Under the church a well.
In the well the bodies of nifty
citizens of Leskovatz were found
drowned. -
Their arms and legs had been
tied and they had been thrown in
to the water by the Bulgarians
when they swept over Serbia, q citi-
zen of the town of Leskovatz told
me.
He also said that a good many
of the leading citizens of Lesko-
vatz, priests, school teachers and
such. had been deported-as those
left behind understood--into Bull
garia. But that just lately they
had been finding in the foothills
of the mountains over which the
road went, graves in which thirty.
forty and fifty OF these citizens had
been buried. after having been tor
tured and killed.
Factory Destroyed.
In Leskovatz before the war stood
one of the few large factories In
Serbia.
1t had been making woolen cloth for
army uniforms and also linen cloth.
The buildings had been filled with
expensive machinery imported from
Austria and Germany.
When the Bulgarians came they put
up the machinery at auction to enter
prising citizens of Bulgaria, and many
of the machines carry tags or are
! chalk-marked with the names of the
successful bidders.
They had not been able to trans
port all OF the machines before the
serbians came back, though a great
many had been moved. but all those
which could not be removed had been
cieveriy damaged, almost beyond pos
sibility of repair.
All the engines. all the various ma
chimes for the manifold operations
required in the manufacture of cloths,
had been damaged at some vital spot.
