INDIAN TROOPS BORN FIGHT
.ERs WRITES GERMAN HOME
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 26.-The Frank
further Zeitung publishes the follow
ing letter from German officer, COM
menting on the prowess of Britain's
Indian troops
To-day for the first time we had to
fight against the Indians, and the devil
knows those brown rascals are not to
be moderated. At first we spoke with
contempt of the Indians. Today we
learned to look at them in a different
light. For three days we were shelled
continuously; the British thought we
were poundered into a jelly, so they
sent us little surprise in the shape of
visit from their brown allies.
Satan only knows what the English
had put into those fellows! Those who
stormed our lines were either drunk
or possessed with an evil spirit. With
fearful shouting, in comparison with
which our hurrahs were like the
whining of a baby, thousands of these
brown forms rushed upon us as sud
denly as if they were shot out Of fog.
I'VE opened destructive fire at a
hundred yards 1t moved down hun
dreds, but in spite of that the others
advanced, springing forward like cats
and surmounting our obstacles with
unexampled agility. In no time they
were in our trenches, and truly these
brown enemies were not to be despis-
ed. With butt-ends, bayonets, swords,
and daggars we fought each other, and
we had bitter hard work until our re-
Inducements arrived and we drove
them out of the trenches"

Of CRIME.

A possible murder OF suicide mys-
terry was investigated by the police
Thursday on the finding OF woman's
hat, clothes and purse on the side OF
a ten-foot pool at the end OF the Hill
street sewer near Ormond street in
Grant Park.
Chief Beavers. Immediately on
learning Of the find, Sent a squad Of
men with drags to go over the bottom
Of the pond in the expectation of find
ing the murder or suicide victim.
First news of the probable tragedy
came to police headquarters Thurs
day noon over the telephone A resi-
dent living in the vicinity called ex-
citedlv and told of the finding of the
clothes. He gave only a scant de
scription of the garments, but indi-
Gated that they must have belonged
to woman fairly well-to-do.
The police believed that If the
clothes and purse we're not a belated
April Fool hoax it was case OF sui
eide, The leaving of the clothes by
the side OF the pool indicated deiib-
crate intention. So far as the Chiei
was able to learn from his excited in
formant there were no signs OF a
struggle about the waters edge
Neither did he report any marks oil
identification in the garments.
