Fewer reports have come from Germany regarding spies. It is said,
however, that many Russians have been detected in Germany. The Russian
espionage system is in many ways superior to all others. Russian spies
in Austria have been of great assistance to the czar’s army chiefs. In
all the countries at war passports have been stolen by spies and the
signatures studied so that the holders can produce passable imitations.
Spies have even been caught with their own photographs pasted over
others in passports and with the official stamp on the photographs
counterfeited.
When the spies are captured and sentenced, they meet death bravely. That
is part of their creed. Soldiers loathe the task of shooting women, but
such is the law of war. All accounts of the executions of women state
that they have died as bravely as the men, with no appeal and no
complaint in giving their lives for their country.
Some Sleeper, This Fellow.
After Eugene Hyland and Scott Anderson had searched the pockets of Paul
Busselet, whom they found lying in the gutter at Sansome and Washington
Streets, San Francisco, Cal., early in the morning, one grabbed him by
the heels and the other by the shoulder and tossed him over a fence into
a vacant lot.
When the pair turned around, they were looking into the muzzle of a
revolver in the hands of Policeman Lenhardt. At the city prison Lenhardt
charged the pair with attempted robbery. Busselet, whom they tossed over
the fence, was not even awakened by the rough treatment and was reported
by the officer still sound asleep when the case of the accused pair was
called in court.
Thirty in This Kentucky Family.
Mr. and Mrs. John Kiser, who live in Kentucky, just across the mountains
from Big Laurel, Va., have the largest family in this part of the
country, if not in all America. They have been married thirty years, and
have twenty-eight children, including one set of triplets and five sets
of twins. Only a few days ago two boys were added to the family. All the
children are unmarried and make their home with their parents.
A. Wolf Shoots a Wolf.
“I want some bounty money on a wolf.”
“What name?”
“Wolf.”
“No, no. Not the animal’s name. What’s your name?”
“Wolf, I say; Adolph Wolf, of South Superior.”
After the little misunderstanding had cleared away, W. J. Leader, county
clerk, at Superior, Wis., gave county and State orders for ten dollars
each to the applicant for bounty money.
Wolf shot his wolf inside the city limits, and was given a permit by
Mayor Konkel to collect the bounty.
Alfred Hillpipre, of the town of Superior, also was granted bounty money
on a wolf he killed along the Tower Road, south of the city limits.
