Trinidad. Colo. April 24-E'ightipg between state troops and armed strik- CTS began shortly after II o'clock at Bunker H1ll, a short distance south Of Monson. according to reports just received here.
 The strikers are reported to have captured two trains and the cavalry men have turned their horses loose and are entrenching.
 About 800 state militia arrived at Walsenberg early today and at day break began to move southward into the zone where heavy fighting with loss of life has occurred between miners and militia during the last five days.
 A train which reached Trinidad last night was crowded with refugees from the center of the disturbed district.
 The towns water supply is run ming short. Similar conditions exist in probably a dozen mining camps in Huerafano and Las Animas counties today.

Police Rescue Driver, Who Is Released Under
 5000 Bail

While crossing the street at Clinton and Fairfield avenues, after alighting from 8 west bound trolley car, Mrs. Rachael Simon, of 1849 Fairfield ave- an automobile owned and driven by Tfmathy F. Foley. Of South Norwalk. about Il o'clock today. The woman was rushed to St. vincent.s hospital where it was said that there was no hope for her recovery.
 Mrs. simon was returning to her home from shopping trip, and as slaa stepped from the west bound troI- ley her arms were heavily laden win bundles. Living on the oppnsfke side of the street 9rorn which she got off she stanped in back of tiae trogl lev and started to cross the Street. The car obscured her view Of the traffic that was going eastward 4and she stepped into the eastbound car track Mr Foley was driving his car eastward in the car tracks. He did not see the woman until she was directly in front of the machine.
 Although Foley applied his brakes immediately, the car struck the woman with frightfu1 impact, hurling her body 20 feet. The force of the blow was so great a headsight was smashed to pieces, and the iron rods that sup ported 1t were bent almost double.
 When the police and emergency hos pital corps arrived they found Foley covering in the bottom of the auto mobile, surrounded by m0b of ex- cited people. Threats were made that they would take him out of the ma- chine and hang him, and it was only the timely arrival of the police that saved him from being taken from the automobile by the mob.
 pr. Beaudry made a hurried exam ination of the woman's condition and discoYered that she was suffering from fractured skull. She was also bruised and cut about the face and body. He had her taken to St Yin cents hospital where it was declared after thorough investigation of her condition was made that she was fa- tally injured. Mrs. Simon is 50 years old and the widow of the late Lewis B. Simon.
 Foley was arrested and taken to po- lice headquarters where a charge Of reckless driving. was entered against him. He was held in 5000 ball. which was furnished by George W Hill of this city, formerly publisher of two Bridgeport newspapers. Foley is bridge contractor, and we'll known in South Norwa1k-

AUDITORIUM PLANNED TO
 SEAT 5000
Plans Considered For Big Building On Main, Arch and Congress Sts.
Estimated Cost of Proposed Building More Than a
 Quarter Million

Plans for a monster auditorium with a seating capacity of over 1000 persons, and massive store-front rosnning adjunct to the Hotel Suat- field is tacitly admitted by Samuel Wheeler, the well known anancier and hotel proprietor, to be in course of preparation for his parcel of. land on upper Main street, between Congress and Arch. The erection Of the build ing may be postponed for some months according to- statements made to the Farmer yesterday by ths famous real estate operator in his sumptuOus of flee at the Strataeld. ;
 That Arcnitect Bridges. who person ally directs all plans for the Wheel CT buildingss had under consideration and partially completed, plans for the monster building was not denied yes- 'teraay by the owner of the Congress street property.
 The plans, details of which were re- fused for publication subject to change before final completion. are said to contemplate handsome store fronts two stories high, on Main street. A large central lobby is planned to lead to gigantic auditorium in the rear, with a seating capacity of over 4.o00, making it large enough for the biggest convention or assembly held in the east.
 To provide for smaller concerts 0cA&4CCS dkl0 bsSss11A pL1SS 4lOO 1SLI St lO D6 accommodated comfortably in the present Stratfie1d hotel an additional auditorium, upon the same floor. with a seating capacity of between 500 and 800 may be added. Whether this will be entirely separate or will be so ar ranged that the two halls may, upon demand, be made into one large one, is not known.
 It is believed that domed em- porium for merchandise upon he sec- cnd floor, above the street stores and overlooking the auditoriums may later be included in the plans.
 Abov5 the exterior of the structure upon Congress and Arch streets an i'm mense number of rooms are contem- plated as an annex to the Hotel Stratf1eld, may rise several stories Elnployes Of the Stratheld state that on many occasions the present hotel rooms are filled and much transient trade that could be accommodated in the annex is now turned away. Con- venfions. college functions at Yale and many other notable events in Bridge port have filled the big hotel making the present plans imperative if com pet1tive hotel ventures are to be off, set.
 The estimated cost of the proposed building is more than a quarter of million dollars.
