mind was full of other things, but | re-
member still the number OF people as
sembled on the bridge, and how a man
was standing up in his donkey cart to
view the scene.
1t was Saturday, and there were guam
titles of village school boys sitting
astride on the low wall, or perched on
adjacent hurdles, evidently enjoying the
spectacle, iostling, bawling, eating
oranges and throwing the peel at the
engine. Some older people touched
their hats sympatheticaly, and one went
and opened a gate for us into the field
through which many feet seemed to have
come and gone, but for the greater
number the event was evidently re-
garded as an interesting variation in the
dull routine of everyday life, and to the
school boys it was an undOubted treat.
Ralph and Charles walked on in front
following the track across the field. 1t
was not particularly heavy walking
after what we had had earlier in the
day, but Ralph stumbled perpetually,
and presently Charles drew his arm
through his own and the two went on
together, the police Inspector following
with me.
In a few minutes we reached the farm
and entered the farmyard. which was
the nearest way to the house. A little
knot of calves intrinched on mound of
straw in the center of the yard lowered
their heads and looked askance at us as
we came in, and party of ducks re-
treated hastily from our path with a
chorus of EXPLANATIONS, while a thin
colly dog burst out of barrel at the
back door and made series of gym
naSticS at the end of chain, barking
hoarsely, as if he had not spared him
self of late.
An elderly woman with red arms met
us at the door. and on whisper from
the police inspector first shook her head,
and then, in answer to further whis-
per, nodded at another door, and voice
calling her from within hastily diSap-
pearrd.
The inspector opened the door she had
indicated and went in. | with him,

hung back with Ralph, who seemed too
much dazed to notice anything in heaven
above or the earth beneath. The door
opened into an clubhouse, roughly paved
with round stones, where barrels. slaves
and divers lumber had been put away.

AS many as three letters are often sent II
the victim proves recalcitrant, when some
overt act is committed that conVinceS him
that the society is no mere joke. He finds
suspicious looking men lurking around his
dwelling. They follow him home at night,
track him wherever he goes, evidently wait
ing for a favorable opportunity to strike the
blow. and they make his life so utterly mis-
cradle that he finally surrenders and gives
the money. ,-.-,
Thousands of dollars have been obtained
bv the assassins in this way and scarcely a
prominent Italian but has been plundered
bv these Indicators.
AS a general thing, they have kept silent
under these prosecutions, believing that
the interference of the police, instead OF
benefiting them, would result only in some
tbin6 worse. One of them, however, Mr..
Rem Onorato. one of the wealthiest Italian
residents of New Orleans, complained to
Mavor Shakespeare. He said that he had
been numbered of thousands of dollars by
these criminals and that his life had been
made miserable by their threats. He was
promised all the aid of the police to protect
him. but at the last moment he became
alarmed and refused to furnish the author
tiles with the papers which might have
beIned TO track the blackmailers.
This mode of brigandage IS attributed 10
Esposito. who, during his long residence
in New Orleans, reorganized ms ola gang
on this new basis, which was found so mucn
more satisfactory than the Slcliiah pan ol

