DEATHS CREDITED TO DEMONS
Superstitious Hindus Excited Over
What They Look On - . su-
pernaturai Happening. -

The superstitious Hindus are
greatly excited over strange affair
near Rawa,pindi, where there is .
small camp of Sadhus or Sanniyasis,
those Hindus who have given up
everything for life of modification,
and sit about clothed in ashes. The
Pindi camp generally consists of
about a dozen men, but the number
varies, because from time to time
some members pick up their begging
bowls and 60 off on their travels
about India. On the night Of the
tragedy there were seven men in the
camp. What really happened in the
still hours of the night it is impos-
sible to say, but in the morning the
bodies of three of the Sanniyasis
were found tied to trees and terribly
mutilated. Two were quite dead ard
the other man was dying. The re-
naming four men were covering
round a fire, muttering charms and
in a great excitement and fear. 1t
soon became noised abroad that the
murder of these holy men was not
the work of human beings at all,
but of>the Rakshas or demons who
in the days of old inhabited the
earth and now had come back again.
The story spread with marvellous
rapidity throughout the city, with
the result that there was a panic
and all business ceased for several
days.
