POLICEMEN'S THIRST.
AMUSING RUSSIAN RUSE. BAIT FOR THE LAW. LOXDOX, May 0. The amusing side of the Russo-German quarrel is the fact that it originated from the thirst of two policemen. The latter arrested a Communist named Botzenhardt, in Wurteroburg, and were escorting him to Berlin, when Botzenhaidt offered to procure a drink from the Russian delegation in the building. The policemen fell into the trap and entered the building, where they state they were made prisoners for some time while Botzenhardt escaped during the confusion, and has not been seen since. (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
