TROUBLING ITALY.
Because of a Bandit the Government
Seeks Revenge.

The doings of the brigand. Mussolino
are now attracting attention through
the whole of Europe, thanks to the eX-
| traordinary fashion in which the TIA
liam authorities are proceeding.
Something like a thousand soldiers
are quartered in the district in addi-
ton to hundreds of gendarmes and po-
lice and full general in command of
the operations.
The effect of all this has been to in
crease popular sympathy for the bri-
gand and render even more difficult the
task of laying him by the heels. The
soldiers and police are all treating the
inhabitants of Reggie Calabrin as ac-
completes of Mussolino and are NAL
treating men in an abominable man
ner. Honest peasants and farmers have
been arrested by wholesale and shot
at sight whenever there is the slight
est resistance. or even protest. offered
In the meantime. the main force is
besieging a rocky eminence at the
summit of Mount Asspromonte under
the delusion that Mussolino is hiding
there. Officers say that it is impossi-
BILE to carry the place by open assault.
which means that they and their men
have not the courage to get to close
quarters with the brigand.
There are the best reasons for be
lieving that Mussoiino is still freely
roaming the country. 1t is certain. at
any rate that at the beginning of the
week. when he was supposed to be at
Mount Asspromonte. he entered the
town of Stella in open day. disguised
as a gendarme. partook of refresh
ments at cafe there and wrote a num-
her of letters which he afterwards
posted. Two were addressed to news
papers, GaZetta de Messina and la Ca
labria. and the third to the project of
Reggie. In them. Mussolino challenges
the world to capture him. and warns
the project that in the unlikely event
of his capture the entire province will
rise in rebellion and rescue him.
He takes exception to the tone of
certain articles in the newspapers men
toned and promises TO send contribu-
tons OF his own. He has also address
ed warning to the general command
ing the troops to the effect that if the
officers value their lives they had bet
ter refuse to do paltry police duties
and clear out.

GIVES BACK a FORTUNE.
American Millionaire Returns Money
Won at a Gambling Table.


Leigh Hunt. formerly OF Seattle. is
an American millionaire. who owns
more gold mines and hydraulic conces-
sions from the government of Corea
than all of the other foreigners in that
country put together. He is not vet

vestmentS in the orient. Five years in
Corea, most of the time living in sim
pie style among the natives. have made
an eccentric out of him. He has just
left there with the idea OF making up
for his past luck of holidays.
On the second day out he was unwill-
ingly drawn into Il poker game on the
steamer. The limit soon touched the
ceiling and Hunt and Baron De ST
Laurent. the Belgian vice consul at
Shanghai. who was on his way home
on official business. were soon the only
ones who could stand tn pressure
Baron De st. Laurent was the princi-
pal factor in bringing about a settle

a
misty past. when the baron trembling
ly listened to Hunts next suggestion.
Il don't want to keep your money -
said the American cheerfully. Let's
snake dice. and you can win IL all back
by doubling every time you shake"
By this time the two formed the
center of excitement for all the pass
engers on board the ship. Fifteen min
utes later the $500 had increased to
something over sl2.00 and then the
baron broke down and wept.
Il wouldn't take your money" said
Hunt. You can't play poker nor shake
dice. anyhow. and I'll let you off on
one condition"
Five minutes later Captain Pobrus
before 200 passengers took the solemn
oath of Baron De St Laurent over a
Bible that he would never play cards
again.
This was the most widely eccentric
act of the American on his sensational
trip.-San Francisco Call.
