An Evil Plot.
Denver, Col., Nov. 26.—Startling
liscovcries have resulted from an in-
vestigation into the blowing up of
'he Vindicator mine in the Cripple
Creek district, according to Adjutant
tieneral Bell. He says those who
caused the explosion which killed
Superintendent McCormack and Mel-
vln Hock, also plotted to blow up th
Hold Coin, Findly, Golden Clyde,
St rat ton's Independence and several
other properties. Bell learned that
a revolver found at the scene of the
explosion was one of a number sold
October 2. A partial description of
the man who bought the revolver
was secured. Bell is sure that the
man is one of the sixteen now being
guarded inside the military lines at
i'amp Goldfleld. He is certain that
all of those concerned in the Vindica-
tor affair, with one exception, are in
custody.
It Is generally believed that Char-
les McKinney, the alleged train wreck-
er, who was spirited out of the dis-
irict for safe keeping, is the person
from whom the authorities have se-
cured much incriminating evidence.
•Tellurlde, Colo., Nov. 26—With
r,00 soldiers posted at various mines
in this district the success or failure
of the attempt at resumption of min-
ing depends at most solely upon the
ability of the mine managers to find
men. The majority of the strikers
have left for other fields.

an absolute and entire agreement

fect harmony with each other and
President Roosevelt.
This, in brief, it was announced is
the net result of a conference hold
trying to fight.
Itefereo Eddie Gltinoy, at the close
of the contest said that it was the ]
worst fight ho ever saw. Ho was
forced to give the decision to Fitz-
simmons because the latter scored the
performance last night Gardner is
knock-downs but otherwise did no
damage. It was apparent that neith-1
er man was qualified to claim cham-
pionship honors.
After tho fight Fitzsimmons ap-
peared to bo overjoyed at his victory
and claimed that tho reason he did
not knock Gardner out was that he
broke the knuckles of both hands
early in the contest. It was either
for this reason or because Fitzsim-
mons chose to act mainly on the de-
fensive long before the twenty rounds
of a bridge, erected by the
defendant company on the county
line and the case is one wherein the
sheriff of Kingfisher county tried to
