Angelo Pelozi, who on Sunday shot
and killed Antonio Spinello at Old
Forge, is still at large but It is be-
lieved that he is in hiding in the
vicinity of his home. Absolutely no
trace has been obtained of him since
the shooting occurred and no one has
been found who saw him since he
ran down the road leading to Moosic
after the fatal shots were fired.
1t is known that Pelozi has several
relatives in Old Forge and the sup
position is that they were aware of
his enmity towards Spinello and anti
cipated that trouble would occur be-
tween them. Upon learning that the
latter was murdered they all refused
to say anything about the tragedy and
the detectives who are working on the
case cannot obtain any satisfaction
whatever from any of them.
The dead mans father is living in
New York state somewhere, but has
not yet been located. His name is
Raphael Spinello and on one of the let
ters found among Antonio's effects
was the address of SO Mulberry street,
New York.

by the elder Spinello at Chichester. N.
Y, last July. Word has been sent
to both addresses, but nothing has yet
been heard from either place. Unless
some information is received today
relative to the disposition of the body
the remains will be inferred by I'm

have been since Sunday evening.
Coroner Roberts held a post NOR

by one of the bullets penetrating his

shoulder. The victim was not shot
in the face, as at first supposed.

STORY ABOUT PELozI.


One story, which is vouched FOR by
z. j. Fallon, the well known hotel
keeper of Old Forge, is TO the effect
that about nine months ago in a rough
and tumble fight Pelozi bit a piece out
of his opponents cheek, kept it in his
mouth till the fight was over, eThib-
tied it to it's original owner. placed
it back in his mouth and ground l.;
between his teeth, growing all the
time like a lion at beefsteak dinner.
Loringo Bello, who was the victim of
Pelozi's cannabalistic attack, was seen
by Detective Leyshon and in ccrrobor-
alton of the story exhibited a hole in
his left cheek. The affair occurred
in front of Fallon's hotel and was wit
messed by Mr.. Fallon and a number Of
others.
Pelozi is we'll known to the county Y
detective. lie was one of the princi-
pal witnesses for the prosecution in
the Merolo murder case. He is the
witness who testified that he over
heard Joseph Salvi bargain with Me-
rolo to kill Loro for 500.

SEQUEL TO An ELOPEMENT
Father of Mabel Miller Orders
Aug. Anderson Out of
His Saloon.
On Sunday Anderson Carves Gus.
Miller, an Uncle of the
E1oped Bride.

1t was just week ago last Sun
day that pretty 16-year old Mabel
Miller of Morton, under the chap
erone of some robust bonhomie
youth of that town, stole away from
her home to the Good Thunder hill,
mile south, and placed herself un-
der. the protecting wing OF her
lover, Elroy Hanks, and in car
riage from Redwood livery stable,
drove to Sleepy Eye, from which
point the couple departed for Owa-
tonna, where they were married.
It was last Sunday afternoon, just
week later, that Morton people
witnessed sequel to the romantic
affair that caused two young hearts
to beat as one.
1t appears that VIM. Miller, the
father of the bride, suspects one
Aug. Anderson of having been one
of the chief assistants to the eloping
couple in their escapade from Nor
ton, and Oh Saturday evening, when
Anderson entered Miller's place of
business the latter promptly or
dered him out Anderson refused
to depart, but later went out and
invited Miller out to contest for
supremacy in the open arena of the
town.
Sunday afternoon, as result of
this affair, and the first cause, Gus.
Miller, an uncle of the bride, met
Anderson. and the story goes that
Miller was the assailant, and got
Anderson down. Anderson. how
ever, pulled a knife, stuck it into
Miller and turned it around once or
twice until Miller arose to dress the
wound.

