A fragmented OCR item mentions a police captain and related names with unclear context. The readable parts point to a news brief about a police matter involving individuals and locations, but essential details are missing.
A humorous tale follows Private Triloch and Private MacKirtie in a tale of medals and pride. The story centers on Private MacKirtie who won a big medal and the reactions of comrades and a puzzled doctor as the medal becomes the focal point of pride and banter.
A fragmented medieval legend links Babylonian plunderers, Ezra, and a hidden ark, table, and seven branched candlestick. It traces their fate via Rome’s Arch of Titus, Capitoline temple, and Visigoth sack in 415 A.D. with doubts about the relics’ true fate.
Legends describe treasures hidden with King Alaric in the south after his death, with Goths routing villagers to seal the grave and perish to keep it hidden. Turkish authorities have briefly allowed digs near Jerusalem, but no relics have been recovered to date.
An inquest at Moora chaired by acting coroner Mr W Radston and jurors Ian Campbell Reg Parker and E Helliwell heard how a man visiting a dam near his residence found clothing and tracks in the water. He pulled the body from the dam, clothed in pyjamas with limbs bound by bagging. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death at Winchester and that he wilfully drowned himself.
