The upper portions of their bodies were gashed by numerous bayonet thrusts, and the lower part roasted away.
Eigiit hundred irregulars rushed the village of Vauauhovo and killed uine-ty-uiue out of a hundred troops. When they came into conflict with a Servian regiment a fierce liand-to-haud light ensued. The Servians declared that they heard orders given in German. After a four hours’ light the irregulars failed. It is believed they lost live hundred. The Servians lost 227.
