AT Walsenburg three bodies have been

the Forbes and Trinidad battles. the

twenty-five victims of the Ludlow

the Coroners jury that he and Frank
Bayes, ranchman, witnessed the deed.
The ranch house. in which many OF
the women and children refugees from
the coiony sought shelter, he testified,
was under the troops fire during the
greater part of the day. He exhibited
a bullet, which he declared smashed
through window and landed spent on
the floor of one of the rooms in which
a number of women and children hud-
died.
The physician also exhibited a white
flag which he said he carried with him
on a trip from the ranch TO a water
tank near the colony where man was
reported to have been wounded. The
flag showed the marks of five bullets,
the first OF a continuous fusi,lade from
the miiitia's line which. according TO the
physician drove him to cover under an
embankment and held him there for
almost an hour. When he reached the
water tank. he declared, the injured
man was dying.
The civil invest CATION Of the Ludlow
disaster was commenced unexpectedly