to get some evidence in this case and to
maze some arrests. Before the trial came
ND. however, another assassination follow
ed. the victim being Camille Victoria, one
of the witnesses in the case. IL was re-
markably bold crime. but the police have
not the slightest clew as TO who committed
it, Victoria was playing cards with some
/ friends in an Italian restaurant and club
house. There were five men at the table
with him and several women and children
around. The room was in the rear OF the
house and private alleyway ran back Of It,.
Suddenly the short barrel of folding gun
was thrust in the window, near where We
toria sat and the muZzle placed close 10 the
back of his head There was report, and
the next moment Nictoria's brains were
scattered over the table and cards and even
over his friends. They sprang up.
There was no one in the alleyway but
woman and a child she had seen no man
pass. The police arrested everybody IN or
about the house for it seemed impossible
| for the crime to have been committed with
ont their collision. but not Sclntllla OF
evidence was ever procured, and the muir
der of Victoria must be closed with the
many other unexplained assasslnations oil
| New Orleans. No one Will ever know
whether Victoria was killed TO prevent
suspected him of treachery. He was the
last member of his family, his father and
brother having been both assassinated In
the same way.
II would be useless to 90 over all the
other transformations, the story is so similar
i'm all respects The victim was either
wavlaid. as Hennessey was, or shot from
behind like Victoria The murderers never
gaye him the slightest chance TO defend
himself. They fire from ambush; II posi-
bile they shoot or stab from behind Nearly
ali the wounds inflicted by them are in the
back of the head. In this way Antonio
Ferrara. Antonio Bonardo, Panic Vitrano,
Antonio Labruso, Andrea Bonneto, Pietro
Vitrano, Colone Nicola, Pietro Grogeo D.
EGO Couieso. Juliano Casano, Agostino Eel

Their deaths were unavenged unless the
relatives took up the cause and declared
vendetta.

Bitten by a Maddox.

A rabid dog made its appearance
in Colora On Monday morning and
bit several dogs. The animal kept
on the move hating only long
enough to fly at every living thing
to which it came near. Tne most
distressing occurrence of the occa :
sion was the biting of son of Theo
Sharpless, about 8 or 10 years old
The dog bit the boy in the calf of
the leg making a severe wound. The
following despatch from correspon-
dent gives graphic account of the
mad day tragedy:
"We had quite an exciting time in this
vicinity this morning with a mad-dog.-
Well, if he was not mad he was the worst
behaved dog that ever passed through this
section. The first we hear of him was at
VIM. w. Moore's early in the morning,
when he appeared at the kitchen door. The
kind hearted Josephine, thinking he was
hungry, gave him admission for moment
when he was turned out; from there to
VIM. Coale's. Had a round with his old
setter and black cat. A small girl ran at
him with broom, he flew at the broom and
after tearing at it made off down the road;
turned into Sam. Reynolds, had fight
with two dogs passed on into the road near
VIM. Sharpless, bit small dog at Charlie
Reynolds; on TO John Cummings, in the
front yard had a fight with his dog thence
on TO THEODORE Sharpless' now comes
the sad part of my report. Not finding any
dog to attack he was chasing the chickens
and Sharpless' son, small boy, went out to
drive him away. He jumped at the boy
and caught him by the leg, inAicting a
severe wound. DR.. Crothers cauterized the
wound but not for some time after he was
bitten The dog then went down through
Colora, up the road to Thos. Warnings and
bit two dogs Oh to John r. Coale's, on the
porch, were he bit two dogs. Coale opened
the door to see what the fracas was about
and the dog made for him. He hustled
round and getting his gun fired one shot
out the window-clean miss; yenturing out
fired again but without effect. The dog
kept on down Wallace road, stopped on
SAINT McCardell's porch his daughter at
temped to drive him off when he jumped at
her throat but fortunately did not bite her;
on to j. B. Kennards, where he bit two
fine hogs and a dog. Kennard raised an
alarm and followed him 10 Oliver Nesbitt's,
who by this time had his gun in hand and
killed him. The dogs that were bitten were
shot at once"
DR.. Dare, DR.. Crothers and DR..
Ellis, Of Elkton. were summoned,
and the bitten boys wound was
dressed, and the matter of sending
him to Paris for treatment by Pasteur
was seriously discussed. A meeting
was held on Tuesday night, by the
citizens Of Colora, to consider what
course should be pursued, but moth
ing definite was determined upon.
A small dog which had been about
Haines' mill for some time suddenly
took fit on Tuesday and jumped at
George Wright, the miller. He kick.
ed the brute and got out of its reach
by jumping up on something. The
animal was got out of the mill and
soon despatched by Jim Mace
knocking it in the heap with large
wrench.
