TRAGEDY AT MUDvILLE
An Italian Woman and n Child
KILLED and u Man and
Woman Wounded.

A frightful tragedy occurred
near Midwife in the Brazos bot.
tom at an early hour yesterday
morning, and as a result the wife
of John Failla is dead, Carlo Con.
gelosi's 4.year-old daughter is
dead, Congelosi himself is danger
ously wounded, and an old Italian
woman was shot through the arm.
John Failla has been arrested and
lodged in Jail here charged with
the terrible crime. All the parties
are Italians. FailIa and Congelosi
married sisters and lived only n
short distance apart.
The killing was reported here
soon after it occurred and Sheriff
Num-, County Attorney Gamer
and others went out at once. The
sheriff returned with the prisoner
yesterday afternoon, while the
county attorney remained to look
after proper inquest proceedings.
Itappears from the reports that
Failla's wife was shot near his
home and the body carried into
the house, after which the scene OF
carnage was transferred to Cange.
losi's house. Parties who came in
from the scene report this house
riddled with bullets. Eighteen
bullet holes where bullets had en-
tered the house were counted, and
/ there were five holes in the head OF
the bedstead. The little girl lying
on the bed had her brains blown
out. The old woman shot through
| the arm is the mother of Cange-
losi. The latler's wounds are in
the side and thigh, and are not as
serious as at first reported, The
shooting Of the old woman and the
child was evidently merely Incl
dental to the wild and terrible fu
SHADE.
Rumors are aAoat regarding the
cause Of the crime, ascribing it both
to insanity and jealousy. Evi.
dence will doubtless be necessary
to establish this point.
