Cocoons Pierced,

On the night of the 14th inst., two of the leading, men of the Fujita Oo. were sacn talking-together privately in Fujita's own house, and at about 11 o'clock a man left the place, apparently with a mesange. A detective who was on watch followed him, but as the man went into the branph-office of the Co. at Do jima he left him, thinking he had been sent on an ordinary errand. Soon after this, three large cart-loads of goods-what they were can of course only be conjectured were brought out of For Fajita's house, and were taken away to some place unknown. It is supposed that Fujita got wind of the danger threatening him, for when the police searched the house and godowns nothing was found but about 250 gen, in gold, silver, and paper. The floors were taken up, and the place in which the idols were kept was examined, but no more money was discovered. The books of account were found-all but the principal one; and thus the most important link in the chalu of evidence is missing. Hiogo News,
