ItRAZIIJAN MAN
KILLKR IH HLAIN
SAN PAULO: Agnelo Pedro Pinto,
one of the last and most desperate of
the bandits who have been terrorizing
the people of the adjoining state of
Parana for many months has at last
been killed by tbe police, after a chase
that was as exciting as most of Pinto’s
escapades. Hardly a week passed that
travelers did not bring stories of en
countering him. He always worked
alone, but hts absolute disregard of
danger made him a terror to everyone
who went Into that part of the state.
Recently his robberies had become
so frequent and the killing of his vic
tims so numerous that the Brasilians
called him "Agnelo the Man Killer,"
and the police were ordered by the
state government to take him dead or
alive. A searching party of five start
ed in search of him.
After a march of 21 miles, the
searching party overtook the bandit
in a lonely section known as Canlvete
which had been the scene of many of
his most desperate achievements.
Agnelo was hiding in the house of a
friend and the police undertook to
wait until he should leave his refuge,
but their presence was soon reported
to the desperado, who mounted his
horse and set out at a gallop to meet
the police.
When told to dismount and consid
er himeslf a prisoner. Agnelo dashed
forward, shooting at the men who had
attempted to arrest him. Dismount
ing and using his horse as a shield, he
continued shooting until the police
began to close in on him, then he re
mounted and galloped away, still
.shooting at the officers who dared to
pursue him and he was still shooting
with a revolver, when a rifle bullet
killed him and he fell from his gallop
ing horse.—Ex.

Let Hoover take each pound of wheat
From out the good old U. S. A.
But leave us beans and yellow meal
And we'll get by in some old way.
Take all our bacon, hams and lard.
And all our barley and our oats.
(The boys will bring the bacon home
With Willie's hide and all his goats.)
We'll give him sugar—sack and all,
And quit our eating candy.
We’ll borrow honey from the bees
And pull through fine and dandy.
Resourceful—is our middle name,
For grub we never will be stuck,
With moose and sheep and fish and
clams,
And various kinds of garden truck.

J So Mr. Hoover help yourself.
We ll find the means to fill the pot,
With things we think we ought to
have.
And things that we have really got.

LAWYER IS AFTER
BIG WEAHEIjH NOW
Judge Addison F. Stowe, formerly
an Anchorage lawyer, who is employ
ed by the Alaskan Engineering com
mission stationed at Indian river, in
charge of the government stores at
that place has again leaped into fame
as a weasel trapper.
The judge, during his hours of rest
runs a trap line. H1b experience has
mostly dealt with lynx, bear and
moose. Last week, however, when
making the rounds of traps he dis
covered a weasel of unusual propor
tions. The judge not being familiar
with such fur-bearing animals paid
little or no attention to his catch un
til he returned to his headquarters,
where some old-time trappers were
amazed at the size of the weasel.
The judge will now confine his at
tention to weasels, as he says that
there are a number of them in the im
mediate vicinity of the government
cache, and they are more readily
caught than lynx or bears.—Ex.
