THE NuGGAR TANK.
This Lonthsome Spot Is One of the
Sights of India.


Sights of India.
One of the innumerable curious sights
of India is the Nuggar tank of Kura-
chi. In former times the crocodiles
Which inhabit it roamed the neighbor-
hood at their will, seeking whom they
might devour, but so great We're their
depredations that the authorities were
forced to build a wall round their
haunt. This is a swamp, caused by
hot springs, the medicinal virtues of
which have been known from early
times and are attributed to the sanctity
of Mohammedan whose tomb is close
by and to whom the crocodiles are sa-
cred.
The tank, as it is called, is about $50
yards long by about half that dis
lance in breadth. In this space one
observer counted over 20 reptiles from
eight to fifteen feet long and smaller
ones innumerable. They are so tame,
in sense, that it is necessary to poke
them with stick before they will
move.
Buffaloes are always standing in the
water and are not attacked, but any
other animal is instantly seized. "Tne
whole appearance of the place." says
one writer, with it's green, Shiny,
stagnant water and so many of these
huge, unc.lth monsters moving slug
gishly about, is disgusting in the ex-
IRENE, and it will long be remembered
by me as the most loathsome spot 1
ever beheld. chambers Journal.

GLENN'S TRIAL ENDED
Verdict Not Announced, Though
ACquittaI Is Confidently
Expected.

Manila. Jan 24-The arguments in
the trial by courtmartiaI Of Major Ed
win F. Glenn, charged with unlawfuuy
killing prisoners of war, were heard
today and the court submitted a verdict
which was believed TO be an acquittal,
although the finding was not an
nOunced.
Major Glenn, at the opening of the
proceedings, read an extended argu-
ment devoted TO conditions in the ISL
and Of Samar and justification of the
measures taken to end the insurrec-
ton. He quoted many war precedents
and authorities on the laws of war.
Major Waltz read the argument
which counsel for the defense had
jointly prepared. cOntending that the
men killed in Samar were not prison
ers of war, and that they were not eX-
ecuted by order of Major Glenn.
Major Goodier, for the prosecution,
asserted that Major Glenn was re-
spOnsible for the execution of the
guides. He discredited the testimony
Of the civilian scouts TO the effect that
the guides were killed while attempt
ing to escape, and argued that Major
Glenn exceeded his rights when he
forced natives to act first as peace en-
voys and then as guides. Major Good
Ter also asserted that the United States
was not willing to force an enemy I'M
der threat of death to do what it for
bade its own officers doing under pain
of death. and claimed that Major Glenn
had by mistake selected men to act as
guides who did not know the location
of the enemy.

H0USEMAN ON MUNR0E
Well Known Sporting Authority
Tells About Man Who Made
a Reputation off Jeffries.

Probably there has never been a man
thrust into prominence n the pugilistic
world about whom so much has been
written and said as about Jack Nun
roe, the Butte miner. The great part
Of the stuff printed. which is probably
believed by many, IS mere trash and it
VIII be some time before the public in
general learns the true facts about this
| latest aspirant for pUgilstic hOnOrs.
Lou Houseman, sporting editor of the
chicago Inter Ocean, and without
doubt one of the recognized authorities
on the ring, has sized up the situation
Just about right, and has the following
to say:
The cold truth remains that all the
| credit that accrueS to MunrOe-and it
IS his-lies in his sticking out the four
rounds of a handicap match and once
bringing the champion to his knees.
Had there been a decision rendered,
even though on points only, it must
nave gone to Jeffries. But Jeffries
| agreed to stop Munroe and failed, and
1t was this failure which was the max
| ing of MunrOe. I do not want to de-
tract any from the glory of the Butte
miner, but it does look as though his
claim to greatness is built upon a very
tilmsy foundation. AS well caH a sell
/ Ai4S ptdttf a champion, simply because
IL boasts a stake horse which is giving
away u ton of weight. 1t is another
case Of public fickleness, a fickleness
developed and fostered by fulsOme
press stuff. While Munroe was in Chi
cagO the papers of the city and of the
country besieged him for interviews
and pictures, which were given extrav-
agant publicity and greedily eaten up
by the public. Ball showed me a bunch
Of faaH
offering all the way from $500 to $1,000
Il week for his man. Such is greatness,
and greatness comes of proper public
exploitation at the hands of a cunning
manager and a gullible press.
Jack MunTOe is making a fool Of
himself. His ultimatum that Jeffries
first meet Mexican Pete Everett be-
fore he (Munroe) viii accord him any
attention, is imbecilic. MunrOe is a
wholly by reason Of having staid up
on his pins for four rounds before the
champion. This. too, in "A handicap
match, wherein Jeffries agreed to stop
MunrOe in four rounds ard failed. In
a community less given to fight idol
airy than ours, the facts in the case
would have been printed and then the
affair would have been done with. But
here the papers of the country are Day-
ing heavy telegraph tolls on what Nun
roe says and does. The falling out
between Clark Ball and FitzsimmOns
helped the thing along, too Ball i'm
mediately took up the miner, and is
working him, and incidentally, the pa
pers of the country, against the JEFF
fries FitzsimmOns alliance. 1t IS Ball
who is believing whip Everett first"
And, pray. who is Everett? Either
Root Gardner or Ryan can whip the
fellow and give away tons of weight
to him. He has never figured seriously
in matters of the ring, confirming his
operations mostly 20 cripple Creek and
other places Of high altitude, and then
only with poor showings-"
