Four Peasants Killed by Famished Beasts Bucharest, Dec. 29.

A pitched battle was waged for two hours yesterday between the villagers of Brusturi and famished wolves, which made an attack on the town. The entire population of the village fought desperately with axes, knives, picks and spades. Four peasants and fourteen wolves were killed. The animals were starving, due to the severity of the weather.

The death roll in the Christmas Eve tragedy, between G¥latzi and Kischineff, when two trains filed with holiday makers collided, is now well over 100 persons.—Reuter.
