Then they began footing the houses for per sonal effects. Finally. one day they gathered all the men of Akh- Boolag into the two largest houses of the vil- lage and set them afire, with straw piled all over them to see that they burned. The women they took all in one great batch to the place where we were standing in Madjloom Djoor, and lining them up along the edge of the gravel bank, first picked out about 300 of the prettier ones. whom they sent back to the Turkish army, and then shot or bayonetted the rest.
