"NATIONALIST TROOPS ENTER LERIDA. -- Lerida, 'key' town to Barcelona fell to the Nationalists after a terrific bombardment. The Nationalists are now able to command the electric power supply of Barcelona as the power lines run through Lerida. Wide World Photo shows a "cleaning up" party of Nationalist troops, engaged in a "miniature" battle in a Lerida street, as the Nationalist troops entered in the city. Wounded men can be seen in the roadway, while on the right is a soldier actually falling after being wounded."
