This punishment is as peculiar as
most Chinese punishmcuts are The
man is seized by four or five stalwart
attendants, thrown ON his face, his
loose pyiamas rolled up so as TO eX-
pose the iicshy part of the back OF his
thighs Heis firmly held outstretched
in this position by men at his head
and feet Two operators then squat
down opposite one another on each
side of the victim One takes a strip
of seasoned bamboo about three feet
long and one inch wide, and begins
lightly spanking the backs of the
thighs lie gives twenty Of these ap-
parenty harmless spanks, and then
hands the bamboo 20 his vis-a-yis, who
gives his twenty, and then hands II
back; and so on, turn about, until the
two hundred blows are administered.
AT first the punishment looks ridicu
louslv light; bat by the time the
first fifty blows are reached the skin
of the parts beaten begins TO assume
the appearance of thick wash leather;
and before the hundredth blow the
skin begins to fly of in loose white
flakes; 10y the time two hundred blows
have been struck, the whole of the
back of both thighs looks like
mass Of swollen raw liver, thougk
not a drop Of blood flows from the
parts IL is said that man would
expire under the eXcruciating torture
of two hundred and fifty Of these
blows. / have never seen anything
like the exquisite agony depicted in

Bnl Bra1elton's Death.

y gentleman from Tucson, \. T., in
the lobby of the National hotel, spoke
Of one Of the desperadocs - his town:
Il want to tell you that the first and
greatest lone highWayman in this
country lived IN Tucson, and his name
was Bill Braze.ton 1t has now been
seven or eight years since he was
killed. While he lived he was the
terror of southern Arizona, and he did
all of his work single handed. He
used 10 work in a livery stable in Tue
son. He was a young fellow who did
not say much, but was all the time
practicing with his revolver when he
was not at his work. lie was the
most active, powerful young man |
ever saw.
He got so he could turn a sOmersault
with his pistol i'm his hand, and as he
came up hit "a half dollar every time,
twenty-five yards away. He could
shoot in every position, whether stand
ing. running or riding, and every time
he pumped the bulls eye. Sud
denly he left town, and it was not long
till we heard of his robbing stages all
alone. lie had nerves Of steel, and
did not seem to be afraid of anybody
or anything The greatest efforts
were made to capture him, but he
eluded all OF his puIsuers. He seemed
to be here, there and everywhere at
the same time.
Finally it was suspected that
hostler working in tine stable where
Brazelton had been employed knew
something of him. He was taken out
on the edge of town and hung up till
he waralmOst dead when he agreed
10 confess, on condition that Brazelton
should be shot outright, as he would
Kill any man who betrayed his secret
at the first opportunity. The hostler
said he was 10 goout to meet Brazelton
that very night and take him some
thing to eat. He was to wait belinda
log IN a certain piece of woods
"A party of six well armed men took
the hostler and went with him TO the
place OF rendezvous. They all lay
down behind the log and waited for
Brazelton BY and by he rode out of
a thicket into an open space and came
slowly toward the unsuspected am
bush. lie carried his pistol in his
hand, as if suspecting that things were
not all right When IN thirty yards
of the log the whole party rose and
fired, killing both horse ana rider IN
an instant. 1t was ono of the most
dramatic incidents that ever occurred
about Tucson IN those troublesome
days. Brazeltous body was riddled
with balls He was brought TO town
and the next morning he was propped
up against an adobe wall and had his
photograph taken, and tho local pho
tographer has today in his showcase a
ghastly illustration of the triumph Of
his art. Washington Post. :
