Warsaw, Sept. 12.— With the sanc­
tion of the authorities, who provided
an aimed guard (or the mission, the
Associated Press correspondent visited
Siedlcs, the scene of the murderous
events of September 8. 9 and 10.
The
railroad station at Siedlcs, when the
correspondent arrived, was crowded
with Jews, among whom were many
starving women with infants in their
arms.
Almost on the moment there fell
upon the frightened people the sound
of a volley being fired in town, which
lies half a mile back of the station. A
panic ensued, men trembling with fear
and women imploring the soldiers for
mercy, anticipating the slaughter of
their loved ones
and
themselves.
Gendarmes on guard at the station en­
tered the waiting room and roughly or­
dered the people to be quiet, assuring
them that their alarm was needless.
Proceeding to the town, the corre­
spondent traversed Warsaw
street,
which presented a desolate aspect, the
stores and shops being closed and all of
them showing signs of having been
plundered. Pictures of saints were
banging outside the windows of many
bouses, mute appeals to the soldiery
and looters to spare the inmates.
Everwyhere in the Btreet were to be
seen soldiers ready to fire on the least
provocation.
The streets were littered
with Jews’ bats, torn clothing and
damaged carte.
The most severe damage had been
done in Pienka street, where the houses
were riddled with bullets and in maDy
instances walls had been demolished
with cannon shot.
By actual count 140. corpses were
picked up in the streets snd it is stated
that as many more bodies are hidden
in cellars.
Only one Christian is
known to have been killed, and, so far
as learned, no soldiers were killed.
Trainloads of fugetives are leaving
Siedhe for the south.
A Jewish child who begged permis­
sion of a military officer to search for
hie parents was kicked away by the
officer.
The undisciplined soldiery
acted with the utmost brutality all
through the trouble.
Here in Warsaw there are some tears
of an outbreak.

Angoras to Washington,
Independence— Last week 700 fine
buck lambs, for which a good price was
paid, were shipped from independence
to Wyoming for breeding purposes.
This week 800 fine Angora goats were
shipped from here to the state of Wash­
ington
The goats were held here sev­
eral days awaiting cars for shipment.
Hnndrede of men have looked at the
band and all prononnee it the finest
large collection of goats ever seen in
the West. The purchasers were Car-
son A-Littlejohn, of Steilacoom, Wash.
The goats were bought up by Bnothby

The
Riddell and Stump sheep and goat
larms, in particular, have national
fame, especially since carrying away
premiums at the St. Louis fair. Fancy
prices are received for much of the live­
stock shipped oat of Polk lately.
As
much as $100 is often obtained for a
single ‘ ‘ billy’ ’ goat, and as high as $5
a pound has been realized for the mo­
hair.
What seemed to be extravagant in
vestments in imported sheep and goats
a few years ago are now bringing their
reward.
The goats just shipped oat w ill he

I hope to see the Angora goat busi­
