The Great rjidocq.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Aras in Its. He began
life as a baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he. was notorious thief,
and after many disgraceful adventures
he enlisted in the army. In 1895 he re-
turned to Paris with some money,
which, however, he soon squandered.
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight
years. hard labor for forgery, but re-
peatedly escaped, and in 1908 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as a detective. His previous career
enabled him to render important serv.
ices, and he was appointed chief Of the
safety brigade, chiefly composed of re-
prieved convlcts, which purged Paris
Of the many dangerous classes. In
1918 he received q full pardon, and his
connection with this service lasted en-
til about 1928, when he settled at st,
Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon
after the revolution Of 1880 he became
a political detective, but with littla
success In 1S49 he was again en-
ployed under the republican govern
ment. hpt he died lenn1less in 1857. t.

points. The coach was captured by
Indians in 1877 and was only recap
tured after long pursuit and Sc
we're battle. Many persons of note
and national prominence have rid
den in this coach.
General Garfield prior to his cleo
ton to he presidency was once it's
hOnored passenger. President Ar
thur in 1883 is indebted to it for
services rendered while General
Sherman in 1877 made a trip from
FIT. Ellis to Helena, a distance Of
10S miles in eight hours, being drawn
by horses which were relayed every
u miles. The coach is of the Con-
cord type having no springs what
ever, but the body is supported by
huge leather straps on either side
which gives it the peculiar rocking
motion associated with old-time
coaches.

SUM MARY.


Bismarck. July 31.-A severe hail
storm in Barnes county and another
of slightly less severity in Steele
county have wrought considerable
damage. Hail has fallen elsewhere
in scattered localities but has done
no material injury. Rye and barley
harvest is nearly general throughout
the state and in some localities is
completed. Conditions generally are
very favorable, and prospects for the
biggest yield in years for all kinds
of grains continue excellent. Hay
is about over but rain has hindered
progress in some localities. Alfalfa
is ready for second cutting in some
places. The crop generally is re-
markably free from rust, only two
counties reporting a slight appear
ance with no damage done. Corn is
making an excellent growth and pro-
misses a record yield.
