the crime. and each endeavored To lay
II on the other. Late Tuesday after

the day the prisoners were loaded into a
wagon and started back to the jail. At

much underbrush, half a mile from
Walsenburg, the crack of a dozen rifles,

who was driving the wagon, was also
killed. The officers returned the fire,
which lasted several minutes.
