Robbed By Magic.

From the Lahore Tribune.
A very strange case has been filed by
the police before the first class magistrate
and mukhtyarkar of Hyderabad (Sind).
Some time ago at the village of Chhato
Machi Jumps of clay began to drop from
the ceilings of all the houses. No human
agency could be detected, SO the villagers
concluded that 1t was the doing of evil
spirits. The annoyance caused was so great
that they left the village in body and set
tied In the neighborhood. After few days
fakir was brought in who said he would
drive out the genii Lo! at the fakirs strik-
ing the roofs OF some of the houses and

which were distributed.
The fakir then directed that all the orna-
ments. cash. ETC., In the village should be
nut in a grain stack and vessel of water
placed over the stack. He would Their re-
peat certain lamentations and pour libations
toward the village and the spirits would
take flight The fakir then distributed some
sweets to all the people, men, women and
children. In a few minutes all the people
fell into profound sleep which lasted
about three days. The ornaments and cash
were. OF course. removed by the fakir, who
has disappeared.

Convicted on Two Charges.

AS result of his meeting with Officer
Klelndenst of the first precinct station
yesterday. Edward Columbus will spend the
next five months in the workhouse, unless
he pays a fine of $35. Such was the sem
tence imposed by Judge Mills in the Police
Court this morning. Columbus was charged
with assault on the officer and with dis
orderly conduct. upon both of which charges
he was declared to be guilty.
Officer Kleindienst saw Columbus on the
curb of llth street. apparently waiting for
a car. The officer found it necessary to
arrest him for disorderly conduct. but upon
attempting to do so the man resisted Ac-
cording to the testimony in court this morn
ing by the officer. Columbus made a strong
fight against the officer, ripping his coat
up the back and kicking and beating him.
~kleindienst used his club and finally over
powered Columbus and placed him under
arrest.
Columbus maintained the stand in the
Police Court that he was quietly waiting
for a when the officer came up and
tried to put him under arrest. He said he
was doing nothing and that the officer beat
him. although he did not resist arrest.
Judge Mills. however, was convinced to the
contrary.

Causes No Surprise.

The report that the Venezuelan govern
ment was making extensive purchases Of
war materials, including torpedo boats. was
no surprise to the State Department Off
Gals. 1t has been known for some time
past that such purchases were being made
by Venezuela, and 1t Is even known that
bids were sought in the United States. No
comment is made upon the action OF Ven
ezuera further than to say that there are
no restrictions on any country in the mat
ter Of purchasing arms and armament.
Neither Minister Russell nor Special Agent
Calhoun has reported his arrival in Ven
ezuela to the State Department, although
press cables show that both have reached
that country. No information has reached
the State Department to Justify the belief
that President Castro will in any way Inn
pede the investigation which Judge Calhoun
is to make OF the asphalt controversy.
