Thompson After Striking Him on Head With Club. Three unidentified white men, one armed with a club, attacked Joseph P. Thompson, 311 Thirteenth street southeast, in rear of his home last night and robbed him of his wallet, containing $266. Thompson, return- ing from a paint store, took a short cut through the alley in rear of his home and was about to enter his premises when the men grabbed him. Two of the trio pinned his arms be- hind him, the third member striking him on the head with the club, Thompson told the police. He refused hospital treatment for a scalp wound. Charles L. Harris, druggist at 316 43 street southwest, asked the polic to investigate a burglary at his pla: of business early today. The store was entered through a rear window and §20 worth of clgars and a quan- tity of tooth paste stolen.

While these white tribes have lived fn I'anama for years, have built fine homes and are agriculturists, there is danger of their being wiped out tho advance of industry, and it is Mr. Marsh's desire to have a reservation set aside for them. They do not own their land and may be pu off of it at any time, he says, but he be- lieves that this rac »uld be pre- served, and the only way is for them to be kept distinct from other civil- elements yming along with the advance of industry and taking up their lands.
