ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4,1894
STORY OF THE ARMENIANS.
Scene* of Horror Related by the Survivor] of the HaiiMcre.
Several Armenian women escaped from the villages with this party, but when near Erseroum they died from the effeot* of saber wounds inflicted upon them before their esoape.
Dalvorig, It appears, Is the largest Tillage in the province of Sassoun, and its Inhabitants, when they learned of the horror* perpetrated by the Turks at Vartemis, attaoked the Turks on the frontier. The Turkish commander eventually sent twelve soldiers Into Dalvorig to learn what had occurred. The Armenians, filled with Indignation at the atrocities committed by the Turks at Vartemis, attacked this detaohment of Turkish soldiers and put them all to death. When the Turkish oommander heard of the death of hi* soldiers he determined upon avenging It in the most bloody manner possible. A strong force of Turkish troops were sent to the village with artillery and tho massacre began. Guns kept up a continuous fire upon Dalvorig until practically not one stone was left standing upon another.
At Kelchusen the soldiers killed the Armenian priest, Margos, who. with twenty inmate* of a house, were burned to death, the soldiers preventing anybody from escaping from the burning dwelling. Tho chief of the village of Cheneg was captured by the soldiers and bound to his two daughters. All three were then scalded to death with boiling water. A detachment of twen-ty-flve regulars of the Turkish cavalry, after committing inexpressible horrors at the village of Sebgliank, went to the village school and violated tho girls found there.
After driving out the men they collected the female ohlldreu of Bahlou, about 300 In all, and after violating them killed them.
The Kurdish regular troops from Kizan and Bahran. entered tlio Armenian villages of Allanosslg and Aghteg, killed the inhabitant** and wrecked their houses.
Tho number of villages devastated in this manner 1* *ald to be over thirtytyo.
