A TRIAL OF HORROR.

The RC. Mission premises were also forcibly entered and clothing taken from the resident priest and those who had sought refuge under his care, including the city magistrate. Not only were the shopa of the city cleaned up, but in. numerous instances wanton destruction was inflicted on what could not be carted away. For example, in one provision

Full wine jars," which were suspected as hiding places for dollars, were dredged, and when search was unavailing, hand- fuls of lucifer matches were thrown in, thus contaminating the whole stock. A local barber, was eruelly relieved of all his paraphernalia and his shop wrecked.
