Out of the great mountains of Southern Styria, probably the finest Stag and cha mois hunting left in Europe, comes a story with all the elements of romance and tragedy of a 17th century opera. Franz Lenger, notorious and daring poacher, was recently ar rested on the charge of four mur ders for robbery in remote home steads in the mountain valleys. Searching for evidence the police found in his mother's house a let ter he had written disclosing that his accomplice was a young wo man. Lcngger wrote that she was a born poacher and he had trained her perfectly for his work. Boast ing that his own haunts were tho crags and lofty fastnesses where no other hunter dared venture and where the finest chamois were found, he described the woman as equally daring and strong, no spot he could scale appalling her, while as a shot she had no equal. He stated that in August she had brought down six chamois, one stag and two , roebuck' and missed but one shot. Canning was first brought this country in 1821. to TRAIN OFFICIALS WRITE BOSS NOTES WHEN TRAIN IS LATE Paris, Dec. 20.
