When it was opened, they rushed in and dragged the landlord Mr. Smith and Captain Maclean, who were in bed with their wives, out of the bed, and prepared to despatch there forthwith, but, on Captain Maclean imploring them not to marder him before his wife's eyes, forced the two men and Mrs. Maclean's brother-in-law into another roor and shot them in gold-blood..
Another victim was Captain Baggalay, who had lost his leg in the war.

Unly scanty reports have, so far, beca received in Loudon regarding the Croke Park tragedy in which 12 persons were killed and scores were injured.

They were followed by troops, who fired valleys, causing a terrible panic. People swept like an avalanche on the playing pitch,
