roads in 1908 and 10,296 were se
riously injured. These figures dei
not include any of the railroad em

the census was taken; yet this

quite reach that of 1906. There
were during ti e year 8,692 bond

from quarrel-, 7-86 from liquor;
712 by highwaymen, 678 from jeal

the year 198 highwaymen were
themselves killed as against 712
travelers killed by highwaymen.

in the south and 86 in the north.
