WANTED TO FIGHT.
And His Son Gave Him His Fill, and

And His Son Gave Him His Fill, and
More, Too.
A dozen of us sat watching a game OF
quoits at a summer-resort hotel in New
Hampshire, when little old man, who
looked as If he might have lived for Gen.
fury, came skating around with chip Oh
his shoulder, and, after parading up and
down in front of the group, he said:
Nobody dasn't do it! l kin lick the
man who knocks this chip off my shout
derv'
His defiance was so inconsistent with his
white Iiair and tottering legs that everybody
laughed, but he spit on his hands, jumped
up and knocked his heels together, and
shouted in his cracked voice:
"Jest agree not to take the law on me and
III lick the best man in the crowd FL leave
1t to. 'Sqnar' johnson if | hain't had over
fifty fights in this county and made the other
teller holer every timer
At that moment boy about 16 years OF
age, who proved to be son, came up and
said
"Come, dad; we'd better be going''
Not yit, Bill" was the reply. "Pve
come up here to lick somebody, and I'm
a-goin' to do it before l go home. Put chip
on my shoulder, Bill, and I'll dare anybody
to knock it of"
Come, father, these men don't want tc
fight"
But Pm spilln', Bill. I've got to maui
somebody or bust. I've bin growin' can
tankerous fur six weeks and the climax has
come. Whoop! I'll give anybody two
year-old steer to call me liar. Who'll look
eross-eyed at me fur S5?"
The boy grabbed the old man by the col
lar and hip gave him side twist, aud next
instant he was standing on his head and
being held in that position. The son took
matters very calmly, and while he held his
father thus he explained
/ know Just what to do with dad. When
him in this fashion,"
q give up. Bill; I'm licked mani
yelled dad " on the heels of the explana-
ton; and as he was let up and started for
home he continued:

bite, kin lick hoss-barnful Of SIGH fellers

A FUGITIVE BANDIT.
Robber Antonio Had a Long
Experience in Italy.
CRIPPLED BY MANY BULLETS.
The Two Highwaymen Removed to
Portiand-Itaiy Has n Price on
the Head of the Elder.

Jaoarar Antonio and Ferrelli Josephi. the
Italians who were charged with bunkoing Frank
sale out of $1,000, were landed safely in Port
iand yesterday in charge of Detective simmons,
ana will shortly be given a hearing upon a
charge of robbing David Reggeti of $3.50 and
gold watch and chain.
The prisoners are even more hardened crimi-
mails than the police surmised. Antonio, who is
ABOUT % years old, and has the appearance of q
respectable retired merchant, is crippled BY
many bullet wounds, that he limps when he
walks. 1t has just been discovered that he fed
iroin the authorities at Rome three years ago
and came TO America. A reward is still offered
py tne Italian government for his capture on a
charge OF being bandit, and it is said that at
one time, years ago, he was the leader of an
organized band of outlaws. He was cap
iuieo AFTER being almost shot TO pieces,
ana was placed i'll prison along with several of
MS men, who afterward died of the wounds re-
eei'ed In their fight with the police. For long
time Antonio lay in prison and once attsm pied
10 escape, when he was shot in the left breast,
the puliet coming ont at his back. 1t was
thought he could not live and for q month he
lay IN prison hospital at Rome, attended by a
physician.
owing to his great physical weakness the
prison officials did not think it possible for him
TO escape, but he did, and in manner still I'M
known 10 the guards. All that is known is that
@AANNAA4S . ~Ns was AtuIN 70 De empty one me
morning, and nothing was heard from the willy
outlaw for several years, when he again came to
the front as the leader of half dozsn banditti
Three years ago the police pressed the gang
close, and Antonio concluded that, since he
was getting old, he would not trus, TO another
brush with the 'bloodhounds of the govern
ment," so he quietly left the country and came
to America, where he has since resided.
When Antonio was in Jail here he was &C.
cused OF being an Italian bandit. and was
asked If he was not aware that his native gov
eminent had a premium for his scalp. He
owned up, finally, that such was the case, and
he further expressed the hope that In Portland
the authorities would find him guilty of robbiug
Reggeti and send him to the penitentiary, for
he says he would rather be in an American pri-
son than be returned to Italy and stand his
chances of losing his head under the knife of
the bloody guillotins.
The aged prisoners body is marked and
SCARED all over as a result of wounds, and his
limbs are ill-shapen through being broken and
not receiving proper care when the knitting OF
the bones began. On his left breast is huge,
black scar as large as two silver dollars, and
his right hip and side are covered with black
scars, caused by charge of buckshot fred
many years ago by some one who very prob
ably lost his life in return for the assault.
