resign as soon as he arrives here and so will Frank P. Marnix, county cleik and recorder. Both are attending the Democratic convention at Pueblo. Ic istfurther reported that Assistant District Attorney J. C. . Cole will be compelled to relinquish his office. All office holders whose resignations have been demanded have furnished them w^ien threatened with hanging. Photographs of Charles McCormack and Melvin Beck, who were killed by an infernal machine in the Vindicator mine November 21, 1903, and of other Vindicator miners were found in pos? session of Frank Cochrane, secretary of one of the miners' onions of Victor. This discovery greatly agitated offi? cials of the Mineowners' association, who declared that Cochrane shall be strung up until he discloses all tha he knows concerning the outrage. They believe he has information that will lead to the arrest of the perpe? trators of the crime. ONE THOUSAND DEPUTIES. ? I It was estimated this afternoon that 1,000 deputies had been sworn in by Sheriff Bell. The Victor Record was censored by a special committee ap? pointed by the sheriff before publica? tion was permitted today. Boys playing in the, neighborhood of the hole made by the explosion in In? dependence today found a portion of a cheaply made British Bulldog revolv? er. The weapon contained one shell and was taken to the office of the Cit? izens' alliance as it was conclusive proof that the dynamite was set off in the fashion similar to the explo? sion of giant powder in the Vindi? cator mine. The bloodhounds, in charge of ringo Palmer of Trinidad, today trailed the assassin who killed the Findlay miners to a mile beyond Clyde sta? tion, a distance of three miles. There the scent was completely lost. It is believed by the detectives working on the case that the assassin took a bug? gy at the place where the scent was lost and proceded along the old stage road to Colorado Springo. , The coroner's jury visited the scene of the explosion today, after which an adjournment was taken until tomorrow afternoon, when the taking of evi? dence will begin. TWO MORE DEAD. Cripple Creek, Colo., June 7. Two more names were added today to the list of those killed by the Inde? pendence dynamiting, making the total 1">. They are: George S. Hen? derson and Fred Beckley. J It is beliveed that the bodies of sev? eral others were blown to atoms and j tl.e remains are in the mass of flesh and bones at the bottom of the hole mide by the tremendous explosion.
