Double Murder occurs mt McGreGor,
MINI.
DULUTH, Mimi, March 1s.-The most
cold-blooded and deliberate murder in
the annals of crime in Minnesota was
committed at McGregor, a village about
20 miles north OF here, some time Fri
d ay morning.
About o'cloek Friday morning
Arcangelo and. Nicholas Cristilli,
brothers, entered the small general
store kept by lien Jennetta and his
wife and riddled them with bull
let's from Winchester rifles. Jcn-
netta's head was blown nearly from
his shoulders and both he and his
wife died Instantly. McGregor is a
small lumber camp and is inhabited
mostly by Italians. The majority of
the members of the settlement come
from the same province in Italy and
have been acquainted for years.
In the dispatches from McGregor and
Aitl<en practically no reason is as
signed for the deed. 1T is said that the
two families had a quarrel over the
cutting of some timber, which each
claimed, and that this was what led
to the deed. But the crew of a
Northern Pacific way train which
arrived in Duluth Friday night
say that the murder was prompted
by an entirely different motive. The
Italians they talked with in McGregor
say that the bad blood between the
Jennetta and Cristilli families was en-
gendered in Italy, where brother of
Jennetta's wife stabbed in a street row
the brother of the Cristillis. The Girls
tilis are new arrivals in McGregor and
the trainmen say that the story is that
they followed the Jennettas to that
place for the express purpose of re-
venging themselves for the etabbing
of their brother.

Arrested-SeveraI Girls Rescued.
WEST SUPERIoR, Wis, March IA
The keeper of a forest house of ill-fame
in Carleton county. Mimi, just over
the Wisconsin line, was arrested
Wednesday night by Sheriff McKin-
non, of Carleton county. and officers
from this city, and three young girls
of Superior, who had been de-
coyed to the den, were rescued.
The police department for the
past week has been at work to locate
one of these girls, whose mother had
become exceedingly anxious, owing to
the fact that she had received nc
word from her. \ woman had
hired the daughter to do homework
and be sort of companion. Good
wages and light employment had
induced the girl to accept the PROPOSE
ton. After working on the ease day
or two it was found that the disap-
pearance of the girl was due To a pro-
curess. and the three girls were dis
covered Tuesday in backwoods
house near Carleton. There were
ten other young girls ranging
from Is to Is years of age
in the den at the time the pro-
prietor was arrested, and the distance
from any house or settlement is so
great that there is no chance of es-
cape of the victims who become iu-
mates of it. The place is similar to the
others 81 frequently described in re-
cent Nc RS in northern w consin and
