FATAL AMBITION.
A Boy who Wantsd To Be an Ac
robat Pay the Penalty.
Rockport, Ind., December 21.
Johnnie Ridgeway, aged 16. of
Lib<ral, this county, died to-day
from a very singular cause. The
school Johnnie attended is about
one mile from his home, and, the
roads being dry and saudy, John
nie made it a practice of walking
to and from school on his hands,
hnels up. This practice caused
his neck aud face to become abor
mallv largp, and finally about
a week ago brought about conges
tiou of the brain, and he remain* d
unconscious until today, when he
died.
Jonnie has always frncied he
would like tc bejt.showma’i, which
fane* g ive rise to the fool sh prac
tice that caused his death. He has
been known to walk to Bockport,
12 miles from his home, to at
tend a circus.
BELIEVE HE LIVES
Relatives of the Author Think it
Is Mrs Steveson Who Is D ad.
Edinburgh, Dec. 21. —Dr. Bal
four, uncle of Robert L iuis Stev n
son, has wnten a letter to the
Scotsman, in which he sayo the
relatives of the novelist believe
that Robert Louis Stevenson, is
not dead, but that his wife is. Mrv.
Stevenson, “Dr. Balfour writes,
had been treated for aneurism of
the brain while in Scotland. More
over, she said to relatives In Edin
burgh last spring: Do not believe
anv report about Louis unless I
write you.” No message has been
received from Mrs Stevenson, al
though there has been ample time
since Mr. Stevenson was reported
to have died.

FRESH HORRORS
Reported From the Blood Stain d
V les of Armenia.
23 VILLAGES BURNED
“We are Ordered to put you to
the Sword for Ooenly Defy
iig the Government."
The Orders Were Ex
ecuted.
Berlin, December 21.—-The Co
logne Gazette today published a
letter from Armenia, telling of
fresh horrors there, including 23
villages laid in ashes, 11 other vil
lages pillaged and 40 priests mas
sacred.
The letter says that the Turkish
garrisons at Erzeroun, Irisa, Van,
Tigronocerta, Babert and Moosh,
altogether 60,(MX) men, were suit
against the Armenians. The com
manders of these troops announced
to the inhabitants of the villages:
“We are ordered to put you to
the sword for openly defying the
Government, ”
The attack began on Augu«t 18
The Turks were repulsed in the
first instance. Tne massacres began
September 5. Those Armenians
who submitted unconditionally
were bound to stakes and thea
their limbs were cut off with saws.
In other cases the victims weie
disemboweled and their eyes goug
ed out. Children were thrown in
to buring oil aud women were tor
tured and burned to death. The
troops plundered aud burned the
churches. Among these wha fell
victims to the savagery of the
soldiers were 40jpriests, who were
brutally massacred.
The British C nisul at Eczsronn
was prevented from going to the
scenes of the atrocities on the
grou id that it was not safe for
any Armenian he being an Ar
menian, to approach tne places
where the troubles had occured.
This did not deter him from mak
ing an aJterapt to learn the truth,
but as he was trying to approach
one of the devastated villages he
was arrested.
Among those witnessed the
atrocities was a Spaniard named
Ximenes The Turkish authorities
approached him and offered him
large bribes to induce him to deny
iu the English papers the truth of
|th e reports of the outrages. They
also sought to bribe him to go to
England for the, purpose of de
livering lectures on Armenia, in
vr rich he was to dwell upon the
contented condition of the Ar
menians. Senor Ximenes rejected
the offers made to hiiaa.
