A Goat In
a Bag
A Story of an Italian j
Bandit
By L TOMASO
On an eminence amid the mountains
back of Sorrento, Italy, stood a well
dressed young man evidently waiting
for something or some one. Before him
was spread out the beautiful bay of
Naples, to the north the islands of
Ischia, and Capri resting on what
seemed at the time a sea of molten sil
ver, for the Mediterraneean takes on a
different hue in every part of the day.
Directly beneath him lay the town of
Sorrento, set on a ledge of rock 300 feet
above the bay, the waves beneath rock
ing the anchored fishing boats, then
pushing on to break in a white line of
foam at the foot of the cliff.
"I beg pardon." said a voice behind
the gentleman. "Is this Signor di
Guida?"
Tjie gentleman turned and saw a
man who seemed to belong to the low
er but not the lowest class.
"I am Signor di Guida," he replied,
somewhat surprised.
"There is a man over there," point
ing, "who carries a letter for you."
: "Indeed? I expected him to come up
by this road. I will go to him."
Di Guida dropped a coin Into the
man's hand and went off In the direc
tion he had indicated. It was not on
the road, but behind some high rocks.
As soon as he had passed around the
rocks he saw a man who advanced to
meet him a tall, well built fellow, but
with a sinister expression on his face.
"Are you looking for me. sir?" asked
Di Guida.
"Are you Signor Vincenzo di Guida?"
"I am."
"And expecting a note from Signorina
Bianea Fabri?"
"I am."
The man held out a note, which Di
Guida received with some surprise, for
it was written on paper such as Si-
THB GIBIi PALED, BUT SAID NOTHING.
gnorina Fabri was not in the habit of
using and adressed In a masculine
hand. He opened it and read:
Signor Vincenzo di Guida Will you
please send by. the messenger who hands
you this a note to your father asking him
to send 100,000 lira for your ransom? 1
have the honor to be your obedient serv
ant, ANDREA Z AN ELLA.
Di Guida saw at once that he had
been tricked. He had been drawn
away from the road on which vehicles
and pedestrians were constantly pass
ing to a retired spot where he could

Grand Jury Sustains Prosecutor
The grand jury which investigated ,
the Hill murder case have filed a re-.
port snowing why no action was tak-
en in that case. The report reads: j
We have indicted in all cases where, j
in our estimation, the evidence intro. I
1 duced before us was such as in our !
judgment would, if unexplained and i ery member of the grand jury includ
uncoftradicted, warrant a conviction j iag 3 Democrats, the only people who
by the trial jury... That we have left ! know what the evidence was.
no person uninaicted where in our
judgment we would have been war
ranted in returning an indictment.
Our conclusions and actions havein all
instances been governed entirely by
the evidence introduced before us."
This shows why no arrests were
made in this case. The grand jury
have themselves spoken and gone on

they say in the official pamphlet about

Daign lies.
Out of 700 circuit and supreme court
cases only 18 have been lost. The
county has not paid out a single dol
lar for legal assistance. Thousands of
dollars have been saved by the man
ner in which criminal business has
been handled. The county has not

for you if you choose to write it."
Zanella raised a silver whistle to his
lips and blew upon it. whereupon sev
eral men started from different hiding
places and approached the speakers,
Di Guida was taken to their camp and
oivpn writing mntorinls hut- hofnro tha
letter was written the amount demand
ed for his ransom was reduced to half
, the amount previouslv demanded. But
! even this rh vnnmr'mnn ndvised his
tather not to pay and. in fact, request-
ed that he should pay none whatever.
- DI Guida remained with the bandits
quite awhile. Their chief threatened
several times' to cut off a few of his
prisoner's fingers and send them with
his next demand, but Di Guida laughed
at him.
"Every one between here and Naples
and all Neapolitans know that you. An
drea Zanella, are here in these moun
tains overlooking Sorrento, and you
will be captured at last Your friends
of the Camorra will not be .able to
save you. You are a fool to set up for
a regular bandit, for you can never
rise beyond the Neapolitan sneak thief
you are. If you -harm me my father
will understand parts of. letters of
mine you have carried to him .after
inspecting them and not understand
ing them yourself that on evidence of
harm to me he Is to put my best friend.
Sergeant Giuseppe Micele of the cara
bineer!, upon your -track and mine and
never leave the job till he has taken
you."
Zanella poohpoohed this, but it was
evident he was impressed by the in
formation. He took no especial meas
ures to enforce his demands, and when
he went away from the camp left in
structions that the prisoner was to be
loosely guarded that he might escape.
One evening, when Zanella was
away, he availed himself of an. oppor
tunity given him by his guards and
walked away into the darkness. He
walked for perhaps an hour, when he
came to a small villa. It had com
menced to rain and he applied for ad
mission. His summons was answered
by a young girF, who told him that
her father and brother were absent,
but meanwhile he might come In out
of the rain. .
Di Guida entered the villa, telling
the girl that he would remain in the
hall, which is used for a living room in
such buildings In Italy. A light stood
on a table, and there were books at
hand, so after she had withdrawn he
sat down to read. It was not long be

