DYNAMITE PLOT; EXPLOSION KILLS TWENTY-FIVE MEN The Dynamite was Laid Un der the Depot Floor and Supposed to Have Been Set Off by the Incoming Train ' the Miners Were Boarding. Detectives are at Work on the Case Men Were Em ployed by the Findley Company and Usually Took That Train. CBy Associated Press.) Cripple Creek. June 6. Twelve miners were instantly killed ana eight or ten others badly injured by an explosion early today at Inde pendence station of Florence and Crip ple Creek railroad. The cause of the explosion has not been ascertained but apparently it was the result of a plot against non-union miners on the night shift at Shurtleff, Findlay and Lost Dollar mines, who had just finished work and were about to return to their homes. The men had no warning of their impending fate. The explosion occurred beneath the platform on which they were standing, hurling many high in the air, destroying the platform and rending a great hole in the earth. It is believed a large quantity of dynamite had been placed under the platform and that it was set off by electricity or by the concussion caused by an approach ing train. The First Account. Colorado Springs, Colo., June 6. An explosion at Independence Station of tht Florence and Cripple Creek rail road early today killed sixteen men and iniured nine others fatally. The explosion was doubtless caused by dy namite which had been laid under the center of the depot platform and was set. off by an incoming train. Officials of the company and special detectives are now working on the case. The vic tor Militia under Captain Moore have been ordered out and trouble is expect, ed. The miners killed and wounded were employed in the Findley property and had just come off duty and were waiting to take a train home. It was their customary hour for taking the train and it is supposed the alleged crime was committed to catch these men. A special tram was seat iwm H CLL1X WOO iSCill. n win L'rippie ureeit.as suu. was reported, but barring the confirma tion of the report of the explosion ana of the death of fifteen to twenty men no details have been learned. Full Account of the Disaster. Cripple Creek, J,une 6. The train had not arrived at the Independence station when the explosion occurred but was within a short distance. Forty-five bodies were laid out together and the remnants of others secured as rapidly as possible. . On account of the terrible nature of the wounds, identification is difficult. The impact shook buildings in the town and everything became dark. The depot platform and sur rounding objects were rent into splin ters. The dead were found with much difficulty. The train consisted of two coaches and as just made up carnea no passangers. it is supposea ai ied&L two hundred pounds ot dynamite musi have been used to produce such an ex plosion. The ground on which the de pot stood shows a great gap, as tnougn an earthquake had torn up the coun try. The theory of accident is scouted by every one. . i NEW YORK TOUGHS , William Gillen Was AttacKea Dy a Gang of Toughs in His Own Home.. (By Associatea tress.; New York. June 6.

The boy threw the ball at a group of 150 Italian coal passers who were leaving the pier, and it struck one of the men on the leg. The Italian drew a stiletto and ran, after the boy but was caught by a policeman. The Ital ians then knocked the officer down and beat him until other policemen charged the crowd. Italians and po lice then drew revolvers and in the shooting that followed four of the Italians were wounded. The others were driven aboard the Cunard liner Slavonia. Owing to the fact that the Italians threw their revolvers into the river as soon as the chambers were emptied, none were found on the pris oners, but every man arrested had a stilletto and , some of them two. None of the policemen were seriously hurt. It is thought the wounded Italians will all recover.
