something Of sensation was caused in
this city yesterday by rumor that one Of
our best known citizens was about to pub
llsh statement concerning some unusual
experiences during his residence in SYRIA
cuse. How tue rumor originated it is i'm
possible to say, but reporter immediate

in question, and secured the following in

and restless after retiring. Occasionally
this would be varied by q soreness of the
muscles and cramps in my arms and legs.

it was only cold and so paid as little at

The statement drawn out by the above
