Shepherdstown, Belmont county, and
said be wanted to buy a Jersey cow, and
a bargain was made for such an animal

money with him, and borrowed s.. so
from the farmer to telegraph to Wheel
ing for the money. He went away,
ostensibly to do the telegraph
ing. but soon returned, saying
the money had not come,
and told the farmer il he would bring
the COW down to this city and take her
to w. d. Berger, NJ. D., No. lis Six
teenth street, he would be paid the fifty
dollars and also $3.50 for his trouble.
Before daylight yesterday morning the

"W. d. Berger, NJ. D." there, and then

Nothing could be done for the farmer,
under the circumstances, and he Is out

BosToS, Dec. 1S.-An American
Gentleman resident in ErZerourn.
Province of Sassour, Armenia, sends
letter to Il friend. in which he saws
that last spring the Armenians re.
sisted an attack of the Kurds. This
year Turkey sent regular soldiers to
put down the Armenians assisted bv
Kurdish Hamedich. The Armenians
were attacked in the mountains and
finally driven ont by hunger. A
score OF villages were obliterated and
q numb ber of young Armenians were
bound and covered with brush and
burned alive, while others were
-hot and bayoneted. A hundred
women were shut up in a church
and many outraged to death. and the
remainder slaughtered. The fate of
another lot of women is in doubt.
One story is that they were taken
into Moslem harems, and another.
that they were butchered. Children
were placed in line apparently
20 see how many could be killed with
one bullet. The inmates of the burn
ing house were driven back into the
ilame>. Estimates vary as to the
number massacred from 1000 to S.
900, some placing it at even twice
that number. The massacres oc-
cured in August and September by
soldiers under officers of high rank.
