The mob seemed to be armed with
all kinds of guns. and had abundant
ammunition. because they kept shoot
ing, even after we had broken their
line and they were running over the

the mob. while Sheriff Duvau had not
more than about twenty men with him.
The tipple and the village of Clifton
Vile are in a hollow and the mine open
ing is on the hillside not far from the
top. The mob gathered in the brush at
fne top. and opened fire on the tipple.
AS soon as the shooting began we
started up the hill after them. and from
then until they had all disappeared
everybody was shooting his best.
so far as l know only one of our
men was killed. Irwin Mozingo, a spe-
cial deputy, who had joined father last
night when We were on the way to the
mine, was wounded. He was shot in the
face and pretty badly hurt.
