by four citizens of the little farming
town of Creston and a sole deputy sher-
iff. Sheriff Gardner and posse arrived in
ume TO guard the wheat field through

c. y. Sraub, deputy sheriff; DR.. Z. c.
Lanter; Maurice Smith. attorney; J. J.
Morrison, railway section foreman,
and Frank Lillengen. These men,
armed to the teeth. set out from Cres-

companion of the Oregon convict for
more than twenty-four hours at the
ranch of L.. b. Eddy. on Lake creek,
about three miles south from Fellows,

Two of the man hunters stepped be-
hind the barn on Il slight eminence
from which they could watch every
thing that went on, and Eddy contin-
ued on up to the door. Tracy came
from the barn again and began help
ing his host unhitch the horses. He
carried no rife, although he had his
revOlvers in place. The fugitive finally
saw the men carrying rifles, and,
turning sharply to Eddy, said: who
are those mem"
Il don't see any men," said Eddy.
Tracy pointed out the two men on
the hill. Eddy informed his companion
who the men We're, and the outlaw

Intemperance in France.

In the Revue des Deux Mondes, NJ
Foullee writes that In 1880 free trade In
drink were established In France. Since
the passing OF that disastrous law and
the passingof that disastrous law the
led. and during the last 30 years II has
sextupled.
France has passed from the seventh
place I'm order of consumption of alcohol
To the first. The number OF drink licenses
in the country, including Paris. is nearly
800, 600 In 1880 there was one license for
every 113 inhabitants: today IL is one for
every 80. In Lower Normandy there is
one for every %
The average number OF those liable for
military service who were rejected be-
cause of alcoholism was. from 1861 to 1885,
at the rate OF 800 per year; in 1895 IL had
risen 10 $500 says the London Express
In Normandy, where alcoholism has seiz-
ed the people with a truly alarming in
tensity the number Of still-born children
and cases of infant mortality has in
creased ~ per cent: the number OF con-
scripts refused on the ground OF health
has trebled; marriages have diminished
one-cigth; the birth rate. which was 2s
per 100 I'm 1880. has fallen Is per 1000 I'm
1894; the deathrate rose from % TO 2s per
100.
Fourteen villages I'm the neighborhood
OF Caen I'm 1850 had 9200 people, today
0S9O they have only 502s. For every
ten (men. women ard children) of the
population. 1886 gallons OF beer. spirits and
wine were consumed in the year 1900 in
France.
Mr.. Foujllee shows that from 1881 to 1896
i'm France the number of misdemeanors
decided upon I'm criminal courts rose from
10000 TO 2i0.0O. Since 1859 the rate Of
manslaughter went up from l56 10 lS9. OF
wilful murder from 95 to 2ls: and Of sexu-
al crimes from 539 to 6Si. The annual aver
age of infanticides is lsO Convictions OF
habitual criminals were 30 per cent in
1890; IN 1896 they had increased ~ per cent.
In fact. crime has trebled I'm France
during the last lb years. although the pop
ulation has hardly Increased at all. in
the course of the year 1892 there were
1851 persons committed to prison. In
Paris more than half of the persons ar
rested are below n years OF age, and
nearly all Of them have committed seri-
Gus crimes In one year alone there
were ~ murders 20 homicides. three par
ricides. two poisonings, liz infanticides
l2ia cases OF cutting and woundng, y
incendiarisms. 233 sexual assaults. and
l.. 800 robberies committed I'm Paris.
I'm 1880 the suicides In France were five
