ITALIAN REVENGE.
The Workers ON "a Railroad Murder
an Italian Sub-cOntracfOr.


KoKoMo, IND, May 16.--During last fall a
company of Is Italians procured work on
the new Lafayette, Burlington 4 Western
railroad under the supervision of Contrac-
tor McCarty now Of this city. Four OF
them, II seems rented an old out-building
on the farm of Mrs. Livingstone, IL miles
west of the city. When winter set i'll and
work was suspended, these four Italians
who were all thar remained Of the IL
worked about the neighborhood ~ odd
Jobs and lived Us hest they could until Tues
dny the 5th instant in hopes of getting the
wnpes due them from the railroad company.
The Monday following they were seen
burning up rubbish near their cabin. Tues
day they boxed up their things and hired
Buck Livingstone to take them to Flora
station in Carroll county, stating TO Living
stone that they were going to Chicago. But
/ ono was absent and the remaining three
| bought tickets to Cincinnati.
Nothing more was thought of the mattel
until Thursday morning when Livingston
and W. #. Kelly went To the shnnty AMI dls-
covered an old mattress and two pillows III

aroused suspicious, and they Immediately
instituted u search of the. premises, On
going down the rtlvine 100 yards from the
house, they discovered II fresh pile ol
| dirt in a secluded spot and began to Dig
| and were soon Mortified ut finding mans
arm. They quit digging, and sent word to
| Coroner smith of this city. The coroner
had the whole body disinterred, and II was
| identified us that OF Antony Nicoli, the
boss of the laborers, and sub
| contractor on the railroad work. IL,
| had "a rope about five feet long around hii
neck and had his skull crushed in by wha
appeared to be the pail Of an axe or
heavy club. The rope was used to drag thu
body from the scene Of the murder to IL
burial place.
These is some evidence going to shoV
that the other Italians had threatened him
believing that he was responsible for thei
not getting their pay, and this mos
probably was the cause OF tn
deed, as Nicoli had neither none
nor valuables to tempt them. The las
seen OF Nicoli alive was Saturday evening
MAY 81. This night, it is believed by til
neighbors, was the time OF his murder !,
his companions. The inquest is now

Company the respondent, is now before the

injunction restraining the Sitting Bull Com
pany from proceeding further.

pany. Fifty-siX days were consumed in tho
| trial. and the defendants in the action ex
pended thousands OF dollars in procuring
mapsa and cuts ofthetwo tunnelsa and adjacen
| claims. The law Of apex was the princlpa
| point involved. The Sitting Bull compan.
appealed from the decision, 1t is said tina
under Judge Church's opinion claims ar
not secured by United States patent. Tn

TIE cHrLp-so1DIER.
Philip GILBERT I1amerson.

A little boy stood on the field,
little English boy;
II was merry game thought he,
And he was brisk with Joy,
For the battle seemed but sport to him,
And every ball a toy.
He was British Grenadier,
And he was ten years old;
And therefore what had he to fear,
A soldier brisk and boldY
The little lad was bravely clad
In English red and gold.
Undnunted when the iron balls
We're bOwled along the ground
He marched unhurt where six-foot men
Their graves of glory found;
He marched along with a stalwart throng
To the cannon's awful sound.
But when the battle had been fought,
And ON the field at night
Lay fifteen hundred Englishmen
In miserable plight,
The little lad would take no rest,
Though wearied with the fight.
But, stepping over many corpse,
His comrades saw him go,
And risk his life by passing close
To many n wounded foo.
"What means the ludp He must be mad
To court destruction soF
| They watched him. He was gathering wood,
Il warmed their hearts to sec
| That fearless lad-of broken stocks
| A heavy load had he.
| He made fire upon the field,
And boiled u can Of tea.
Cold, cold, and stiff the wounded lay;
Yet still one cheerful spot
One fire was blazing brightly near
One kind friend left them not;
And grateful were those pleasant draught'
He brought -steaming hot.
And so he passed the midnight hours
With hell on every side;
And during that long dreadful night
In suffering hundreds died;
But some were saved by the soldier lad
And the comforts he supplied.
AT Balaklava, and the height
OF Inkerman-the grave
| or thousands--this heroic child
Fought bravely with the brave.
TIemmed round by Russian bayOnets,
He still survived to save
/ The lives of others afterwards;
! And there are those that say,
That, but for that good-hearted boy,
, They must have died that day,
l When on the field of Inkerman
: The helpless wounded lay.

re sits him down at twilight hour
Before the ivory keys,
And lets his fingers wander DER
The clavier as thoy please.
The dreamer plays and lets his dreams
Take form whate'er they will;
Sometimes in diapasons full,
Or voices small and shrill.
And MS he sits with whitened locks,
Unbinding harmonies,
That speechess lie In soundloss chains
Beneath the placid keys, .
A golden ray from blazoned pane
Streams in through pictured saint,
And bending DER him musing there,
Creates u picture quaint.
Translgurcd in the waning light
A youth once more he seems!
Each silvery lock, no longer white,
With golden sunlight CLEANS.
| The decades passed since youth was his
Like broken dreams appear;
And like dream this Ev6nsong
| To weary souls so dear.
| The choristers have sung thoir psalms,
The priest the lessons read;
But still absorbed the dreamer plays
To other fancies dead.
The pictured glass is dark again,
Tine flowing locks are white;
The organ moaning, dies in pain,
As dies the fading light.
Though dark and still the empty churcl
An angel ilies o'crhead,
And passing near with dropping wings,
lie leaves the dreamer-de,ld.

nesday evening over the report that Q. N.
Comedies the wealthiest and leading
citizen In town, had made Il muir
derous assault on his wife. 1t is
said Comedies returned by the morning
train from business trip and found some
unpleasant differences had occurred during
his absence between his wife and his
brother, A. s. Comedies.
Mrs. Comedies during the afternoon Ivy
down ON sofa, fell asleep from which
sleep she WIS awakened by a
footstep which she thought to be
her husbands. The intruder ap-
preached the sofa, dealt her q
terrific blow on the head with some
blunt instrument and then hastily
left the darkened room. Mrs. Con
neles cries brought aid. DR.. Durham
was summoned and found the lady insensi
bic with wound over the right eye, which
will probably prove fatal.
Comedies being suspected was immedi-
| ately arrested and gave bonds in $40, 900 fo
| his appearance. He denies the charge. A
s. Comedies was also arrested to-da.
| ut Baird where he was attending court. Tn

THE JUNE CRICKET.
Tn the Madison Square I'i,rlI
Joel RBentOIl.


Tented in the short green grass,
While the moon shono In the sky,
A cricket, close to those who pass, ..-
Uttered the old familiar cry,
Little needed he tho noise
of the crowded city street,
But blew his flute with stridrnt voice
Unmindful of the tramp Of feet.
Hundreds briskly hurry by,
Listless TO the song they pnss;
No policeman stops his cry,
Or orders him, keep off the grlss!'
who note the steady tune
That he with such relish plays,
Wonder how this note Of June
Came to take to city ways,
Fur from native haun's Withdrawn,
He sings the old song Mt my feet
The prelude OF n country lawn
Statutes the curious city street.
Rustic scenes are not at hand;
No ripping rivnlet wanders near;
Hard II is to understand
This voice in such an atmosphere.
Brave little cricket, pipe away;
Let your bitterness melt In songl
lis the cheeriest roindelay;
shall thank you for it long.
Torn from spring-time, robbed of June,
Shut up to the city street,
Much thank you for your tune
Uttered from this strange retreat.
