and E!OpeS with His Niece.
CRESTON, To-, March 1T. G. Pence
and a niece, Eta Pence, seventeen
years old, eloped, taking with them
his thirteen-year-o son. He left the
impression with his wife that he was GO
ing to the country with the expectation
of trading some Nebraska land for
lands in the vicinity of Nevinville. He
did not return the next morning, and
she waited until today, and, on inves-
tigation, finds he also took with him
his niece, Eta Pence. On leaving his
wife he drove to North Hill, where he
was met by his brother, Hugh Pence,
and the latter's daughter, Eta. When
the two brothers met Hugh gave his
team and wagon to Tom, who, with his
little son, got into the wagon, while
Hugh took charge of the horse and bug
gy. The girl remained in the wagon,
and, without any farewells, parted
with her father to elope with her uncle,
and with her fathers consent and ap-
proval. The father protests he does
not know where they We're going 1t
is learned that this is the fifth time
that Pence has participated in such an
sscapade. Indignation against the
Pence brothers runs high.

QUARRELED OVER SAWLOGS
Each Of the Victims Is In
stantly Killed by a Single
Shot.
THE MURDERERS RUN AWAY
But Reconsider, Return and
Are Taken to Aitkin and
Locked Up.

CARLTON, Mimi, March 15.-An
awful tragedy occurred at a small
hamlet called McGregor, situated on
the Northern Pacific railroad about
twenty miles west of Carlton, about
z o'clock this morning. A family by
the name Of Jennetto, consisting Of
father, mother and four children,
the Oldest twelve years and the
youngest a nursing baby, lived in a
cabin and kept small store there.
Two Italians who were clearing up
homestead near by had some
trouble with Jennetto over some saw
logs, which resulted in a quarrel
last night. The Italians, whose
names are Nick and Angelic Girls
tello, brothers, left the Jennetto
cabin late last night in an angry
mood, and returned this morning to
renew the quarrel with Jennetto.
They were armed with a Winchester
rife and Zulu shotgun, and Nick
Cristello shot Jennetto with the
shotgun,
TEARING A Gaping. HOLE
in his side, and Angelic shot Mrs.
Jennetto with the Winchester, blow
ing the top of her head off, killing
both instantly. The children were
in bed at the time. Another family
by the name of Ritola occupied an
other portion of the Jennetto house,
and, of course, heard the disturb
ance, and Mike Ritola rushed into
the room just as the first shot was
fired. The gun was fired so close
to his face that it almost burned
him. He Immediately ran to the
depot and notified the station agent,
w. a. Ross, who gave the alarm.
The murderers escaped to the dense
woods and were lost sight of, but
the sheriff of Aitkin county, who
lives at Aitkin, twenty-five miles
further west, at once formed a posse
to go in pursuit. The cabin present
ed a sickening sight, blood and
brains being spattered all over the
walls and floor. The poor children
were shivering with terror. Tele-
grams were sent out by the sheriff
to all officers in neighboring towns
and villages, giving descriptions of
the men, and there seemed to be no
chance of their escaping. About
noon the
MURDERERS CAME BACK
to McGregor, and said they were
going to Aitkin to give themselves
up, but the local officers held them
there until the arrival of the Sheriff,
who at once took them to Aitkin to
the county Jail. The Cristellos said
they were afraid of getting lost in
the woods, and so gave themselves
up. The murderers are brothers..
Nick Cristello is about feet inches,
100 pounds, so years of age. Angelic
is about feet inches, $50 pounds,
27 years Of age. The Jennettos were
a much-respected family in the
neighborhood, and intense excite
ment prevails. The news spread
like wildfire, and the principal rea-
son for the murderers' return was
that they were afraid of being
lynched by some of the woodsmen
who were in camps a few miles from
the scene of the murder.

day to the legislature ON it's mine in
spection junket. The party came down
from Ely at 10 O'Clock in its special
train of seven coaches, and before din
ner went through the plant of the
Minnesota Iron company, at Soudan,
two miles above here. All of the diff
ferent shafts of the property were
visited. In one of them descent was
made to one of the main levels, about
500 feet below the surface. On leaving
here this afternoon the party went to
Virginia City to see the mines on the
Mesaba range. This evening a re-
ception at Virginia City was arranged,
and the train will remain there all
night. The return to Duluth will be
tomorrow afternoon, and in time for
a banquet at the Spaulding tomorrow

the Solons in their travels are General
Manager Holman and Vice President
Sellwood, of the Duluth and Iron

