FATAL FRAY IN SPAIN.
CIVIL GUARD AND PEASANTS. MADRID, May 31. In a battle between Civil Guards and Reds at Yeste, in the Albacete province, 22 peasants and one Civil Guard were killed and 50 combatants were wounded. Two of the Guards are expected to die. Tlio clash was due to seizure by peasants of the property of a landowner, Senor Edmundo Alfaro, a former member of the Cortes. They uprooted 60 pine trees and began to cultivate the land. Police arrested 14 peasants and were escorting them to the provincial capital when fellow-villagers armed with firearms and farming implements attempted to rescue them. The disturbance has not been quelled yet. Storm Guards and a Red Cross ambulance have been dispatched to Yeste.
