Very strange is the adventure through
which postman named Boudon has
Just passed az Mines. He had taken a
registered letter to one Faure, a shoe
maker. and was about to leave the house
when the man closed the door, pulled n
revolver ont OF his pocket. and rushing
ON Boudon threw him down and bound
him securely. He then informed the
terrified pcstman Of his intention to re-
tain him as u hostage until he had re-
ceived divers letters written TO him by
the president Of the republic and the
minister of Justice in reply to his appli-
cation for the restoration OF 10000 francs
lost ia a lawsuit.
Faure seut note to the head of the
postal department explaining how mat
tiers stood aud while awaiting an an
swer barriraded his apartments. When
the police arrived he called ont that he
had provisions FOR week, two revolvers
and plenty Of ammunition, and that II
they attempted TO force the door he
would kill his prisoner. The situation
was extremely awkward. The affair
| had become known in the neighborhood,
and the adjacent streets were soon
thronged with at least 5000 of the towns
people
| a last attempt to parley with the in
furiatcd shoemaker having proved abor-
tive. the police and gendarmes broke
into the place. fired n few shots to
frgh,en Faure. and. succeeded IN Sc
curely taking him into custody ere he
bad time To carry out his threat, They
had great difficulty in conducting him
to prison. az the crowd wanted to lynch
him. Fuure is described as a nonoma-
mac. ana it appears that when NJ. Car
