CALCUTTA India, April 28.-Spora-
die rioting between Hindus and Mo
hammedans which has been going on
for the past week, has cost the lives
of 45 persons thus far. The total
number injured is estimated at 375.
For the first time since the rioting
began the affected areas We're quiet
this morning, and the situation was
regarded as much improved. The i'm
provement probably is due to the re-
enforcement Of police by military
drafts and by a general roundup of
known bad characters.
The immediate problem which now
faces the authorities is the removal
of garbage, which has been allowed
to accumulate in the streets during
the trouble. In the present warm
weather the inSanitary conditions
caused are feared as highly conducive
to the outbreak of disease.

Three times Carrigan had made
excursions TO prove this, for he
had in mind q sudden rush to
the shelter OF the timber. Three
times he had raised the crown OF
his hat slightly above the top of
the rock, and three times the
Workmanship Of the other had
perforated it with neatness and
dispatch.
The third bullet had carried his
hat dozen feet away. Whenever
he showed q patch OF his clothing,
a bullet replied with unerring
precision. Twice they had drawn
blood. And the humor faded out
OF Carrigan's eyes.

There were the other kind In 1t,

But his present situation was
something unlike anything that
had ever happened in his previous
experience with the outlaWed. He
had faced dangerS He had
fought. There were times when
he had almost died. Fanchet, the
half.breed who had robbed q
dozen wilderness mail sledges,
had come nearest to trapping him
and putting him out Of business.
Fanchet was a desperate man
and had few scrupIes. But even
Fanchet-before he was caught

And then, with equal caution,
he slowly thrust up a flat piece
OF shale, which at. a distance of
a hundred yards might appear as
his shoulder or even his head.
Scarcely was 1t four inches above
the top Of the rock before there
came the report Of a rifle, and
the shale was splintered into a
hundred bits.
