The road is limestone pike, with
frequent stone 'culverts, and now anu
then bridges of stone and iron. Away
up on the top of the Atlas there is q
tunnel. which has been blasted through
the rock; and on the Very top Of the
pass we went through a deep cut
which had been made for the road.
All along the way are piles OF broken
stone, showing that the repairs arc
going on all the time, and there are
guard houses at every few miles, where
the men who take care of the road are
stationed. This pass is. in fact, mill
ltary highway. and 1t enables France
to control the whole region about.
A Dangerous People.
The Kabyles are among the most
insurrectionary of the population of
Algeria. Like the Swiss, they live IN
the mountains, and they have the same
love of freedom. They submit to the
French and work for them; but / am
told that they hate them at heart and
that If France should have a great
war with any other nation they would
again break out into rebellion. This
they did in 1871. when France had it's
war with Germany. At that time an
army of these mountainecrs marched
on Algiers. They we're defeated by
the French, and since them no Kabyle
or other native, except in certain wild
is allowed to have arms t5a5F

on Tuesday. The little girl testified that
while passing Lewis home on September
Sd last, he called from his stoop asking
her to come in to attend to an errand, at
the same time calling into the house as
though his wife was there. The evidence
showed that he was really alone, his wife
being at the canning house. When she
refused to enter he seized her by the
wrists, pulled her through one room into
a second, and made improper advances
and remarks; that finally becoming
frightened at her persistent screams and
struggles he let her go, at the same time
urging her to tell no one, as something
very bad might happen if she did. She
made an excellent witness tor one so
young, and her testimony was mistaken
on cross examination. The traverser
was the only witness placed on the stand
by the defense. Lewis explained how he
had asked her to take some articles to
neighbour and that he had cautioned her
to say nothing of an assault in order to
keep down scandal. The jury, alter
short elaboration, brought in a verdict
of guilty. Sitter for state, Carver for
defense
