When it got too hot to stand it any longer
Champion stuffed the note in his pocket grabbed
his rifle and siX-shooter and made break

He got about hundred feet before couple bullets

ranch houses were in protected spot on Crazy
Woman Creek good place to make a stand
The men made dash for the ranch and started
throwing up log breastworks.
BY the time the settlers army hove into sight
there were three or four hundred in their
ranks. About everybody in Johnson County had
dropped his pillow and grabbed his rifle
The first night they dug rifle pits all around the
ranch houses. The next morning the battle of the
T. A. Ranch was on, four hundred settlers against
sixty trapped Invaders" as some called them.
The scrap went on for two days, but nobody was
killed The attackers were well protected and kept
under cover. Their bullets couldn't get through
the log walls of the ranch houses, either. The set

of the toughest fighters in the
bunch were behind the moving
barricade. Black powder bombs
had been made overnight. Men
were at their posts in the rifle

The rolling fort was just
starting to move toward the

The invaders surrendered to
Colonel Van Horn, in charge of
the troops, but not until they got
a promise they wouldn't be
turned over to the civil authori-
ties.
That ended the Johnson
County War, but the squabble
dragged through the courts for
a long time after that. The in

When he stepped out of the door dozen guns

Champion out, his forty-four pouring lead
into the ambush, grabbed Rays arm and dragged
him inside. Bullets were blowing all around them
but they made it to cover
Ray didn't last long. Champion loaded all the
guns in the place and got ready to stand off the
siege single-handed.
All morning the raiders kept up steady fire
Bullets from their hgh-powered rifles ripped
through the cabin walls from every side Somehow
Champion kept out of their range and managed to
get in a few shots in return, winging a couple of
the attackers.
About the middle of the afternoon a fellow
named Jack Flagg and his rode through the
ranch. They stumbled into the trap, not knowing
what was up. knew Jack well.
The gun-fghters opened up on them. They
didn't want anybody to get away and spread an
alarm. They hoped to catch the Johnson County
settlers off guard

with powder. Arapahoe Brown, one of the leaders,
got an idea.
"Only way to smoke them - out is to make
a rollin' fort" he said
So the settlers got busy making one They took
the running gear of wagon, built wide frame
work for it, and braced the front of the contrap-

When they got the rolling fort finished it was
a barrcade six feet high, with portfolios cut in it,

Confesses
81 Union
Murder

SAN FRANCISCO, July q
uNS).-James A. Boyd, a tran
silent and self-styled "b oozt
fighter" stuck to his story at the
San Francisco Jail today that in
1887 he murdered Norman Red
wood, New York sandhog union
official. for $4,000.
Redwood. official of tunnel
and subway builders union. was
slain by a volley of bullets as he
drove to his Teaneck, N. j..
home a few hours after his union
had called a strike on a New York
construction job.
Samuel Rosoff, millionaire sub.
way builder was arrested as ma.
terial witness, but was released.
Boyd. arrested by San Francisco
police on a drunk charge, told
homicide officers he came west
after the murder.
He insisted that he had been
paid $1,000 TO kill Redwood, and,
according to homicide officers, in
how he was hired
gave names and cited circum-
stances strikingly parallel to the
now in the hands Of
New Jersey police.

haps he did the MURDER" said
II omicide Inspector Frank
Ahern. "We have wired New
Jersey authorities for all de-
tails"
