Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1908-05-09

Dark figures were creeping from the
alleys behind him. Mysterious whistles
resounded and re-echoed from the courts.

corner house, just legible in the dingy
lamp light To what part Of Paris had
he wandered? He was In the Rue Brodier.
Involuntarily he turned to retrace his
steps only to find himself confronted BY
a half score of sturdy rufiians. He grasp
ed his stick the tighter and backed closer
to the wall. His face was very pale;
but he did not show any sign Of fear
"You will go on" he answered, defiant

him speaking in tones Of authority. I'm

fighting relaxed his hand on his throat.
On his dirty face alarm was plainly yisi-
bic. With a muttered apology 20 the
thickset man he rushed TO meet the mob
Of his fellows, exciaiming:
Back, you fools. 1t is Monsieur Cas-
sagne"
Quietly they all sneaked away from the
man whom Of all others they dreaded. He
had been known 10 go in among them,
and at the point Of the pistol pick out
some desperate criminal and deliver him
over to justice. That's how Alfred Cas-
sagne and Charles D'Auburon became ac-
