About a month before, Beder Khs Bey, knowing that the efforts of the Turkish Government to thwart his designs must prove futile, collected various detachments of rai and Bovari, and himself taking command of a large body of Kurds, marched into the country of the Neslonans. Knowing that be would meet with no resistance', he divided hi force into small bands, and sent them in various' directions to fall on the defenceless Nestorian viIIagesTOf the of tbi expedition, gives the fol, Thirtyx of these village, at the least, have beenthi mad. the scene, of the met harrowing who an mnnl.n v. im.iuS thMe boody bwbliriani Me0( women and children crying for mercy the women and cbildten, in the agonies of terror, were put to death by every species of torture which cruelty could in vent Happy were those who were shot, or who fell by the sword, who had not their bowel, ripped out of them while living, or who were not impaled amiast me snouts and laughter or the Twnnf thetishnnrnfthn-WgrtAflOTr tfAr imHn were impaled, and several of the priests.
