Near Trinidad, Colo, From
Party in Ambush, Which
Is Finally Routed.

Trinidad. Colo. Dec. s-Wh!le several
deputies and clerks were driving from
Berwind to Tobasco. at o'clock this aft
ernoon. they were fired upon by several
men hid behind rocks and bush.
The deputies and clerks jumped from
the wagon and returned the fire.
The shooting continued at intervals for
thirty minutes. though no one was in
jured
Sheriff Clark and posse was preparing
to start for the scene on special train
when word was received that reinforce
ments of guards had arrived from To-
basco. half a mile away. and the ambush
party fled. No arrests were made.
The trouble originated this morning
when a striker came into the main office
at Berwind and became very abusive. He
was kicked out by a deputy. and it is
thought he stirred up friends to start the
fight.
The double funeral of velano and Bond,
the miners killed by guards in the battle

In Trinidad from the Catholic Church to-
morrow afternoon, under the auspices of
the Miners Union. This being the first
