ing the action of the grand jury. During
the evening OF Tuesday, while a political
parade was attracting the attention of the
people OF Woonsocket, Trudell made the
acquaintance of a young girl named Hat
Tie Knight, aged about l2 years. Under
pretenSe of wanting to find the residence
OF a minister Irudell induced the girl to
show him the way. Having crossed the
railroad track, Trudell assaulted the girl.
She fought ilercely to defeat him, but his
british strength Overpowered her. His
lace was scratched in a fearful manner.
showing with what desperation the girl
fought his advances. Wednesday morn
at WoonsOcket Trudell was confronted
with the girl and she positively identified
him as the man who made the assault Oh
her. Trudell was held TO the circuit court
on the charge of committing rape.
This is not the first time Trudell has
been in trouble OF this kind. About four
years ago he was arrested on a similar
charge at Mitchell Of which he was con-
victed and sentenced to the penitentiary
for a term of years. There always seemed
to be a doubt as to his guilt, and a petition
was circulated to secure a pardon Tor him.
1t was successful and Trudell was par
doned by the governor.
Trudelrs crime created intense excite.
ment in Woonsocket, and for a time o
lynching seemed likely.

COrsican Banditti.

Two brothers, Cucchi by name. vii
lains of the deepest dye. found the
neighborh0od of .AjacciO too hot to
hold them, and resolved. relates 4 o Il
temporary, to take refuge in Sartene.
They found a small boat upon the
beach, and desired the owner to put
out to sea.
"Impossible!" said the man. The
boat is too small for such a voyage,
and would certainly founder"
DO as YOU are bid!" said the Cucchi,
covering him with their guns.
In these circumstances the boatman
had no alternative; so he got in, and
they pushed out to sea. But the waves
were high, and by a little dexterous
management he cOntrived to make his
boat rock in such a fashion that the
bandits became violently sick.
You see | was right" he coolly re-
marked, when his passengers seemed
sufficiently reduced. You will GER
tainly be drowned if you go on thus.
You had much better let me put you
ashore and go back for a stronger and
better boat"
$50 be it," gasped the bandits. "Oh,
anything is better than this"
They were put on shore, and in due
time the bOatman returned with a
larger boat; but at the bottom of it lay
four gendarmes disguised as sailors,
and the brothers Cucchi were taken
before they had time to discover the
trick.
A notorious bandit of the name Of
BaStanasi was Il man of considerable
erudition. had been educated at Pisa,
knew Latin. and had belonged to the
medical profession. On one occasion
he also was going to Sartene on a res
sci which stopped at Ajaccio. Know
ing that the gendarmes We're after
him, he did not attempt to land, but
as he had a fine voice and could also
play the guitar, to beguile the time
of waiting he got out his instrument
and began to sing and play. y fisher
man in the port recognized the voice
and likewise remembered the song. He
went and informed the authorities; and
it was thus through his love of music
that Bastanasi was arrested.

THE STRANGERS DEAD BABY.
Mute Sym pathy Proved hat They
Had Unknown Friends.

Monday, before the days hustle had
begun, says a Tacoma paper, a news
paper man saw passing along the oppo-
site side of the street a man going riv-
erward, bearing in his arms a tiny
coffin. His face bore the impress Of
intense sorrow, while down his cheeks
ran the hot tears, which 50 dimmed his
vision that, in spite of his e~ndeavors,
his steps were Wavering as he went on
ward with his precious burden. At his
side was a woman, evidently sorrow
stricken, but who spoke, soothingly as
her heart could, words of comfort to
the all but fainting maj at her side.
They were man and wife, strangers
here, and the burden that he bore was
their only child, that, in the evening
before, had suddenly died. Behind
them followed a friend, upon whose
shoulders was the rough pine box in
which the little coffin was soon to be
placed. This was all there was Of dis
play or Of c~ortcge-three Of them and
the dead baby! That they were poor,
there vas no question. That they were
strangers; that there was dearth Of
sympathy and c%ountenance of their loss
by the world about them, was most APP
parent. Some one-great-hearted and
understanding near, said:
perhaps they have need Of help; let
us go and see"
Another said: None seem to know
them"
Then some II asked: Have they no
friends in their distress?'
The answer to the questioning ca1ne
quickly; for, impulsively, the reporter
and those near him stepped behind the
man who carried the rude pine box.
Soon another and yet another joined in
the procession as it passed onward up
Water street. Spontaneously, so it
seemed, people Joined the ~cortege-why,
they knew not-from shop, saloon,
storehouse and Office, so that by the
time the wharf was reached there was
a great crowd Of our people who, moved
by q common impulse, were there
showing by their kindly ways the ever
present sympathy III II human neart
for other hearts in sorrow and distress.
And when the tiny coffin had been
placed, by hands the parents never
knew, in the little pine box preparatory
to being put on the Willapa boat, a lad
who had just landed a cargo Of frag-
ant flowers, for sale upon the streets,
placed a wealth Of white lilies and for
get-me-nots over the baby's quiet
breast. The mother looked her unut-
terable thanks, while the father, after
silently gazing into the sympathetic
faces about him, turned his fearful eyes
~heavenward and said prayerfully:
blessed be the name Of the Lord!
Though I am in the land Of the strang-
er, yet l am surrounded by friends"
