YANKS IN SIBERIA
AVENGED MURDER,
Staying DOLSRENk|

San francisco, Dec. 22.-Lieut. ].
Walter Reising, S9th Infantry, whose
home is in Portland, Ore, is in his ma
tive land again, bringing from Siberia
tale of knighthood and chivalry as
one might read of days of old.
\ An American detachment avenged
the murder of Russian woman, Ma
lrie," who was sort of mother to the
company. A hand-to-hand encounter
with the murderers in which it was the
privilege of Reising, as leader of the
men to kill the leader of the Reds, was
the eliminating feature of the battle.
Marie" lived in the village of Zoo
clutch. She was teacher of poor
children, speaking English. A sort of
helping officers and doughboys when
ever called upon. One officer fell in
love with her.
A Cossack captain named Nemikon
loved her also. He became incanely
jealous of the American. One night,
with 81 Russian bolshevik Cossacks,
Nemikoff entered "Marie's" home and
murdered her.
The Americans swore to avenge her
death. Reising led a force of 80 men
into the mountains after the murderes
They marched across deserts and over
and came upon ISemlkoII
band after week. They met at 6
o'clock in the evening.
A hand-to-h hand battle followed.
Bayonets were drawn on the American
side. The Russians fired and drew
knives. Nemikoff went Off Reising. In
his hand he held long knife. With
his other he fired. The bullet passed
between Reising and his sergeant. Rel
sing returned the fire and Nemikoff
dropped
AS souvenir of the fight, Reising
has brought home the knife with
which Nemikoff threatened him-and
probably the same knife which slashed
the breast of Marie"
Only two of the Russians escaped.
Twenty-nine of the Cossacks were kill
