BRIGANDS CAUSED THEM
Attack of a Band Upon the
Gendarmes Led to Great
Slaughter.
ONSLAUGHT ENsUED.
One Thousand Troops Sacked Five
Villages and Rendered Thou
sands Homeless.

LONDON, ENG. Sept. 9.-The Daily News
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Kars stating that fresh outrages have been
perpetrated in the Erzinziian district. A
band of brigands attacked on August II a
company of Turkish gendarmes, killing a
sergeant. Therefore the Turkish authori-
ties, without making any inquiry, decided
that the assailants were Armenian revolu-
tionaries from Kemakh, who intended to
release exalted Armenians who are still in
prison at Kars.
a force of 1000 Turkish troops was sent
to Kemakh, and five villages were pill
LACED. Five thousand persons were rem
dered homeless. Men were tortured and
women and children assailed. Four mon
asteries were sacked. 1t is reported that
the Turkish officers have formed an anti
Christian society to slaughter Christians
if the Porte accepts the scheme of reforms
the powers insist upon.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Herant
M. Kiretcajian, general secretary of the
Armenian Association, has given out to
the press the following letter, containing a
direct communication from the valley of
Moosh, being an extract from private
letter Qate0 In August:
1.-THE remnant of the people from the
Sassoun region have returned to their vii
lagos. They are rebuilding the ruins, but
the Government is raising obstacles, so
that the rebuilding may be retarded The
Government has let loose the Bakrantsi
Kprds over the hills of Sassoun Our
people who have returned to their ruined
villages are in terror and dismay. Kurds
who are friendly with our village have
sent US word, saying, For the love
of God, arise and flee, that you
may save your lives. The Government has
brought the Bakrantsi Kurds for the pur-
pose of utterly DISCRIMINATING what is left
of your people, This has thrown the peo-
pie into great anguish. Last year they
had some arms to defend themselves.
This year they have no means of protec-
ton and are in utter extremity of misery.
We see no hope of assistance from God or
from man."
This helps to explain the meaning of a
dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph to
the effect that the horrors of the present
famine around the whole region of the
massacre are aggravated by the peasants
of portion OF the Sassoun district, who, not
having enough land to raise wheat, suffer
for their sustenance and were in the habit of
purchasing the remainder from Diarbekir
in exchange for fruit and other products
they could raise. But now, with hostile
Kurdish tribes, that were leaders of the
massacres of last year, infesting the coun-
try, the Armenians dare not venture out of
their villages for fear Of being attacked
The friends of the Armenian cause will
well appreciate the value and Importance
of speedy relief for peasantry without
homes or provisions and soon to be ex-
posed to the rigor of the snowstorms of a
long highland winter.

TO BE OPEN FIVE WEEKS.
The Mechanics Fair VIII Not Close on
Next SATURDAY..

Next Saturday.
1t is very probable that the Mechanics
Institute Fair will be continued week
longer than was at first intended. The
date for closing was set for the 14th inst.
and every arrangement was made for
following the programme. Within the past
few days large number of the exhibitors
have requested that the directors continue
the fair for another week, to close about
the 18th or 21st. They stated that the first
week was devoted principally to getting
their exhibits fixed up, which really leaves
but three weeks for displaying their goods.
The directors are seriously considering the
advlsabillty OF prolonging the fair.
The principal expense of putting the fair
on its feet has already been met, and to add
another week will not cost any more than
the regular running expenses for gas,
music and help. This will be something
under $1,000 for the week. If all the ex-
hlbltors make the same request, it will no
doubt be granted, but if any of the larger
exhibitors take out their exhibits, it will
spoil the general effect. The big circus and
the festival at Sacramento have drawn
heavily from the fair, which nevertheless
has been we'll patronized. Between the 14th
and the 2lst the outside attractions will be
gone and a still greater patronage of the
fair is expected. Considering all of these
points, 1t is more than likely that the fair
will run week longer.
There was mild sensation in the gal
lery last evening, caused by prolonged
howl emitted by long-whiskered gentle
man, evidently from the back country.
One of the exhibitors has attached an
electric wire to the iron hand rail that sur
rounds the booth. By pressing button
mild current is turned into the rail and
those who have their hands upon the
metal experience lively tingling in the
hands. The farmer had been standing
with his better-half watching the opera
tives for some time, and one of the latter
pressed the button. The farmer got his
first shock from electricity. He was more
surprised than boy getting his first
thrashing and he howled as loudly. Seiz-
ing the old lady by the shoulder, as soon
as he recovered his breath, he started away
at lively pace and remarked: Them
people ought to tell us when they are
a-going to drag barbed wire across their
fence by Electricity. Gee whiz! how it

