BATTLE IN DUBLIN
IS FATAL TO FOUR
Nationalist and Troops Clash in the
Streets-Disappoint Citizens At
tack Scottish Borderers.

Dublin, July 2S.-Two men and two
women were killed and at least sixty
persons we're wounded Sunday in the
first actual battle of the Irish en-
broglio. 1t was fight between Irish
nationalists and the Kings Own Scot
fish Borderers, AMI has aroused great
excitement.
All the wounded are in hospitals and
it is reported that at least seven OF
them are dying. Among the most Sc
verely hurt is NJ. j. Judge, prominent
officer in the Nationalist volunteers.
The fight was caused when the sol
diers seized consignment of contra
band arms destined for the National
lists. The arms had been landed at
Howth, seaport not far from Dublin.
and were brought to this city shortly
after noon
The authorities. having received
secret information of the arrival of the
rifles and ammunition, confiscated
them as soon as they were brought in
side the limits of Dublin.
The Nationalists, who had hoped
that the arms would be available for
use in the threatened clash with the
Ulster army. bitterly resisted the seiz-
ures, first in riots then in actual bat
tie with the troopers.
The Kings Own Borderers. one OF
the prize" regiments in the British
army, formed hollow square about
the confiscated arms. Presenting a.
stone wall front 10 approach from ALI
directions, the soldiers stood on guard
awaiting the onslaught of the Nation
alists.
When the expected charge came.
some of the Nationalist bearing arms
and others provided with stones and
similar missiles with which to pelt the
soldiers. the command was given to
fire.
Only one volley was fired, two men
and two women falling dead in the fore
front of the attackers while the wound
ed dropped all about them.

TORRENT RUINS
TELLURIDE, COL.
Famous Mining Town Is Virtually
Wiped Out.
TWO WOMEN ARE DROWNED

Wall of Water Down Canyon
Scores Saved by Warning
of Sick Miner.

Denver, Colo. July 29.-The famous
mining town of Telluride was prac-
tically ruined Monday, by a torrent
that descended upon it from Cornet
creek. The flood resulted from a
cloudburst about four miles up in the
mountains.
Two women are known to have been
drowned, and Is children were res
cued after wall of water from eight
to twenty feet high had hit the city

net canyon runs precipitous course
directly into the city of Telluride.
The town has population of 1000. A
majority of the inhabitants are miners
and their families

at the mouth of the canyon, has been

his humble porch he heard the roar of
the torrent. He ran half clad into the
town, warning everyone he passed.
lives; for, soon after he had given the
warning, hundreds of families we're
fleeing to the hillsides.
All Telluride's 1000 inhabitants are
huddled in upper stories of houses on
the sides of the hills. Many of them
know that their little homes have
been wrecked beyond repair; but, with
the stern heroism of the miner and
his own. they do not complain. They
only offer up thanks to their Creator
that they are alive
The physical loss is greater than
any in Telluride yet realize. Experts
declare that the property damage can
not be under $275,000. Not a residence
or business house in the little city.
except few cottages scattered along
the sides of the hills, remains whole.
The dead are Mrs. John Johnson,
wife of a miner, and ldrs. E. e. Blake
ly, jewelers. wife. Thomas Welsh,
mine owner, is missing.
When the food hit the city proper
there was no dearth of heroes. John
Sands, teamster, and Harry Lyle,
miner, rescued 20 children who had
been literally washed out of their
homes. They also brought to the
surface the body of Mrs. Johnson.
Telluride sits in the San Miguel
valley. cornet canyon extends from
the mountains right into the city.
This is the first time in history that
the torrent from the canyon has been
too great to be turned into the San
Miguel channel.

We have enough goods to send to you
and in our turn we will buy your manu-

corn meal and coffee. Already We use
your barbed wire fences. For too many
years we have been exploited by foreign
merchants and now we intend to do our
business direct. The Danish merchants
who used to have a monopoly on our
business have failed and left for their
homes.
Next month we are even going to
have a flag of our own. We are tired
of the Danish flag and won't use it any
longer. We fought for 1t a long time
until we got bill through the Danish
parliament allowing us to use it. We
maintained that we we're a free people
and that the old treaty we made 500
years ago when we passed under Danish
domination should still be in force. That
treaty did not make US part of Den
mark. We never had a king in Iceland
and We never will have one"
