Calcutta. Jan. 5.-The religious
riots between the Mohammedans and
Hindus have taken more serious turn,
again requiring the active interven-
ton of the British troops today at
Ttaghur who fired upon the Hindu
moa.
The Hindus had resumed the at
tacks of the two previous days on the
mosque at Tieghue, because the Mo-
hammedans had sacrificed cows. The
Hindus destroyed the sacred furniture
in the mosque and partially demolish-
ed the walls. The inflamed Moham-
medans gathered to the defense of
the mosque and were subsequently
surrounded by a military Gordon
which formed barrier between the
Mohammedans and Hindu rioters who
assaulted the military in an endeavor
to come to close quarters with the
Mohammedans. The troops fired up
on the zealots, killing and wounding
several of them.
