A Bold Brieand.

Franz Csonka, famous 74-year-old
brigand, was hanged recently for MUIR
der at Essegg, In Slavonia. He smoked
his pipe to the gallows, slapped the
hangman on the shoulder and said to
him: "Do your job well; don't make a
fool Of yourself" He was the most
fearless of the band of Rosza Sander,
with whom he committed many rob-
berries and murders In the Bakonyer
forests. They were captured with diff
fculty twenty-five years ago, when
Csonka declared he would confess to
murders only, the rest being merely
child's play. He was sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment, from
which he was released year ago, but
soon after committed an unusually
atrocious murder, for which he was
executed. Rosza Sandor was sentenced
to Imprisonment for life, and died in
jail ten years ago. In Hungary he was

inal, but rather as hero Of romance.

horseman in Hungary, and great fay-
orite with the women. Kossuth ap-
pointed him leader Of corps of volun-
teers in 1S49. His father was a brig

forts-gent1e efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a cpnstipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and 70
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact. that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-

chase, that you have the genuine arti-

DARING ATTEMPT To ROB,
Two Ladies Held Up on the Cor.
ner of McAllister and Jones
Streets.
A Shabbily-D Dressed Young Man Tried
to Grab Purse and Struck One
in the Face.

One of the most daring attempts at high
way robbery ever attempted in this City
occurred last night on McAllister and
Jones streets in front of the Hibernia
Bank.
Mrs. Rix, 1867 Tenth street, and Mrs.
Kelly, % Ellis street, were standing on the
corner waiting for a car about o'clock.
The streets in the vicinity were crowded
with people at the time, and the ladies
were chatting pleasantly, never dreaming
that they were being closely watched by a
habbIly-dressed young man. Just as q
McAlhster streetcar approached the cross
ing the young man walked hurriedly up
TO the two ladies, and addressing Mrs
Rlx, the elder of the two, who had her
purse in her hand, said, Throw up your
hands-quick."
Mrs. Rix was completely taken by sur
prise, but as soon as she was able to speak
she blurted out. Il haven't got any
money" The young fellow made grab
for her purse, and she drew her hand
quickly behind her back. He struck her a
violent blow in the face with his cIenched
hist, and she staggered into the roadway.
Mrs. Kelly screamed, and several men who
were on the opposite side of the street
rushed over to see what was the matter.
The young fellow had followed Mrs.
Rlx, but when he saw the men coming
Jones street. He had made good his
escape before the ladies were able to tell
what he had done.
The two ladies went TO police headuuar-
ters and reported the attempted robbery.
Mrs. RIx's s face bore evidence of the blow
she had received, and she was smartipp
with pain and anger. They were unable
10 give any better description of the young
man than that he was shabbily dressed
very pale faced and looked like s.dope
tiend." They thought they could recog-
nize him again.
when he asked me TO throw up NV
hands, said Mrs. Rix. "I thought for the
moment he was fooling me, but he looked
SO wild and ro desperate that I quickly
changed my mind. did not expect the
young scoundrel would have struck me in
the face, ana the blow stunned me for the
moment"
The detectives were instructed to keep a
sharp lookout for the young fellow.
