THE HAUN ED
SENTRY BOX
,A PORTO RIcan Romance.

Writing in the Journal of the Mill
tary Service Institution, Capt Arthur
p. s. Hyde of the coast artillery tells
this curious story of "the haunted sen
try box" of Fort San Cristobal, the an,
cient Spanish-built fortress which
guards the entrance to San Juan, Per:
to Rico:
"a number Of picturesque sentry
boxes built of masonry and appearing
like minarets are placed at points of
vantage in and around the fort. One
of these on the sea front and reached
only through long and dark tunnel
from the interior of the fort is popu.
larly known as La Garita del Diablo,
or the Devils Sentry Box, usually,
though incorrectly. translated the
haunted sentry box This name was
given to 1t by the Spanish soldiers
for the reason that number of SEN
tries stationed there disappeared in
most mysterious manner, and were
never again heard from. Their disap-
pearance was ascribed to- the devil,
whs was supposed to have come and
taken them away.
IAN American officer was once on
duty that took him into the remote
interior of the island, and while spend
ing one night in small settlement, he
/ engaged in conversation with a num-
Der of the inhabitants of the place
One old man, ON learning that the Of
ficer was stationed at Fort San Girls
tobal, became especially interested,
and in, the course Of the conversation
| told the following story:
az used to be soldier in the
Spanish army and was stationed at
Fort San Cristobal A number of sol
diers, while on sentry duty, had mys-
! teriously disappeared from the sentry
box down by the sea, and we had all
become convinced that it was haunted
by the devil who, we thought used to
| come and steal the soldiers away.
Zone stormy night it fell to my LOT
/ to go on duty in the DEVILS Sentry
Box, as we called 1t, at midnight. and
it was with some doubts and mis-
givings that went with the corporal
of the guard and relieved the former
sentry When they left me I listened
to the sound of their footballs rever
berating from the walls and ceiling o.
the dark and narrow passage, evel
growing fainter and fainter as the,
receded, until, finally. the noise of the
storm and the sea completely drowned
it, and was left alone with the MAD
elements.

Atlanta, Jan.1.-The most notable
feature of the first day statutory pro
hibition in Georgia was the refusal
of Judge w. p. Newman in the fed
eral court here TO grant an Injunction
pending litigation to prevent putting
into effect of the prohibition law.
Papers in the case were filed late
Tuesday in behalf of breweries in
Chattanooga and Cincinnati. Judge
Newman today simply fled memo
randum, reading as follows:
After careful consideration, an
Injunction pendente lite will not be
granted. This being true, it is un-
necessary to call on defendants to
show caues why not"
Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the
case told the Associated Press to-
night that Judge Newman's order
would not throw the case out OF court
but that the case would come UP in
the regular order of business, and it
is expected it will he ready for trial
in about two months.
In the meantime, prohibition is in
effect in every distriec of Georgia.
Under the law, defendants in the
brewery action against the prohibi-
tiCn law have until March in which
to demur or die answer This leaves
the whole question in allegiance until
that time. - a. 81 80
notwithstanding predictions that
enforcement of the law on the first
day of the year would bring about
disturbances, there was not the slight
