QUARREL ENDS IN FATAL SHOOTING
 AT HEALTH CAMP
fingered at Companion Health Seeker, Serbian Shoots and Kills Greek at Camp in Northeastern Part of City

Shot by Vasil Pandar, Serbian, during a quarrel last night at a tuber- cular camp on the old Fl Verde ranch at Eleventh and Portland streets, James Andoneu, a Greek also a health seeker, died at St. Joseph's hospital three hours later.
 Pandar was prevented from turning the pistol upon himself by the arrival of the police. Almost his first words to the officer were that he had ar rived too soon. Pandar was taken to the police station and held during the night, while his victim was taken to St. Joseph's hospital and hurriedly operated upon. The bullet had pene- trated the abdomen.
 According to persons living at the camp, Pandar and Andoneu had been friends until recently. Tuesday, how ever, after the two men had quarreled several times, Pandar went to the agent in charge of the renting of the mall houses in the camp and de- manded that Andoneu be forced to move. Pandar said the Greek was "no gentleman" that his conduct before the women of the camp was improper and that the Greek had called him foul names.
 Threatens to Shoot
 Yesterday, the day the rents on the houses were due, Andoneu paid his rent. When Pandar inquired as to why ne had been permitted to remain, tht gent told him that there was no evi- dence that Andoneu's conduct had no been gentlemanly and that he coulC not be forced to move.
 Shortly before the shooting, whicf occurred about ' o'clock, Pandar i. ] said to have remarked to the agen that he was going to shoot Andoneu 1 The agent remonstrated, although even then it was thought Pandar words were merely bluff. When Pan dar went after his pistol, a small .32 the agent called the police department | Officer Edwards rushed to the seen ! in a motor car.

 At the station last night Panda showed no evidence of regret over hi act and repeated his statement tha he would have shot himself too, bu for the arrival of the officers. He in sisted Andoneu had not acted a gentle man and that his remonstrances t the Greek on his conduct had met onl with foul names. According to th police, Pandar also remarked ths Andoneu, like himself, was a sick ma and could not have lived anyway.

Fortune Telling by Bones.

1t is strange that in the Transvaal
the belief in Kaffir doctors and their
wizardry has not died out. Nearly ev-
cry old Kaffir has always with him a
Rag of bones-knuckles and joints of
animals. With these he pretends to
be able to foretell the future. He
throws the "dolos," as they are called,
and then reads out the omens. Should
q white man wish to confer with the
oracle, he must throw the bones him
self. Many white men firmly believe
in the ability of the Kaflir doctor to
cure them from sundry ills, and in
Rhodesia there have been many cases
where the Kaffir doctors have saved
Whites from the ravages of the terrible
fcvers that rage there, in addition to
coping successfully with toothache and
other ills.
