Mutilation of Martin, a Colorado
Soldier Boy.

Captain Carson arrived from Trini-
dad with about thirty-six men with
ammunition and a second machine
gun, which was in use during the
fight. Captain Carson detrained at
Rameyville and Immediately advanced
to the aid of Lieutenant Lawrence on
Water Tank Hill. AFTER CAPTAIN

HE HAD ALSO BEEN SHOT TWICE

WAIST.
The strikers holding a position in
the cut on the Colorado & South
eastern were forced out of this po-
sition in the direction of Barnes on
the D. & r. G. about five o'clock in
the afternoon. About the same time
orders were given to Captain T. G.
Linderfelt and the officers with him
at the Ludlow depot to aid in the TAX
ing of the steel bridge over the ar
roya northwest of the tent colony,
as Lieutenant Benedict had been able
to force his way from the west and
occupied a position in a couple of
ranch houses about four hundred
yards west of the bridge. Captain T.
C. Linderfelt with Lieutenants Bige-
low and r. J. Linderfelt with teh
men, taking advantage of the cover
afforded by the C. & S. e. tracks, had
been able to take up a position Just
south of the road going west to Hast
ings, about seventy to eighty yards
southwest of the tent colony. About
this time Captain Carson arrived with
a support and took up a position on
the right of Captain Linderfelt. Dur
ing this time they received a very
hot fire from the strikers located in
the pits in the southwest Of the tent
colony and those in the tent colony
proper.
The two machine guns which had
been placed, one on the east side of
Water Tank Hill and the other at
the cut on the C. &. s. e. which had
been taken. were firing at the steel
bridge and the rifle pits along the
south bank Of the arroyo. The troops,

AS the people in the tent colony
were gathered around in small groups
in rather a suspicious manner. Lieu
tenant lawrence, who was In COM
mand of the detachment stationed at
Cedar Hill one and one-half miles
southwest Of Ludlow, was notified by
telephone to come down little
earlier than usual for drill. Louie,
the Greek, called up Major Hamrock
stating that he would meet him at
the depot, Major Hamrock accepting
and going to the depot. Lieutenant
Lawrence was again called on the
phone by Hammock and orders given
to bring the machine gun. and Lieu
tenant Lawrence left Cedar Hill in
, command of the advanced guard
which consisted of ten men. Upon
arriving near Ludlow he left these
men on Water Tank Hill while he
| rode on to Ludlow depot to report to
Major Hamrock. Lieutenant Law
renee called Major Hamrocks atten-
tion that groups of the strikers were
armed with rifles and carried ammu-
milton and were running back and
forth, some of them having started
for the cut on the Colorado & South
| eastern, which is east of Ludlow.
The main National Guard body ar
rived from Cedar Hill under the COM
mand of Lieutenants K. E. Linderfelt
and NJ. C. Bigelow and consisted of
fifteen men.
Louie Tikas left Major Hamrock,
telling him that he would stop the
strikers. MAJOR Hamrock gave Lieu
tenant Lawrence orders to take up
position on Water Tank Hill and i'm
mediately upon returning to Water
Tank Hill from the depot Lieutenant
Bigelow was sent with seven men to
take up a position south OF the Colo
RADIO e Southeastern cut, Lieutenant
X. E. Linderfelt returning upon
Water Tank Hill proper and Lieu
tenant Lawrence swinging over to the
right of the d. & r. G. tracks with
five men. The strikers, about three
hundred in number, having gained the
cover of the cut on the Colorado &
Southeastern, opened fire on the de-
tachments under Lieutenants Law
renee and Bigelow. Immediately af-
ter another large group of strikers
which had gone north and northwest
from the tent colony toward the ar
roya and the steel bridge, opened fire
on the military camp at Ludlow which
was southwest of the tent colony.
Before the firing started a large group
of women and children, numbering
about four hundred, left the tent

roya. There were about thirty shots
fired at the detachments of the Ma
tionaI Guard south and southeast Of
the cut on the Colorado & South

and Lawrence,before the order was
given to commence firing. General
Chase had been called on the long
distance by Lieutenant Benedict,
Major Hamrock's adjutant, from the
military headquarters at Ludlow,
notifying the General that firing had
started. Major Hammock, after re-
turning from the depot to the military
camp at Ludlow, took up position
near cars south of this camp on the
Colorado & Southeastern, from which
point he could see very well the po-
sitions being taken by his own men.

Acting Inspector william H. Good
Instituted q brand new department In

and won the gratitude OF four dis
couraged young women.
Just why they should have made
their way to police headquarters,
after many fruitless attempts TO OBJ

but they came-four OF them-thor'
oughly disheartened by repeated dis
appointments.

they said. I'VE have been up every
morning at 5 o'clock. and have has
tened downtown TO make the rounds

told that there was no work to be
had. Can't you do something for u.s.
Inspector Good. admiring their 7 err
severance and the resourcefulness
that took them to headquarters as q
last resort, decided that something
would have to be done.
He telephoned to q big department
store. and stated the case tn one OF
the managers. The latter was also
impressed by the grit Of the girls.
and said that he could use that sort
for clerks. They were all given posi-
