DETECTION OF CRDIE
BT A FRENCH DETECTIVE.
I had some renown as a successfu
rogue-catcher ; and I had some experience
too. My field of operations, as a usual
thine:, lav within the conhnes of,ihe L)e
partment or the Lower Alps ; and though
I served under the Sub Prefect of the
third Arondissment, yet the Prefect of
the Department called upoo me 'when he
chose. One morning: it was in the lat
ter part of May I received a note from
the Prefect, ordering me to come, to
Dinge and see him, with all possible dis
patch. The missive came through the
office of our Sub Prefect so that I had
nothing to do but to get ready and start.
I took an early dinner, assumed the dress
of a peasant, browned my face and hands,
and set forth. I reached Dmge just at
nightfall, and soon as u was dark I wai
ted on the Prefect. He seemed to be re
lieved when he saw me, and took me to
his private closet.
Now," said I, "have you got work for
me?"
Yes." he replied "sit down and listen.'
We eat down, and he proceeded :
"Within a few months past there have
been some of the most mysterious mur
ders committed in thi3 Department, and
the Department of Var, that ever come
under my notice. They are done mostly
on the road from Castellane to Aups.
The first victim was a Marseilles mer
chant, who had come up to Castellane to
purchase preserved fruits. His body was
found by the roadside, near the line be
tween the two Departments, and at first
it was supposed that he must have fallen
and died in a fit, as -co marks or violence
could be found npon him. His pockets
had been rifled however. The next one
was found near Annot, and under the
same circumstances. He was a merchant
also, and from Nice. Since then, five or
six more have died upon the same road,
in the same mysterious way, and no mark
of ill usage have been found upon any of
them, but'they all have been robbed."
"Have most cf them stopped .iqu Cas
tel!auer' ' . ' '
T' - IV-'-ct-r
r.; -:-y hid.,- .
ll.i. I.:., i uVt put
up a; t'.i izv.c iua men Vs- I remarked.
"Yes," said the-Prefect. - -
I then supposed that some of the land
lords must be concerned. But my com
panion informed me that they had been
narrowly watched, and that no shadow
of evidence rested against them.
"But," said I, "fs there no poison in
this matter? Some innkeeper may ad
miuisier the poison, and then send an ac
complice after the victim."
No," returned uhe Prefect, with a
shake of the head. "Experienced phy
sicians have examined the stomachs of
the dead men, but no traces of poison
have been found. It is a mysterious aff
air. The Sub Prefect has done all he
could, but without effect, and. now we
mean to give the whole thing into your
hands. You must go to Caftellane at
once, and there you can get such further
ieformatioa as the Sub Prefect can give
you."
After conferring awhile longer with
the Prefect, he let me have a suit of or
dinary tradesman's clothing, and thus
habuated I went to a hotel and put up for
the night. In the morning I procured a
horse and set out, reaching Castellane
before noon. During the day I preten
ded to be doing business. I went to the
woolen factory and examined a lot of
stuff, and aiso visited several places
where preserved fruits were pat up. I
learned that some of the people that came
there on business, put up at an inn kepi
by a man named Juan Fontaix ; st I left
my horse there and engaged lodging.
After dark I called upon the Sub Pre
fect. He told me he had used all the
means in his power, but had been able to
ob;ain no clue to the guilty party. Most
of the murdered victims had been from
Marseilles, and the excitement in that
city was intense. Gendarmes had been
sent out upon all the roads, and secret po
lice had also been upon the watch. The
last victim had fallen only four or five
days before, and the deed was done in
fifteen minutes after the policeman had
passed the spot.
I asked the Sub Prefect if he had any
suspicions. He answered that all the
suspicions he had was fastened upon Juan
Fontaix, the innkeeper. Nearly all the
murdered men had stopped at his house,
and he must have, known something cf
their business.
I bade the officer keep perfectly quiet,
not even to let one of his own men know
my presence. Then I returned to the inn,
and finally entered into a conversation
w ith my host upon the subject of the mys
terious deaths. He pronounced it won
derful, and assured rae that it had injur
ed him more than he could tell. "
" "Parbleu !" he muttered, "they'll be
suspecting me next, if they have not done
so already."
I was soon satisfied that Joan Fontaix
knew nothing of the guilty party." He
was very fearful, and sometimes blanched
and trembeled at the thought. Most peo
ple would have seen in this signs of guilt,
but I thought differently.
I spent all the next day in town, osten
sibly eugaged in business with the facto
ries, but in reality hunting after some
clue to my mission. Night carao again,
but I had found nothing new. I was per
fectly satisfied that the murderer had laid
his plans so deeply that no circamstantisl
"A
h.i U
NOW AND FOREVER."
clue could be found. If I would find
him, I must catch him with the. guilt upon
him.
I had given an assure ed name at the
inn, and stated that I belonged to Toulon.
On the next morning I called for ray bill,
and informed my hosts that I was off for
home. Then I went to the fruit preser
ver's and told him the same, stating that
I roust confer with my partner before I
concluded my bargain. After this I went
to the woolen factory and saw the busin
ess agent. His name was Louis Cazau-
bon, and he had come to Castellane attmt
a year before. He seemed to be a
straight forward business man, and yet
he was the only one I had seen whom I
had thought of suspecting. In conversa
tion about the murders he bad been a
little too free and off handed, treating
the subject more coolly than a man with
a heart would be apt to do. But still I