course of four days. The Sanborn
Sentinel gives the following account
of the accident:
James Mckinney, a laborer on
the NJ. 4 I. Railway, was struck by
the east bound freight train No. Sc,
Wednesday evening at $50 o'clock,
about two miles east of town, in
Brown county.
He was in an intoxicated condi-
ton and laid down outside of the
track with his head between the
ties and next to the rails, and fell
asleep. He was awakened by the
approach of the train and raised him
self up just enough sothat the heel
of the cowcatcher struck him in the
head, cutting large hole and caus-
ing part of his brains to ooze out.
"The engineer saw the man be-
side the track but owing to the
heavily loaded train and steep grade
he was unable to stop.
Mckinney was brought to this
place, but as the. doctor was out of
town he was taken to Springfield, at
which place he died at 3 o'clock
this Thursday morning. Deceased
was taken in charge Of by Brown
county. Mckinney was practically
a stranger here, although he has
worked at threshing around here
for two falls.
The Springfield Advance, pub
lished day later than the Sentinel,
says that the evening train east
Wednesday ran over man lying
beside the track about two miles
east of Sanborn. He was lying with
his feet away from the track, and
head on the end of a tie, the train
striking his head and fracturing
the skull. He was brought to
Springfield, where he died at half
past three Thursday morning.
Nothing was found upon the body
by which the dead man could posi-
lively be identified. He was ap-
parently about 35 years of age,
dressed in plain but clean clothing.

and pipe, and a piece of paper

The last issue of the Marshall
Messenger seems to think that the
Northwestern road will extend the
Vesta branch due west through
townships directly north of Mar
shall, and through Hendricks, Royal
and Limestone townships in Lincoln
county to Watertown, thus passing
through territory not yet tapped
by a railroad and badly in need of
the same. In case such an exten-
! sion is made it is almost certain
that the Redwood branch will be
extended west to Vesta. The Mes
senger says that the company means
business is manifest from the fact
that surveying party got off the
train at Candy Thursday and is now
camped over in Lincoln county near
Lake Hendricks, where their opera
tions are to begin.
A Watertown special of May 9th
says that there has been quite a
little stir during the last two or
three days from the report that the
Northwestern railroad is about to
extend it's line from Watertown in a
direction thought to be northwest.
On Friday last surveying party
came here. and will begin work at
once. There seems to be a good
opening for a road running in that
direction, since it would pass
through good country. There
may be something in this PROPOSE
ton, whereby the Northwestern
will eventually connect it's line in
Vesta with road running north
west from Sanborn.
The Milwaukee and Northwestern
and Minneapolis & St. Louis roads
are all indulging in a row-a three
cornered row. and because the
Northwestern has dared to cut into
some Milwaukee territory in the
southern portion of the State. the
Milwaukee proposes to parallel the
Northwestern and Omaha, getting
into Cottonwood county from about
Fairmont, and running between
those two roads. Asurveying party
is'already on the line, and the ST..
James Journal has the following:
i The Milwaukee surveyors above re-
ferred to, with Engineer Swartout
in command, camped on the Waton-
wan near the Jarginson place Wed
nesday night. Mr.. Swartout came
into st. James on Tuesday, and
looked over the county records and
maps at the court house. He stated
that the line would be built this
season; would probably run through
st. James on the south and cross
the Omaha west of town: thence
west through Cottonwood and Muir.
ray counties. This information in
part is verified by E. A. Hopkins
who talked with large shippers in
Minneapolis on Wednesday, who as
sured him that the Milwaukee line
was sure thing for St. James.

REPORTERS SALARY.

BY an act of the last legislature
the position of stenographer of the
district court is not only made ap-
pointive by the court, but is also
placed on salary basis. Hereto
fore the salary has been $40 per
day whenever the reporter was en-
ploved in court. Aside from this,
of course. there were the customary
fees for transcribing. The new
law, Chapter al, gives the report
er salary of $1,000 per year and
the usual fees for transcribing. The
salary, according to the law, is to be
paid pro rata by the different
counties Of this judicial district,
according to the amount of litiga-
tion that occurred in the county the
year before.
Judge Webber has just filed with
the county attorney his appointment
of Wenzel T. Eckstein, the present
efficient stenographer, as reporter
for the ensuing year, and with it
the apportionment of salary each
county is to pay Mr. Eckstein.
Redwood county must pay him the
highest monthly salary of any
county in the district. the sum be-
ing nearly so higher than any
other county. This is due to the
large amount of litigation in the
county during the past year, arisS
ing out Of bank and other troubles.
The apportionment by counties, is

The fact that Lincoln county has
very little litigation and only one
term of court each year makes its
monthly pro rata exceedingly small.
