EXCITING INCIDENT (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Australian Press Association.—United Service) BUCHAREST, 19th July. An exciting drama occurred in a fashionable card club. A visitor, believed to be a distinguished and wealthy Brazilian, was playing with phenomenal luck. Suddenly a spectator, a young Rumanian aristocrat, drew a stiletto and drove it through the player's sleeve, pinning his arm to the table. During the ensuing uproar it was found that the stiletto had pierced an. ace and several court cards hidden in the sleeve. The cheat disappeared. He has since been identified as a Greek card sharper.
