BOLIVIAN GUERRILLAS ENGAGE IN SKIRMISH WITH ARMY

A group of guerrilla fighters tried to take over the village of Mojocoya in order to replenish their supply of food, Agence France-Presse reported October 25. Mojocoya is about 65 miles from La Higuera where Che Guevara was captured and murdered.

The Bolivian army command claimed that the guerrilla fighters were driven off. Two soldiers were wounded. Apparent— ly the guerrillas suffered no casualties in the encounter.

Immediately after Guevara's death, the top army command claimed that only six guerrillas were left in the country. The claim was obviously a false one.
