LONDON, Jan. 21.—A graphic story
of the murder by drunken Russian sol
diers of Prince Sangushko, a Polish
noble, and his two nieces, the
Countesses Rzyszczcwski, is related
by the Petrograd correspondent of
Lloyd's News.
‘ Before the war the tragedy lately
enacted at Slavuta would have sent
a thrill of horror throughout Europe,”
says the correspondent. “As it is, the
bare fact that the venerable Prince
Sangushko, 90 years old, had been
murdered, has been announced, but
the ghastly details of the crime have
only just been revealed.
“The castle of Slavuta, built when
the district of Southwestern Russia,
where it stands, belonged to the king
of Poland, lies on the outskirts of a
little manufacturing town of the same
name. Owing to the unsettled state)
of the country, which is Infested by^
deserters from the army, the military
authorities had sent a guard of dra-|
goons to the castle, which contains
priceless historical treasures aecumu-j
lated by the Sangushko family in the
course of centuries.
One of these dragoons caught a
soldier from a neighboring village cut
ting down a tree in the forest stir
I
rounding the castle, and tackled him.j
The thief was slightly wounded, but
not severely enough to prevent his
running to the neighboring village,
where his regiment was stationed,!
shrieking that the guard at the castle
was trying to murder him. The sol-|
dier’s comrades at once seized their|
rifles and surrounded the castle of
Prince Saugushko. They began to
fire, and the dragoons on guard re
turned the fire. All the time the of
ficers and members of the regimental
committee were appealing to the in
surgent soldiers to obey orders and
to cease firing.
“Suddenly they gave way, only stip
ulating that a deputation from the
regimental committee should search
the castle, as they were convinced
that the old prince had stored machine
guns within the castle for use in the
cause of the counter-revolution. Of
course there were no machine guns,
and all that was found was a few
sporting guns and revolvers.
“Just as suddenly as the crowd of
soldiers standing in the courtyard of
the castle had yielded to the appeal of
their officers came a new uproar, and
in an instant they had overpoweredj
the guard and rushed into the castle, j
Neither threats nor appeals had the
slightest effect on them. They de
stroyed, in a fit of maniacal fury,
everything that they could lay hands
on. Pictures, furniture, statues, dra-|
peries were destroyed blindly, ruth-!
lessly. The venerable Polish mag-(
nate and his two nieces, the young
and beautiful Countesses Rzyszczcw
ski, fled to one of the attics, hoping
that if their home was to be ruined
at least their lives might be saved.
From early in the morning, when the
marauders began their attack, until 5
o’clock in the afternoon, the sacking
of the castle went on. Then the sol
diers retired to the courtyard.
What about the prince?’ cried one
of them.
“‘And the lovely countesses ?'•
added another.
“Back into the castle rushed a band
of soldiers, and began to search ton
the owner. At last he was found andj
dragged into the courtyard, amid the
derisive yells of the soldiers waitingj
for their victim. They decided to
take him to the village where theyi
were stationed, and dragged the old
man along, for he was too old to walk
at the pace they desired. On the way
they finally lost the last shred of self
control, let the prince drop half sense
less on the ground, and then a score
of men thrust their bayonets into his
body. So died Prince Sangushko. His
murderers, like savage beasts, tore
his body in pieces.
The fate of his nieces, the twe
' ountesses Rzyszczcwekl. was more
•errible than that rtf the prince. They
hnd managed to escape by a back way
and had reached the market-place of
'he town. There they were recognized
and soldiers at once seized them.
These two youthful countesses, whose
requisite loveliness had made them
'he center of all eyes in the salons of
'he palaces of Warsaw, and whose
goodness and sweetness had made
'hem beloved by the people of Sla
vuta. were defended for a time by
♦he Catholic priest of Slavuta, who
had known them from childhood and
prepared them for first communion.
Rut the soldiers refused to be de
prived of their victims, and showered
blows with the butt ends of their rifles
on the courageous pries- who fell and
"as heaten to death. It is perhaps
well that the sufferings of the two
countesses ended in death.
“The day ended with the soldiers
running amok in the town, murdering
and maltreating the peaceful inhab
itants, while the scene was lit up by
the flames of the blazing castle of the
ISangushko.” '

SWEDISH ATHLETICS
UNAFFECTED BY WAR
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 2,.—Nothwith
standing its proximity to the scene of
the European war, Sweden haw just

letic seasoh in the history of sport in

Ernie Hjertberg, formerly prominent

athletics, the Swedish track and field
performers have made remarkable
strides and will be factors to tie feared

track competitions shall have been re
sumed.
The year 1917 was the most suc
cessful in the history of Swedish ath
letics, both from the viewpoint of gen
eral interest and of performances.
Twenty-two new Swedish records were
established, and four of these were at
the same time new world's records.
Three of these world record perform

the phenomenal long-distance man,
whose defeat of Ted Meredith at 1,000
meters In the Stockholm Stadium in
October, 191G, will he recalled. A.
Bolin, who tied with Zander on that
occasion in 2:31.2, equalling the
world’s record, has two of the new
Swedish records to his credit, and
Zander ran alone. The former record,
world’s records. Both Zander and Bo
lin are special pupils of Krnie Hjert
berg.
Zander's world's records are: 1.500
meters, 3:54.7; 3,000 meters. 8:35.7;
3.000 meters, 5.31. His best perform
ance was the 1,500 meter run, which
Zander ra nalone. The former record,
3:55.8, was held by Abel Viviat. Zan
der clipped no less than 5.2 seconds
from Attila’s record in the 2,000 meter
run, and nine-tenths of a second from
the 3,000-meter figures. The other
world s record to go was for throwing
the javelin, best throw with each hand,
in which Yngve Haekner set a record
of 114.28 meters.
The other new Swedish records
| established follow: 60-meter dash, 6.9
seconds; 200 meters. 22.1 seconds; 400
meters, 50 seconds (Bolin); 440 yardsj
50.6 seconds; 800 meters, 1:55.2 (Bo
lin); one mile, 4:17.5 (Zander; 5,000
meters. 14:59.6 (Zander); 400 meters,

meters, ,: 31.1; four-man relay, 1,500
i ^mmmm—m
meters, 3:28.3; four-man relay, 6,000
meters, 17 minutes; high jump, 1.89
meters; pole vault, 3.883 meters; dis
