3 SHIPS ARESUNK
ITALIAN CRUISERS DESTROY
SEVEN GUNBoATS AND ARMED
YACHT OF ENEMY. 81
ENGAGEMENT IN RED SEA
Ottoman Forces Wipe Out Guard OF
$50 Italians on Land in
Engagement Near
HONS.

Rome, Italy.-A severe naval ac-
ton occurred Jan. Z in the Red sea-,
when seven Turkish gunboats and an
armed yacht were destroyed by Ital-
ian warships.
The division of Italian cruisers
which has been securing the coasts OF
the Red sea in search of Turkish war
vessels and ships conveying contra
band destined for the Turkish garri-
sons in the Yemen province in arabia
encountered the fiotilla Of Turkish
gunboats and at one opened fire. The
Turks replied, but their feeble anna
ment succumbed to the superior Weap-
ons of the Italian war vessels.
The action occurred Jan. 7 outside
the bay of Kunfda, a small walled
town with a garrison and two Iorts
about 500 miles north of Alden on the
east coast of the Red sea.
The Turkish vessels were those
which took refuge at Suez several
weeks ago. AS a result of protests
by Italy, the dispatch adds, the
Egyptian authorities disarmed the
vessels and the Turkish commander
subsequently obtained permission to
leave. While departing the fotilla
was overtaken by the Italian warships
and sunk.
No further news has reached here
concerning the battle, o is there
any confirmation of the statement
that the Turkish gunboats were not
armed.
Land Battle Reported.
Washington.-Earlier reports of the
victory of the Turkish forces over
the Italians in an engagement at
HONS, Tripolitana, Jan. 6, were con
hrmed in a dispatch resolved at the
Turkish embassy from the minister
of foreign affairs in ConStantinople.
According to the dispatch, the
Turks attacked an Italian regiment
which was attempting a sortie from
HONS and drove it back into the
town. The Italian real guard com
posed of $50 men was entirely annihil-
ated and so dead and quantities of
ammunition were left on the field.
The Turkish losses consisted of one
officer, two regulars and 10 volunteers
dead and 81 wounded.

Reuben o. Hoover, Colorado pi-
oneer and well known local express
man, who was stricken with apopleXy
last Monday morning while driving
down Main street, died at his home
at 1872 West Rood avenue, this
morning at O'Clock, having grad
ually grown weaker through the
last few days. His death was not a
surprise TO his family. as ii was

Stockton, Cal, arrived last night, just
in time to see his father alive. a
daughter, Mrs. J. VI. Price OF Denver

daughter. lives in Grand Junction.
The deceased had been a resident
of Colorado for , ) years, coming west
from Iowa to Glenwood Springs. He
was born in Eddyville. la, Sept. : .
lS45, and was just past 81 years of
age when he died. From Glenwood
Springs he moved to this city with his
family II years ago and since then
has been a prominent resident. He
was an eXpressman and teamster for

Der of years. 1t was while working

That was two years ago. The stroke
suffered Monday was the second.
Mr.. HOoyers first wife died in
1908, and all of his children were by
his former wife. He married again
in 1905 and leaves a widow. Mr..
