NO "PARIS TERRORS."
Captain Lees Says the Stories About
Them Are "FakeS."

''No; there is nothing in it. It's nothing
more than hoax-a newspaper fake"
Thus spoke Captain Lees yesterday when
shown the dispatch in The CALL from
Ishpeming, Mich, stating that Armal Sher-
man had been shot to death there under cir
cumstances making ii appear that his death
was the work of Paris Terrors." In tile
dead mans pocket was found note. saying
that he had violated the laws Of the society
of Paris TerrOrs" ten years ago, aud had
since been pursued by one OF Its members,
who overlook him in San Francisco. In 1886.
and followed him TO Ishpeming. Anthony
Murray, workman IN the lumber camp Of
which sherman was oyerseer, was arrested
on suspicion of having murdered Sherman.
and the telegram states that the prisoner ad-
mitted his guilt; that he said that Sherman
fell under the ban of the society because
he failed 10 perform a certain task allotted
to him in Paris, and, as result. two men,
bers were guillOtined.
"Oh. yes" continued the chief OF the local
detective force. after he had read the dis
patch second time. ut reads very plausi-
Bile, but all these stories that are started
from time to time about Paris Terrors' and
similar organizations, are fakes OF the worst
kind. They do not exist, and yarns about
their diabolical prosecutions and ven
geances, are hOaXeS OF the worst kind. We
have the latest adyice5 of all such criminal
organizations from all over the world, and
can positively state that the Paris TeTrors'
exist only in Imagination" and CAPTAIN
Lees looked as though he knew just what
he was talking about. No one, however,
dared TO dispute his assertions.

ALL FEARED THE BOMB"
A Supposed Dynamite Death-Dealer
That Caused Commotion.

Washington Post.
The tediousDess OF red tape and the desire
to shift responsibility were illustrated in the
Post0fice Department few days ago. Some
time ago Henry G. Rising, the Postmaster
al Marshall. Mo-. reported to the Postoffice
Department that railway postal clerk had
discovered a dynamite bomb in bis car
among the mail and left il with him. The
Postmaster wrote the department asking
what he should do with the bomb. This
letter was turned over to the chiefs of five
and forth for a number of days, when it
finally turned up in the desd-letter
office. The chief clerk of the dead
letter Office carried the letter to the
chief of the railway mail service,
but that official decl ned to have anything
to do with it, for the reason that the bomb
was not in the custody Of any mail clerk.
but that il was deposited in a D0stoffice, and
therefore it was matter for the dead-letter
Office 10 deal vi 18th. Finally some one settled
the problem and tore aside the barrier of
red tape by ordering that the bomb be
turned over to the Police Department of the
town Of Marshall. The chief of the dead
letter Office has been in his present place for
the past thirty years. aud said that in view
OF his rast experiences in that line he was
inclined to think that this might not be
bomb after all. Several years ago. he said,
the department was frightened over
dynamite bomb scare, the weapon having
been sent to the dead-letter Office. lie
had the instrument of death examined care
fully by an expert. IL was said that the
powder could be seen exuding from the
larger end of the bomb. and everyb body
about the Office was frightened to death as
long as it remained in the building. The
expert found that tpe "bomb" was nothing
but the handle of an old whip that some
body had sent to friend as memento,
and what appeared to be the powder was
only the scrapings of the black cement that
held the end If the whip TO the brass end OF
the socket. The chief clerk is inclined TO
think that this thing is of the same eharae-
ter. certainly as harmless, and the police
of Marshall will be left TO wrestle with the
problem and solve the mystery.
