200 Turks Cut to Pieces in Terrific Battle

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 14.-The Mace
DOMAIN leader. Commander Boris Sa-
raft, has wreaked a terrible revenge Oh
the Turks for the recent massacres
that have marked the advance of the
tropos OF the sultan. In a battle in
which Turks and insurgents fought
man to man SEQ Turks were cut to
pieces. No quarter was shown on
either side.
The battle, which occurred in the
district of Dlbra, was One.of the bloOl-
lest conflicts of the instruction. 1t
began when three bands of insurgents
met 600 Turks and engaged them. The
who were far inferior in
lost twenty-five men and
were beaten back, the Turks pursuing
them and shouting:
mo quaI ter! Stay ALL"

for a long time unable to dispense the
mob.
Finally n determined charge by Ian
GERS restored temporary quiet After
dark the rioters tore up sewer grating
and paving and stretched wire across
the streets. Women brought piles of
empty bottles for use as missiles while
boys swarmed up on lamppOsts and ex-
tinguished the gas jets. In spite of
the efforts of soldiers the rioters then
sacked the houses, dragging out furnl-
ture, satuTaung it with petroleum AMI
set fire to it in the streets. Two
houses and one factory belonging to
the strikers employers were set on
fire and it was necessary to summon
the firemen from Lille beTOre the con
fiagration was controlled. By mid
night the troops and police had dis,
persed the mob.

The Turks had chased the fleeing in
surgents less than a mile, when Sera
fOff appeared with reinforcements OF
600 men. He checked the fleeing in
surgents and reformed them. Then
the complexion OF battle changed.
The Turks fought ike demons, but
they were Outnumbered. The insur-
gents fairly hewed their way through
the Turkish ranks. They went at
their foes with a fury they could not
Withstand. and still the Turks fought
until their numbers had been reduced
to a score, when, obeying an instincl
to save their lives, they turned and
fed.
Many of them were cut down as they
ran, and it is estimated that the insur-
gents killed more than SEQ of the foe.
None was taken prisoner. Only about
40 escaped.

Madison, Oct IA.
A business failure for more than
one third of a million dollars, affecting
industries in four cities of Wisconsin,
was given publicity yesterday morn
ing when Judge Romance Bum OF the
United States District court named
Albert Hand and Andrew Dietrich OF
Racine, and Attorney Ralph w. Jack
man of Madison as receivers for the
property of the Racine Knitting COM
pany in the western district of Wis
consin. The petition for the appoint
ment of the receivers was made by
Attorneys Lamb, Richmond, Lamb 4
Jackman on behalf of New York and
Boston creditors. Similar proceedings
were simultaneously had in the
United States court of the eastern
district of Wisconsin, where the knit
ing company also owns property.
IL is estimated that the liabilities ot
the company will reach S350,000, while
the assets, consisting OF plants at
Beloit and Stevens Point in the west
cen district and at Racine and Ripon
in the eastern district, will not exceed
$500 One of the receivers stated
yesterday that he doubted if creditors
would receive more than 20 cents on
the dollar.
b. b. Blake of Racine is president OF
the company and his son Albert
Blake is treasurer and general man
ager. They are also heavy, if not the
heaviest, stockholders. 1t was learned
however, that numerous shares were
sold throughout the country and that
many persons are financially inter
ested in the company.
The next move in the winding up OF
the company's affairs will probably be
a meeting of creditors and appropriate
proceedings in bankruptcy. The valu-
able plants in the several cities may
be bought in by creditors and a reor-
ganization is said to be mole than
likely. In the meantime the receivers
will continue to run the several plants.

Armentieres, North France, Oct. A.
This town was yesterday given up to
riot, pillage AMI lncendairism as
of the weavers' strike.
At noon the strikers, not receiving
answers TO their demands. broke out
into the widest excuses. A mob of
5000 spread through the principal
streets, breaking the windows Of
stores, dragging out huge display rolls
of linen which they stretched across
the streets with the object of imped-
ing the advance of cavalry.
They wrecked shops, sacked the
houses OF persons obnoxious to the
and attacked banks, in two
of which they succeeded in stealing
$1OO. One gang set fire to a large
quantity of linen in the cellars of one
factory, others broke the windows OF
houses and threw inside burning straw.

NARROWLY
ESCAPES
LYNCHING

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Arthur Warren, a
young man living in a suburb of
Berwyn, II miles from the city, had a
narrow escape from lynching last
night and but for the efforts of two
policemen it is possible he would
have been hung to a telegraph pole.
Warren was accused of assaulting an
eight-year-old girl. Acts of this kind
have occurred several times in
Berwyn whiting a fortnight and the
crowd that pursued Warren was high
ly exasperated. He led it a chase of
about a mile before he was caught,
and on the run the excitement of the
crowd increased. When Warren was
captured he was handled very rough
ly and the proposition to lynch him
met with approval. Two policemen,
however, managed to get him away
from the crowd, dragged him into a
store and barred the windows until a
patrol arrived.
Warren, who was a badly used up
man and required surgical attendance,
was finally placed in a cell, although
the crowd followed him all the way.
