REGULAR TROOPS TAKE CHARGE OF STRIKEDISTRIOT (Continued from Page One.) their services in any futuro conflict with the strikers who had brought about his death. The story of tho battle at Walsenburg Tyesterday as told today by an authorlta--'lle source of Information was sttrrln. yOne hundred soldiers divided In two Commands of about fifty each, fought for their very lives against more than 400 strikers entrenched In rifle pits be hind the lava formation of the hills, which forms a semi-circle around Walsen burg from north to south for a dlstanco of three miles. The militia had started to Athe Walsen mine at tho far end of the t ridge, to aid In the dence of that prop erty against further attacks by the striker.-' t Under Lieutenant Scott, nn I'd'! ment advanced under the menacing hills. Captain Swopo commanded the other, which followed a valley across an arroyo from the first detail and at considerable distance In the rear. The soldiers were armed only with their rifles and service revolvers and proceeded without thought of attack. - ! Suddenly, from the rifle pltts, came the spit of fire, and bullets sang over the hcadts of the first detachment. lieutenant Scott drew his men up In fighting line and ordered the flro returned. Soon he say that the attacking forces so greatly outnumbered his men, and that they had the advantage of the natural fortifica tion and he ordered his men Into the arroyo. Captain Snope hurried, to .reinforce the vanguard, his men running forward and firing as they ran. Watching ' for the enemy, heedless of whero they went, tho little detachment became entangled In a net of woven chicken wire, and for a moment were delayed In their forward dash. But soon the two commands Joined and fought fiercely for their liv.es, Among, tho 100 were most of the national guards best marksmen. They were icool under fire, nnd went about their w$rk in a business . Xjlke way. Gradually theft withdrew from 4Ua a wyrwm anil a A inU the arroyo ikitu au nil ced upon tho tenches.

The strikers were hard pressed. Tha excellency of the" mtlltla'i aim" was tell ing This news flashed Ito Horace M. Hawkins, attorney for tits United Mine AVcrkers, who It 'was 's'aljd advls'ed sur render. McGregor , repllcl that his men would not surrender, they fcare. another "Ludlow." Then Mr. Hawkins called upon Col onel Verdeckberg, In Walsenburg; 'o 1 " feae Mr. awl Mrt. VerAoo CwtU. teacher A 'WRI. a.m. acid (TMiMt axpoauiU of tha modeca di,, u. t. Virtor .xcU.iy.lr.l , - - .

It was said the union men agreed to deliver their arms to the soldiers pro vided they were not held prisoners. To this, It was sahl and Adjutant-General Chae In Denver so stated, Colonel Ver deckberg agraed. It was arranged that aevtn officers were to go forward to a snot' to receive the arms of the strikers as they filed past. Colonel Verdcckberg so Informed the flKbting militia and they ceased flrln?. The officers. It was stated, advanced a considerable distance and the belcagued strikers left their dangerous position, passed the mlllt a and then lenewed tiring. Major I.exter Killed. It wrs ut this moment, so tho account stated, that Major Lester was killed. During tho lull In battle he had gone forward to tho aid of Private Glen Miller, who had fallen ISO feet from the point at which tho strikers then were. The surgeon was bending over the fallen man. attempting to drag his body back to the nul.tla detachment. With tho first volley of renewed fighting Major Lester fell. So hot wus the fire that the militiamen were unable to advance to the point where Major Lester's body lay. and were fully occupied In defending themselves. That was at six o'clock last night. For two hours more tho fighting continued, and finally tho strikers wlthdrcwl carry ing' their guns with. them. And as. tho strikers withdrew from the Walsenburg field, they paused long enough to set flro to one more building at the McNallv mine, Adjutant Oenerat Chase and Mr. Hawkins and Governor Amnions In Den ver and McGiegOr at Walsenburg, all were connected on the- long distance tele phone. Then McGregor.' It was said agreed to call an hour truce an hour after It already had been granted by Colonel Verdeckberg with the under standing that the strikers surrender their arms. Colonel Verdeckberg was Informed of this agreement and again sought to have his men withdraw from the firing line. The order was given, but even .to retreat the militia was forced to fight as viciously as they. had been forced In the attack. Adjutant .General Chase today was chagrined over tho Walsenburg affair, lie felt that the militia had been tiapped into permitting the strikers to escape, after they virtually had been conquered by the militia, and to escape with their arms, even though the surrender of them had been promised Colonel Vardcckberg and him. Today at union headquarters It was de clared the terms of the truce at Walsen burg contemplated the surrender of the ftrikers' arms to the federal troops, not to the militia. What the loss to the strikers could only be guessed from the remark that It would be estimated anywhere from four to twelve. STIUKURS WILL .CO-OPEIlATn Sny Thcr Will Aid U. S. Troop to nestore Peace.

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Urglng It was high time for the senate to take steps to stop the "monstrous proposition of Colorado mines owners arming thugs to shoot' men. wpmen and children, like dogs In a kennel," Senator. Martlne of New Jersey today addressed the senate In favor of Immediate action on his bill to make It a criminal offense to employ armed guards. Senator Martlne Introduced the bill after the, Investigation Into the recent West Virginia coal strike at Paint and Cabin creeks. He said today to tho senate that "armed hrutes" employed as mine guards were responsible for the setting aside ot constitutional government In West Vir ginia and vm worse consequences in Colorado.

Col., April 30.-A re quest by John McGregor for a continu ance of the truce agreement reached last night to enable the. strikers to remove their dead from the surrounding hills and care for their wounded, was granted by the militia authorities shortly before noon today. McGregor and other strike lead ers refused to give out Information as to their losses tn yesterday's battle and none of the militia, or local authorities had ex plored the hills along the three miles ot battle front.

JLX U( iltZV vyillUIIU ii ni..j; r Operas "Faust" and "Romeo and Juliet" Composed hy Chnrles Francois CJon nod, Who Studied for Priest-' hood. Charles Francois Gounod, who wrote the grand operas "Faust" and "Romeo and Juliet," was educated for the priest hood and it Is vary likely that It was the Influence of 1 theological studies that moved him to write the words and music of "There Is a Green Hill "r Away." This famous song has been a regular old standby for church choir singers almost since the year ISM, when It was published. Gounod was born In Paris June 17, IMS, and almost all his life was spent In the city by the Peine. For many yoara he was the percentor and organist of the Missions Etrangeres and was the composer of a number ot masses and cantatas. That the French appreciated the great' composer Is shown by the fact that he was made a. member ot the lnstltut de France and was made a com mandor of the Legion of Honor. Gounod died In Paris October IT, 1S93.
