night arrested about forty Italians whom
they found congregated in store on Bur-

one of their number, charging that it was an
unlawful assembly. he police assembled in

examined at the station it was found the
men had Just arrived from Chicago this
morning, and that none OF them had any

for having come here, they were booked as
dangerous and suspicious characters

The Provenzano and Matranga factions
concerned in the tragic events of the past

time ProvenZano had the monopoly of the
fruit unloading and much other dock work
and were prospering. Matranga, who kept
saloon, finally determined to go into the
unloading business himself. He gathered
about him a lot of adherents and began
operations. War soon broke out be-

gangs, and finally eliminated, a

of the Matrangas gang. They were speedily
convicted. Hennessy declared his intention
of roofing out all of the assassin organiza-

officer in one of the big Broadway companies
said, but the way we sometimes get even

well known. A local agent and the consult

HE LIVED A DUAL LIFE.
A Train Dispatcher Who Maintained Tv

A Train Dispatcher Who Maintained Two
Establishments Suddenly Disappears.
Jefferson Park and Evanston are quiet
towns, but they sometimes furnish sensa-
ton. This time it is tbs sudden disappear
ance of Thomas Markham, who it seems has
been living dual life.
Markham has been employed by the
Northwes tern Railroad Company as train
dispatcher, and in both towns has been
known as an exemplary citizen and especially
so In Jefferson Park. at which place he lived
the greater part Of the time. 1t was little
over three years ago that he appeared in
Jefferson Park, and at once began paying
devoted attention to Miss Dora Harmon.
A little over year ago Miss Harmon and
Markham went to WatertOwn, Wis, and
while there, it is said, were married. On
their return home nothing was said about
their having been married until it became
necessary to make the marriage known and
then they began housekeeping with Marx
hams fether and mother. Recently baby
girl was born, and to all appearances there
was no happier couple on earth.
1t, however, was noticed that Markham
was away from home two and sometimes
three days in the week. He claimed that
his business was such that he could not
always be at home. But the real reason for
his absence was eventually found, and to-
day there are two women who wish they
had never met him. He would still be living
his double life had not the brothers of the
two women become acquainted. In the
course of conversation one said to the
other:
"Do you know Tom Markham ?"
u ought to know him, as he is my broth
er-in-l law" said the other.
They began an investigation at once, and
Markham hearing of it disappeared.
1t seems that four years ago Markham
was telegraph stationed at Ev-
anSton, and while there met Amelia Krue-
ger. After short acquaintance they went
to Milwaukee and were married. Soon
after he went to Jefferson Park to live, but
did not take his wife, telling her that he
had a father and mother to support, and il
they knew he was married they would re-
fuse to allow him TO do anything for them.
Two children have been born of this mar
rage.
The Evanston wife few weeks ago be-
came suspicious that all was not right and
went to Jefferson Park to investigate.
While there she learned of the existence of
the second Mrs. Markham. But Markham
succeed,d in getting her to return to Evans
ton. He admitted that he was living
with another woman, but claimed that she
was not his wife, and promised the Evans
ton wife that if she would say nothing they
would leave Chicago the first of the month
and 90 to ST. Paul, where he had the offer
Of position. Markham has been gone ten
days, and nothing is known of his where
