Paris, Aug. 30 The city of Drama, in northeastern Greece, has been seized by Bulgarians after a battle, with the Greek garrison, telegraphs the Athens correspondent of the Matin.
 The despatch says that the Rulgar- fans captured three forts and took prisoner the Greek garrison of 120 men and that number of soldiers were killed in the fighting.

SHOPHAND LOSES $1,000 SAVINGS
 TO BUNC0 TWAIN
Pair of Strangers Fleece Widower of Fruits of Sev-
 eral Years Foil.

Failing a victim to the suave man. ner of film Hammers, Joseph Boltruse- wtcz of 64 Summer street this morn- ing lost $1 ,000 in a new adaptation of the old handkerchief game. His saw ings of several years are gone and his bank account in the City Savings bank which this morning registered s1,o5S.s7 now is shy of the first two figures. fN
 Boltrusewicz informed the police shortly before noon that he is an en- ploye of the Bullard Machine Tool company, has been in this country twelve years and is the owner of a small farm on the outskirts of the city. As his wife died recently, he has the children stay on the farm in the care of relative while he boards at the Summer street address
 It wa on his return from the farm about 6:30 o'clock this morning that Boltrusewicz met with grief. He was at Broad street and South avenue when approached by a man apparently a Greek, dressed in a black suit. The latter told Boltrusewicz that hi,, brother had recently been killed in a railroad accident and he had been given $6.000 which he wanted some re- liable person to hold, as he was going to return to Europe.
 Boltrusewicz took him to his board ing house and showed him the bank book as an evidence that he could procure security but the stranger wanted to see the real money before he would allow anyone to hold the $6,000. Thereupon they both went to the bank where Boltrusewicz drew $1, 900.
 On the way back to the boarding house they met another stranger, ap- parently a Hungarian. Dfsliking Bol- ti'usewicz' manner of barking they produced a tin box with lock and key and suggested placing the $6,0O0 and $1,OO0 together in it. The box was locked and the first stranger handed 1t to the man they met on the street who ill turn gave it to Boltruwicz. They told him to put it in a larger box of which he was to keep the key while they held possession of the key to the smaller box.
 After agreeing to meet him in front of the post office at 10 o'clock, they left ostensibly to buy new suits of clothing and obtain information about passage to the old country. When they did not keep the appointment, Bol- trusewtcz became suspicious, and re- turning home pried open the box. It contained nothing but old newspa- per clippings.

The first legal phase of the situa- ton developed with the temporary in- junction issued by a local court in Nebraska restraining the conductors from calling or enforcing a strike on the Union Pacific. This brought up for the first time the effect of the much discussed Clayton ant-injunc- ton act passed by Congress at the behest of labor. The brotherhood lead- CTS unreservedly expressed the opin- lon that the injunction was in contra of the law and could not stand.
