The case was started with ten
jurors in the box After both the

proceedings started with ten
jurors.

One of the most peculiar hunting ex-

Client walls built to protect 1t from In
yaders, and hidden In various places
in these walls are hordes of scorpi-
ons which often become menace TO
the population. In order to keep down
the number of these pests, said to be
death-dealing, bonus Is offered BY
the municipality and regular hunts
are organized. The hunts take place
at night when the hunters, armed with
lanterns, poke around the walls and
dislodge the scorpions. The next day
they carry them to the town officials
and collect the money due them as
reward. 1t frequently happens that
they must wait upon the pleasure Of
that official, when they while away the
time by making their ferociouas cap

on the results, and II often happens
that members of the waiting party
