SENT A BLOODY flNQEfc
Tfaf Cnmnphilwit of the Colorado Mlfltte Ife
Celved a Bloody Memento.
Denver, Dec. 2.—Adjutant Gen. Sher
man M. Bell, today received from
Telluride, the following letter wrapped
around a human finger:
"General Bell—We send you the fin
ger of a man who disappeared from
Telluride some time ago. His ears will
follow and then his head. If his
friends want to see him again in any
other way but the way we send him, you
have got*to do one thing. We only
want you to withdraw the troops from
Telluridej at once. If you don't you
will receive his ears in a few days.
Don't try to find us for jt is not in
the power of a tin soldier to do it.
(Signed) "S. D.'
A physician who examined the finger
pronounced it the ring finger from the
right hand and said it was evident cut
off shortly before the letter was mailed
as the blood stains on the letter more
evidence of being fresh and the blood
on the finger was hardly dry.
After conferring with Governor Pea
body, General Bell turned the letter over
to the postoffice inspectors who will en
deavor to trace its author. It is gener
ally believed at the Capitol that the
matter was intended as a hoax.
The executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners in session in this
city today sent the following telegram
to Guy F. Mailer, president of the Tel
luride Miners' Union:
"Advise all men were ordered to
leave town as a result of alleged vag
rancy trials to remain in Telluride. The
justices of the peace nor any other of
ficial of county or states cannot compel
persons to leave any place where they
have choseft to reside. The constitu
tion of the United States concerning
rights makes it unlawful for officers to
dei\y these rights. Howe, Rutan and
others the subject to punishment in
United States courts the law will be
duly invoked. You are assured of the
hearty support of the Western Federa
tion of Miners."