room to answer thi
fore there was another knock at the
came out of a rear
the summons. TJi Gui
da sat where be could not see who had
arrived, but supposed it was those ex
pected. He was mistaken. They were
several men whom no young lady would
dare admit, and she refused to do so.
Finally they prevailed upon her to per
mit them to leave a sack containing a
goat that had been killed that day and
which they would return for. To this
ther girl consented. They unloaded
lost a single dollar by wrong legal
advice.
That is our record. If you approve
it vote to continue it.
I dislike to say anything about my
opponent's record but" since he ac
cused me of unfairness in last week's
Courier, I feel compelled to answer
it or people might say I admitted it
by being silent, so invoke this state
ment:
He has not won a criminal case in
the circuit court during the two and
one-half years residence in. Oregon.
He has not won a criminal case in jus
tice court without the help of Mr.
Fulton, and then only one. On March
24, 1912 a case was tried at Astoria
when the city sued the A. & C. R. R.
C, the city paid Mr. Futlon $600 to
try this case. Every case that HAS
BEEN TRIED BY HIM, the records
show he has been assisted in every
case by from one to four lawyers,
I do not care when the matters arose
I am speaking of the cases TRIED
BY HIM.

their "burden, andlhe girl wentljack to
where she had come from.
Now, in doing this the men had plac
ed the sack near the door of the room
in which Di Guida was sitting. He
took no Interest in it, but went on read
ing. When he looked up he noticed
that the bag had moved. Could the
goat he had heard it contained be after
all alive? Was it a goat or was it a
man? And for what purpose could
these men leave a man in a bag? A
grave suspicion came over Di Guida.
and he looked about him for a weapon.
Not seeing any, he called to the girl,
asking her if she could let him have a
little wine. Sue went to get it. and
when she arrived Di Guida had writ
ten on a piece of paper in pencil: "The
bag cpntains a man: Can you bring
me a weapon?"
The girl paled, but said nothing. In
a few minutes she returned with a few
figs on a plate and set it down before
the guest. Out of her kerchief pro
truded the handle, of a revolver. Di
Guida seized it and laid it on the table
beside him. The girl withdrew, and he
examined the weapon. Every chamber
was loaded. Satisfied of this, he took
a sip of wine, ate a fig, then threw him
self back in his chair and while pre
tending to read kept his eye fixed on
the bag. It was not loug before he de
tected a slight motion. He watched
and saw the bag hitch itself toward an-
easy chair. Every now and again it
would give a hitch and always toward
the rear of the furniture.
"My pig in poke." said Di Guida
aloud, "you are covered by a cocked
Bix shooter. I presume you can't see
me, but I can see you plainly. I am
going to give myself a guess as to who
you are. The man in these mountains
most likely to do a trick like that Is
Andrea Zanella, with the sinister In
tention of robbing this house. Fortu
nately not long ago I walked away
i from your camp, with your kind per
mission, the only sensible thing prob
ably you ever did, and am here to de
fend a young lady who is alone. You
will kindly edge yourself along in the
direction I Indicate. Proceed."
. After a few moments the bag re
commenced its hitching motion and,
guided by DI Guida, passed to a posi
tion a short distance away from the
door. Di .Guida presently called his
hostess and told her to meet her fa
ther and brothers outside, when they
came, and advise them of what had
occurred.
Not long after they arrived, and,
having been warned, they entered the
house and secured arms. Then they
came into the hall and saluted the
guest
"Now, my friend of the bag," said
DI Guida. "you have doubtless come
here prepared" to cut yourself out Do
so." -
Presently a slit was made in the bag.
A man threw it off and stood up. DI
Guida was right he was Zanella.
"Ha. my chief." said DI Guida. "You
will.rmt hp rror':'"d rtS ja more
notes "for me." Now carry 'out your
original intention go to the door and
blow on your whistle." - .
There was nothing for it but to obey
the order. Zanella blew, and, as each
one of three men approached they
were met by one standing in shadow
and disarmed.
Zanella was turned over to the Ital
ian government " and executed. Di
Guida gained great credit from his ex
ploit and afterward Signorina Blaqca
Fabri as well.

VIRGINIAN TOO LATE
TO RESCUE
MONTREAL, April 16. The weath
er signal station on the Gulf of St.
Lawrence reported today that heavy
fogs lay off Nova Scotia and that
neighborhood last night and is trav
eling eastward.
It was said that such conditions left
little hope for the rescue of any sur
vivors of the Titanic that might still
be adrift in rafts or boats.
The Allan Line has issued the fol
lowing statement:
"We are in receipt of a Marconi
message via Cape Race, from Captain
Gambell, of the Virginian, saying he
arrived on the scene of the disaster
too late to be of service, and is pro
ceeding on his voyage to Liverpool.
A -wireless message received here
says that Charles M. Hays, president
of the Grand Trunk Railway, is among
the survivors aboard the Carpathia.
His wife and daughter already had
been reported saved.

Cookery and Government.
Rossini, the Italian composer, said a
droll thing on the unification of Italy
when some one asked his opinion on
this matter. He replied that he thought
It very difficult if not impossible to ef
fect the unity for the simple reason
that the Neapolitans eat nothing but
macaroni, the Florentines nothing but
fagiuoli and the Lombards only polen
ta, while the Piedmontese swallow all
they can get "It is clear," he said,
"that uniformity of cookery must pre
cede unity of government"
