There are miles of wild and unmatched
river front, and the agents are selected
for their knowledge of the country and
their skill in strategy and watercraft.
They work only on the darkest nigh is,
and use very small boa If they fail
in landing goods in sa .tv they get no
pay. So vigilant and expert are they
that the percentage of their failure to
their success is very small. There are
numerous citizens of the Canadian
border conspicuous for their prosperity
who owe the foundation of their COM
petencies to the commissions they
gained in delivering safely Canadian
goods free of duty to American pur-
chaSerS.
Eggs and butter were formerly
largely struggled from Canada to
American markets, even before they
were made dutiable. A small entry fee
was collectable on them, but the Can
adam traders objected to that, and
were in the habit of packing large
quantities of eggs and butter in loads
of hay that were sent over to this side.
The hay was subject to duty, payment
of which could not well be avoided,
but the eggs and butter which the
trader succeeded in getting over free,
hidden in his hay, more than made up
for the duty on that. Since a regular
duty was placed on eggs more atten-
ton has been paid to loads of Can
adian hay by customs officers, and
these importations do not afford the
safe hiding places for eggs they once

CANADIAN SMUGGLERS.
How They Get Their Merchandise
Across Niagara River.
A Remunerative Business That Has Been
Carried on for Number of Years
Under the Noses of Gus
toms OGIiclals.

"There has always been more or less
smuggling carried on across the Mag
ara river, and all Che watchfulness Of
government agents seems powerless
to prevent it." said customs officer,
according to the New York Sun. THE
principal part Of this border SNUG
Cling is from Canada to this side. The
only articles there is any profit in get
ting from this side into Canada free
are kerosene and lager beer. Our
kerosene is so much superior to the
oil made from Canadian petroleum in
every way, and il could be sold so
much cheaper than the native prod
uct, that the Dominion government
levies heavy duty on it. Such is the
case, also, with our beer. The bust
ness of smuggling these two articles
across the river is not so extensively
carried on as it was four or five years
ago, as the Canadian authorities dis
covered the ingenious method by
which it was made an easy matter to
cheat the customs officers, and estab-
lished a regular river patrol with in
structions to keep an eye out entirely
for the detection of the oil and beer
free traders. But they stirl manage to
do profitable business in this class of
smuggling.
THE way the oil and beer are taken
across the river is by weighing the
barrels or kegs on one end so that only
the head appears above water, and
that only for an inch or two, A tow
of barrels thus sunk is attached to
rOwboat, which slSillful riverman
rows across at night. If the river
patrol discovers the boatman, and the
latter is likely to be overhauled, he
cuts the ropes that fasten the tow to
his boat. The barrels are thus cast
adrift, and the smuggler has nothing
in his possession for which the officers
may apprehcnd him when they come
up These lows frequently escape de-
lection by the government agents, as
the barrels float away in the darkness,
and watchful companions of the boat
man, who has cut them adrift, hover
ing about on the river, generally sue
coed in recovering them, and proceed
with them to their destination. In the
early days of this oil and beer smuggl-
ing the points from which it was chiefly
carried on were Lewiston and Youngs.
town. The goods were taken to ST.
GATHERINGS and other places on the
Canada side. Nowadays the Struggled
goods can be landed only at out-of-the-
way localities where landings may be
made secretly, and all sorts of sub
terfuges have to be adopted to dis
tribute them successfully among the
men who take the chances in dealing
in them.
There is no doubt but what there
are scores of Canadian merchants who
regularly employ agents to smuggle
goods purchased on that side of the
river to those who purchase them on
American side. The number of people
who go to Canada and buy dress goods
and clothing, not to sell again, but for
their own use, and arrange with the
merchants to deliver them duty free,
is surprising. The smugglers who take
the chances of delivering the goods at
the American points agreed upon work
on commission, which is division of
the sellers profits on the articles.

upon the officers. After killing Rey-
nolds and Holmes they overlook the
stage, which had stopped as soon as
Middleton heard the firing, and, with a
rife, Middleton was shot off the box.
From the moment he first heard the
firing until he was shot, Middleton kept
the Kid and his fellow prisoner on the
stage under cover OF q six.shOoter. OF
course after the shooting of Middleton
the Kid escaped with the other Indians
and has since been desperate out
law.
Middleton subsequently recovered
from the wound he received. Six of
the eight Indians who escaped have
since been killed in attempts to capture
them. One Is in Yuma after being
tried as a party to the murder of Rey-
nolds and Holmes. The eighth, the
Kid. is vet at large.

knowledge that the whole world is his

That he eludes capture is not
strange. He is an adept at wood and
field craft. He keeps the Indians in
terror by threats to kindap their wives
and children, to such an extent that they
do not heartily engage in the hunt for
him. they fear to undertake and fail
to effect his capture. He is not drawer

Of people since his escape, yet those
who know are disposed TO attribute