large number of catfish from the Sac

RACES AT SACRAMENTO,
Iago Beat Zombro in the Fast
est Mile Heat of the
Year.
Our Lucky and DR., Puff Fought a
Draw In the 2:27 Class
Trot,

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 9.-Not.
withstanding the many counter attrac-
tons an immense crowd visited the track
to witness the racing to-day, the fair sex
predominating. The favorites had no
trouble in hauling off the first two events,
but the 2:27 trot furnished great contest.
1t being unfinished as darkness drew on.
The bright particular star of the day was
1ago, winner of the 2:14 trot. The Mon
tana- bred horse put in the first heat so
handily in 2:11 that the limit of his speed
is mere matter of conjecture. The con-
tending horse throughout this race was
Zombro, the crackajack three-year-old,
and although defeated he was not dis
graced, for he displayed phenomenal
speed, and himself trotted the mile in
2;l1A, performance.eclipsed by but few
OF his age. That clever reinsman
Tommy" Heating held the ribbons over
lago, and his work to-day is the fastest
mile reeled off in California this year.
The rfree-for-all trot for four-year- olds,
with hye starters, opened the days racing.

SANTA MONICA RACES.
AnnuaI Meeting of the Southern Cafifor.
mia Polo CIab.

ntG roo CtdOs
SANTA MONICA, CAL, Sept. 9.-The
first day of the annual race meeting of the
Southern California Polo Club drew a
large and fashionable audience to the race
track, which was surrouded by the equip
ages of the four hundred and four thou
sand. And it was hard to determine which
set enjoyed the fun most. The races were
excellent and the time fast, taking into
consideration that the track is slow one.
The first event, the Arcadia polo pony
race, half mile, had for starters w. III.
Young's Sheila, A. A. Alvord's Jack Pot
and G. L. Warnings Wonder. 1t was close
and exciting from start to finish, Jack Pot
winning, with wonder second Sheila third.
Time, :56L.
The Meramor handicap three-quarters
of mile, saw five horses at the starters
post, W. III. Young's Rita, P. D. Martens
Clara and Kittiwake and L. d. Loomis'
Chip. This, like the first race, was close
one, but the closeness was between Santa
Clara and Kittiwake, both of the Waring
stables, there being a good-natured de-
termination on the part of each jockeys to
down the other. Santa Clara won,
Kittiwake second, Lady Jane Grey third,
Rita fourth.
In the surf stakes, one mile, for horses,
there were three starters, Sleepy Charley,
Hello and Pavilion. Sleepy Charley was
the favorite in thepools, but he was not in
the race; Hello winning, with Pavilion
second and Sleepy Charley last. Time,
1907.
A half-mile sweepstake, open, was the
next race, i'll which Geronomo, Little Belle,
John Day Yin and Monkey were the
entries. Geronomo won, Little Belle sec.
ond, and John Day Tin third. Time, :57.
The meeting will close tomorrow. In
the evening the annual polo ball will be
given at the Casino, and the polo dinner
at Eckert & Hopfs' pavilion Wednesday
evening.

SHEFFIELD, Eng, Sept. 9.-Eight
thousand persons witnessed glove-fght
between George Corfeld OF this place and
Nunc Wallace of Birmingham. In the
opening rounds Wallace led, giving the
heavier punishment, but in the fifth an d
sixth rounds Corield improved, boxing in
scientific manner after which Wallace
used his right on Corfeld's body.
In the tenth round Corfield appeared to
be weak, but he seemed to be the better
boxer. He resisted Wallace's rushes, and
in the fifteenth round he felled Wallace
twice. Thenceforth the fighting was in
favor of Corfield, and in the eighteenth
round he knocked out the Birmingham
man with a terrific Highlander in the
neck
