the Red Cross could not save MIN.
We shall show that men, women

out food or drink except mine water,
and that one of these men was shot
through the lung while going to the

Six of these were boys of eighteen,
students of Colorado. Governor Am

gather up the camp equipment and

them the law against picketing was
tyranny, would not hold water In the
courts, and had by the weight OF their
opinion led them to contemplate law

While Drinking Beer They Thought
Of Blood.
The governor Of the state had been
denounced, and Mother" Jones had
denounced in numbers OF MEETINGS
"The Tin Soldiers" of the state. In
full blast near Aguilar was rhe
Goth of July Saloon" which Is slgni-
ficant as illustrating the temper OF
much of the foreign element. The
saloon was SO named because on July
29th. King Humbert of Italy was as
assassinated by a fellow-citizen OF the
owner of the saloon. To kill those
who are the heads of the state is the
hope of anarchy. Men could SIT IN
that saloon, drink beer and think o.
blood. Three times Lieutenant Ray
Benedict, with detail OF troops
pulled down the red flags of anarchy
on that saloon. The picture we pre-
sent in this article shows the nags IN
position, just before the last Gine
they were pulled down. That saloon
is now closed by federal orders. Is

right of assembly under any and all
circumstances. That they had been
allowed to assemble to denounce the
governor and the courts on the very
capitoI steps did not strike them as
being a concession and an act or un-
usuaI tolerance. The villainous press
of Denver played the meeting up
strong.
When the troops arrived in the DIS

the strikers encouraged by thelr
leaders had the hypocritical grace TO
welcome them. They were afraid OF
