mage none now doubts. Strikers, mill
tia and mine guards throughout
southern Colorado are in state of
high excitement, but the counsel of
their leaders prevents them from fly
ing at each others throats and re-
newilg the fighting.
The principal blood-letting was at
Forbes and this tragedy was charac-
terized by many as the strikers re-
venge for the destruction of their
tent colony there last winter. Sew
eral months ago, an armored auto
mobile dashed into Forbes and open
ed fire on the colony:
Later came soldiers and all the
tents were destroyed by order of Ait.
Gen. Chase. Since then the place
has been without strikers.
For three hours more the men in
the camp stood their ground until
every building in the place had been
riddled. Then they fed, leaving six
of their number dead.
In the hills outside of Forbes three
corpses of strikers were located dur
ing the night. One of these was
lodged in a tree, the victim having
been slain as he was attempting to
pick off the defenders with a high
powered rife.
The strikers burned the mine
buildings and then returned to thief
camp. No militia participated in this
fight.

date for an embalmers' license, had

however, in the freeholders' room at
the Court House.
The protest against Van Vechten
was received by the examiners as the
written tests were about to start. 1t
stated that Van Vechten had not
served three years as an apprentice,
as the statute requires. Van Vechten
declared that he had actually worked
for his brother n-law, Thomas Moore,
an embaimer, of Plainfield, for the
prescribed time.
The members of the board decided
to defer the examination to investi-
gate the case. Van Vechten lives at
IN Hamilton street, New Brunswick.
The candidates who are taking the
examinations today are from all over
the State. After the written tests
they will give practical exhibitions of
their ability at the local morgues.
The members of the board present at
the examinations are John A. Max
we'll of Somerville, president; Her
bert p, Margerum, of Trenton, treas
urer; John F. Martin, of Elizabeth,
secretary and B. r. Schroeder, or

ton, was the only absentee.

HIT BY CAR, RISKS
LIFE TO GET HAT
William Gotkin Has Narrow Es-
cape from Death at Four
Corners.

Struck by a trolley car and badly
injured about the face and body early
today. William Gotkin, of 2so Prince
street, risked further injuries by
jumping UP and running along the
car tracks after his hat. Then he

the First Precinct police ambulance
and Gotkin was taken to the City
Hospital.
There it was found his head was
badly lacerated above both eyes, his
face was gashed in several places and
his body was severely bruised. 1t is
possible he may be injured Internally.
The accident happened on Market
street, few feet west Of Broad. Got
kin alighted from the rear end of an
east-bound car. He turned north to
cross the street around the rear of
the car from which he had just
alighted AS he stepped from the east
bound track toward the west-bound
track, a west-bound car struck him a
glancing blow. He was thrown heav-
lily to the pavement and rolled against
the east bound car.
In spite of his injuries he jumped up
quickly and ran for his hat. Then he
fell to the pavement. Traffic Officer
McHugh and Trolley Inspector DON
nelly ran to his aid. He was carried
into a nearby hallway. Officer Nc
Hugh summoned the ambulance.
The accident, happening as 1t did, at
the -Four Corners" attracted q large
crowd Trolley and vehicle traffic for
a time was held up.
