HOW HE FOOLED THEM
August Svensson Was Too Smart for
the Crooks.

August Svensson Was Too Smart for
the Crooks.
August Svensson of the Ale Vaults
will always believe that an attempt was
made to rob his place on Sunday night.
Two men entered the saloon, one appear
ing to be very drunk. His companion
told Svensson that the drunken man
claimed to bave been robbed, but he
doubted it and wanted Svensson to search
him and see if he didn't have his money
in his pocket
Svensson scented danger aud told them
to go and consult a policeman. They
walked out and crossed the street and
Svensson stepped to the door and blew a
blast on his whistle. AT this the drunken
man braced up and he and his companion
struck out rapidly toward Chinatown.
As they did so another man, who had
apparently been hiding in a doorway
near by, ran across the street and disap
peared.
Svensson thinks the trick was TO get
him from behind the bar and then step
in and rob the till.

Just received a letter confirming this be-

and his life be endangered The missionary
says the situation is serious, and that the
danger Of an outbreak is imminent He
says the Armenians intend TO fight for
their liberty.
Speaking Of Lenz, the missionary says
be has reliable information that LEM was
killed last May at Koordali, on the Alysh
Gird plain, near the famous pass OF Deli
Baba The missionary talked with man
who saw Leaz at Karakalesseh On what
the natives said was two wheeled cart.
Two dnvs laiar the man saw the dead
