AT Forbes, Colorado, Seven
Mine Guards and One
Striker Killed
TWO MORE STRIKERS
BELIEVED TO BE DEAD
At Walsenburg, One Officer
Of the Militia Was
Killed

Denver, Col, April 30.--Nine identified
dead and probably many more whose
deaths have not been reported is the re-
suit of the fighting yesterday and last
night in the strike zone OF the Colorado
coal fields. The deaths occurred in the
battle at Forbes, and as the result the
officials have announced that drastic nc
tion will be taken at once to prevent
further bloodshed. The federal troops
have arrived at Canon City and Trini-
dad.
The Forbes camp was a scene OF desc
lation, practically all the mine buildings
having been destroyed by fire. Here it
was the work OF only few feeting
hours. II was about $3.50 a. m. that the
strikers opened their attack in force,
with women and children of the camp
barricaded in the mine stope, the guards
under the personal direction of Superin-
tendent Nichol responded spiritedly.
About ten o'clock the firing ceased and
the camps assailants disappeared as
mysteriously as they came, some toward
Trinidad, and others over the hills III the
direction of Berwind and Tabasco. Ac-
cording to Superintendent Nichol three
strikers were seen to tumble down the
hillside.
Fighting that practically encircled the
town continued for five hours at Walsen-
burg between strikers, militia and mine
guards. Major p p. Lester, of the hos
pital corps. met his death, shot through
the left breast. while dressing the
wounds OF comrade within 100 yards
of the strikers position. Firing ceased
shortly after three o'clock.
With two troops OF United States cav
airy in the Fremont county fields and
citizens. volunteers and militia on guard
in Boulder county, state officials last
night gave their attention to preparing
for sudden outbreaks in Las Animas and
Huerfano county where federal troops
were not expected TO arrive before this
morning The militia detachment re-
lieved by federal soldiers in Fremont
county was Fastening to Colonel Yer
deckburg's assistance at Walsenburg.

Ernest Chabotte Victim in the Merrimac
River at Franklin, N. H.

Franklin. \. H.. April 30-Emest Cha
botte. aged %, is believed by the po-
lice to have drowned himself in the Mer-
rimac river yesterday forenoon while
trying to avoid arrest.
Chabotte was walking along Elkins
street with City Marshal Hale, having
agreed to take the officer to a house
where he had stayed and recover some
goods it is alleged he stole. Suddenly
Chabotte broke away from the marshal,
ran through the yard of the Franklin
Lumber company at the foot OF Elkins
street and jumped into the river.
He seemed to tread water for short
distance. Marshal Hale and Officer Do
bertv. who had been looking for Cha
botte before the arrest, kept him in
view. walking along the river bank un-
til they came to clump OF bushes.
This hid him from sight for about
minute and when they could see the riv-
er again Chabotte had disappeared.
His hat was Coating along the water.
The river is running high because of
the spring rains and there is a swift
current at this point. The river is about
100 feet wide.
The officers made a careful search,
but could find no trace Of the missing
man.
Chabotte formerly lived here. but has
recently lived ia Bennington, VT. He
had been at work as. a wOodchopper and
had been around Franklin about a
month.

Board Of Trade canvassers Active.

Scarcely "a hours have elapsed since
the directors of the Barre Board Of
Trade adopted the tentative program of
arrangements for raising the Sl0,00O
fund for the new hotel, and vet some
of the workers are already abroad and
are meeting with warm reception in
all quarters. Not that the campaign or
the canvass has anywhere near reached
its aim, for only q beginning has been
made; but the campaigners believe they
have made good start and the 81 1000
and more in voluntary subscriptions
made before the canvass was fairly
started has inspired the Board of Trade
members with desire to reach the to-
tai as soon as possible. With the cam
paign machinery oiled and in working
order. it is confidently hoped that the
responses all along the line will be suffi-
GENTLY liberal to insure an early ter
mination of the movement.
Wherever they go the canvassers en-
deavor to make it clear that the Board
of Trade is not asking for stock sub
scriptions, that citizens are requested
only TO subscribe toward the $4,000
"boosting fund" as il had been called.
a little over half of this sum is to be
used Tor the purchase OF the loI ana
the remainder viii be expended on some
of the preliminary building expenses. In
a word. the campaign had its origin in
the desire of many citizens to express
their public spiritedness and good will
by donating a specified sum to the cause.
Believing that the occasion called for
the exercise of ono of its prime func
tions. the Board of Trade took the mat
ter in hand and has lent its organiz-
ing facilities TO the work of raising the
fund.

expect both sides to accept the armistiee
proposal A separate proposal for an
armistiee as between Huerta and Car

NO EMBARGO ON FOOD.
But Practically Everything Else Is
Barred from Mexico.

Douglas. Ariz., April 80. Orders re-
ceiyed at the local custom house greatly
increasing the scope OF the embargo ON
shipments OF goods sent into Mexico
were placed in effect yesterday. The
new orders it is said, prevent the ex-
portation in Mexico of practically every
thing except actual food necessities.
No blazing powder, fuel, oil, coal or
coke may be shipped through, and it is
said the order will prevent plans OF mine
owners to resume operations in Mexico
if there should be no immediate break in
the Mexican situation.
1t is said this ord-r will have a serious
effect on the Mexican residences OF min
ing camps in Sonora, who have been
thrown out OF work by the closing of
the properties. The food supplies in the
camps near the borders are said TO be
limited.

REBELS VERY OPTIMISTIC.
Very Soon They Expect to Seize City of
Mexico.

chihuahua. April 3O- Recent rebel
successes, notably the capture of AIon4
terey and the further defeats said TO
have been inflicted on the retreating fed
erals in engagements between Monterey
and Saltillo have induced widespread
feeling among the heads OF the consti-
tutionalist army that Mexico City soon
will be in their hands.
1t is asserted by them that the re-
establishment of the embargo ON arms
along the Texas border will not cramp
the operation of General Villa against
Saltillo and other points. There is a
feeling OF confidence that Villa has sulii-
cient ammunition 10 conduct operations
until Tampico is taken by the rebels,
giving them port exempt from the
operations OF the embargo. There is a
deep seated impression here that the fall
OF Tampico cannot be long delayed.

THE DIRECT PRIMARY.
Present Law Should Be Repealed or

(BOise statesman

There is much disapproval express

that there is great danger of an effort
being made to revert to the OLD con-
yention system which would surely
be serious blunder
1t IS plain that a general interest II
elections can not be maintained with
out strong party organizations ano
that we can not have such organ1Za-
tions with the present law. Strong
party loyalty can not be given TO
ticket in the nomination of which the
M rtv had no controlling power ane
no power to correct an unwise or lin'
nroper nomination without 1mperlh'

tion Allen was placed on the ticket pc
couse the opposition to him was al
vided between three candidates max
ING II a simple matter for him witt
bia knowledge of the field and his IN
+anse desire to win, but he never coul'
have succeeded before convention 0
his party organized to select state OF
ficers.
We surely can frame law that WI
enable us to have strong party organi
cations again that are truly represeh
tative and free from boss rule ana a
tbe same time, to retain the good teat
