woman should send her son with the
money to certain address and the
chickens would be delivered. About
two hours later the boy returned,
stating that he had given the Gull
prit the money and that he had dis
appeared. At least dozen cases of
a similar character have been re-
ported to the police in the past few
days and every effort has been made
to intercept the work of the thief
and place him under arrest.

scription of the man is in the hands

ance on Magistrate Leggatt's court.
Tuesday forenoon. A question was
up for adjudication that stirred the
whole colony.
While the case was put over 10 an
other day for settlement. neverthe-
less the situation appeared to be
about as follows: The son OF Nor
ris Hartmann drew upon himself
correction from his teacher, In the
Jewish school. The lad went home
and appealed to his father. Some
say that the lad made the situation
out a great deal worse than II was.
Anyway, the elder Hartmann was
stirred up to the extent that he i'm
mediately repaired TO the school and
slapped the face OF the teacher. Sam
Candy. The teacher thereupon. so
IL is alleged, turned upon the elder
Katzmann and gave him q good beat
ing. Some say the teacher used q
broomstick. and used 1t thoroughly.
In the process.
Following his chastisement at the
hands Of the teacher Mr.. Katzmann
caused the arrest OF the teacher. II
was this controversy that drew a
large crowd into court. Most OF the
patrons OF the school appeared to
feel that the authority OF the teacher
should be upheld.
