A private in the Millertou Rifle s named George Brown, a coalminer, while marking in the butts at Millertou on Sunday, looked up over the mound while shooting was going on, and was shot in the chin. He was brought to Westport by a special train, but died on reaching the Hospital at night. The deceased was a married man with a family of three young children. Just before the shooting he was cautioned by the captain of the company, who was marking in the butts, to be careful about exposirg himself. The red series, as the French newspapers call the daily list of murders and other crimes of violence in Paris and the province, is not, as some optimists declare, a passing phase. Statistics show that the tide of crime in France during the last thirty years has been steadily rising, the figures having almost doubled in that period. What criminologists regard as a most disquieting symptom is the enormous proportional increase of juvenile crime. The proportion of murders and attempted murders on the part of the young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one is 4.20 per cent, of the general volume of crime, as compared with 2 per cent, for all ages above twenty-one. The band of armed Apaches who infest Paris are for the most part boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty. Between 1896 an 1995 undiscovered crimes increased considerably, and it is estimated that the returns for the last year or two will be still more formidable.
