The Übangis With the Circus

The Übangis are coming to town! Not the Campbell’s, but the Übangis —an aggregation of curious people? who, apart from an appearance at the French Colonial Exposition, and a short stay at Buenos Aires, have never before been upon exhibition. This group of eight duck-billed : women and five husky black male I warriors from the French Congo in ' charge of Eugene Bergonier, noted French explorer, provide the out- | standing new attraction of the i Ringling-Bamum circus appearing I here Friday, July 25, and one look at them makes the customers thankful they don t have to be a flapper i or drug store cowboy in the French Congo. The women w ith wooden disks worn i in their upper and lower lips present • a weird appearance, and one realizes j that ideas as iO feminine pulchri- ! tude vary with geographical lines. 1 The Übangi boys like the enormous ! and floppy lips sported by their women folk and who should say them nay? The group is headed by Chief Ne- j ! bia. who Ls accompanied by his two | wives, for one of whom he paid j | fifteen knives and the other twenty. | j Nebia among his own people in his j native clime is reputed to be a * mighty warrior able to kill a chargi ing buffalo at 200 yards with a na- ; five hunting implement, something like a cross between a boomerang ' and a musical triangle used in brass I bands. While the males speak a bit of j French their native patois consists jof but about 500 words. To hear the ! women of the group talking with I the disks clattering like castanets is something to be remembered, and the attraction answers the eternal Dogs Under Quarantine Bu Tim cm Special COLUMBUS, Ind., July 23.—Every dog here must be kept in strict ! quarantine for a period of at least ! sixty days, on order by Dr. Omer , VVoolridge, board of health secretary.

TORCH MURDER CLEWISBLANK New Angle in Schroeder Case Groundless. Clews connecting a young woman and a man to the High School road torch c&r mystery case proved groundless Tuesday when investigated by Sheriff George L. Winkler and city police, they admitted. The information indicated that Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile (Ala.) business man charged with arson and murder in the case, had accomplices in alleged slayi. _ of the man whose burned body was found in Schroeder's blazing car the morning of May 31. Schroeder denies killing the man, claiming the body is that of a hitch hiker who was killed when Schroeder fell asleep at the wheel cf his car and it went into a ditch. Investigators accuse Schroeder of having killed the unidentified man and point to an autopsy which shows death due to a knife or small caliber bullet wound in his right chest. Search is being continued in the south for R. L. Jones, formerly of Marysville, Tenn., to who Schroeder, while held in a southern jail after the tragedy, is alleged to have confessed he killed the man with a sharp screwdriver. Jones was a fellow prisoner in the jail, but disappeared since his release. Pioneer Woman Dies Bu Times Special BRAZIL, Ind., July 23.—Funeral services were held today for Mrs. Florinda S.
