Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... Saturday, June 18th.--Board of Inquiry moves its headquarters to county jail. Sunday, June 19th--Was quiet, nothing more than the regular sweating of prisoners occurred. Crump announced that he was continuing his work of sweating the members of the W. F M. in county jail and making good progress and hoped to be prepared to produce some startling evidence when the time for the inquiry into the Victor riot came. Thus ended the second week. It might be well to mention here that a county warrant for $2,000 payable to S. D. Crump had been ordered drawn by the county commissioners. This was the first of a series of five similar warrants which would have to be drawn to make up the $10,000 fee which Crump was to receive as remuneration for prosecuting the perpetrators of the Independence depot outrage, those who started the shooting and the persons who destroyed the Record plant. A. E. Carlton and II. L. Shepard, a prominent mining broker and operator, went on S. D. Crump's bond in the sum oi' $10,000 for the faithful performance of his duties. DEATH OF EMIL JOHNSON. June 23.--Breathing a curse against Governor Peabody, Adjutant General Bell and the state administration which, by exercise of its despotic militarism, had driven him from his wife and babies, Emil L. Johnson, one of the miners recently deported from Cripple Creek, ended his life in the morning by inhaling gas. For some time he had been despondent because the military refused to allow him to return to his family, and when he went to his room at 1646 Larimer street a short time after midnight he disrobed, turned on the gas and laid down on the bed to die. He was discovered about 9:30 by his brother, John T. Johnson, and Police Surgeon Holmquist was summoned. Despite the heroic...

Excerpt from The Labor History of the Cripple Creek District: A Study in Industrial Evolution The Labor History of Cripple Creek is the result of investigations carried out upon the ground, and covering a period of several years. The material for the narrative of the strike of 1894 was secured in 1902 and early in 1903, shortly before the opening of the second strike. This was fortunate in that, a considerable period having elapsed and the most friendly conditions prevailing, the second strike being no more than a faint suggestion upon the horizon, the men concerned could be induced to speak more frankly and with less conscious 1 partisanship than would have been possible at any other time. It also gave the author knowledge of the exact situation and conditions under which the second strike had its formation, and enabled him to follow the course of events with more accuracy than would have been possible under any other circumstances. During the strike of 1903-04 the author was a resident of Colorado, part of the time of Colorado Springs, and the summer season of 1905 was spent in Teller County, largely in completing the investigations for this monograph. The most important material for the work has been gained through interviews, over 300 in number, with men in a position to have an intimate knowledge of various 1 phases of the difficulties. Information has been sought from most of the union officers and many prominent union men; from nearly all the county and state officers in any way directly concerned; and from many others who from close personal experience could speak with authority of various incidents of the strike. It was originally intended to publish a list of the interviews with the bibliography, and to make free use of them in footnotes showing authority. Owing, however, to the recentness and intensity of the last strike, the resulting tension is in some cases strong.
