cusations brought by Mead Barr. an

WALSENBURG, Colo, Nov. S.-The
most tragic battle in the history OF

Colorado fields took place late this
afternoon, three-quarters of mile
west Of the town of LaVeta. when an
automobile containing three guards.

bushed by a gang of men and three of

Captain of the Guards Bryan came
to LaVeta early this afternoon to
have some dental work done. He left
the dental Office and started to leave
town when he was stopped at the out
skirts by strikers. He then tele-
phoned to Mine Superintendent Jones
at Oakdale, telling him of his predica-
ment, and an automobile and three
guards were sent to his assistance.
The party of five, on the return trip.
had proceeded about mile west of
La Veta when without warning fire
was opened upon them by gang who
were concealed in an empty reservoir.
The driver, Terry, was killed by the
first shot. Captain Bryan riding be-
side him was the next victim. He left
the auto and ran back fifty yards. One
shot struck him and he fell. A mo-
ment later second shot hit him, kill
ing him. Whitten had started to fol-
low Bryan and had taken. but few
steps when he too, was killed. VIM
Gamblin, one of the two men who es-
capped, was shot in the left shoulder,
and second shot tore through his
foot. R. G. Adams, fifth member of the
party, escaped unhurt.
The streets Of the little town OF La
veta were crowded when the auto
party left and but few minutes had
elapsed when the sound Of the first
shots startled the crowd After the fir
ing was over, five men were seen to
come from behind the embankments
and make their way southwark. When

burg, Colonel Verderckberg ordered a

battle. The troops reached Laveta
