Swiss Rioters Are Killed.

The London Daily Express has received the following from its correspondent at Geneva: “A terrible riot has occurred at Dienne, in the Valley of Chamonix, owing to the Municipal Council selling land on which the people had enjoyed grazing rights. The inhabitants tried to set fire to the town hall and a fierce conflict ensued between the rioters and the gendarmes. Ten persons were killed and fifteen injured."
