student at Notre Dame university,
Thursday night shot and almost in
stantly killed Claude A. Bsgby Of Dur

Watch Dog Saves Family From

Watch Dog Saves . Family From
Perishing in the Flames.
The Atlanta Journal says a family
watch dog savsd F. A. Blackledge, his
wife and two little children from be-
ing burned to death in fire Tuesday
night which entirely destroyed their
residence at Plant avenue, and con-
sumed their household effects and
clothing. The family WAS asleep when
the flames broke out.
The dog which was tied on the back
porch began bowling and scratching at
the back door when be saw the fimes.
Mrs. Blacklsdge who heard the dogs
strange noise, went out to see what
was the matter when she found the
house In ,fAmes. She Immediately
gave the alarm and other members of
the family fed from the house IN
their night clothes.
Just as the mem bers Of family left
the house, the flames burned the rope
which tied the dog on the back porch.
The dog then dashed into the house
barking at the top OF his voics, as II
he wished to awaken any one OF the
family who might st II be in danger.
The dog sprang out OF the burning
house just as the roof 1ell in, and has
not been seen since.
The house is boyond the city Ire
protection districts, and the building
was In flames before the fimily knew
anything of the danger. If it had not
been for the warning OF the Dig, there
would have been little chance Of es-
cape.
The burning of the house has left the
family destitute Of any funds and
clothing, and the members would have
suff .red for clothing II it nad not been
for the generosity Of neighborS. Black
ledge ha, secured temporary home
for himself and family az 73O South
Boulevard, but unless the family can
secure some assistance they will be IN
need of neceSsarieS.
The home Of Joe Flynn, on Pliaul
avenue, was also badly damaged bJ
the flames, but most OF the furnishings
were removed.

There are no signs yet that the end
Of civil war IL Moscow Is in sight.
RsvoluUionists are surprising the su.
tnoriries bY the determination which
they have constantly shown since ths
fighting began. A host Of savage
passions have been shown, not only by
Cossacks, but bY revolutionists as
well, especially by women who are
fighting In the ranks Of revolutionists
who have shown the greatest cour-
age.
The number Of casualties among
the rebels has been decreased owing
to changetn thsir tactics OF fight
ing from houses instead Of from barri-
cades. The CASUALTIES now number
about 200 q day, while twenty. seven
houses iS the record destroyed by ar.

Two ni the chief leaders Of the Mos.
COW ,evolt have been arrested. The
police discovered that general upris.
ing and revolt had been planned to
take place at ST. Petersburg in sup
port OF the Moscow insurgents. Fol-
lowing the discovery many arrests
were made and the movement in St.
Petersburg has been checked tempo
rarily.

instance Of brutality on part of the
Cossacks In the village Of Uporori. a
Cosssck off Ger demanded that peas
ants should pay $50 roubles for a
horse which had been killed accident
ally, The peasants replied that they
were too poor and could not pay the
amount asked. The officer then or
dered Cossacks to fire on peasants,
despite the appeal of victims on their
knees that they be spared. C0ssacks
mutilated men and outsaged the wo.
men and practically destroyed the
entire village. Many of the victims
were thrown into wells by Cossacks.
The total casualties numbered twenty
eight killed and over q hundred
wounded.
Advices from Moscow say the sltua-
tion is grsver than ever. Hostilities
have spread to neighboriug districts
