An echo or the remarkable case in

de- Casa Riera vas heard ln the BARGE
Iona courts today. when the persons con-
cerned in The claim were sentenced 10
various terms OF imprisonment
The story is % Spanish counterpart Of
tine English TichboTne case.
The blacksmith. Pedro Rlcra. learned
from his relatives IN youth that ne wax
connected with the marquis of the same
name. BY some process Of reasoning he
began To think that he was the real heh
o. the title and the estates. which have
an estimated value OF ~ least So. CO., 600.
The Blacksmith Claim.
Pedro first mentioned his claim in 1873
bat tho marquis refused to see him Oh
listen 80 his story. In ISL the old mar<
outs died. and the title passed TO his
nephew Jose. who enjoyed Il only a few
months when the estates reverted 70 hia
brothers Alexandra and Gonzales. In A
few years Gonzales died and Alejandrd
came into sole possession.
The claimant declares that both Ale
iaudro and Gonzales died some time be<
fore their brother jose. and that thu
holder OF the title was really the son Of

of several wealthy men. including the
Marquis de Dion. the motor-car mauufac-
turer. and NJ. Faure, the anti-Jewish agi-

To prove the case false entries were
made tn the municipal register Of Santa

MUST TUNNEL WAY
IN SNOW TO HOUSES
Up to Eaves Of Houses in Sew
eral Towns in Silesia and

In several towns in Snosia the snow
drifts are so great in some Of the streets
as to reach to the caves Of the houses.
The residents have had to tunnel their
way in and out.
The same Is the case in several VILLAGES
in the Carpathians. which are almost
completely buried in snow.
In Budapest and Lcmberg the snow ir

municipality is helpless TO deal with the
enormous drifts, and traffic is almost at

WE OWE NOTHING TO GOD.

The fact that we fear to break our

seriously ask ourselves the question,
Why should one generation have
power to bind a succeeding genera

I ounce heard an orthodox minister
say from his pulpit, I'VE owe God
nothing; We can owe him nothing; he

And this, as take 1t, is the proper
attitude Of one genration of people
