places. In Berlin several policemen

Reports from places outside of Ber-

worst affair occurred at Hewmunster,
In Holstein, where a workingman was
mortally wounded by a knife through
the lungs; another's hand was cut off,
while third lost an ear.
At Halle, after the close of the
meetings, 1000 Socialists attacked the
police, who drew their sabers and
wounded many At Koenigsberg where
the Socialists returned in body from
suburban meetings, the police in at

Totem Pole Thief IS Punished

The theft of an ancient totem pole
from the old Tongass Indian village
on Cat Island, Alaska, is what caused
the arrest and Imprisonment of Clar-

about her which seemed to denote GER

Poor Miss Winstanley, however,
looked decidedly uncomfortable, in
spite of the fact that she felt she was
about to witness the elimination of
this engagement which she held to be
SO monstrous. She too was q gen.

of attack differed widely from that

could see with half an eye that Mrs.
Dimes had been born to the hammer
