GAM RLERS ROBBED.
Wild Raid of Robbers at Gienwood
Springs

oPAuB~
Glenwood Springs. Colo. March 30
About 1870 yesterday morning three
masked men entered the Silver Club
saloon kept by Campbell & Connors and
began emptying six.shooters promis-
cuously about the room. DIR. Clark
was coming across the street and the
bandit took shot ut him. The doctor
took refuge behind telegraph pole.
and soon after, at the request of the
highwayman, proceeded down the
street. The other two robbers entered
the gambling room. and while their
companions guarded tho front en-
trance, compelled Jimmie Connors, the
faro dealer, to throw up his hands and
vacate the table.
Laying his six-shooter on the table,
the robber quickly placed the contents
of the money drawer In a sack carried
for that purpose. Policeman Fred
Gordon came up on the outside TO n
side window and was taking aim ut
the robber ut the drawer when his con-
fcderate dropped his gun on Gordon
and compelled him to fall back.
Gordon remained In the alley. how
ever, thinking the robbers would make
their exit by the side door, but as soon
MS they had baggcd the money they
went through the bar room. Joined
their pal In front of the building. and
the three proceeded up Grand avenue,
firing their guns promlscuously In the
air.

An American Corroboratss Stories of tho
Armenian Atrocities,

An American CorroborAtes Stories Of tho
Armenian Atrocities.
The Indianapolis News prints a pri
vate letter from an American who was
within three days ride Of the scene Of
the Armenian butchery. The paper
says editorially that the letter has the
merit Of coming direct from one who IL
acquainted with nll tho facts and one
whose reliability Is unquestioned. The
paper says 1t cannot reveal the name of
the writer, because II 1t did the Turk
tsh government would make life bur-
den for him. The letter says, In part:
There were 1000 troops as well as
regularly armed Kurds against Arme-
mans, who had only few rides and
old arms-a few in each village, as they
are strictly forbidden to have arms.
The firman was read and every one
was declared to be disloyal to the sui
tan and Islam, who spared neither man
nor woman nor child Of the Giaburs.
The carnage began. The Kurds were
pushed to the front, and the Armenians
fought for their lives, but 1t was sim
ply wholesale butchery. The Kurds
were Inclined to spare the women and
children, but the soldiers killed them
of. From the circumference of the re-
glon they worked In toward the center
as huntsmen surround their game, and
every village was n scene Of murder,
rapine and plumber This continued
for sixteen or twenty days, the most
brutal work being done on August 30,
the sultan's birthday, near Tadoorg,
where the Armenians had gathered to
make their last stand.
mo pleading for quarter, no protes.
tations Of innocence or plea for women
and children met with anything but
torture and death. Tho troops were
not withdrawn until the work was
thoroughly finished. Ninety miles Of q
prosperous region was converted into
desert, crops were destroyed and the
flocks and herds were divided among
the troops and the Kurds. Thirty-two-
some say forty-villages were destroy.
ed, md the victims numbered more
than 10000. The British consul, to
make his report believable, but the
number at 5000. Stories could be told
Of horrors that would tax the imagina'
ton. Tamerlane never did worse
things. The atrocities were simply aw.
full. One Turkish soldier who came
back to Bitlis wanted to know who
was 'Hesous Of Nazaret' upon whom
the women kept calling for help. and
he said: IF there is God In heaven
he will surely punish us for what has
been DONE"
