Tuesday they started toward Ludlow to repair the wires. They were going along the road when they saw a little girl lying at the side of the roadway. She was lying there with the side of her head badly burned. In one hand she clasped a doll while the other arm was held across her eyes. Just as the linemen were about to pick up the little sufferer, one of the brutal, murdering gunmen of Linderfelt's command stepped up to the lineman and told him to leave the little girl where she was.
None know what became of the little tot.
It is believed that she contributed to the blaze on the funeral pyre erected to John D. Rockefeller Jr., Sunday school teacher and philanthropist. Thirty women and children who escaped to the Powell ranch were held prisoners there until Tuesday night. They had nothing to eat or drink and appealed frantically to Trinidad for relief. Appeals were sent to Major Hamrock O have mercy, for God's sake. Acting Governor Fitzgarrald, who vies with Ammons for the honor of being the real spineless executive of Colorado, finally ordered Saloonkeeper Hamrock to release the women.
