Bold French Apache Captured.
A daring outrage was committed by a one-legged hooligan in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, early one recent morning. Two policemen found a young woman lying on the ground with two knife wounds in the back. She told them she had been attacked by a man with a wooden leg, who had gone away in the direction of the Avenue Kléber. The police hurried after the apache, and near the Arc de Triomphe caught sight of a one-legged man hobbling away as fast as he could. He was ordered to stop by the police, but pulled out a revolver, and, standing with his back to the wall, shouted to a policeman who was only a few yards away, "Stand back or I fire." The policeman knocked the revolver out of the apache's hand and secured him.
