Two Children Injured.

At Tabasco the two children were the
only known injured. though it is from
this fight that the one guard is re-
ported missing. The battle there was
Of nature almost identical with that
Of the Hastings fight, except that the
strikers approached the camp from only
one direction. About ono hundred of
them were engaged by an equal num-
ber of mine guards who had been
aroused from their sleep by the sound
Of shots,
While the fight on Tabasco was at its
height the strikers dropped tin
bucketful Of black powder into the
canyon at a place calculated to throw
it against one of the many frame
buildings of the camp. Water from
falling snow had gathered at tho point
where the bucket landed, and the fuse
was extinguished.
At about this time the mine guards
reached the top of the opposite en-
bankment and began to operate their
machine gun, guided by the brilliant
light Of a high power searohlight.
Guards from the adjoining camp, Ber-
wind, hurried to the aid Of their fel-
lows at Tabasco, and the strikers de-
ployed along the hill after firing from
the Michigan gun began, until reaching
place over this camp. There the bat
tie waR renewed and continued until 9
