English Bandit Hunters

New Form of Excitement for British Sportsmen in Italy.

The Osservatore Romana announced that a group of young English sportsmen, tired of the comparatively mild emotions of big game shooting, propose to take up brigand stalking as a novel and more exciting form of sport. The financial proceeds of their "bags" will be devoted to partially reimbursing the victims of the outlaws.

The police authorities, regarding this new departure as another instance of English originality, have reminded sportive man hunters that they will incur a great risk, but white declining all responsibility they have promised every support and encouragement in their power.

The government rewards are quoted at sums ranging from $200 for the more commonplace species of outlaw to $3,000 for the Sicilian brigand Vassalone, the legitimate successor in comprehensive depredation of the famous Mussolino. Just at present Vassalone, dead or alive, is a much wanted individual.
