PRINCE BEATEN AND KILLED.
Riotin9 Laborers Maltreat Henry oil
Prussia and Put Him in Jail.

Berlin, July H. An almost incredible
story OF the ill-treatment of the former
German Emperor's brother, Prince Henry
of Prussia, by riotous gang of field
lsborcrs is told by the Ostpruessisch
Zcitung, which asserts that it had the
information direct from Prince Henry $
family circle.
According to the informant, some
time ago a gang of sixty men, led by n
private in hussars uniform and wearing
a big red rosettc, invaded the Hemmel-
mark estate, Prince Henry's Schleswig-
Holstein country seat on the preteSt
of searching for hidden arms. The In
vaders turned the place inside out, but
found no arms.
Then the leader said to the Prince,
Come. Henry, whereupon Prince Henry
was made TO run the gauntlet, suffering
innumerable kicks and blows. After
ward he was locked up in a iail at Bcrkcns-
ferde, where he was tortured nightly.
He YVES awakened every ten minutes,
with "Gct up, Henry, turn on the light.
Lie down, Henry" amid jcers and in
suits from his captors.
Many other Schleswig- -Holstein land
owners have been the victims of assault
and ill-trcatment by armed gangs.
