The French peasants believe that on
Easter morning, at the sound Of the re-
joicing bells, fair angels with azure wings
were supposed to descend from heaven
bearing baskets of eggs, which they de-
posted in the houses Of the faithful.
Sometimes, however, it happened that
the evil one slipped in an accursed egg
among those which came from heaven.

ONE OF GREAT NORTHERN ROBBERS
TO GET CHANGE FROM
A MONTANA BANK BILL GIVES
HIM AWAY.
THRILLING CHASE BY OFFICERS
FUGITIVE HELPS HIMSELF To
HORSES TO AID IN RACE
FOR LIBERTY.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. ga desperate
ma fought his way clear of two city
detectives here yesterday, and, after a
thFllilng chase, escaped. In his race
Tor liberty he utilized a two-horse
wagon team, a horse and buggy and a
riding horse, all forcibly taken, while
two dead bloodhounds mark the first
portion of his trail.
Othsers believe the man is one of the
gang that held up the Great Northern
express near Wagner, Mont, last June,
his attempt to get change for a $40 bill
or the series secured in that robbery
attracting the attention Of the police TO
him.
At 1920 yesterday morning O raw
boned mar about five feet ten inches
high, with 1orid complexion. offered
the bill in payment of a small purchase
made at a store on the public square.
Dlticulty in making the change caused
the salesman to closely notice the bill,
Which proved to be on the Montana
bank to which

were consigned. The police were qui-
city notified, the clerk meanwhile de-
laying the matter of the change. De-

man, demanded his name.
Ferguson" was the reply, and after
another question or two Detective
Dryer informed the man he was under
arrest. Quick as a flash Ferguson had
q rGNplNrar in zach hand and Gta TtnH for
the door. A h~and-to-hand fight fol-
lowed, both detectives graphing with
the stranger, who proved more than a
match for them. Using his pistols as
clubs he fought his way to the door and
fed down the street. A passing ice
wagon caught his attention and the
three negro occupants were soon out of
his way. Then, at a terrific pace, the
wagon was headed across the Cumber-
land river bridge into East Nashville,
a fusilade of shots following it. Out
Woodland street went the flying team,
but a sudden turn into First street
Soon Brought 1t to Grief.
One of the horses fell and broke his leg,
but the fugitive was not to be delayed.
Running across the street he held up
an old negro who was driving by in a
buggy and the flight was continued.
Out into the commons he sped. Once
the buggy overturned, but was quickly
righted. Finally the tired horse was
abandoned, and after a dive into Shelby
Park on foot, the supposed bandit Sc
cured another horse which vas hitched
at a point near the park. Then after a
sensational ride the horse was left and
the fight continued on foot. Further
IN the pursuers found two of the blood
hounds used in the chase shot to death
a short distance apart, and after that
the trace of the man was lost.
The sheriff with a large posse is now
securing the country for the missing
man. When the buggy was abandoned
the man threw away a wallet contain-
Ing 81, O30 in ten and twenty-dollar bills
Of the Montana bank. The chief of po-
lice now has the money.

Cantri! yesterday instructed the jury

dicted with Powers were the acts ard
declarations of Powers, and that If the
bringing of the mountain army t"
Frankfort was due to Powers and II
that act resulted in Goebel's death, the
prisoner should be found guilty. If the
jury believed GoebeHs death resulted
from a conspiracy, even though the
original intention Of the conspirators
was not to kill Goebel and the defend
ant was absent when the shooting oc-
Cured, the defendant should be found
guilty. The instructions were strongly
