IF man has laid a charge Of witchcraft upon
a man and has not justified IL he upon whom
the witchcraft is laid shall plunge into the holy
river. and II the holy river oyer&me him, he
who accused him shall take TO himself his house."
In the Bible there are several prohibitions Of
witches. the most famous Of which is that in
Exodus xii, IS: Thou shalt not suffer witch
to live, The sorcerer is also condemned in the
New Testament. as may be seen by Acts will. 8.
and kill, 6. and other passages.
The earliest record OF a witch being burned
to death is dated 1875, the witch confessing that
she fed her offspring the flesh OF babes. At
Toulouse in 1885, sixty-three persons were ac-
cused OF being witches. eight of whom were
burned and the others Imprisoned for life. In
1924 Petronilla dc Mida was burned at Kilkenny.

i u that once resulted in the putting of women
to death for practising witchcraft? The police of
Newark, N j., are accused of indicating that they
think so by arresting the Rev Sarah Darling.
arraIgning and holding her in bail for trial as
a witch.
The Rev. Mrs Darling's arrest on this
charge is not only an extraordinary event in
itself. but what is said to be still much more
remarkable is the acknowledgment of the New
ark police that for q year and more they have
seriously been conducting war on witches
For this purpose, according to report, squad

minds of the guardians of Sewarks citizens

However that may be. the Rev. Mrs. Oar.
ling, who says that she is a regularly ordained
minister of Spiritualist church, grimly realizes
that It is up to her" to prove in court that she
does not commune with evil spirits, ride broom
stick and wear belcrowned hat.
"The Rev. Mrs Darling is witch within
the meaning Of the statute" declares Michael
Long, chief of the Newark police. THE in.
formation she gives out at her circles breaks
up homes. One man complained 10 US that his
wife had become a raving maniac as result
of the things the Rev Mrs. Darling told her II

GOOD HORSE SALE
ia Head Sold At Good Prices
Saturday

Owing to the unsettled weather
it was not until Saturday that the
sale of war horses was held at
the Ekalaka Sales Co. yards.
Messsers Protor and Walker of
So. Omaha, representing the
French buyers made the trip
from Belle Fourche to Ekalaka
through the mud and gumbo Fri
day, reaching here late in the
evening. Saturday brought on
spell of good weather and very
large number of country people
were in for the sales. Many who
had anticipated bringing in horses
did not do so, thinking that poss-
IDLY the sales were to be post
poned.
The sale commenced about 9
o'clock in the morning and con-
tinued until six in the afternoon,
during which time 112 head were
purchased. W. l. Maxwell sold
18 head; Edgar Wear, II; F. R.
Price, 13; Book Craft, 9; H. B.
Mayfield. 9; E. ]. Flasted. 8;
Smith brothers, 5; Geo. Cleveland
and S. P. LaBree, each 3 and w.
n. Cochran, 2. Besides these
several others desposed of one
and two head.
Those who brought in horses
and attended the sales were all
pleased with the manner in which
Messers Proctor & Walker selec-
ted and graded the animals and
the price paid. The Ekalaka
Sales Co. arranged with these
buyers to again come to Ekalaka
and the date for the next sale
has been set for July ID and Is.
This will be another opportune
time for horse raisers and owners
to dispose of their animals and if
the weather permits, Ekalaka
may look for a large crowd here
at that time.
