cared for by the company. The miners
had prepared an ambuscade for the
guards In the woods midway between the
Pum Run and Bradley mines. and as the
63 armed men, marching in single file,
came along the narrow path a miner
ahead shot in the air. At this signal the
$50 strikers, who were hiding hehind the
rocks and trees, opened FIRE from the hill
sides on the guards in the hollow. Many
Of the latter at once broke ranks and fled
back to Plum Run, but Others stood their
ground and returned the fire. The
battle lasted Is minutes. Over 500 shots
we're exchanged, and the firing only
ceased after the guards ammunition had
been exhausted. The guard next re-
tired from the field and returned to Plum
