WELL continued the delegates. we
are delegates of a revolution, and if we
do not get what we want we have de-
cided to burn the city. Give us 1900
rubles-
The mayor and his colleagues
thought it was better to pay the 1900
rubles than have the city burned. SO
they raised the money, paid the dele

Using to be very good, and they were
good. But another crowd came and
said:

said that IL after fifteen minutes they
did not dispense he would order the
troops to fire. Five minutes went by.
and the Widow Linde. in red, climbed
iamppost and cried out encourage
ment and exhorted steadfastness for
the revolution. The soldiers began to
call out to the people TO go away. as If
they We're ordered to fire they must do
so. and they did not want to kill any
body.
"'Kill him! XIII him. screamed the
Widow Linde, pointing to the governor
Several revolver shots were fired
from the crowd, but no one was hit.
The governor, who waited to the end Of
the fifteen minutes. then gave the COM
mand to fire. and the Widow Linde,
shot through the body. fell to the
ground as Baron EuxuA, an eyewit-
ness told me. like a sparrow from a
