Riviera of the Baltic


In the proximity of the city of Riga
is the lovely strand which has come to
be called the Baltic Riviera. where the
busy Latvians abandon their offices for
the sports or the sunny beach. Here.
fringed by dunes and woods, idyllic
forests and park, little townlets of vii
las are growing up on every side. The
vast stretch of sand makes it para
disc for the children, and 1t is aston
ishing how soon after Russia lost the
coastline the Germans, the English and
the Scandinavian peoples found on 1t
a home for their summer play. 1t is
the strand of shore whose inland
miles stretch to Asia and China and
the mystery of its hidden background
shadows all its romance.

ing to each other that Bob Quantrell
had got away.
It was news as exciting as that of
his capture had been three days
earlier Food had been furnished for
hundred debates that would be
waged furiously by the partisans of
the young desperate and of the sheriff.
For a time O'Hara's stock had been
above par. Now it had been driven
down again. His friends still had
faith in him, but the general opinion
was that, good sheriff though he might
be, he had met more than his match
in Bob Quantrell.
The sheer melodrama of Quantrell's
getaway stirred the Imagination and
sent a thrill of horror through the
community. His capture by O'Hara
had been done inconspicuously, though
the sheriff's posse had one dead and
one wounded bandit to its credit
Their leader had played down the
achievement, as an affair all in the
days work. But Quantrell, with his
sure instinct for the limelight, had
magnified his Handcuffed and close
ly watched, he had managed to kill
the guard and walk out of prison, to
saunter carelessly about town, to ride
away when he was ready. all with the
spectacular gesture that differentiated
him from ordinary bandits and killers.
Bob Quantrell at least had personality.
To Garrett O'Hara at the court
house came Brad Helm putting from
rapid travel. He waddled up to the
sheriffs desk and wheezed out his
startling tidings.
Bob Quantrell has done killed Buck
an made his getaway"
The heart of O'Hara went down like
plummet in ice-chilled water. But
even at this shocking news he wasted
no words in lament or incredulity.
"Has he left town." he asked.
"Don't know. He held me up an

Already the sheriff was buckling on
the belt that held his guns. He
passed out of the courthouse and down
the hill to the main street of the
town. He could see men gathered in
knots. They were discussing the
news excitedly.

NIGHT M ARE IS

 THREE WOUNDED
Negro Porter Runs Amuck During Early Morning
 Hour Today

HOUSTON, Texas, April 20.-A negro porter, Sonny Reed, aged 3l, shot and killed his wife; wounded David Harris, aged 35, an attorney; Mrs. George Leach and Miss Janet Arendale. The condition of Mrs. Reed is critical.
 Reed was subject to nightmares. Early this morning he had a night mare and shot his wife three times in the abdomen as she lay in her bed in her home, next door to the Leach residence.
 Reed fled to the basement of his house and fired on Harris and the two women with shotgun when they demanded he surrender. The single charge struck all three.
 Reed then barricaded himself and shot himsef when detectives appeared. While on his way to the hospital in an ambulance Reed grabbed a pistol from detectives belt and shot himself in the abdo- men and died.
