Trinidad, Colo, April 21.-Thirteen
persons, including eleven strikers
one soldier and one noncombatant, are
dead and scores wounded as the re-
suit of fourteen-hour battle between
members of the Colorado national
guard and striking coal miners in the
hills surrounding Ludlow. The bat

Louis Tikes. leader of the Greek
strikers, and the destruction Of the
Ludlow tent colony by fire.
Union men declared the fighting
was the result of an attack on the
Ludlow colony by troops. Reports
from military authorities were that
the first shots came from the hills
above Cedar Hill and that the real
fighting began when Lieutenant Lind
sderfelt's detachment was sent to In
yestigate. The soldiers were divid
led into two detachments, one com
manded by Lieutenant Linderfelt and
the other by Lieutenant Lawrence.
] The Ludlow colony is in isolation
Tents are burning and dead and
wounded are strewn about the hills
A machine gun brought by reinforce
ments was stationed near the Ludlow
colony and in a short time the camp
was devastated, strikers fleeing to
the hills for safety.
The military force totaled about 100
men, while the strikers were said to
number 400. mostly in the hills at the
foot of Hastings and Berwind canons
and along the Colorado and South
eastern tracks. An effort to send re
cruits from Trinidad was delayed by
the refusal Of the train crew to take
Out the train. The master mechanic
superintendent and dispatcher finally

Cattle Disease Has Reached Marylar d

The foot and mouth disease, a cat-
tie plague which has caused the Fed
eral Government to establish a quar-
antine in several of the middle West
ern States and also Pennsylvania, has
spread to Maryland, it was announced
by Secretary Melville of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board.
Reports reached the Board that
there were 30 cases on nine farms in
Washington county, near Hagerstown.
On these nine farms there are in all
1T head of cattle. The farmers who
have the infected cattle bought them
in Chicago, being what is known as
stock cattle, that is cattle bought for
fattening purposes. Chicago has been
found to be in the center from which
the disease has been spread to other
States.
DR.. Lawrence Hickman, chief veter-
marian for the Live Stock Board, ac-
companied by veterinarian from the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture, went to Washington county to
make an inspection of the infected
herds and decide what shall be done to
prevent the disease spreading further
in this State.
Under the quarantine established by
the Federal Government no live cattle
can now be shipped from Chicago, this
being move in the effort to stamp
out the plague. Cattle infected with
this disease, which is said not to be
fatal in itself, do not recover but have
to be killed as means of preventing
its spread.
