MURDERERS BY LOTTERY.
Criminals Let Chance Decide Who
Shall Garry Out Deed.

In the first week of the present
year the Paris police found lying in
the Rue Brancion the dead body of Il
youth named Guillion. He had six
knife wounds, while three revolver
bullets had penetrated the body.
Next day they arrested a young
Apache named Diard, who boldly con-
fes;sed himself the murderer, He de-
clarrd that Guillion deserved his fate,
for that T. months previously he had
killed Il member of their gang named
Mctrich. He went on to tell how he
and others of the gang had met in
cafe and played billiards to decide
Who should have the honor of carrying
out the sentence. He Won, going out
side. had seen the victim coming up
the street, and killed him at once.
In police records of different coun-
tries you will find many similar cases.
In Anarchist circles it is common
practice. when the death of some pub
lie parsonage has been decided upon,
to leave the choice of the eXecutioner
to lot.
Twelve years ago young Russian,
named Ivan Denisewitch joined the Nj
hilist club. known as the Circle of the
Iron oath. The oath binds all mem
bers to absolute obedience under pen
atty of death at the hands of their
comrades.
During the following year plot WIS
formed to kill the TSar. and lots were
drawn to determine which member
should undertake the ASSASSINATION
The fatal black pellet was drawn by
young Denisewtch
Time and reflection had destroyed
his first ardor. and he revolted at the
idea of murder in cold blood. He had
money. and, Disgusting himself, quick
" escaped from Russia and went To
the United States.
But the poor fellow had not calcu-
lated or the terrible powers of his as
sociates, and the skill with which they
had woven a network around the
world He was followed to New York,
and, realizing his danger, went West,
ami opened a BARRIERS shop in San
Francisco.
A few weeks later his dead body was
found upon his bed. He had been pol
soned A small circle in black was
marked upon his forehead.
"A similar case occurred less than two
years ago. A man named Ferderotf
was found stabbed to death in his lux
uriuus apartments in st. Petersburg.

SUeDUED GUNDA WITH MOUSE.
Keeper Has Narrow Escape From
Death From an Enrased Elephant.

Paul Truman, head keeper of ami
mails DIT the Bronx zoo. had narrow
escape from death when he entered the
pen of the elephant Gunda for the
purpose "f paring the corns of that in
tractable beast.
This IS an operation all elephants
have to undergo III the spring. but
Gunda objected to it. Before Truman
had maGe any appreciable Roadway

parent possibility of escape.
Several attendants of the elephant
house seized heavy forks to goad the
beast, but Gunda was so far away
from the bar netting that they could
not reach him. Just as ii seemed GER
tain that Truman would BE caught up
in the lashing trunk or trampled un-
der the ponderous feet. he drew some
thing from his coat pocket and threw
it at Gunda. The elephant gave q
trumpet of terror and, swinging
around, raced tn the farthest corner,
standing there a-tremble. Truman
slipped past the big fellow, got through
the gate, slammed it, and said:
by hockey, that was a close call"
When asked what he had thrown
at the elephant with such success, he
replied
