STOLE THE BRIDE
ANZAC BANDIT IN TURKEY ,' LONDON, January 3. ‘ A former Aniac lieutenant found yiandrt-mE on Gallipoli suffering’from shell-shock after the evacuation, is now the elusive bandit king of ./Turkey, according to the Angora correspondent df - 4 The People.’ He was allowed freedom because of the Eastern awe of those “ stricken by God.”. He recovered *and took refuge in the hills, and is now known as “El Giaour,” meaning “ The . Infidel.’-’ He at first acted as a lone bandit, heavily masked and armed. His daring and elusiveness established him as a popular hero, and attracted to him a band of Turkish ex-soldiers. A small army of Turkish police has fruitlessly pursued him for eight years. Now Mustapha Kemal, President of Turkey, insists on his capture because he raided Mustapha’s personal friends at a bethrothal feast of an Angora beauty, robbed the men, danced with all the youthful females, and abducted the bride. ’
