BLOOD FEUD IN UPPER EGYPT
Natives viii Go to Almost Any Length
In the Desire to Wreak Prl.
waite Vengeance.

A remarkable instance of an limo
cent man being condemned to death
for murder and having his innocence
proved almost at the foot of the gal
lows is reported from Upper Egypt
A very rich land owner was found
dead on his doorstep An inquiry was
opened and his two brothers accused
a certain Omran Mahmoud and his son
of the crime which they swore they
saw them commit
The accused men declared their in
nocence, but, despite the desperate and
eloquent efforts Of their advocate. Om-
ran Mahmoud was sentenced to death
and his son to Imprisonment for life,
and tho date of the execution was
fixed.
The advocate sent in petition for
the Communication of the death sentence
10 the khediye.
Time passed and he heard nothing
as to the fate of his petition. The day
before that fixed for the execution the
advocate determined to approach high
er quarters. Just as he was about To
proceed on the errand two men were
shown into his office They were the
brothers of the murdered man.
They had come to confess to him
that their evidence had been false, and
that Omran Mahmoud and his son
were innocent of the murder of their
brother. They had merely accused
them of the crime because they want
ed to keep the authorities from sus-
pecting the true murderer, on whom
they intended themselves to take ven
geance.
The real criminal was at once ar
rested and on the eve Of the execution
Omran Mahmoud and his son were ad.
yised of what had happened
This incident is illustrative of the
lengths to which the native desire for
revenge will go. 1t is, of course, not
for one man to accuse another
of crime to avenge some long-nursed
grudge, but it is surely unique for in
nocent men to be accused OF a murder
because the family of the murdered
person wish to ayenge their loss them,
selves on the murderer

CAT DIDN'T COME BACK
AT LEAST NOT TO DOmiCilE
WHERE IT BELONGED.
Its Disappearance Something Of mys-
terry to Mr.. Jones, Though He Is
a Roast Of Beef 10
the Good.

1t was found necessary to do away
with the family cat because she had
developed germs and the doctor SAID
1t was dangerous for the children. But
this cat was the children's particular
pet, so 1t was decided simply to have
her disappear, with no funeral or now
ers or juvenile tears or tombstone IN
the back yard. Accordingly the animal
was chloroformed and then MI Jones
did the remains up In neat parcel OF
convenient shape and took them along
when he started for his place OF busl-
ness in the city in the morning, intend
ing to drop the package In the river.
In the train before the river was
reached Mr.. Jones saw the package re-
posing in the rack above his head ana
determined that was a good place 10
leave it. So when he started to get OUT
OF the car he did not take the pack
age down.
Hey, there, Jones! You're leaving
your package" called out friend. SO
Jones turned back and got the pack
age.
On the boat he was surrounded by a
number of friends and realized that 10
drop the bundle overheard in their
presence would require Il lot OF expia'
nation and doubtless result in more or
less joking at his expense. So he TOOK
the package to his office with him. lie
saw the imposeibility Of disposing OF
II there and determined to get r.d or
1t on the boat during the trip back
home.
But there again he was surrounded
by his friends of the morning trip and
took the package to the train with him.
An attempt to get off the car without
it resulted just as it had in the morn
ing. Mr.. Jones thus found himself
returning to his home with the bother
some bundle and he knew the children
would meet him on the front porch and
insist on knowing what it was. Accord
ingly he made his way home across
the back lots, deposited the bundle on
the kitchen porch and finally got to
the front of the house without detec.
ton. Fifteen minutes after he had
seated himself on the front porch with
the solution of his great problem the
cook appeared
Mrs. Jones'" said she, whats dat
extra roast of beef out on the back
poch?"
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones both went back
Sure enough the bundle contained a
siy-pound roast of beef
1t only remains to say this story IS
a true one. The thing happened as
here written.
MFR. Jones is still wondering whether
the man with whom he somewhere eX-
changed bundles had much difficulty in
disposing OF the remains Of the dead
cat.

AN ARMED truce
OVER SUNDAY IN

During Day.
SUFFERS NOTE PREDICTS
TROUBLE AND LITIGATION

Albany, n. Y. Aug 10 An
armed truce over Sunday is the
present situation IN the fight for
he goyernorship of New York
state. Both Governor Sulzer and
Lieutenant Governor Martin II.
1lynn signed official papers during
he day
Apart from this the only skirmish-
ng was the issuance by Sulzer OF a
eply to Glynn's defamation OF the
uggestion that their differences be
AIKEN at once to court. Sulzer de-
'lored the defamation pointing out
hat it will probably lead to
trouble and litigation
The purpose Of the suggestion he
'tated was to avoid the spectacle
# two prisoners claiming to act as
oyernor of this great state at the
anne time"
Glynn LETT his official fort on the
bird floor OF the capital early in
he afternoon but Sulzer stood by
lis guns on the lower floor through
)ut the day
Gov Sulzer's letter which ar
lived after Glynn had left, EN-
'hatically denied that his communi-
alton suggested a controversy over
cling taken into court or contained
ny suggestion that would "barte-
way any functions attached TO the
'ffice of lieutenant governor, but
simply that we seek a termination
t what you and my rights and
luties are at the present iuncture."
The letter continued:
by your statement that the
natter Is now for the highest au-
hority in the state--the court Of
impeachment | suggest to you is
cry inaccurate as the court of i'm
peachment will not convene until
september Is. The court is not to
determine who is to discharge the
luties OF governor pending the
raj of the charges presented to it
md of course could not in any event
determine the question before it
conyenes."
Mrs. Suizer who has been suffer
ng from a nervous breakdown
'pent a quiet afternoon and rested
more comfortable vonIght. Her
temperature was 1O2 and her pulse
1870.
L. J. Arnold, publisher of the AL
bany "Knickerbocker Press" and
one of Governor Suffers closest
Hounsellors announced tonight he
would undertake to form a national
law and order committee and de-
end Sulzer and drive graft out OF
lur public life and punish the politi-
al bosses to the fullest possible ex-
tent of the law"
Arnold's announcement embodied
I telegram received by him from
Thomas w. Lawson, now at Prince

Mummy Eyes

Mummy eyes, as they are called,
are taken from the bodies of Bolivian
mummies, but bear no resemblance to
the human eye. They look like glass
shells with gilt inside, and in spite Of
their being solid. they are delicate and
very easily broken. When exposed to
dampness the gilt appearance is lost
and they resemble a piece of yellow
crystal.
