A BRIGAND’S REVENGE.
A sanguinary deed was committed only a few days ago by one Kaloghero, the chief of a robber band established for some months past in Thessaly, near Mount Olympus. This ferocious outlaw had sent two of his men into a village to purchase food and necessaries, and furnished his emissaries with a considerable sum of money wherewith to pay for the stores in question. The bandits, however, did not return to their expectant comrades at the appointed time, and search being instituted for them throughout the neighbouring district, their bodies were discovered two days later near Rhapsani. Kaloghero soon found out that they had been poisond by the peasantry of the village to which he had despatched them for supplies, whereupon he at once betook himself thither, and avenged his followers’ death by stabbing with his own hand twelve of the villagers, one after the other, as lie mot them in the streets. Having completed these cold-blooded murders, he returned unmolested to his mountain fastnesses, where he slill bids defiance to all constituted authorities. For remainder of news see last page.
