ANARCHY OUTDONE
Citlzenn Alliance of Cripple
Crook Puts it to Shame.
BIDS DEFIANCE TO THE LAW
Arrett, Imurliiiti and Deport Colon Mem-
lirra mill l'iirr IlinliifH Men
to Declare ABHlimt Union.
Death to unionism In the Cripple
Creek district Is the new slogan of the
citizens' alliance, which has sent a de
cree brondrast that every person con
nected with any union In the Cripple
Creek mining district must either sever
his or her connection with such organ
ization of leave the dlstrlc t.
Tho latest stand of the nntl-unlonlsts
was vaguely hinted at but the move
ment on tho part of the alllnm e seemed
so absurd to three or four thousand
unionists In tho tump and Its enforce
ment fraught with mi many difficulties
that It was not taken M-dlously.
Tjson S. Dines, a Den or attorney,
and one of the executors of the Strat
ton estate, Is in conference with the
citizens' alllnnce leudeis, nnd It Is an
nounced that he Is formulating an
agreement which will be presented to
every merchant and business man and
other employer of labor In the entire
district pledging them not to employ
any permn who is afllllntcd with a
labor union.
No person who works for a living
will be exempt, and the absolute anni
hilation of unionism in that county is
predicted by members of the citizens'
alliance and tho mine nwnt rs' associa
tion. This is considered tho most dras
tic step yet tnken by tho alliance since
It secured the upper hold in the dis
trict and Its enforcement will affect
3,000 men and women now affiliated
with the various unions.
Among the unions that will be af
fected by tho new movement are
clerks, cooks and waiters, bartenders,
carpenters, electricians, trainmen and
stone and brick masons. The union
ists assert they will fight tbo move
ment to n finish.
Tho mining exchange hall Is being
used as a bull pen In addition to the
Victor armory. Armed deputies are
perched In tho galleries of tho ex
change. Tho prisoners occupy tho pit
of the call room. Several gum da are at
the door, each carrlng repeating shot
guns that contain buckshot. Futilities
und wives of tho prisoners kept close
to the building In nn endeavor to see
and hao a talk with the husbands and
fathers Incarcerated, but In most nises
permission was refused.
Subsequently two committees com
posed of the citizens' alliance started
out with Identlcnl forms of agreement
to Becuro signatures. With two excep
tions all business houses visited signed
through nuthorleil rcpiesentntlves
Tb agreement reads:
"We, the undersigned merchnnts of
the Cripplo Creek district and employ
ers of help hereby agtee not to employ
help of any kind that Is In any way
connected with trndes ni-tembly or the
American federation of labor or the
western federation of miners or kin
dred organlatious."
Every clerk employed In stores on
Bennett avenue, the principal street
belongs to some union, but all will be
required to surtender their cards, ac
cording to the agreement made today
by their employers.
Deputies have been busy nil day
making nrrcsts, and at C o'clock there
was confined In the bull pen a total of
fifty-seven men. Since the wholesale
arrests have been In progress tho mine
owners' association office has been
filled with men who are flocking there
to take out cauls, but none are being
Irsued at present.
The Portland Is the only large mine
In the district that has continued In
operation since the explosion at Inde
pendence on Monday which killed or
maimed more than twenty non-union
miners.
The Portland Gold Mining company,
through Its president nnd manager,
James F. Burns, who is not a member
of the Cripple Creek district mine-owners'
association, conceded the demands
of the union men when the strike was
Inaugurated last August and has stead
ily glen employment to about D00
men.
Tho military authorities are credited
with saying that when the Burns In
junction Is asked fot an attempt will
be mndo to arrest Mr Burns himself
on tho criminal (hinge thnt he In
cited the riot It is not claimed that
there Is ground for an accusation that
Mr. Burns personally Incited the riot,
the implication being that he should be
held u sponsible for the recent trou
bles nt Cripple Creek, because he main
tained the unions by giving employ
ment to union miners.
Following the closing of the Port
land It was announced that the mines
will hegln to reopen tomorrow, the
non-union mines first, and others later,
nnd that business Is to be resumed in
the district at once. All miners who
want work must first secure a working
card fiom the xrilne-ow nets' nsbocla
tion. llnlo H07 (.el Damages.

And when she prnys, I hear thro' prnte

Twenty-one jenrs ago three little
children were suddenly bereft of
father and mother they were friend
less and homeless; but it was only
ono of the many similar Instances!
happening every day only three llt
tlo children left friendless and home
less; that was all. But It was a cru
cial moment In at lenst one life. Rev.
J. G. IiCtnen wus at that tlmo pastor
of a large church In Council Bluffs,
la. This man, whoso heart was largo
enough to find a place for every un
fortunate, one, took these children
Into bis own homo, where they shar
ed the same loving, tendor euro that (
was bestowed upon his own llttl"
ones. It wus not long before he learn
ed of other children who had been
loft to tho cold mercies of a selfish
world. Moved with compnsslon, he
took these, also, to his already over
crowded homo. Then came the test;
money was needed. Ho bad a few
thousand dollars which ho had saved
up for a rainy day Ho little knew
what tho Master had in store for
him; but ho was obedient and when
tho newa came that other little ones
had been left alone, fatherless and
motherless, with no one to care for
them, and the command came to 'nke "
these also, to tho ordinary man, with
Ms house filled to overflowing nnd a
large congregation looking to him to
be fed spiritually, It would havo
seemed like an Impossibility; not so,
however, with this man; It was
enough for him to know that his Mas
tor approved of it and bid him to do
it. As ho stepped out upon His
promises nnd obeyed the command to
go forward, tho way opened before
him, nnd when ho had exhausted his
own competency, never doubting but
that a way would bo oponod to supply
their needs, Ho who owns the cattle
upon a thousand hills moved upon v
the hearts of Km faithful subjects to
send of their substance that theso
little homelefs ones might bo cured
for. Larger quarters became neces
sary, and tbey were secured. Other
children were loft homeless, and
found under his roof not only shelter
from the Etorm, but a loving, tender
father, as all at tno Home delight to
call him, and, moro than this in his
sainted wife, now deceased who pre
sided over tho household affairs and
was continually looking after tbeir
welfare.
From a small beginning, twenty-one
years ago, tho Christian Home has
grown until now about two hundred
and fifteen children aro cared for
there, and two thousand have been
placed In good Christian families.
Tho real estate consists of nbout
twenty-flvo cottages and other build
ings, all owned by an organization
which has been formed through the ef
forts of Mr. lAmen with a view of
making It a permanent organization.
Mr. and Mrs. Lemen havo been
blessed with four lovely children
three sons and one daughtor. Ail of
them take great delight In the work
of the Home, and on them, no doubt,
the mantle of their father and moth- '
er will fall. The oldest son 1b giv
ing hla entire llfo to this work also.
The scrupulous neatness nnd older
that pervades the entire Institution,
the loving salutation of "Hello,
papa!" that rings out from every
quarter as he passes about the
grounds, and tho remarkable execu
tive ability 'he displays in all the
management of the affairs of the
Home, are sufficient to Impress every
visitor that it is no ordinary man
who has been called to this great and