had been thus far unable to prove any
thing against him: Oa the present oc
casion I told him as I had told many oth
ers, that I must return to Toulon-
"If you have no money with you we
can give you credit," hs said.
I told him I had plenty of money, but
was not fully prepared to pay the price
he demanded. He said, "very well;"
and ad(?ed he should be very happy to
sell to me when I came again. I bade
him good day, and then departed. As
soon a3 I was alone I began to suspect
Mons. Louis Cazauboo in earnest. When
I told him that I had money, but did not
purchase because he charged too much,
why didn't he banter me ? Simply be
cause he wished me to leave town with
the money in my pocket. At least so it
appeared to me. This was sufficient
ground fcr me to work upon, and I re
solved to watch the man a little while.
So I rode to an out of the way place and
left my horse, and then returned and con
cealed myself in a po?ition wnere I could
see the movements of Louis Cazuaboa.
In a few moments he came out of the
factory and walked away. His step was
hurried and eager. I felt sura that he
was not the mm that had done the direct
work cf death. The plot was deeper
than that, cr he would have been discov
ered ere this.' So I resolved to wait a
while, and see if he returned. I , would
hive followed hirrs if I could have done
wi-.h safety, but ha might have dstec-
sri.t it.Mi J r ,.f T I ;'H- V.
cr, ial"t3 than fifteen minutes he caxe.
Ha walLed now with & sober, innocent
air. . . -
I saw Cazaubon at his desk, and then
I returned to my horse. I knew that I
had a risk to run now, but I was ready
for it. If the factory agent was at the
bottom of the crime, and meant to have
me robbed, he had already set his ma
chinery in motion, and the next develop
ment would have been upon the road. I
examined my pistol, and then left the
town, taking the road along the river, to
ward the Alps.
At the end of half an hour I came to
the slopes of the Barjois mountain, and
soon afterward entered the wood. I now
began to be careful, and kept my eyes
about me. I will not say that I was
wholly without fear, for the mysterious
manner in which the murders had been
done verged so closely upon the marvel
ous, that a sort, or superstitious a read at
tached to it. Had the victims been shot
or run through with a sword or had their
throats cut, I should have no sort of dread.
But this was new ground. Death had
come here, nobody knew how. It might
have come from an invisible hand, and in
dead silence. Yet when I reasoned upon
the subject, I felt sure that the murderer
must approach very near 19 his victim ere
the blow was struck, since it must be
some direct and powerful agent that could
produce death in so strange a manner.
I had crossed the little cascade 01 aaini
Esprit, aud was descending a short, deep
hillside, when I saw a young man by the
roadside, at the foot cf the descent,' en
gaged in whipping a mule. He was a
slightly built fellow, and his coarse gar
ments were covered with meal. I knew
that there was a mill upon a branch of
the Verdon, not far back, and I supposed
he might be a miller's boy. As I came
near 1 saw a large sack laying upon the
ground, close by where the mule stood.
"What's the matter?" I asked, a3 I
went up to him.
"This ugly mule has thrown both me
and my bag of corn from his back," he
answered.
"Are you hurt !" I continued.
"My left shoulder is hurt," he said.
"and I can't lift this sack again. If
Monsier would help me, I would be very
grateful."
Until this moment the idea of suspec
ting the young man had never entered
my head ; but the suspicion dashed upon
me now. He was altogether too keen a
looking fellow for a miller's apprentice.
He gave me a glance from a pair of quick,
sharp eyes, that me&nt more than he had
spoken. And then, if I had not been
very much mistaken, I had seen him
holding his mule firmly' with that left
hand." ' ' ' - - .
1 leaned from my saddle, and moved
towards Eim, being careful to watch his
every-movement.
"Now," said he. "If you will take hold
of that end,' we will put it'on.V He lifted
at the other end, and pretended' that it
hurt his shouleer, acd begged me to lift
it on alone.
I professed to be willing to comply,
and stooped dorn for that purpr.se keep
ing my head in such a position that 1
could watch him by a sidelong glance.
As I bent over and took hold of the sack,
I raw hira carry his hand to his bosom,
i
and drew something out. 1 saw his dark
eye flash, and heard hi3 quick, eager
breathing. In an instant I seized his
wrist and bent it upward, and as I did so
I heard a sharp report, like the eiplosion
of a percussion cap, and saw a tiny
wreath or smoke curl up from the hand
I held. He struggled to free himself
from my grasp, but I held with a grip;
of iron, and fastened my gaze upon him
. "I've found you, have I ?" I said, draw
ing my pistol, and cocking it. "I will
simply inform you that I am an officer of
w . .
rretecture, and that 1 have been hunting
for you. Just offer a particle of resis
tance, and a bullet goes through your
brain. Now give me the weapon."
The young man was frightened, and
tremoeied violently.
"It is only a tobacco pipe," he said, as
he handed it to me.
And certainly it looked like nothing
more, but I had seen enough cf it to
know that evil was in it. It appeared to
me to be an ordinary meerschaum pipe.
the bowl being cotared as though by long
use only the amber mouth-piece was
missing. I did not stop to examine it
th2n, but turned my attention to its own
er. I saw he was still trembling with
fear, and I knew that now would ba the
time to work upon him.
"So you are selling your soul to Mon
sieur Louis Cazaubon !" 1 remarked by
way of letting him know I was thoroughly
informed. He started, and I saw very
a .
plainly he knewju3t what 1 meant: but
he tried to recover himself, and asserted
that he did not know anything about the
individual I had named."

