NOTORIOUS CUT-THROAT.
BRIGAND CHIEF'S END. London, May 10. A message from Larissa, in Greece, announces the death of Captain Lalios, tho famous! brigand chief and notorious cutthroat, of Thessaly. In 1911 Lolios organised a company of ■ murderous brigands and started a cereer ; of crime and reign of terror in the IU-igli- i bourhood of Mount Olympus. On one occasion ho was captured and | was .lodged in the gaol at ICassani. By I some means he managed to break out of prison. . Once in the open, the brigand chief or- | ganised another band. j Lolois in his early career joined coin- I panv with'the Turkish robber Strati. They operated for a long time in Tliessnlv. The greatest of their coups was (lie cnplure "of Professor Richtcr, 1 lie eminent German geologist, whom they hold for ransom. Each of the chiefs got =£21)00. Strati ilien abandoned brigandage, having made a splendid fortune, and ho retired lo Alexandria to spend the rost of his (Utvs in ease and luxury. Lolios was waylaid by one of his own band, who took his share of the ransom and reported tho whereabouts of the brigand chief, who was arrested and thrown into gaol. . . . Since his escape the bneand _ and lus> mvrmidons have been revelling in an orgy of crimes, and a small army of soldiers has been constantly on their heels. ; At last tho soldiers came upon Lilois, and located his whereabouts in the rugged mountain fastness at Tsplasa. lie defied arrest, and was shot after making a .strong defence. —Sydney "Sun.'
