A Greek-Bulgarian Battle.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 11, 1913:
Quarrel Over Possession of a Captured Town — Casualties Heavy.
    LONDON. Tuesday, March 11.— A Salonika dispatch to The Times dated March 8. gives details of a serious fight, with heavy casualties, between Bulgarians and Greeks at Nighrita. According to the Sofia correspondent of The Times, the two Governments have arranged to institute a strict inquiry into this engagement and to punish the guilty parties. They will elaborate a code of regulations to prevent a repetition of such incidents.
    The Salonika dispatch says that the Bulgarians failed to occupy Nighrita in the hurried march to Salonika, and the Greeks captured the town after a skirmish with the Turks. Nighrita will have importance when the new frontier comes to be drawn, and the Bulgarian authorities recently sent 150 troops to the place. The Greeks, however, refused to admit them, compelling them to camp at a neighboring village.
    A strong Bulgarian force was then sent with guns, and, without giving the customary notice, placed the guns in position and bombarded Nighrita last Wednesday.
    The Greeks, who were without artillery, replied with rifle fire. The fight continued until Friday. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and the battle was not ended when the messenger left.
