Curse in SIGN Langua ge.

nneapolis.-George Gilbert. deaf
mute, accused by Edward Gailman, an
other mute, of swearing at the latter.
was arraigned, and, through an inter-
prefer, detied his accusor to prove it.
Gailman's complaint was that Gilbert
had used violent, indecent language, and
had cursed him with great violence, all
by few rapid twistings and wavings
of his slender hands.
When Gailman tried to repudiate the
silent words of Gilbert, the interpreter
started and then informed the court
that the two mutes talked in different
languages, and used systems that were
not alike.
The case was complicated enough be-
fore this information was offered, and
in despair the police judge took it under
advisement.

Thousands of people went nightly to
see the haunted house, and stones were
hurled through the windows, but it was
not even then believed that the ghost
had been laid.
AT last a wager was made by a man
named Hugh Morgan that he would
enter the place and tackle the hob
goblin. BY this time the agents, Messrs.
Sykes, of Brunswick road, had boarded
up the front windows, but Morgan
went behind and forced an entrance by
smashing another pane. His investiga-

rested him. He is still in jail.

many visitors go nightly to inspect the

GIANTS REPORTED IN
WILDS OF LABRADOR,
Indians Report the Existence of a
Race of Mighty Men in
That Region.

Quebec.-Stories of a race of aborig-
inal giants living in the interior of
Labrador continue to come from In
dian sources, but ethnologists do not
believe that such a race exists. 1t was
while endeavoring to find this strange
people that Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., as
sociate editor of Outing, persisted of
hunger in the interior of the inhos-
pitable peninsula less than one year
ago. The late Adirondack" Murray
also had planned an expedition OF dis
fore he could put his project into exc
cution.
Scientists appear TO be agreed that
II any such giant race exists they must
be the survivors of the Beothics or
aboriginal Indians, Of Newfoundland,
the last Of whom died in captivity in
st. Johns, in 1929. In the previous
year the final effort to find the Be
othics, who, because of barbarous
treatment. had been driven from New
foundland, was made by Mr. Cormack,
q representative of the Beothic So
ciety, of st. Johns, but all he could
find were relics and graves.
1t is believed that the Beothics had
affinity with the Mayalo-Polynesian
mote ancestors must have formed part
OF great emigration from the Indian
archipelago prior to the Christian era,
consequent upon Buddhist invasion OF
those islands.

from their constant associations with
