AT COAL MINE
Strikebreakers Reported Worsted
Arrival of Federal Troops Ends
Disorders-Strikers Willing te Give
Up Arms to Uncle Sam Mutiny
Among State Militia.
TRINIDAD, Colo., April 20. Thnt
seven strikebreakers nnd mine gunrds
nnd three strikers were slain in nrm
ed clashes at Forbes today wns re
ported in u-lviees received here thin
afternoon. If reports fmm WiNen
bnrg that eight strikebreakers wero
slain there nre true, it means that
eighteen iiersons met (tenth in tho
fighting in tin: Hoiithern Colorado
coal fields since morning.
Persons stationed on n hillside
nbove Forbes asserted that Iho bod
ies of three strikers could be plainly
seen, ami that they fell while nttnek
ing the strikebreaker.
The strikers were .said to hnvo cap
tured Forbes enmp, burned the tipple
nnd other buildings. Then they
abandoned iho camp. The mine
guards nnd strikebreakers fled.
The strikers xvere said to have al
lowed Snjterintendent George C. Al
berts nnd his wife and baby to leave
before attacking the enmp.
I'niou officials here declared they
had received no reports of alleged
fatalities, but said they had heard
that several Greeks were wounded in
today's fighting.
Federal Troop Arrive
Two troops of the twelfth United
States cavalry reached Canon City
nt noon nnd immediately detrained.
Thev will occupy the mines in Fre
mont county this afternoon, relieving
the state militia now on duty. Tho
regulars we.o not mounted and will
serve ns inf intry.
Reports of n mutinous feeling
nmong the militiamen were revived
today. It was said that numerous
militia officers had resigned their
commissions because Governor Am
nions had nsked for tho regulars,
thereby branding the state National
Guard ns incompetent.
Scattered shooting about the Wal
Renbunj hills wns reported at noon,
but details were lacking.
Te1eplioiiiu; to one of the union
leaders here, n. Wnlscnburg striker
snid:
Iteady to Surrender
"As soon ns tho regular soldiers
arrive we ure willing to surrender our
anus and ammunition. We will die,
however, before we turn them over
to mine guards nml state militiamen."
Union leaders denied today that the
fatalities were heavy as u lesult of
yesterday's fighting, So far ns was
known, only one striker was killed,
beside two miners slain bv militiamen
on tho streets of Walsenburg yester
day. The striker was Henry Floyd,
who left the MoXally eamp for Wat
senburg on n motorewle with a girl
pu the tear seat. A machine gnu
from the Wulseu mine scut out sev
eral volleys and Floyd was killed In
stantly. Tho gill wns not hurt.
