SICILIAN BANDITRY
PUNITIVE FORAYS FAIL TRAIN PASSENGERS ROBBED (9 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 29. The elaborate military operations which are being conducted against separatist bandits in Sicily do not appear to be having a decisive effect, says the Times’ correspondent in Rome. Shooting continues nightly in the hills between Palermo and Trapani The bandits a few nights ago held up a train and robbed passengers of money and valuables and also attempted to seize tiio Palermo wireless station. The chief bandit in the Palermo district appears to he Builiani, who threatens to rival the Neapolitan, Lnrnarcn, in popularity. He treated women in the train hold-up with great gallantry and, in an interview with an Italian journalist who was a passenger on the train, he showed himself a person of some education.
