Pi b patches from Sofia continue to

from other Balkan center picture con
ditions aft grave. Balkan stuteH are
said to be taking military prcuutlonH
against the imread of terrorism in
Bulgaria, which flared to 4ta high
mark with the recent attack on King
Boris, assasHtnation of C.enern.1 Ciheo
ghfetf and bombing of the Svetl Krai
cathedral, where ItiG .persons were
killed.
Roumanja Is reported moving
troops toward both her Russian nnd
' Bulgarian frontiers. Jugo-Sluvla Is
guarding her border: indirect reports
say Greece is mobilizing a part of her
army but will not Intervene unless
Greek frontiers are threatened.
. Greece, according to these reports
will regard an increased , Bulgarian
army as a Balkan menace. Greek
ngentH are reported enroute to Bel

Greek-Slav alllnnce.

clared In dispatches from Bucharest,
where sensational accounts of the
Bulgarian situation have been re

Sofia dieputches quote Minister of

- that not over 1500 persons have been
arrested throughout Bulgaria during
. the campaign against terrorists. He
asserts that Moscow furnished arms
and money for the subversives.
Premier Tzankoff declared the
statement attributed to the British
labor party members recently In
Sofia that many had been killed in
Bulgaria without trial Is "sheer
calumny." He declared the situation

Twenty helmet men of the UnPed
States mine rescue forces were on

If the men still in the mine re

men declared they were confident,
they were in no great danger. The
belief was expressed that the fire
would be confined to the Heela mine
proper and that present measures

Three men were brought out alive
from the 1000 foot level, after fire,
breaking out in a pump station on

Three rescue crews of 12 men each

They are in charge of K. T. Starks, j

After the fire -was- discovered at

two trips to the 2000 foot level, but

LOCALTAILOR S
BEATEN UP BY
iYEGG
One of those bold criminal happen
ings that so nehlom occur In Meclford
was the daring and brutal holdup of
E. J. Klein about 10 o'clock last night,
during which the well-known tailor
was beaten over the head and face
by a blackjack or revolver.
Before the thug could Bearch his
semi-conscious victim, however, a
neighbor woman, whoso attention had
been attracted by Mr. Klein's shoutB
for help, came out of her home across
the street and seeing wjtat was hap
pening screamed, and the robbor
hastily ran away.
Mr. Klein, although he suffered bad
contusions on the left cheek and eye
and on the head, beBides wearing
several raised lumps on the latter,
was at work this forenoon as usual,
although not feeling very chipper.
The attack took place on North
Bartlett street, just north of Jackson
street and near his own home, f24
North llarlett, and also near the
Coqklin Duplex apartments. It Is Vory
dark in this vicinity as the nearest
street light Is at the corner of Jackson
and Bartlett streets, and the light is
so situated that it shines more on
Jackson street.
Mr. Kloin was on his way home at
the time and first noticed the man
coming toward him when the latter
was about 15 feet away, and thought
nothing of the matter. When the two
men met the roughly dressed stranger,
whom Mr. Klein describes ns from 30
to 35 years old and wearing a dark
slouch hat, stopped and asked, "Could
you help a fellow out a little?" and
received the reply, "No, I've got
nothing." 1
Then the robber seized Mr. Klein
tightly by his coat lapels with his
left' hand and with the other hand
began striking him with the blunt In
strument. Mr. Klein, who offered
no resistance, was knocked down
and the thug was dragging him from
the sidewalk onto the grass of a lot
when a Miss Ryan, living across the
street, hearing the assaulted man's
cries, came out the door of her home,
realized what i was taking place and
began to scream.
This ao frightened the holdup man
that he immediately released his hold
on his victim and hastily ran away
In the darkness. The police station
was promptly notified of the holdup
and the night poli( were soon on the
scene, as were BhorMy afterwards
Sheriff JennliiL's nd Chief of Police
Adams, who were at. the Klks' temple
and had been notified.
Dr. P. ii. Thayer was also summoned
to take care of Mr. Klein's injuries
The police and sheriff, although
they searched the vicinity iff the hold
up and other parts of the city for the
criminal, could find po trace of him.
Several possible suspects, however,
were rounded up during the night but
released, The authorities think that
