Some of the trance-like conditions

for days and weeks have been studied
and have been found to be frauds.
The subjects are surreptitiously sup
piled with food and drink by their

true Of the alleged power possessed
by Hindu fakirs and ascetics of all
ages, Of going into states Of trance
in which they will allow themselves
to be buried alive and dug up again
and revived after several months
have elapsed. In one instance on rec
ord an individual of this class allow
ed himself to be buried alive and his
grave watched by a guard of Eng
lish soldiers, and was dug up at the
end Of the time exceedingly dead. In
another, the English officer In charge
became alarmed ON the third day
and had the fakir "resurrected" when
he was found still alive. A reed or
bamboo at n corner of the grave
to supply air would explain all these
cases. The whole subject is involved

BANDITS DEFY A TOWN.
Gang Gets Away With Big Sum Taken
From Bank at Sweet Springs.

Sweet Springs.-A posse is still
securing the woods in search Of the
five bandits who broke into the bank
of Sweet Springs, held the citizens at
bay for almost an hour, and left with
a booty of almost $4,000 Sunday
morning.
The yeggmen secured their tools
from a Missouri Pacific water tank
Toulouse, the section house and the
Fisher Implement company. 1t re-
quired four charges to wreck the
safe, a piece of it being blown through
a front window for a distance of 100
feet. The bandits overlooked 5000 of
$4,000 that was in the safe.
When citizens were awakened, rob-
bers on guard fired enough shots to
intimidate them. AS they left town
they fired several volleys, and it was
a good twenty minutes before the pur-
suit was taken up.
