as accouv
p.lishe'l by the destruction of the of-
fues with their fine equipment of deli
cate balances. The raiders did not
hesitate to jeopardize life, as all the
buildings were occupied by sleeping
families. As it was. men, women and
children were hurled out of their beds
by the shocks and serious injuries in
flicted. The lull extent of the dam
age cannot be estimated. In this city
the Davenport office was wrecked by
two explosions, involving a loss of at
least $1,200. At the same time the
assay office of Yanderwalker, Morgan
& Williams was rtated likewise. The
loss was approximately as large as Da
venport’s. One man, a miner, was se
verely injured at the explosion at Wil
liams’ office. He was passing at the
moment of the explosion. Flying de
bris struck him in the face, gashing his
eyes, and the injury may result in to
tal blindness.
In Cripple Creek Benjamin’s assay
Office, north of the Florence and Crip
ple Creek depot, was blown up. In
the town of Coldfield, about IVj miles
north of here .almost simultaneously
Boyce's office and another assayist es
tablishment were wrecked. Boyce’s
family occupied an adjoining room.
Mrs. Boyce wa sblown out of bed, but
escaped without seriouk injury. In
•hie city the powder was placed under
’he building. The house :n which a
"arriily lived next to the Williams as-
-ay office here was much damaged and
a woman was proslrated. Sheriff Ho!V
ertson has called out his deputies and
is taking ail means to discover if pos
slide the perpetrators of the crimes.
The general Impression here this
morning is that the acts are the result
jf a general movement to rid the dis-
riot of all high grade ore purchasing

It all started over Tillman's bitter at

ed that the P.eiuiidirajvH had only been
