.JINx IS DISCOVERED
IN GERMANS CLOCK
Struck Thirteen on Friday and
Brought Much Bad Luck.

Amite City, La.-George Zollenburg
returned to his home near this city
after another ineffectuar attempt to
have the jinx taken out Of his grand
fathers clock The ancient timepiece
is to blame for long train of mis-
fortunes that started Friday, June 13.
1913. The following details have been
supplied by Mr. .Zollenburg:
The clock was brought to this coun-
try by Mr.. Zollenburg from the father
land The old time mill had never
missed tick or let a second slip by
unrecorded until noon on that fatal
Friday. While waiting for dinner Zol-
lenburg was surprised and alarmed to
hear the old heirloom strike thirteen
times for noon.
you'd better take that to some clock
mender in Hammond said the watch
fxer, and he put his hand behind him
as though the old Hmepiece were hot.
Zollenburg took the clock to Ham
mond and, not wishing to have it fixed
under false pretenses, told the jewel
ers there about it's having struck thir-
-
teen. Neither of the Hammond clock
smiths would have touched the hoodoo
with fishing pole.
Since then Zollenburg has taken the
clock to every expert near here, only
to have the job declined. That is not
all. Here are few of the things that
have happened since. for which he
blames the clock:

life back in Germany without leaving

truth as tells in favor of one side of
the case while suppressing all parts of
the truth which support the contention
of the other side" said Dr. Eliot "It
ought to be made clear in all these pro-
fessions that honor requires their mem
bers to appear in court only as i'm
partial expositors Of scientific truth so
far as it is ascertained.
