Up -Arms Afrnlimt Ttirkj. - Hounded by threo unknown men until his nerves were shattered and his' brain tottered on the verge of insanity, John Kolllterls, a Grand Island Greek, bound to Join, his countrymen In the Balkan war, has, appealed to Sheriff McShane for pro tection from the trio that he fears will do him to death. But for his possession of a piece of black .chalk, the charmof-a secretGreok order of which he isa-member, Kolllterls Lbejleyes hi a pursuer would have ended ms lire betore this. Kolllterls, could not .tell where, the men might bo found; no arrests could be made; tho best the sheriff could, do for him was to advise that he keep himself on main traveled streets and in public places, where no attempt to harm him successfully can be made. Put .House lii Order, The Oreek 'formerly was employed In tho Union Pacific shops at Grand- Island. Two vweeks ago he gave up his position to Join tho Greek army. Realizing the dangers he would face, he mado his will and "put his house In order." lie visited his uncle in Grand Island,' the only other member of the Kolllterls' family In Amer ica, for assistance In planning tho dis position of tho small property that would be left In case ho should meet death. Returning to his. room that night, ac cording to his story, ho was set upon by three men, whom ho never boforo had seen. They had secreted themselves be neath his bed nnd leaped upon him when ho opened his door. Kolllterls wrested himself free, escaped from tho room, slammed tho door behind him and fled. He procured a revolver and returned to his room, but the three men were gone. May He ttcqkliiK Revenue. , Who his pursuers were, or what tho motive of their nttnek Kolllterls did not know then and says he does not know now. It may be they have been offended by sonio member of tho secret order to which he belongs and seek to avenge tho wrong. KollIterlM slept uneasily that night. Once or twice in his troubled slumber ho thought his, pursuers returned. Awaking, he caught ills gun and held it ready for Instant use. Making a light he searched the room. No one was thero. Rut In the morning, three drops of blood appeared on tho floor beside his bed. Whether It It was spilled by one of the three during his struggle with them the night before he does not know. Seeking relief in prayer, Kolllterls went to the Greek Cath olic church. -There on tho doorstep lay a cloth torn Into threo nieces. Tho Greek says he believes this was an omen of evil about to befall him. Half a dozen times slnco those events, Kolllterls says, ho has seen ono or more of the pursuers watching him from a dis tance. He believes they rodo to Omaha on the same train that bore him here. One of them he saw In the courthouso ns he was climbing tho stairway to the sheriff's office, ho said, but when ho nnd tho sheriff wont nbout the building the man could not be found.
