a MUTUAL CHARGE OF CoNJURING.
An interesting scene occurred at the po-
ice station last night, which elected the
close attention OF a number OF people.
Two old colored rers cns. who. by reason or
their years should have been wise. came into
the station and complained that they were
conjured by each other. The man produced
bucket OF dirt. which, he declared. was
graveyard dirt" which the woman had
placed at his front steps. over which IL
had he unfortunately stepped, as he be-
,ieyed. he would certainly have died. Being
forewarncd. he was forearmed, and In
stead OF stepping over the bucket. he
carefully walked around IL. picked II up,
and carefully carrying Il. dumped IL Into
the Appomattox river. The woman. who
felt confidence In her cause. denied tho
charge of placing the graveyard dirt /;
but made counter-charge OF conjuring.
in that tho man had frequently pointed
dead mems fingers at her while she was
trying TO go 10 sleep; that she had been
kept awake frequently at night by these
CHASTITY apparitions. which she recognized
az being pointed at her by this same man.
The charges and denials by each COM
