Unusual Methods Rssorted to in

DUBLIN, August 1, 1912
The unusual measure Of boycotting a
parish priest has been adopted in the
neighborhOod Of Westport. County Mayo
Some time ago the priest advised his peo-
pie TO pay the rents due from them and
to disregard the efforts of agitators who
were going round the district telling peo-
pie not to pay and to join in a land
war. He also denounced the local branch
of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
The order then went round that at a
certain anniversary. at which many OF
the people had been accustomed to con-
tribute much as a sovereign to the
collection, no one was to give more than
a shilling. The worshipers were watched
as they entered the church. and those
who were seen to put more than shill-
ing in the plate have since had their turf
fuel thrown into the bog, their poultry
killed and their cattle driven off.
These efforts failing to bring the priest
round to the cause of the agitators. the
extreme step was taken of getting sigma
lures to petition praying the bishop to
remove him from the district. The priest
has been denounced by the local ad-
herents Of the league as a government
spy.

At first thought. and even at second.

atrocious outrages are Indians. and. in

The explanation OF the mystery lies In
the enormous difference between these
