Knew All About It This ear of miners was brought in from Colorado on Passenger Train No 1 early Wednesday morning, and taken through to Castle Gate. Hera a locomotive picked np the coach, to take it to Standardville by way of Helper and over the Utah railway tracks up Spring Canyon. The regular employes of the railway refused to run the train. Running as a special, with Superintendent Vaughn at the throttle, there ia much speculation aa to just how much collusion is shown in the spread of information that would aceuniiilibh the organization of the attacking force and get them to the strategic location so early in the morning. That the sentiments expressed ops enly such as in the speeches at the . that almut twenty strikers were rounded up and all but four of them are being held for complicity in the ambushing and shooting. These men are in eharge of the sheriff's deputies. Governor Wakes Up. When word of this latest outrage reached Gov. Charles R. Mabey at Salt Lake City he was apimrently convinced that no dependence could be placed on the repeatedly broken promises of the strike promoters that their mn would eeasa to commit aeta of violence, and the state militia waa ordered to proceed to Carbon county. Four units of Utah's national guard were brought down Wednesday night and are distributed among the camps where violence has been rampant. On arrival of the troops then waa a rounding up of the men from aome of the strikers eamps and a search of the men and their camp grounds produced arm and ammunition in considerable quantities. Military Will Control The declaration ia made that ill strikers will be concentrated in camps at central points where they will e under the surveillance of the soldi ry. ing to the detours. To correct this impression, it may be stated that Ihe original estimate of ten thousand dollars has proven to be ample more than waa necessary had not the unfortunate blasting operations created an extra expense. The actual amount of money necessary to have established these detours, with an allnwnnc of eight hundred dollars for their ma and with the payment of the Ilel-ie- r damage claims arising from the explosion have totaled about mne thousand dollars. Instead of it being necessary to go into the county n to keep up any of this exionse there will be turned into the cou dy, representing an actual profit on the as-u- ry dc.il, six thousand dollars. Right of way for the detours has in most cases been freely given. On y in few instances has it lieen necesall. The to sary make any payment ata hundred total paid in this account is dollurs Some of the and seventy-fiv-e even move! the-.- r holders pro;erty fences at personal expense to help the work along. One advantage to residents of that section west of Price river. and upstream from the Gordon Creek bridge, has developed because the high water has recently took away five private bridges from these ran s, and had it not been for this di tonring road leading to Helper past the blasted cliff and to the Gordon Creek roadwav on the lower end. these -peoaall. ple would have had no way out Over five thousand dollars had been expended by these ranchers on these private bridges, which are lost, bet they now have a comparatively good road without their lost bridges, nsing the detour road built by the county. . v.-r- .h-c- LESS BUTUSE MORE TEACHERS FIRE AT COLTON TO THEM II va&nut Poods and creed souud much the same except when put into practice.

In SUMMARY OF CHANGES MADE FOR COMING YEAR Burning with a fierceness that defied efforts to extinguish the flu mi1, a fire destroyed most of the husines section of Colton Tuesday afternooiL. A high wind was blowing at the time gusts sweeping down Fish Creek with great force and Hying embers from the burning buildings made constant effort necessary to prevent the destruction of the entire town. Help down from Soldier Summit, a firefighting crew of fourteen, headed by George J. McKlroy reudering much assistance. Water pumped by a railroad locomotive was turned on the flames. The European hotel, valued at nine thousand dollars carried insurance of about a fourth of this amount. J. M. Miller lost a store building and a dwelling, a loss of ail thousand dollars, with only a small part of this covered by insurance. Little was saved from the burning buildings. In fact several ioo- had narrow escaiiea. A two-stor- y Ede building, with a pool hall and a restaurant on the ground floor, and a running house npatara, was destroyed. It belonged to Mrs. Sufth. The loss was ten thousand dollars, with small insurance. Other buildings were olso burned or damaged. A warhouae belonging to Mrs. Sarah K. Arrowsmith waa damaged to the extent of about a thousand dollars. In this warehouse Price rity had a quantity of wooden pipe stored. This was for nse in repairs and changes to lie made in the pipeline leading to Price from Colton Springs. The lose on this pipe was about twelve hundred dollars. All through the night and even the following day the burning embers were an imminent source of danger, and quired const ant attention. The section burned suffered destruction in a for mer fire aliout twenty years ago.
