BOLSHEVIKI
REIGN PASSES
OVER BIELEBEl

Biebebei, European Russia, Asso-
ciated Press Correspondence.-The
reign of the Bolsheviki passed over
the people of Bielebei like scourge.
The Bolsheviki occupied Bielebei for
several months.
The correspondent of the Associate q
Press visited the town within fort
night after their evacuation. The peo-
pie were just beginning to read1ust
their domestic and governmental at
fairs. Refugees were returning to
view the wreck of their homes. They
were veritable wrecks for the Bolshe-
Wiki had occupied all vacated houses
and had carried away or destroyed
most of their contents. An elderly
Judge of the district court, Professor
Paul Blumenthal. long a resident OF
the United States, who left upon ap-
proach OF the Bolsheviki. was so over
come with grief over the fate or his
native town that he wept.
Many persons had disappeared and
II was well known that many had
been murdered. The corpses of vic
Tins are being discovered. The cor
respondent followed a stream of men,
women and children which flowed out
across the fields toward the edge or
a scraggly wood. There under the
overhanging bank on the edge of a
gravel pit they were lying, a tangled
heap of bodies. apparently as they fell
or had been thrown, with no attempt
at burial.
The bodies were mostly those of
middle-aged or young workmen. From
each the boots and most of the outer
clothing had been removed. OF some
the skulls were crushed. OF others
the faces were disfigured as though
by gunshot at close range.
The crowd on the bank above the
gruesome pile appeared fascinated.
They silently made way for group
of Americans, including Consul EN-
bry, from Omsk, and two correspond
ents, and watched with interest while
they photographed the victims.
A nicely dressed woman and little
girl walked into the pit to get bet
ter look at the figure of a blond
young girl, which lay partly uncov-
cred close under the band
The body was perfectly preserved
by the cold and lay with arms bare
and crossed as though the girl might
have been sleeping. The face, which
was not disfigured. was that of an in
teIligent, pretty girl. Toward dusk
the body was removed by relatives
who had come from Ufa. She was
a high school girl from that town
who had been abducted by the Boil
shevik commissar when Ufa was
evacuated. Close by was the body OF
another woman.

taken over by a revolutionary COM

formed committee of investiga-

HOTEL LIFE.

In spite or the great number OF peo-
ple who spend vacations i'm cottages
and bungalows of their own, summer
hotels are being built all the time, and
many Of them OF great magnificence.
You may be far away from the haunts
of men and all provisions and supplies
may have TO be carried over the road,
but the. machinery of lavish living
follows even to the wilderness. Even
IN the wild scenes OF nature you find
your oriental rugs and plate glass
windows and mahogany furniture.
The thing seems exotic and. artificial
but it seems to take this kind az an
atmosphere or display to make some
people feel at home.
There are plenty of simpler resorts
for the quiet folks also. Every hotel
has its own type Of people. Some are
inexpensive and rough and plain, ap-
