VALLEYS OF ATASCADERO
ECHO TO CANNON'S ROAR
Contending Armies Engage in
Spectacular Operations
CAMP ATASCADERO, Sept. 23.—A
battle in which a blue force under Col.
Charles St.J. Chubb, convoying an
ammunition train of fifty wagons
through Devil's Gorge in the moun
tains to the west, hold its position
against a much larger red army under
.Col. Charles W. Mason, until the train
had passed through the gorge and es
caped, but in which the blues lost
half their men and had their four field
guns captured, and a tremendously
realistic demonstration of war in its
grim earnestness by a rain of burst
ing shrapnel from three batteries of
artillery, kept the mountains and val
leys of Atascadero echoing and re
echoing from early morning today un
til sundown with the din of battle.
Rolling Infantry fire, sputtering of
machine guns, the rushing of a trench,
a charge by the cavalry, the creaking
and rattling of a mile long mill.- train,
the dramatic capture of a battery and
lati r in the day the salvos of shrapnel,
made the day's operations the most
spectacular of any that have taken
place during the army manuevers.
