BISHOP ROBBED
Reward for Acting Good Samaritan HELPED A “DRUNK” (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) Reed. 10.40 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. Bishop Chambers, of Tanganyika, who is taking a party of missionaries and nurses to South Africa, befriended a supposedly drunken man, who cannoned against him in a city crush 3resterday. The bishop saved him from falling by embracing him, and handed him over to two companions. Later on, as the bishop was entraining for Melbourne, he suddenly discovered that he had lost his wallet, containing £3B, a letter of credit for £l5O, and ten first-class boat tickets for Africa. It then dawned upon him that the man had merely feigned drunkenness, and relieved him of the wallet and its contents.
