HOW THEY ARE MISLED.
The Italian Emigration Inves,
LEGATION.
How the Agents Fleece Their
Victims.
A Visit to the Italian Slums in
New York City.
Happy on 81 a Day,

New YORK, July 27.-The congress
sional committee OIL emigration matters
met again to-day. Roberto Mario, man.
ager of the Italian Emigration Society,
resumed the stand. He furnished a list
of the sub-contractors who were known to
ply their trade among poor Italian emf.
grants. These people, he said, exacted
commissions from employer and employee.
In some cases he had known emigrants to
pay commissions to six or seven persons
and then not secure work.
The committee visited the slums of the
city under the protection of detectives last
night. Congressman Morrow of Califor-
MIA, one of the members of the committee,
said that the sights among the Italians in
Mulberry street were as terrible as in the
worst part of the Chinese quarter at San
Francisco.
Francis Zaphone, an Italian muleteer.
said he had come to this country in May
on a ticket which one Of Tocci's agents
had sent to his native village With in
structions to get a man. Witness told
about the wages he could earn in his own
country and that his wages would average
a little more than a franc a day. Out OF
this he had to pay house rent and the liv-
ing of his family. He might occasionally
get a present of a bottle of wine. He had
a wife and two children in Italy. Wit.
ness had thirty francs when he arrived,
but had been unable to get work since.
He had been taken care of by benevolent
societies. His family was starving. He
told Congressman Guenther that he was
willing to work for him at seventy-five
cents a day. If he had 81 a day right
along he would spend twenty-iv cents a
day for board and lodging.
You could live well on that?" asked
Congressman Guenther.
We'll, not very well, but pretty well.
| would be satisfied, " he answered.
Witness declared that he would be only
too glad to go back home. He was salts
ned there with what he was making. lie
had hoped when he came out here that
he could make enough money in a couple
OF years to go home and live.
Other emigrants testified in the same
general way. One told how he came to
this country with a large party of emf
grants who did not pay their passage
money, but signed an agreement to pay
the agent the moun out of the first
money they earned here. This man had
earned S27 since he came here in April,
and of that he had paid the agent sd
He still ives the agent S35. He is very
anxious to 90 back TO Italy. The agent
soliciting emigration in his native town
promised to secure them all work here at
81. so a day and upwards, but did not do

SEVEN KILLED.
A Bloody Shooting ARRAY in
Stevens County, Kas,
Seven of the Combatants Re-
ported Killed.
The Encounter May Lead to
More Shooting.

LIBERAL, Kas., July 27.-Shorty, a
livery stable keeper at Hugotown, gives
the following particulars regarding a ter
rible encounter between Hugotown and
Woodsdale men in Stevens county. where
by no less than seven men lost their lives.
Sam Robinson, the city marshal of
H~ogotown, and Mr.. Cook of the same
place, went to the Dudley ranch near
Pony creek yesterday, accompanied by
their wives, to look up some cattle which
they were trying to buy, and while taking
dinner Deputy Sheriff Short, a Woods
dale man, accompanied by five other
Woodsdale men, rode up to the party and
asked Robinson to surrender, as he had a
warrant for his arrest.
Robinson said he would go a short dis
lance from camp, leaving Cook and the
ladies behind, and then give his enemies
a chance to take him. He did so and on
reaching a convenient spot both parties
opened fire with the result that four of the
Woodsdale men were SLAIN. The other
two fed to the strip and Robinson es-
capped without a scratch,
Cook fastened to Hugotown and gave
the alarm and soon an armed squad went
to their assistance, meeting a lot of
Woodsdale men and an encounter took
place in which three more persons were
killed and a number wounded.
According to the livery man Shorty the
whole county is virtually at war. John
Cross, sheriff of Stevens county, was one
of the men killed in the second fight.
The names of the others killed could not
be learned.
Gerard, deputy sheriff of Stevens coun-
ty, gives the following account of the
affair:
A warrant had been issued to Short,
Cook and the city marshal of Woodsdale
for the arrest of Sam Robinson. Robin
son had gone to the neutral strip and
Short and two others went after him.
Sheriff Cross learning that Short and his
posse had been corralled in the strip,
started with four men to their relief, but
could not find them and started up the
trail and went into camp.
While asleep the Hugotown party sur
prised and disarmed them and made
them stand up in a line and shot them,
killing four and wounding one. The four
supposed killed were Sheriff Cross. r.
Hubbard. G. w. Eaton and R. Wilcox.
HI. Terry was wounded.
The latest report is that seven men
have been killed. So far reports are very
contradictory, but there is no doubt but
that the Stevens county people are in a
terrible state of excitement and more
shooting is expected.
GARDEN City, Kas., July 27.-Two
young men arrived here this evening
from Stevens county who claim to have
seen part OF the fight between the sheriff 8
posse and the Hugotown men. They
scout the idea of the wholesale killing,
although some may be seriously wounded.

DENVER, July 27.-George Q. Wilson,
who for some time past has been associa,
ted with Mr.. Nix as partner in the Al
bany hotel and with Mr.. Lowery in the
Fort Collins sandstone quarries, has dis
appeared and is wanted by those gentle
men who have become involved to the ex.
tent of $50, 900 by Wilson'S transactions.
Wilson claims to have a wealthy brother
in New York and to:be heir to an estate
near Boston which brings him an income
of $40, 900. He came here nearly a year
ago and upon these representations pur-
chased a half interest in the Albany hotel
cured by trust deeds upon some property.
Some claim that he has gone to raise
money to pay up his debts. Lowery left
for Chicago last night in hopes of finding
Wilson upon whose paper he has signed
himself for nearly $40 900.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Four Bohemian
citizens endeavored to bail out Rudolph
Sevic, the gunsmith anarchist, but found
that the bonds on five indictments against
him and his fellow conspirators amounted
to $3.50 for each man. This they could
not raise and Sevic remains in jail. One
of the indictments against the men is for
manufacturing, procuring, buying, making

he is in or out, there is always a crowd
of snobs hanging about the door. They

WAHPEToN, Oak, July 27.-The body
of l.. s. Elmer, who so cruelty murdered
pretty Mary Korbel, hangs suspended
from the bridge we the Bots de Sioux
river. A masked mob of 100 determined
men ~overpowered Sheriff Miller and his
deputy before daylight this morning,
broke through the Jail cages and took the
murderer out. The mob was we'll organ
lied, and headed by r~esolute men of
Wahpeton and Breckenridge. The sheriff
offered all the physical resistance his 260
pounds afforded, but did not attempt to
shoot or fight because the mob were all
his friends, and said the life of the muir
derer was not worth the life of a friend.
After the hanging the mob quickly dis
persed, and the hundreds of men and
women who witnessed the lynching went
home satisfied.
Elmer said he did not know why he
killed the girl and was sorry. When
asked if he wished to pray he said "No."
