STRIPPED OF THEIR vAlUABlfs
THE BRIGANDs TAKE ALL THE
GOLD, U HAND BACK THE
SILVER.
ONE MAN foullY MURDERED
PUT TO DEATH IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE WOMEN AND OTHER
CAPTIvEs.

Kansas City, Oct. 1. - A detailed ac-
count Of the capture of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the missionary, by brigands in
Turkey. has been received in a letter
from Mrs. H. c. Haskell of Samokov, Bull
garia, to a relative here. Her letter says
Miss Stone had been holding her usual
summer school for Bible workers in
Bansko, Macedonia.
On Sept. 3, a party consisting of six
students from the collegiate institute OF
samokov, three or four Bulgarian teach
crs, Mr.. and Mrs. Tsilka. who had spent
several years in America. Mrs. Ooshera
and Miss Stone, started for Djumia,
twelve hours travel. From there they
were to go to their different homes.
At about 1870 that afternoon, as they
were resting in the mountains, Miss Stone
and Mrs. Tsilka being on horseback n
the rest on foot, they were surrounded by
thirty or forty armed men. They were
dressed in Turkish costume. but were
masked or blackened. They ordered the
party to march, and drove them up the
steep m~ountainside. Miss Stone told the
boys they were taking them away from
the road to
Rob n Perhaps XIII Them.
She did not speak Of capture. as it al
most unheard of for brigands to take
women.
After going an hours distance the
Drigands stopped and demanded their
money. They took what gold they had.
but returned the silver.
When this was done one of them said to
Miss stone: W wan you," and ordered
her and Mrs. Tsilka to go with them. She
made no remonstrance Mr.. Tsilka made
a TO- to follow his wife, but they forced
him back. A part of the brigands kept
watch on those that remained to keep
them from hurrying to inform the o
eminent. but next morning let them go.
The brigands murdered one of the men
Of the party before the eyes of the cap
tives to get his horse. They took his
animal, as well as the horses ridden by
Miss Stone n Mrs. Tsilka. The students
zane to Samokov and wired DR.. House at
6alonika. Miss Stones station. He Inn
mediately went to the American consul
and also telegraphed Consul General
Dickinson, who knew Miss Stone.
The news spread over Bulgaria like a
fash, for Miss Stone was widely known
and greatly beloved.

Duluth, Oct. 9. Duluth ~navigators are
puzzled. At 6 a. m. yesterday John
Roberg, a policeman, saw what he claims
was a large steamer burning on the lake.
She was about three miles from shore, he
says, and finally burned to the waters
edge and suddenly disappeared. Roberg
was at his home at the time, and the
members of his family and another family
living in the same house all claim to have
seen the spectacle. So far as learned they
are the only people in either Duluth or SUI
perior who did. but they are absolutely
positive. Marine men can make nothing
out of it, and are skeptical. No missing
boats have been reported yet.
