Massacre Committed by Band of Ba-

shi-Bazouks at Smerdash, Turkey.
Monastir, European Turkey, June s.
Horrible details are arriving here
of the slaughter of the inhabitants of
the village of Smerdash, south of Lake
Presba, May 81, by Bashi-Bazouks. 1t
appears that on the arrival of the
Bashi-Bazouks, Chakalaroff's band Of
insurgents withdrew to the mountains
rebels were left in the village the in
habitants experienced no anxiety I'M
til suddenly, at sunset, the Turks, who
had completely surrounded the place,
commenced regular bombardment,
whereupon all the villagers assembled
in the streets. Though the artillery
ceased firing during part of the night,
Turkish infantry fired all night The
artillery bombardment was recon-
menced at daybreak, but it was inef-
fective. The Turks set fire to the vii
lage on all sides and commenced a
general massacre, slaughtering wo-
men, children and the aged. About
300 houses were burned and upwards
of 200 persons, mostly women and
children, were killed. The women
and girls were murdered while resist
ing outrage. Whole households were
slain. One family of seven were
slain and their bodies were heaped on
the hearth Not living soul was left
in the village. The survivors, many
of them half burned or otherwise in
jured, fed. Some of the fleeing vii
layers we're captured and their ears
butchered.
The report adds that fifteen hun
bred villagers were in the mountains
without clothing or food. One band of
these, consisting of forty women and
children, were caught by the soldiers
in ravine and were killed after hor-
rible treatment.

Waller Pipes Burst
Narrow Escape.

The fire department had an early
call this morning. Tt directed them
to the home of Sterling Poage on
Ouray aveune between Fourth and
Fifth streets. Some water pipes had
frozen during the night When fire
was started in the stove with which
they were connected these pipes burst.
The explosion made loud noise and
did some serious damage to the stove.
There was nothing for the fire boys to
do when they arrived at the scene of
the trouble.
Mr. Poage himself had very mar
row escape with his life. He was
standing right beside the stove at the
time of the explosion, Pieces of iron
shog in all directions. Something
struck him on the leg and the lid of
the coffee pot hit his arm. To illus.
trate the violence of the explosion.
one piece of iron struck the pantry
door. tore long piece of wood out of
it and carried this through the pantry
window into the ward. Two other
holes were made in the ceiling. The
dishes in the pantry were broken by
the terrific jar. Mr. Poage's proper
ty was damaged to the extent of $75.
1t will cost $50 to repair the house.

that officer Heath came upon them
and picked one of them off with his
pistol.
Several men who have heard of the
details Of this case say that there is
much ground for believing that the
three hold-ups in Salt Lake were the
ones who made things lively here q
week ago last Thursday night. 1t is
highly probable that they started
west from this city and in due time
arrived at the Utah capital where one
of them met his fate.
