see the Jews submit passively to out
RACES, the inhabitants armed themselves
with stones and sticks and pursued the
Russians. In the fight which occurred

to death, killed three Russians with a
crowbar. Officials from Veila came to
the scene, and arrested this young man
and several other Jews, who will proba-
bly be sent to Siberia,
