Thcro Is no danger that a uonpartlsan will bo fired upon without being first warned , but wften ordered to stop It mentis that he must stop Just where his feet nre resting. It In but a stop from this altitude to ono ot moat reckless daring and the people In the camps fear the out come. All day strikers have been search ing for arms and ammunition In the mining camps and wherever arms , nmmtinlllon or provldons were found they were confiscated and receipts given for them. No one nbout the cnmps except the strikers are permitted to carry arms , and the strikers , who reign supreme , have issued the order that every able bodied r.ian found In camp when the real contest comes will bo forced to carry arms In their ranks. The result Is that many people nre moving away from the camps to the city qf Cripple Creek and else where. Town and county officials nro ut terly unable to do anything In the face of such an overwhelming number of desperate men. Parties of men who are.In sympathy with the mine owners have guno to .Midland , where- they will meet the deputies and con duct them to the strongest points about the ncciie of trouble. A large party ot strikers have also gone towards Midland to meet the deputies and retard their progress as much as possible. The country about Bull Hill , the strikers' stronghold , for eight miles li held and patrolled by the strikers. Sl'MT OX TJIIJ UNI OX HOCK.

FLAG PRESENTfD TO TIIURSTON RIFLES Martial Slrrct Parade unit 'Military clscn tit Coliseumotern r Croiiinn anil Opiiprnl llrooho In the I'liico of Honor Addrrssm. The largest gathering that hns assembled In the Coliseum clnco the memorable conven tion ot 18M was there last evening , on the occasion of the fKig presentation to thu Thitrston UIilcs. The crowd was quite an exceptional one for Its size , the friends of the companies turning out In force and giv ing the occasion very much of the aspect of a society affair. It was exceedingly well managed , nnd the only drawback wns ( ha extreme length of the program , which de layed the dancing until after midnight nnd Induced many to leave before the presenta tion of the flag , which did not occur until It o'clock. The parade of the various companies tak ing part did n gre.it deal to create Interest In the event , ns the procession was formed down town , nnd the line of march covered the Intervening space between the busltiesH part of the city and the Coliseum. The Second Infantry band nnd buglers discoursed music and occupied a po sition at the head of the line Immediately behind the platoon ot police. Next cnnto the Omaha Guards , the veteran company of Omaha's citizen soldiery , nnd behind them the Thiirston Hlflcs. the latest acquisition to the Nebraska National gunrd , milking a very creditable showing In their regulation fntlguo uniforms. Then came the two Council muffs companies , the Dodge Light Guard and the High School cadets , the l.itler In uniforms of cadet grny. Fol lowing the troops was a double line of car riages containing Governor Crounxc nnd stuff , llrlgndlcr General Ilrooko nnd staff , lion. John M. Thiirston , patron ot the Hides ; Hev. Dr. S. Wright Dutler , chaplain ; Hon. John L. Webster , representing the Ladles' auxiliary , and General C. II. Frederick , rep resenting the Loyal Legion. Sidowulks nnd porches were lined all nlong the line of march , and the evolutions of the miiruhlng companies evoked n continuous round of applause. Arriving nt the Coli seum , the troops formed In review , nnd to the strains ot the "General's March" tha carriages drew up to the entrance and ths plumed nnd gold-lnccd olllcers of the re spective staffs escorted the governor nnd general to the reviewing stnnd on the west side of the pnr.ulo ground , Into which the raring floor of the great structure has been temporarily converted. Fully 4,000 people were seated nround the hpiicloiis amphitheater , nnd the scene as the band tUrnck up n lively strain nnd led the wiiy for the Initial march wns n most Inspir iting one. Across the lower end of the gioiind were a number of tents , and the great gun of the Omaha Guards galling sec tion , as well ns a smaller brass piece tor In door firing , " gave the place very much the appearance ot a military camp. Guard mount was first In order , and the de tails from the various companies were qiilcUl/ " told ' .qfT. LteutQiuitlts .Klnzle and \Vrlfiht"6f' the regular army acted respect ively" us officer of the day and adjutant , nnd after the' ' " ' - Inspection iiitrd"Was'-posted nnd the company drills were On. Rnch of the four companies was given an opportunity tn dis play ItbOlf. and availed itself of It , all utiliz ing the full time allotcd , which was unfortu nately as much as would have been the earn a compctatlVD drill. The drills were In teresting , but It finally became too much of good tiling , and the wearied crowd began leave. Each company was liberally up- plnuded , the cadets creating a most favora ble Impression by the nice cadence of their marching column. The perfect obliques the Omalm Guards and the skirmish drill of the Dodge Light Guards were features that commanded enthusiastic recognition , al though the latter company In the excitement the moment , due to the Immediate presence the enemy , neglected to attend to the little preliminary of fixing bayonets. It made a very successful charge , however , without them , Thu drill of the gatllng section was mont Interesting nndyas closely watched by the audience , not many of whom had before had opportunity to see how the gun that fires shots a minute wes operated. Following the drllli thir Thtirston Hllles were | paraded , and the new colors of the company were presented by Mrs. Fisher , president of the Lad e ' auxiliary , who turned them over to Mr. Webster , who did the oratorical torical honors fgr the auxiliary. Mrs. Fisher's short address was heard by but , but It bristled with patriotic sentiment. Shi tald that ns president of tha auxiliary presentation of the nag devolved upon , but that the presentation of the stars and stripes was the most pleasing duty that unmerlcan citizen could bo called upon to perform. She trusted that the recipients would i remember that It was presented by their mothers , sisters nnd other * they held dearcbt In civil life , * While this wan not a warlike nation and was not disposed to. car nage , Its card'nal Mm was tn defend the con stitution. The speaker hoped that the bright silken folds of this itnrry Innner would over wave over those to whom it was now en- triiHted , and that they would never bo found wanting In defending It , whllo the God ot right would over watch over nnd protect them , even as their mothers had done In the'r Infancy , Mr. Webster made a glowing apostrophe the stars and stripes , which ho charac- torl/.ed us the most beautiful work of art. uceiued to cxpeilenco n little dllHculty In warming to his subject , nnd It wns re marked that It might have been because Ilia mime that was no prominently Identi with the occasion , for nn atmosphere seeming frigidity seemed to hang over platfotm whore the three senatorial can didates , Crounse , Thurtitmi and Webster , Hat with elbows almost touching. Chaplain Duller woke the echoes , how ever , nnd stirred the patriotic blood In no slight ( degree. Ha said he received this em blem of liberty In behalf of the Ulllea , of whom hu had the honor to be chaplain. In ancient days glndlators about to die saluted great Caesar , and It waa hoped that thcJO young gladlatois of today would show equal devotion to this flag should occasion over come for them to so manifest It. The colors and guidons were turned over the color bearer and guides , and the crowd cheered enthusiastically as the platoons teens separated nnd the folds of the slurs htrlpes spread over the heads of their defenders. Another drill by the company was followed dieHs parade by the four companies , and short addresxcs by Governor Crounse and Genur.il Frederick. Shortly after midnight the floor was given ( o the dancers , and fifteen numbers were tripped out to the delightful music of the bund.