the 'present a ii l column paper, one half
in the English and the other half in the
German language; the German portion
of the paper will be increased from time
to time as the patronage received from

however will be to make an ever-working.
noiseless but etiective propaganda in fa
vor of immigration to Nebraska, and more
especially to the South Piatt i Latid Dis
tricts. It would be rather superfluous to say
on this occasion one word toward proving
the importance ot foregin itnlnigratioa to
this country. Immigration may bs called
the mother of the United States. Its im
ponauce has never been lost sight of by
any real American patriot or leading
politician ; it is one cf the few matters
about watch the intelligent raind?'cf all
parties in our youthful State thoroughly
agree. As we have the assurance of a
continued co-operatioa cf a number cf
highly educated gentleman in almost ev

abled to carry on an active and intel

ot emigration to Nebraska, ia preference
to any otaer portion of the United States,
by describing aud illustrating the differ

It is our plaa to systematically adver

fur all purposes of agriculture and horti

Union, aud that under the operation of
the Homestead Law 160 acres cf this
soil can be taken possession of by any
new coiner for the sam total of S14.00.
it is our purpose to send weekly a num
ber ot copies gratis to points ia Europe
where we know that it will help to turn
tne flood of immigration into tils new
cnannel.
'feus of thousands will thereby get and
spread the information of a new .State,
which to this day is a "terra incognita"

countrv shall be in truth "one and undi

triotism and statesmanship cf that party
which has carried ua triumphantly
through the perils of the recent past. . -
Pelieving this wa shall earnestly advo
cate the cfaims of the great "Union Par
ty," to the continued confidence of the
people with that candor and courtesy
that becomes the cause of truth. It i3 tha
truth that makes us free ; let us seek af
ter it with an earnestness becoming tha
great interest involved. All of our opin
ions in politics, in religion, ia moral?,
may be examined and must be to secure
the healthful action cf the public mind.
Truth must meet error, the struggling
powers are to come in conflict aod truth
13 to be elicited as the spark glances from .
the collision of flint and steel. If there
be any principle thai we cannot io good
temper examine od discuss with our co
temporaries, it shall be abandoned. If it
cannot be defended by argument, it shall
be laid aside. . '
We shall endevor in politics as well as
in all other questions that may ariss to
cultivate and promota at all times the
spirit of reconciliation, the great advan
tages whereof are so clearly exemplified
ia the early history and rapid growth of
our State. While other Ternlories from
the commencement had been torn by in
ternal dissensions, their soil overrun and
desecreted by border ruffians and when
the tocsin of. civil war was sounded by
opea. rebellica, their peoplo were mur
dered and pillaged by roving bands- of
lawless marauders, guerillas, and jay
hawkers the people of Nebraska led by
the councils of wrsdom and moderation,
have succeeded in frowning down all for
eign interference, ia resisting the earli
est encroachments cf domestic difficulty,
and during the whole time cf excitement
aad civil war all arouad U3 whether dif
ferences of opinion there may have .Leen
amoDg us peace and good order, prac
tical vigor and manly observance of the
Laws and Constitutional obligation havj
characterized the cenduci cf our people-"""
We are determined for our part to keep
up this same spirit, "and tF manifest at
every opportunity in the "Nebraska Stato
Gazette," our adherence to wise, and
moderate co'iasili, and 'show an ernest
and real public spirit thi! '. ho!J cf

In conclusion we pledge ourselve3 that
the Nebraska State Gazette will not bo

permanent institution ; it i3 true we do
not expect to derive any immediate pecu
niary advantage from our enterprise, and
certainly not fur the first twelve months,
but situated as we are, we will, and wo
can, patiently wait for our financial suc

we are determined to keep up and in
crease our paper, even if our patronage
should fall short cf our circulations.
Wuh this pledge, and having cur ob
ject steadily ia view, the Nebraska Stale
Uazette has commenced its effjrti, anJ if
the principles it advocates do not at all
times meet your approval, while we shall
adher to cur positions as long a3 we be
lieve them to be right, we will at least
merit your patronage and support by a
zealous aducacy of our local interest, in
regard to which there can be no difference
of sentiment, and by giving you ttie bcal
and general news of the day, in eighteen
or twenty columns of new reading matter
ia every issue, and by so conducting our
paper, as that you may, with propriety
introduce it into your familie3, and with
credit to yourselves and the new State,
circulate it" abroad.
The first number will appear a3 soon as
the balance of our material for the paper
ehall'be received. Meantime subscrip
tions and orders for advertiiemns'raay
be left at the Press office, or at Mohren
