Talermo, Sicily!, Oct. 5. (By Tho Associated Press.) Thousands ' oi armed men have invaded the large estates of almost the entire .island of Sicily, which is still held in prac tically feudal condition by the bar ons. These absentee landlords, whose properties, though not well cultivated, usually yield 'immense profits, spend most of their time and N money in Naples, Rome, Paris and Madrid. Picturesque scenes" were enacted, especially at Alcamo, where peas ants marched, waving the national flag, bearing religious standards and singing popular songs. There were leaders from all parties, socialists, Catholics and former combatants, even the monk, Father BrancatelliV who preceded the crwd on horse-. back, crucifix in hand, surrounded by a staff composed of Catholics and ex-combatants, symbolizing the new alliance of the cross and sword. .Amid cries of rejoicing and pray ers of thanksgiving the strange pro cession occupied the large estate of the duke of CorigliaiiQ. No resist ance was offered, despite the pres ence of police. v Similarly the peasants occupied the estates of many others of thcV, gentry. The prefect of Catania was warmly applauded by the people for having issued a decree legally per-v, mining the occupation of estates ana their division into small boilings among the peasants who fought m the war. ' Only one deplorable incident oc curred. Three hundred horsemen from the village of Sanli Angelo Muxara led by their own mayor were returning after having , oc cupied the Muxarello estate, es corted by ten carbineers and two sergeants when without warning. 10 peasants from the neighboring viflage of San Baigio hidden behind trees fired, killing one and wound ing seyeral others and , then made their escape. : : The attack by the peasants is at tributed to tne fact that the people of San Biagio considered Muxara within their province and therefore treated, the Santi Angelo peasants as usurpers.
