PARIS, Nov. Especial to The Bee)-A
crime that surpasses anything in the his
tory of American feuds was perpetrated re-
Gently at St Enogat II was the culmius-
ton Of a simple school boys fight which
occurred twenty-six years ago. The vic
tim had forgotten all about It.
The assassin, one Beison CHANGED upon
his victim man named Gatebois. The
recollections Of Gatebos were Of the most
friendly description He could not make
too much OF the individual who struggled
with himself to master the three RS"
He gave him good dinner and showed
him over his shop and introduced him to
many of his friends. The unsuspiciOus
Gatebois had him again TO lunch. They
chatted and joked and then went into the
garden.
Beslon suddenly drew a revolver. You
BRUTE he shreked. do you remember
what you did to me twenty-siX years ago?'
Before Gatebois could reply Beslon fired
and as his old comrade fell smashed his
skull with the revolver.
NeiRhbors who had heard the shot took
the man prisoner. Gatebols was taken to
a hospital, where he died the same night.
Beslon remained cool. "Twenty-six years
ago." he said, that man struck me when
1 was defenseless. have been waiting a
chance to revenge myself"
Chimpan1ee- n Spree.
The other day as twenty work girls came
out of a dressmaker's shop in the Rue
Boileau at midday an arm encircled the
waist OF one of them. The girl protested
Indignantly The too gallant intruder was
we'll dressed, but he was hideOus little
person. The girls began making fun Of
him, when suddenly he caught hold of one
and put his face close against hers She
boxed his ears and he dropped on all tours
and bit her leg.
There was panic The girls rushed off
shriel1ing and two policemen arrested the
aggressor. The creature was a chimpanEee,
the pet Of an explorer living near at hand.
He was captured after a struggle and car
ried off by his masters cGOK, who went
TO fetch him at the police station, where he
had spent the night
An amusing item Of the story is that the
magistrate got very angry with the chin
panzee when he was first brought in be-
cause he refused to answer any questions.
He was highly indignant when told that he
was talking to a chimpanzee. His honor,
being near sighted, did not know that.
Work of HOIdup Men.
A gang of American holdup men are OPP
Grating in this city under the leadership
OF a noted English crook. MademOiselle
Bertrand had a disagreeable experience
with them recently. She is a handsome
woman, and has a great weakness for Jew
elry, with which she bedecks herself
abundantly before leaving home for stroll
| to the music halls of Moutmartre. The
other evening she stalked into a cafe near
the Moulin Rouge. Her diamonds literally
bazed and her magnficence at once
caught the attention OF four young men
| who were at supper With little or NO
ceremony an acquaintance was struck NJ
and in a few minutes Mile Bertrand was
seated with the Joyous party.
They were Americans, they told Mile
Bertrand and as they spoke French with
some difficulty Mile. Bertrand saw no rea-
son to dlsbeieve them On the contrary
she congratulated herself on having found
what was certainly a party Of those multi
millonaires: After supper a cab bore their
to a dancing establishment where cham
payne flowed freely
When the night was over Mile, Bertrand
was offered a room in their hotel. Thithel
went the party and Mile Bertrand was
shown 10 her room by her new acquaint
ances. Hardly were they inside the room
however, than she was seized and gagged
by two OF the men. while the other tive
took her jewelry and purse. Mile. Der
trand gave a description Of her assa!lant
to the police. Three Of the men were cap
tured few hours later and were identine,
as belonging to a band OF road agents VIII
have lately been acting proftahly in tn
Montmartre quarter.
