armes and couple OF Cossacks. An
entrance to the empty cottage was
demanded, but no reply was given.

the door. On the moment he was
stretched dead by two shots from a
window and one of the gendarmes
was badly wounded. The police in

were called upon to surrender and

and defense then continued for eigh-
teen hours. and the improved fort
OF the five young revolutionaries was
surrendered only when their ammuni-
ton was spent. From the corner OF
