the country in gloom. II is believed
that Lineyitch is almost surrounded

Oyama's right wing is now resting on
the Mandarin road, is nearing Ningu-

that the Japanese were exhausted and
retreating and his ridicule of Oyama's

he is about to lead the army into

that the Japanese have advanced

ARMENIA DEVASTATED
BY Mosef Troops Who Perpetrated
Fearful Outraaes.

st. Petersburg, June 23.-The latest
details received from the Crivan dis
uict show that the Armenians in that
re gion are completely ruined; their
houses have been burned and their be-
longings and cattle carried off. Troops
have destroyed nearly all OF the
churches and schools. At Hadjivar the
altar in the village church was over
turned and the priest mutilated and
left to die in the ruins. At Yarimdji
the holy relics were stolen and after
ward found in vault.
At Badamlu 800 Christians and their
i, tests were forcibly converted to
Islamism and their church trans
formed into a mosque. At Djagrakh
the women inhabitants were outraged
before the eyes of their husbands, and
some 80 men were beheaded In the
presence of their wives and children.
The atrocities are said to be the re-
suit of agitation of certain leaders who
find excellent ground for a propaganda
of Islamism In the gross ignorance
and brutality of the local Tartar and
Russian population, and who enjoy the
secret protection and encouragement
of the provincial officials.

The fatal event in Columbus occurred
Two special officers of the b. G. o.

Columbus. One of them stated that
a burglar had entered the house of
Division Superintendent Johnson OF

stolen about $500 worth of clothing,
vines and cigars. The jewelry was

Castor was unable to assist them in

he gave the name of Reed instead of
Murray as his accomplice.

To EXTERM|NATE
WIFE AND CHILD
ATTEMPT OF SAMUEL n. DAWES
NEAR SALEM.
crazed by Jealousy He Committed
Suicide After Attempting the
Lives Of His Family.

Samuel r. Dawes. aged about 3S
years, and we'll known farmer resid-
ing on the Furman Howell farm about
three and half miles east of Salem,
on the Millville road, was found dead
In the barn at his farm about s o'clock
Thursday morning, having suicided
several hours before. The suicide is
attended by some sensational features,
principal of which Is the fact that
Dawes made an attempt about noon on
Wednesday to exterminate his family,
consisting of his wife and 7-year-old
daughter, and came near succeeding,
firing a bullet after Mrs. Dawes as she
fed from the home. From the reports
OF the affair, 1t seems that Dawes was
possessed of an ungovernable temper,
supplemented with a tinge of jealousy,
which had made his married life of ten
years very unsatisfactory one all
around. Recently his trouble with his
wife has resulted in several violent
outbreaks on his part, and these cul-
minated in an attempt on the life of
the wife and child about noon on
Wednesday.
Several months ago Dawes, who is
said to have compelled hiS wife to do
considerable drudgery about the farm
which was by all rights his own work,
got into difficulty with his wife over
the question of carrying water to the
house from their spring house, and
left the home for weeks, boarding at
a neighbors home.
Mrs. Dawes stated that it was her
opinion that her husband, fearing le-
gal action on her part and the attend
ing disgrace incident to public hear
ing on his conduct, suicided rather
than face the impending action.
