great that he would accept neither the 10 000
lire reward offered him nor a free pardon,
nor any other compensation, considering
himself sufficiently paid by having done in
twenty-four hours what ministers, projects,
and an army of carabineers had been unable
to-accomplish.
From that time he gave up his murderous
expeditions and enjoyed in peace the fruits
of his robberies. He Kept herds of cows and
pigs and fiocks of sheep and goats. He lived
in a cave on an almost inaccessible noun
tain peak. to which the path was known
only to himself and his brother The cave
was separated from the path by precipice,
over which Corbeddu passed on the trunk
of small tree, drawing the trunk after him
into the cave. On one occasion a daring
thief discovered Corbeddu's hiding place and
robbed him of a quantity of the stores he
had accumulated. He would frequently sur
prise the mouflon hunters and show them
the best district in which to look for game.
Though Sandman, he almost always spoke
Italian, and manifested great disdain for
the other outlaws, whom he called guastam-
estieri, or trade spoilers" Lately he
seems to have got into the bad books of the
carabineerS, by whom he was killed after a
hard fight some three weeks ago.
