Shark Charmers.

In the Persian Gulf the divers have
a curious way Of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurors, and will not descend without
their presence. To meet this difficulty
the Government is obliged to hire the
charmers to divert the attention of the
sharks from the feet. AS the season
approaches vast numbers of natives
gather along the shore and erect huts
and tents and bazaars. At the oppor-
tune moment-usually at midnight, SO
as to reach the oyster banks at sunrise
the fleet, to the number Of eighty or
a hundred boats, puts out to sea- Each
of these boats carries two divers, a
steersman and shark charmer, and is
manned by eight or ten rowers Other
conjurers remain on shore, twisting
their bodies and mumbling incantations
to divert the sharks. In case q man
eater Is perverse enough to disregard
the charm and attack a diver an alarm
given, and no other diver will descend
on that day. The power Of the conjuror
is believed to be hereditary, and the eff
cacy Of his incantations to be wholly
Independent Of his religious faith

SILVER AS A LEGAL TENDER.
To Test the COnstitutionality of the
Bland Allison Act.

Detroit. Mich. Feb. S-Fred A. Baker.
a prominent attorney of Detroit, has filed
an answer to a suit brought against him
in the Oakland county circuit court. in
volving the constitutionahty of the Bland
Allison act and other laws pertaining to
silver as a legal tender.
Stephen Baldwin bought farm upon
which Mr.. Baker held a mortgage that
became due to the amount of 1864, in
Guiding interest Mr. Baldwin rendered
Mr. Baker 364 silver dollars and asked
for the cancellation of the mortgage. Mr..
Baker refused to surrender the mortgage
for the 364 silver dollars, but agreed to
cancel it if he received enough silver dol
lars to equal the present bullion value OF
silver of 1854 gold dollars. This condition
was declined by Mr.. Baldwin and he filed
a suit in equity, asking for decree com
manding Mr.. Baker to cancel the mort
gage in view of the tender made.
In the answer Mr.. Baker submits that
under the power ''to coin money. regulate
the value thereof, and of foreign coins
and fix the standard of weights and meas
ures,' the congress of the United States
has no more authority or power as far
as pre-existing contracts for the payment
of money are concerned to diminish or
increase the number of grains of pure
gold or pure silver in the dollar, in which
a contract has been lawfully expressed
than it has to pre-existing contracts to
change the number of grains in an ounce
OF the number of inches in foot, or feet
in a yard. OF to change any other stand
ard of weights and measures. Several OF
the leading attorneys of Detroit are in
terested in the case.

HANGED AT HILLSBORO.
Paid the Death Penalty for a Crime
Committed Four Years Ago.

Hilsboro Ore. Feb. 5.-Gus Nachlin,
the murderer, was hanged here yester-
day.
The crime for which Gus Wachlin suf
fred the death penalty was the murder of
John d. Ledrick, rancher of Washing
ton county, about March 10, 1894.
Wachlin, although only 23 vars of age,
served term in the Oregon penitentiary
for larceny of COW from Ledrick prior
to 1894. He had just been released from
the penitentiary when he went to Led
rick's farm, and taking a club, beat his
brains out. After burying the body in
the barnyard, he took what money Led
rick had and with team drove to Port
land, where he sold the horses.
Wachlin disappeared and for two years
no trace of him was discovered. In the
meantime Robert Buck, rancher. was
arrested and charged with the murder,
but he was discharged at the preliminary
examination In September last Wachlin,
who was suspected of being the murderer,
was arrested in Morrow county, brought
here and found guilty.
It was known that Ledrick and Rob-
ert Buck had not been on good terms and
Wachlin endeavored to fix the crime on
Buck.

BURNING OF TWO INDIANS.
Official Report of the AtrOcious
Crime in oklahoma.

Washington Feb S-The attorney gen
elal sent to the senate yesterday letter
written by Assistant United States At
torney McMechan, giving the results Of
his investigation into the recent burning
Of two Seminole Indians in Oklahoma by
4 mob. He says that the sentiment in the
neighborhood of the crime is all with the
mob. and he was informed that it would
not be well for him or any other person
to 90 into that locality if it was known
that the object was to locate the conspira-
tors
Mr. McMechan's letter tells in the main
an old story, but he goves some new de-
tails Mct,iesey was, he says, the first cf
The Indians to move Il muscle after the
torch was applied and he did not move
until the flesh was beginning to drop
from his limbs and was beginning to
touch his ears.
He then gave a loud whoop and bent
over as far as the chain would allow him.
and sucking in the leaping flames, sank
down and expired without showing any
more signs Of pain. Not so with Palmer
Sampson: he did not move until after Me
Giesey had inhaled the flames. Then he
commenced to kick with both feet, throw
ing burning pieces of wood 25 OF 80 feet
away 1t was with difficulty that they
succeeded in getting him burned
Mr. McMechan says that Baptist min
ister named Hiram Holt prayed f'r the
two Indians before their execution. and
that as he knelt i'll prayer he held rifle
in his hands.

ORDERED TO YUKON RIVER.
Sudden News to Mounted Police
Causes Great Excitement.

Salt Lake Feb. IA special to the
Tribune from Butte. Mont. says:
Information received from Lethbridge,
on the Canadian boundary, is to the effect
that great excitement has been caused
there by orders received from the domin-
lion government that every man OF the
mounted police hold himself in readiness
to proceed to the Yukon at a moments
notice for temporary duty.
Superintendent Dean has received no
tice to go to Mcleod to relieve Ma or
Steel, who was ordered to the Yukon and
had left for that place before the arrival
of the second message. Five men were
also ordered to the Yukon and left yester
day. The orders. which We're received by
wire by the officers in command from the
division, are said to be due to the exist
ence of serious trouble between the Can
adian and United States authorities in
Alaska relative to the attempt by the
Americans to get provisions into the Yu
kon free CT duty, ostensibly for the relief
Of Distress but in reality for sale to the
highest bidders.
