Hunting a Brigand.

ITALIAN PEASANT'S FXTRA OBDINABY OAR HER OFORiME.

Some three hundred Carabineers, policemen, and soldiers have been pat rolling for several weeka passt the inoantattts behind Reggio, in Calabria, In the hope of catching the brigand Mqsolitv-, who, by his own deeds and by the'vain efforts of the authorities to cateii him, haa become as famine ne Fr» Diavolo, Leone, Oorbeddu, or Tibmsio. How, says the Rome correspondent of the Morning Post, it is announced that Musolino haa succeeded in slipping through tho patrols and has got awny Into the province of Oatai»Z'»ro, where another imposing force will have to be organised before ha can be caught or killed. The whole population of CWa bria sides with the brigand against the police, protecting him, supplying htm with food, and disseminating fa'se information as to his whereabouts. A price of £2000 has been set on Huso lirio'e head, bufc though the Oalabria peasants and mountaineers are the poorest of the poor, they refuse to betray their hero* No doubt fear of Musolino's rifle, the hope of some present such as those of a cow (made to a peasant) or of a dress (made to a peasant girl ??ho was about to be married), and, to a still greater extent, distrust in th** readiness of the Govern tnenfc to pay the £2000 set on his head, exercise considerable influeoce on the Oalabrian supporters of the brigand. But whatever the explanation, i-be fact; remains that Mnsolino is still at lar^p, wad that neither money nor police can secure bis capture. The history of Musolfno ie more romantic than that of many brigands ■who h&ve taken to the mountains. A lew years ago in a Oalabrian wineshop a quarrel arose between Mat>oimo and one of hie acquaintances, in the course of which Mu?olino received a box on the e»re. Three daya later the ac quaintance was severely wounded, but not killed, by two shots from a double barrelled gun. At once arrested, Masolino was tried for attempted murder by » jary cf hia fellow-towns men- Me protested his innocence, and waa supported by seven witnesses, who declared that he could not have com mitted the crime. The presiding mag istrate, who from the glances between Musolino and the witnesses became convinced thai the witnesses were swearing falsely, threatened them all with arrest for perjury. At the end of the trial all o$ them, panic stricken, 'retracted their evidence, and accused Musolino of the attempted murder. Masolino was consequently condemned to twenty-two years.' penal servitude; An the witnesses were leaving the court one of them passed near the kind j of cage in which prisoners in Italy are ' confined, and M_3olino gave him a tremendous kick, which carried away part of the witness' scalp. Masolino further threatened his judges and a'l who had given evidence against him | with an inexorable vendetta if he should manage to escape frora prison,, A fter a few months he did eacapp, «nd took to the mountains armed with a splendid American rifle, which by some means he had managed to procure. One by one he shot, tho seven witnesses, thn Mayor of Aspromonte, his native town, and esven other persons against whoi" he had ft vendetta. The pre siding magistrate alone escaped because he was trflmfprred to Bologna. Two or three Carabineers who had atremp-, tod to catch him were also shot. Ever since the series'of Vfendettaß began th? police have been trying to lay hands on the brigand Once they nearly succeeded, bnt Musolino managed to ©gcapg in the darkness across a moun tain side where the Carabineer® were unable to fo'low him. Occasionally he ■writes letters to th« new.-p pers declar ing bis innocence, expressing tvsjret for the ieath of the Carabineers be has killed, explaining that he haa only one more vendetta to accomplish, and that then he will emigrate. Meanwhile he j haa placed the Government in a very embarrassing position, and has the satisfaction of knowing himself to be for the moment the most notorious figure i_ Italy.

Is The Zsppeiin Airship A Success.

The C( respondent of the Daily Express at Lausanne says that, having been informed by » correspondent at FrieJnchshafen, bb engineer by pro fession, th&6 the trial of Count Zeppelins airship was only a psrtial success, in view of the optimistic reports from other sources he made careful inquiries and came to the same ctnclasion as his correspondent—To begin with, ho says, th« balloon the whole time it was in the air was only under % control of a semi real character. For ft long time it refused to go against; the wind, and even when it did so, ifc was not in a straight line, bat more or less in a elanting direction. It manoeuvred about for some time and essayed to make its journey homewards. On its way back one of its bags containing gas began to leak, and Count Zeppelin, fearing an accident, descended, 1 his was at a considerable distance from Mcos-1), and it fcofk a tug three boors to tow the air jship back to its house. This is the plain statement of the ras«, and a scientist interviewed at Zurich fully coiroboratr-s the statement.that only a partial success has been attained. Count Zeppelin has performed a remarkable feat, bat he has yet to pr-ve the ability of bis airship to go against a strong breeze.
