A DEVIL-INFEsTEDDEN.
Strange Experience with the spooks
OF Abyssinia.
From the London Times.

From the London Times.
Captain Welby. who has recently re-
turned from an expedition through
Abyssina, tells the following extra
ordinary story of the haunted land OF
WalamO:
zone Of the most weird and remark
able scenes / ever witnessed was in
Walamo, some fortnight's journey
south of Adis Abeba. The place had
an evil reputation, and | had frequent
ly heard that any person venturing to
enter the country became the special
prey of demuns-in fact became pos
sesscd of demons. OF course, | pooh
poohed the idea, but nevertheless It
made me more determined than ever
to so there. My Abyssinans did not
even demur when | told them of my
resolve. but the fact really was that
they did not think | should be per-
mittel to enter the levil-infcstel zone.
ON reaching the mysterious place I
found ii TO be one of great BEAUTY.
1t was fertile country. with luXuriant
vegetable growth, intersectcd With
streams. II was. moreover, very hilly
and we'll timbcrcd. The inhabitants
found to he most friendly, although
they told me they had never seen u
white man before. So far all had gone
well and ] was more certain than
ever that the evil reputation of the
place was only based on superstitious
nonsenso. ] do not say that subse-
quent experience has left any very
clear idea in my mind and I can in no
way explain the marvellous phenomena
which l witnessed. | only state the
facts.
The first sign of anything wrong
was when one of my Somai escort
rushed into camp shouting 'Walamo,'
'Walamo.' He was frightfully excited.
he shook violently and kicked like n
madinan, and in the interval between
his shrieks he told me that he was
possessed by a devil. The whole oe
that night he was neither more nor
less than a maniac, but the next day
he was perfectly well. ! had been
previously told that once a man had
become 'Walamo' or devil-posscssed,
he was always liable to second at
tack, and as a simple measure of pre-
caution the mans rifle was taken from
him. While on the march he had an
other access of this curious madness.
in the course of which he drew knife
and rushing about threatened to kill
everybody. 1t took several men to
hold him down. 1t Is supposed tn b.
especially dangerous Ia eat food In
the presence OF the 'Nalamo' people,
and on one occasion one OF my Su.
danese saw Walamo gazing inten'lv
upon him while he was having his
meal. Nothing untoward occurred at
the time, but two days later this man
became "A raving lunatic.
"The last victim, who was my head
man. had always been "A peaceable. Or
derly fellow, but he professed to know
before the outbreak that he had become

the Somali, kicked and yelled and ex-
hibited similar symptoms to the other
unfortunate. Without intermission h.
shouted 'Walamo' at the top of his
voice and in his madness injured thre,
men. Eventually he had to be tied up.
but the next day he was perfectly well.
Thinking l could perhaps do some
thing to explain these extraordinary

BULLOCK FAMILY JAR
Husband Drinks, But Has Tried
to Quit.
He ANSWERS HIS WIFE
WANTS TO TAKE HER BACK AND
START OVER.

Joseph H. Bullock, defendant in the
action for divorce recently instituted
against him by his wife, Matilda Bull
lock, yesterday filed in the district
court an answer to the complaint, de-
nying all Of the material allegations
against him and setting up reasons why
his wife should withdraw her suit. The
filing was made at the same time that
Judge Hiies granted an order requiring
defendant to pay S25 a month tempo
rary alimony to his wife and SIS for
her attorneys fees
The defendant denies that he has
failed to provide for the support of his
wire. out on the contrary he charges
that Mrs. Bullock became dissatisfied
with the earnings from the farm at
Crescent, valued at s.. 900. and in the
month Of August last she took every
thing from home to Murray, where. he
says, she opened a boarding house and
commenced TO crafty her extravagant
tastes.
Bullock admits that he always has
been addicted to the use of Intoxicating
liquors, and this his wife knew before
she married him, but he declares that
he never drank to the extent Of in
capacitating him from business, exceDt
on occasions when his wife aggravated
him to the point of intoxication. and
then he said and did mean things for
which he was sorry on recovering his
senses.
1t IS further charged that Mrs. Bull
lock turned her children against de
PENDANT and by her ungoVernable tenn
per has made life a burden to him. The
answer pleads that defendant has tried
10 break himself away from the habit
Of over-indulgence in liquor and tobac-
co. but that each effort was accompan-
led by sickness.
Bullock declares that only a short
time ago his wife condoned his acts
and that it is his desire to take her
back and begin life anew. He is will
ing that his wife should have all of the
farm earnings if she will withdraw her
complaint.
