London, April s.-The fighting at
Nankana, India, in which about 13O
persons were killed, was restricted to

That at Nankana is the wealthiest of
them, it's annual income, derived lar

to tens Of thousands Of pounds. The
Mahants, who are in charge Of such
shrines, regard themselves as life ten

their religious duties.
