Brigands still appear to maintoin

other day twenty-four of them armed

about o'clock in the afternoon. A
packhorse, laden with cartridges and
other munition, brought up the rear.
Before reaching Zaturoff. one of the
industrial villages within the Bakhu
naphtha region. the party met four
peasants, whom they interrogated as
TO the dwelling OF the richest man in
the settlement.
The first peasant refused to say
and was Immediately cut down. A
second, also declining, was stabbed.
The other two led the brigands TO
the house OF a benevolent and
wealthy compatriot, Hadshi-Hussein.
in the village OF Kobi Hadshi-
Hussein hesitated 10 state where has
money was kept, but a dagger
driven through the muscles of his
right arm and left there induced him
to lead the robbers 30 his safe.
Here they found 10000 rubles in
gold and paper money and 10000
rubles' worth OF valuables. Hadshi-
Hussein was afterward cut down and
decapitated. The housekeeper wore
gold earrings. the CLINT of which
attracted the attention of the
murderers In moment her ear
was slit from the side of her head.
She sprang to the door. but was
stabbed. Her cries had, however,
alarmed the villagers. who opened
fusillade on the robbers The
latter made a desperate sortie, re-
gained their horses and made good
their retreat, leaving four of their
number dead. All efforts have so
far failed to unearth this band from
their Businesses.
