Reports OF looting and wholesale robbery
have been exaggerated There Is disposi-
tion on the part OF the Hungarians, laboring

the act Of robbing the body Of an old Lady,
but by protesting that he got nothing was
released. II was afterwards discovered that
he had taken 500 from the pocket Of the
corpse. Threats TO lynch these thieves on
sight also had good effect In keeping them
att distance. .
Aparty OF searchers saw two men rob-
bing the body Of woman yesterday The
thieves were caught. In one OF their pock-
cts was found lady's ear. entire, sliced
from the head with sharp knife. In the
ear lobe was sparkling diamond. The
| captors placed ropes around the necks OF
the villains and strung them up 70 the near
est tree until they were oead, Ihey tnen
cut them down ana buried them.
