Colorado river to this valley and thence

A Three IIoursl eattIe

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 2S.-After three
hours hot fighting in the canyons sur
rounding the mining properties at De
lagua, Hasting, Berwind, and Tobias
co, lull in the battle was caused
by lack Of ammunition on the part Of
the strikers and mine guards.
One striker is known to have been
seriously injured, and conflicting re-
ports are received here concerning
the fatalities among the mine guards.
Reports have it that none was injured,
and others say that Is mine guards
were killed. Because Of lack Of wire
communication no accurate infcnna-
ton relative to the mine guards ca
sualties can be had at this time.
A report to William ]. Murray Of
the victor-American Fuel company,
from the captain Of guards at Hast
ings described the battle at that mine
as follows:
"Firing at Berwind and Tobasco
started at o'clock, We held our po-
sition at the gate all night, When
the shooting started we went to the
hills on the south side Of the camp
We met negro at the mouth Of the
canyon who reported that Marshal
Robson and his men were ambushed
by about rs strikers. We there took
a position on the hill to the left Of
the searchlight, and did the best we
could to keep off strikers. who were
entrenched at the mouth Of the can
yon to the south.
"The strikers swarmed over the
hills by the hundreds. When the fir
inc ceased at Berwind. we were com
PEELED to retreat from hill to hill,
but it got SO hot that we could not
stay any longer We reueated to the
town (Hastings) in a hail Of bullets
None Of the bunch was injured. The
gatling gun was out Of commission
on account Of the snow"
Marshal Robson and his guards are
reported safe in Hastings. The camps
Of Delagua and Hastings were badly
demolished, according to reports, but
far as is known none Of the residents
Of the camps was injured.
An attempt by the strikers to ex-
plode dynamite in Tabasco was a fail
.ure. according to report from the
local g. r. and ofga IRE lonlh
