ITALIANS IN COURT
They Tell a Story of Disappointed
Love.
--<$---
INTERPRETER HELPS OUT
TALE OF ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO
KILL.
Mary Connella On Trial For the Of
fense-The Complaining Witness
Claims Trouble Was Because She
Wouldn't Marry Miss Connella's
Brother.

Mary Connella, a sad looking. little
Italian girl, was placed on trial before
Judge Norrell yesterday afternoon on
a charge of assault with q deadly
weapon with intent to kill. The COM
planning witness was Mrs. Mary Rosa,
a buxom daughter of Italy, with large
dark eyes and a winning way. A story
of love, of love that was disappointed,
was woven into the case as it was re-
lated by Mrs. Rosa through an inter-
prefer.
Disappointed Love. M
According to the Interpreter, who
purported to give true TRANSACTIONS of
Mrs. Rosa's answers, the Connella girl
had it in for her" because she would
not marry Miss Connella's brother.
This, the witness explained. was i'm
possible, even if she had had the, de-
sire, because at that time she was the
loving wife of Michael Rosa
On the morning of the 18th of last
June, Mrs. Rosa stated that she was
on her way home from a butcher shop,
when she met Miss Connella. An al
tercation ensued almost at once, for
the two women didn't like each other
little bit. Suddenly Miss Connella
pulled an ugly looking revolver. and,
aiming it at Mrs. Rosa, pulled the trig-
ger.
Aimed Weapon at Her.
Fortunately for Mrs. Rosa, Miss Con-
nella aimed the pistol at her. Had she
aimed it at somebody else the bullet
would probably have struck the COM
planning witness. AS it was, she eS-
capped unframed, and at once pro-
ceeded to make things interesting for
Miss Connella- She swore out a war
rant for her alleged assailant, and the
sad eyed little woman has been in trou-
BILE ever since.
There are twenty or twenty-five, wit
nesses, mostly Italians. who are to tes-
tify in the case, and it will probably
take most of today to hear them Mrs.
Rosa was still on the stand when court
adjourned yesterday afternoon.
Acquitted of Burglary.
John Quigley, Fred Mack and James
Gordon were tried yesterday morning
on a charge of burglary. They were
said to have broken into Alexander Me-
Chimes saloon in Murray June ID and
distracted therefrom two kegs of beer.
The state put UP a lame case, and
the jury after hearing the testimony
of Quigley, to the effect that he and
his friends hadn't uone nothin tall
out of the way" found the defendants
not guilty.

GOOD FOR THE POOR PEOPLE.
Huckleberry Crop of Michigan Is a God
send To Many.


Marquette, Mich, Sept. 7. - The
huckleberry crop of the upper PENN
sula never figures in the state agricul-
tural reports, but all the same it brings
thousands of dollars to this section of
Michigan, and most OF it is distributed
among the poor people. No efforts
have been made TO cultivate the buckle
berry and there is no corner on the
crop 1t grows wild over hundreds of
square miles of territory and every
body can go and pick.
This is condition of affairs of which
thousands avail themselves. Whole
families go out and camp from the be-
ginning of the huckleberry season,
about August, till good hard frosts
come in the latter part Of September.
Any industrious man OF woman will
earn $3.50 a day and children will earn
nearly as much. Many families earn
enough in the huckleberry season to
support themselves half through the
winter.
In additions to those who camp out
and make business of gathering ber-
RES to sell 10 the buyers, there are even
more who go out for few days during
the highth of the season TO pick for
their own use, or 10 pick and sell a few
bushels just TO get spending money.
Besides these there is still another
class which goes out simply to enjoy
the outing
