and the Cologne- Yolks Zeitung. The
number killed is not definitely stated, but

seventy to one hundred, with a large Ivan -
bier so severely injured that they have since
died of their injuries, or have been maimed
for life. Various versions of the affair have
been given, but each has been officially
denied, by the gasman Government.
Following is the true story, according to
the Yolks &Hang, in its issue to -day :
The Catholicat Krothhe took turns to

the massacre, in order to prevent a surprise
by the Russian Cossacks, who 'were expect.

upon the Roman Catholic inhabitants of
the town, Despite this precaution they
were surprised, at 2 o'cloesc in the morning
of Nov. 10, by the Prefect of Klingenberg,
who arrived from Kovno, accompanied by
forty armed Cossack policemen. This party
entered the ‚church in which aboub seventy
Catholics were gathered, and, cursing and
yelling, rushed upon the worshipers,
knouting them and striking them with
their swords until the church resounded
with the screams of the wounded.
Some of the Catholics fled, to the belfry,
where they rang the bell and brought the
rest of the inhabitants to the spot. The
prefect and his deputy retreated to the or•e
gen loft, from which place they opened fire
upon -the people in the church until the
Cossacks escaped. The prefect and his
deputy were overpowered, and eventually
confined in a cell in a neighboring convean

wasenade to carry out the monstrance, a

the people.,
The Cossecks rode over the people right"

been so panic-stricken that they committed
suicide by jumping into the swollen river.
The rest of the unfortunate inhabitants
were surrounded by the Cossacks, who,

the marketplace in front ofethe town hall.
When this round -up of the 'inhabitants

to be' punished by being flogged with the

The victims then had their clothes torn,

submarine plateau and the flat laud of
Western Alaska were covered by a elm allow
