Up stood Mrs, J.

She said the threats of the militia began om Easter Sunday, April 19, when a number of members of the national guard of Colorado visited the baseball game near Lud- low Camp Colony and began to nnoy the players, “The militiamen threatened to shoot,” ghe testified. “Bome of the women present, who didn't realise the seriousness of the tion, told the militiamen that they could best them.’ ‘Mies Jally then told of the siege of the camp. She said the trouble be- gan bright and early Monday. It opened with the tiring of two bombs into the heart of the camp and the ignoring of a white flag carried by Louis Takas, the Greek leader of the striking miners. BULLETS FROM FOUR MACHINE GUNS FELL ALL AROUND. “Then the bullets from the machine guns began to find their way every- where,” said Miss Jally. “The wom- en set to work digging holes in the ground in which to bide their chil- dren. There were five hundred of the women, many of them about to be- come mothers; others with pursing babies and still others old and in- firm. There were also the five bun- dred men. “To detract the fre from the camp, ifes in all shows that it was not an armed as bas been reported. “The absence of the men made no difference to the militiamen with the machine guns. They kept up a steady fire right and left. It was safe no- where.

When the platform of timber dropped it struck the right side of the car where Mra. May was @eated. The side of the tonneau and the door were crushed.

The storm, which had all the pre- liminary aspects of a tornado, was the natural product of weather con- ditions which gave to New York at 2 o'clock this afternoon a tempera- ture of 92 degrees. It was the first time in thirty-four years that such an atmospheric record registered on May 27. Relief, although violent and attend- ed with considerable damage, came just in time. New York was begin- ning to wilt under the strain, From 10 o'clock on until the storm broke heat prostrations were continually reported from all over the city, Scores of cases were treated by ambulance surgeons, Horses were beginning to drop in the streets, and men employed in boiler rooma and other places where artificial heat was added to the caloric conditions pre- valling outside were keeling over at their posta, WENT UP AS HIGH As DEGREES, The thermometer records at the street level were much higher than those recorded at the Weather Bu- reau on the roof of the Whitehall Building, At 2 o'clock thermometers in Herald Square showed 100 degrees and similar conditions prevailed in other asphalted open spaces sur- rounded by skyscrapers, The sky became overcast at 2 o'clock. Cloud banks piling up in the west closed lazily over the city, working to the eastward against the wind, There was a quick change in the direction of the wind at 3.08 o'clock. It had been holding steadily trom the eastward since late in the morn- ing. Suddenly the flags on the sky- scraper towers which had been point- ing to the westward began to veer around. In just four minutes they were pointing due east and the storm that had been fighting its way in 100 from over Now Jersey came along on the wings of a gale. SKYSCRAPE! ALL HAD TO LIGHT UP, Downtown twilight conditions came with the change of the wind, The skyscrapers leaped out of the gloom outlined in light as the lamps in the offices were turned on. The black clouds ecurried off to the eastward, leaving a dull, greenish background, There was a continuous drop in the temperature, From 92 at 3 o'clock the record went down to 70 at 2,80.