DISTURBED THE POOL,
The Western Freight Agreement

CHICAGO, March 15.-The meeting
of freight traffic managers, which for
several days has been wrestling with
the question of divisions on freight
traffic, adjourned today subject to the
call of Traffic Manager Bird, of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul. No agree
ment was reached on divisions, but it
was decided to hold the second meet

ment is brought about at that time
that all lines will go back to the di-

Murder and Suicide.

STEVENSVILLE, Mont, March 15.-
Last night A. B. Smelling shot and
killed Charles Mccullough; then he
went to a neighbor's house and bor-
rowed Winchester, and, putting the
muzzle in his mouth, shot his own
head off. The men had been drink
ing during the day. On the way home
they stopped at the ranch for awhile.
Mccullough soon wanted to go on and
asked Smelling to hitch up. This
seemed to anger Smelling and he got the
gun and fired.

not to grant the farmers seed wheat

lost an aggregate of $4,000, and it was

California Women Briefly Enjoy

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March Is
There was some clever lobbying done
in the state senate, and the women of
California all acquired the right of
suffrage today. A fortnight ago the
assembly passed a bill comforting the
right on all women to vote. This bill
was defeated in the senate today.
While several opponents of the meas
ure ia the senate were absent the bill
was reconsidered and passed by a vote
of 19 to 4. The opponents of the meas
ure rallied, however, and secured the
defeat of the bill by vote of 20 to Is.

thousand inventions, nearly all Of which
have been patented, and the models Of
the most important have been shipped
here froTzs the Washington patent Office.
It added to my establishment to find
that four Of the inventions, all in the
agricultural line, were by Hon. q. w.
Murray, the. only colored man in the
Fifty-third congress, for I had not inn
agined that his mind ran that way. The
managers tell me that many ingenious
negroes are now toiing hard to invent
better cotton gin, for it is admitted that
the one now in use does some injury to
the fiber. The first patent to any of the
race was awarded in 1916 to Joseph
Hawkins of West Windsor, n. J. He
was practical cook, and the invention
was gridiron. It was valuable, too, and
with subsequent improvements came
into extensive use. Soon after a slave
in Kentucky invented a machine for
cleaning hemp, but the patent was taken
out by his master, and even the name of
the inventor is now unknown Several
of the latest inventions are for use in
parlor and sleeping cars. as might be
expected from the general employment
of colored men there, and one, for ex-
Guiding dust and cinders while admit
ting air, is thought by experts to be of
great value. Another much spoken of is
the gong signal chair, invented by Miss
Miriam E. Benjamin. She was born in
South Carolina and educated in Massa-
chusetts and is now taking a medical
course at Washington. By this device a
patient in hospital or one waiting in
railway station can call an attendant
from an adjacent room without making
any noise. The inventor claims that but
half or a third as many attendants will
. be needed and the quiet and comfort Of
patients and guests greatly promoted.
Mr.. J. E. Johnson, the colored man in
charge of these exhibits, is a special
agent of the patent Office.
The Negro building is 276 feet long,

the great opening for those philanthro-
pists who wish to spend money for the
good of the colored people. Enough has
been done for education at present, but
there are certain lines Of manufacture
for which the mixed race Of the south is
peculiarly fitted. There are preachers

The county commissioners should ex-
ercise great care in the matter of pre-
senting the bridge proposition to the
people this time Another failure would
be disastrous. 1t would take years to
again get the matter to vote. One of
the most important considerations in the
matter is that the new bridge be con
structed of sufficient width and strength
to admit of its use by the city railway,
the railway company to pay its share.
Nobody will want to see the unsightly
trestle which the company is using any
greater length of time than is absolutely
necessary. If such bridge is provided
for, and there shall oe no suspicion of
steal in connection with the proposition,
it ought to and probably will carry.
