I'll NUEVO DIAR1O, Caracas
- We have selected two Of the
most novel casualties spread
IL upon recent police reports for
the edification of our readers.
In the first case Roberto Vatendo, a
native Of Santa Lucia, in the English
Antilles, was enjoying himself merrily
in a reunion with some old-time friends
in an establishment in the pastoral
street of Ell Silencio. In the course Of
the convivial festivities Senior Vatendo
rose to vocalize an aria, but lost his
equilibrium and sat down violently upon
bottle that reposed in the posterior
duced a wound which required immedi-
ate attention at the Hospital Vargas.
The second case of unusual character
was that involving Miguel GARLIC and
Marcos PARA, who, discussing mat
ter Of intense mutual interest, but OF
divergent opinion, on the front seat OF
an automobile in the early hours OF
dawn, first came to vociferous argument
and then to a boxing match, as they
the car was not abated for the purposes
of this fistic encounter an alert police
agent interviewed, boarding Carrillo's
car while it was careening at top speed
and brought it to a standstill.
Carrillo, suffering mainly from some
enthusiastic drubs all over his body,
was conducted to the police station,
while PARA, with a blue eye not i'm
posed by nature and nose which had
| was transported to that haven OF all
unfortunates, the benevolent Hospital
Vargas.
