MORE DISORDERS IN SPAIN
SOCIALISTS CLASH WITH GUARDS TWELVE DEAD IN THREE DAYS (Received June 14, 8.48 p.m.) MADRID, June 13. Three Civil Guards were passing the socialist headquarters in the village of Palenciana when the inmates rushed out and attacked them, dragging one named Manuel Jiminez into the building, where he was maltreated and finally decapitated. Other guards unavailingly attempted to force an entrance, exchanging shots and wounding several. Two were sent to hospital. Police reinforcements arrived and arrested 22, including the Mayor and Deputy-Mayor, but the assailant who actually beheaded Jiminez escaped. Two syndicalists were shot dead at Malaga during syndicalist and communist rioting. The socialists and communists have mostly returned to work, but the syndicalists are still idle and maintain a violent attitude.
Later the chief of police was shot dead and two children were accidentally shot. The death-roll m three days is 12. No newspapers have been issued for five days. Police convey the Gibraltar mails to La Linea in armoured cars. Four were killed in shooting affrays between fascists and communists at Burgos and Valladolid. A fascist and a communist were killed in a gun battle at Gumiel. Two were fatally knifed at Olmedo.
