Bulletin: SOFIA, June 15.—(By The Associated Press). — Former Premier Stamboulisky, of Bulgaria, has been killed while trying to escape. The end of the peasant leader's career was a series of dram- atic developments beginning with the overthrow of his government in the early hours of last Satyrday and the formation of a coalition government including all the opposition parties with the exception of the cmmunists. LONDON Jue 15.—(By The ciated Press)}—The Bulgarian semi- official agency here this afternoon announced the death of ex-Premier Stamboulisky and added that he was kiHed during a fusillade after a party of armed peasants had attacked the car in which he was passing through the village of Slavovrten.
