The staffordshire police succeeded

which for several days has caused
great perplexity to people living in the
neighborhood OF Cttoxeter.

incidents began at Lesley Hall Farm
baiiiff to Mr.. Richardson. a weIl-known
farmer About 10 o'clock at night Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson were having supper
when they were startled by heearins
strange noises and presently boots and
bottles came falling down the stairs,
thrown by some invisible hand.
A Mystery, Indeed
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson at once rushed
upstairs and found everything In a state
OF wild confusion. Their bedroom had
been completely ransacked. mattresses
had been carried from one room to an
other. ornaments had disappeared and
Tie place was In condition Of chaos
Convinced that some intruder was on the
hands, and the house was systematically

canuy noises were heard In different
parts OF the house, but thorough
search again proved unavaiiing.
This was only the beginning of a

occurred during the following days

occasions knives just missed her head
and were deeply fmbedded in tho doors.

by the terrified occupants were greeted
with such scant courtesy that they had

Efforts VIII Be Made to Recover

British Warship
LOST A CENTURY AGO
LONDON. Sept. II

LONDON. Sept. 10.
Another attempt is 10 be made 10 save
the British warship Lutine. which was
wrecked about century ago on the coast
of Holland.
The romantic venture Is TO be carried
out by the National Salvage Association,
Ltd. the statutory meeting of which was
held yesterday.
The chairman mentioned that the main
object for which the company had been
formed was the saving of certain WRECKS
In South Africa, but they had had
brought before their notice the question
of saving a British war vessel which was
wrecked much nearer home, namely. his
majesty's steamship Lutine. wrecked on
and thus much newer than the two ves-
wells which they had been principally
formed to salve.
This particular vessel was somewhat
historical. and attempts to saive her had
been numerous during the last century.
OF the 100000 which she was said 10
contain only 10000 had so far been re-
covered. 30 that there was very large
amount still there.
They had been able to make very salts
factory arrangements both with Iloyds
and with the authorities In Holland. They
had Also arranged TO take over on ia
vorable terms the appliances and plans
Of the New Lntine Company. which was
the last company which attempted TO
salve that vessel. Although many fall
ures had been made In the past in this
direction, there was no reason. he
thought, why they should not be success
full. because they were able to bring to
bear knowledge and the use OF scientific
implements such as were undreamed Of a
few years age.
He admitted that the company had
been regarded by some interested In

ness was also similarly regarded Mt it,
commencement. They proposed to test
! their equipment and their crew by the
salvinT operations on the Lutine for the
rest Of the present year. and then devote
themselves to the wrecks In south Africa
He added they quite realised that there
was an element of risk ifs their opera
tons and that they would either have 4
