ing has occurred at the village OF Kias-

to leave. The Tartars. whose name was
Machmond set fire to a-barn in re-
venge.
A crowd caught them in the act They
beat Mrs. Machmond till she was insen-
sible and then formed a gantlet down
the village street and forced Machmond
to run back and forth amid blows from
knouts. sticks, iron bars, and even
scythes and hatchets. Machmond show
ed remarkable vitality, and hours after
the affair began was still able to crawl
on his hands and knees. Finally, how
ever. he died from loss OF blood.
The police, who were finally sent to
stop the affair. found Machmond's body
n mass OF wounds. Both of his eyes
had been gouged out, his ears were gone,
and his tongue was split.

Dyer shows that the organization has
made rapid progress in the year. The
increase from nearly 100 new commands
