ball on Monday night In the drill hal
OF the nrmory. Major e w. Bowles

is the only military organization In
the country which has been in con-
tinuai existence since 1889. It's history
dates back before the Revolution.
Orders have been issued by Major
Bowles for the battalion to partici-
patio in the lakewood Memorial Day
parade on Saturday. The Blues have
never before taken part In these exer-
cises. owing to the fact that the date
has always heretofore conhicted with
the celebration OF their anniversary.

between miners and deputies at Lud.

son is charged with the murder, Of
Nimmo, this case having been speficial-

as the leader Of the striking miners.
Court adjourned temporarily today
until Judge Hillyer is able to look up
authority concerning the relevancy Of
question put by the defense as to
Thad Sower, witness for the prosecu.
tion, being a fugitive from justice in
Wyoming. The state objected to the
question. Sower gave the third ac.
count of how Nimmo was killed. He
said the guard was shot while dodging
from pole to pole after the deputies
had ceased firing. Charles Tafoya, n
deputy, said Nimmo was shot while
facing the strikers in the battle. A
previous witness said he was shot in
the back while running away from the
strikers.
