day between Czenstochowa and Herby

Lively firing ensued, during which two
gendarmes, four soldiers and two civil
employees were killed and others Of
the guards were wounded. The at
lacking party carried off $4,000 and

The countryside is said to be in a
ferment and sympathizing with the
guerrilla bands. The small force of
troops operating in the district will
be reinforced.
Agitators are making capital over
the recent incidents. They affirm that
it will be difficult for the provincial
administration to detach enough
troops from the cities and towns to
make the net large enough to catch
the marauders.
Others Killed.
Besides Gems. Zukat and Weiten-
ring the revolutionists shot and killed
the cashier Of the custom house at
Herby, who was in charge of the
money, and who was in the same car
as the generals. They also wounded
a colonel, the conductor and some
civilian passengers, in addition to those
already mentioned. Another account
says that it was the assistant cash
Ter of the custom house at Herby, M.
Demienco, who was killed, and not
the cashier.
Col. Brzezicki and other passengers
were compelled to give up all their
personal cash.
The robbery occurred near the Ger
man frontier.

Later details say that the attack
ing party consisted of ten revolution

Gen. Zukat, chief of the frontier
guard, and Gen. Weitenring, chief of

guards who were wounded sustained
