Taking Possession of Orliakon.
Bulgarian Ministers Have

London. July 6.-After 10 days fighting,
more severe than anything in the last Bal
kan war, little light begins to break
upon the obscure operations The Ser
VANS have lost mere men than in the
whole previous campaign. and semi-orfi-
oial statements from Belgrade have the
appearance of preparing the public for
iews of a disaster.
Desperate lighting with fiuctuating for
tunes is proceeding along the vardar and
. Bregalinitsa rivers, apparently to Bull
garia's advantage News has been re-
ceived of the Bulgarian invasion of Servia
through Belogradchyk. The Bulgarians
claim TO have defeeted the Servians and
captured FIVE guns and a quantity of other
war material and by IN occupation of
the passes, to have opened the road to
Nish. Servia's most important fortified
town.
There is heavy fighting between the
Servians and Bulgarians south of Istip,
and in the nefghborhood of Kotchana.
About so0,J0O men are engaged and The
losses on both sides appear heavy.
Bulgarias strategy appears to be to
comparatively small forces, while she
deals with Servia.
Unconfirmed reports credit the Bull
sarians with victories near koprili, giving
them the key to Uskup, and with an OUT
Ranking movement from the south Of
Iahynos lake, which would cut off the
Greek retreat. Saloniki ,lispa tches renort
that the Greeks have captured 16 guns
at Doiran. Evidence OF desperate fighting
is found in the arrival of 5000 wounded
at Salonili. A conservative estimate Of
the killed or disabled IN last weeks fight
ing is from 10000 to 10000. Thousands of
destitute refugees from he scene of the
hghting are pouring into Salonik. The
Greeks have made charges against the
Bugarians of burning and piilaging all
the villages they aoandon, and of corn
uniting murders, mutilations and other
horrors.

Immediately after, at their home near

Laughlin ascertained that a son and
daughter of the couple had seen the trag-
edy There was no doubt of how it oc-
cured and consequently no necessity for
an inquest.
Ethel Strong, small daughter, saw the
first shot fired by her father. AS the shot
VAS fired the wtsiian threw up nsr. lett
hand and the arm was almost shot away
at the wrist. The girl then ran out of the
house and no one saw the second shot.
She was afarid that her father would be-
gin shooting at her and made her escape
to Meridianville, where she gave the
alarm. A younger son. who is mentally
afflicted, went in the room just after his
mother had been killed and asked his
father If he was going to shoot anybody
else, and the reply was: "Yes, l am going
to kill myself The boy stated that his
father had Whitfield out a forked stick to
pull the trigger of the shotgun in CONF

and placing the muzzle of the gun over
his heart, touched the trigger with the
forked stick and fell over dead.
