1t is said that some of the shots
were fired from the union hall. Sher-

by the soldiers and union men for
twenty minutes wnen the miners sur

were found in the hall, and there were
no casualtise in the attacking party.

Mexican Sheep Shearers Have Fight
that May Result Fatally.

Two unknown Mexican sheep shear
ers had a quarrel in the Green Front
saloon last night at about three
O'Clock which resulted in a fight at
the rear of the saloon and one of
them was literally carved To pieces.
Had he been other than a Mexican
the injured man would have expired
instantly. but he is still alive. No
hopes are entertained for his recov-
cry. His assailant escaped and has
not been captured. The only trace
of him the officers have is as far as
the back door OF the saloon. The Of
ficers secured the country for the
man last night, but found no clue
The Mexicans were strangers in the
city and came in for a spree from
one of the sheep camps.

bled from all parts of the camp in
the belief that the darkness would
invite further bloodshed. Their ex-
pectations, however, proved ground
less. Aside from the occasional ar
rest of a union agitatOr and an occa-
sional shot from some dark secluded
spot in the foothills, the night pass

streets and footpaths leading from
the mines were closely watched and
every few minutes some man was
brought in and placed in the bull-pen.
