CHRISTMAS EVE TRAGEDY.


NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-An Italian dance
at Mamaroneck, N. Y. which was started
last night as a Christmas celebration,
ended this morning in a murderous row.
one man being killed outright, another so
badly stabbed that he is expected to die
and several others receiving bad wounds
The scene of the tragedy was the Foot
and-a-half House" From what can be
learned the row was started by Antonio
Dori. Veto Naraglano was waltzing around
the dance hall with a young woman who
had refused TO dance with Dori. The lat
ter followed them about the hall ridiculing
their dancing and making himself generally
disagreeable to them. Naraglano replied to
his taunts and Dori challenged him TO
duel The dance was stopped Immediately.
Naraglano and Dori started outside. fol-
lowed by all the reveiers. and the musicians
left their instruments on the floor. Nara
glano drew a revolver. Dori stileeto. The
latter made a plunge at Naraglano and
drove his stiletto deep into the mans
breast. Naraglano fired twice. One shot
tore open Doris's arm and the other struck
Antonio Guiseppi. one of the musicians. In
the eye, the bullet penetrating the brain.
This Immediately precipitated a general
fight. When the Italians had fought them

ceedingly that there should be any conflict

spect to the crime that would create any
doubt or uncertainty. The facts briefly are
these: On Tuesday night, Dec. Is. between

boris and was expected to Immediately re-
turn. Failing to return the police were
notified. About 1 o'clock on Wednesday
morning the coachman found letter on the
lawn fastened to stick and addressed to
Mr.. Cudahy. This was a five-page letter,
with lead pencil printing. and unsigned,
stating that they had kidnapped my son,
and demanded $4,000 in gold coin for his
return. and with specific instructions as to
whe~> the money should be placed. 1 pro-

same at the point designated in the letter.
We recognized that the leaving OF the
money was but a chance at best, but

sum OF 5000. These are the plain facts.

to decision on this point until the Brit
ish government shall have passed upon
the Senate amendments the governments Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica will not antici-
pate that action by any declaration at this
stage.
The Nicaraguan minister, Mr.. Corea.
was asked to-day as to the report that
he had protested In behalf of Nicaragua
against the amended form of the treaty
He said he did not care to discuss the mat
ter In its present status, but he pointed
out the unlikellhood that Nicaragua and
Costa Rica would protest while the matter
was one OF domestic policy. Later on, If it
assumed the concrete form Of a propo-
sition to be submitted TO Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, 1t would be for them to say
whether IL would be acceptable or not.
but in the meantime 1t was hardly
likely that there would be any protest or
any action concerning a subject still in
its creative stages in this country and in
Great Britain, and not yet before Mica
ragua and Costa Rica.
II also can be stated, not on Mr.. Coreas
authority. but as a fact, that the Nicara-
guam government has not, up TO this time,
defined its attitude on the amended docu-
ment Mr.. Corea forwarded it, with full
advices, but as the Senate acted only
few days ago, there has not yet been time
for the papers to get before President Ze-
laya's Cabinet. And, even then, as Mr..
Corea has pointed out, it is doubtful
whether Nicaragua will assert her position
ia advance of receiving overtures as to the
canal. 1t appears to be the accepted view,
however. in Central American diplomatic
quarters, that the Senate confined its con-
sideration to the interests of the United
States and other maritime powers and
failed to take into much account the inter-
ests OF those countries most vitality con-
cerned by having the waterway through
their territory.
The British government has not, up to
this time, given the slightest indication
as to it's purpose on the amended Hay
Pauncefote treaty. andit is understood that
the subject will not be taken up by the
British Cabinet until the draft of the
amended instrument and the advices of the
British ambassador at Washington are re-
ceived. The general results have been
briefly summarized in cables to the Lon
don authorities, but in a matter of this mag
nitude they would not act until they were
Under these circumstances, 1t is evident
that to-day's utterances of the London

PUEBLO. Col. Dec 24.-All day work Of
the police failed to throw any light on the
mysterious disappearance Of Maggie Hoel.
who yesterday left or was taken from the
home Of her uncle. Charles Beatty, short
distance west of this city. 1t has. how
ever, been learned that some time yester-
day morning a carriage drawn by white
horses was in the vicinity, and a richly
dressed woman got out of it and seemed to
be searching for something. 1t has been
impossible thus far to find such carriage.
The girl who is eighteen years OF age,
had q guardian in Missouri, and a young
man here was her lover. The latter is
grief-stricken, and does all he can TO aid
in solving the mystery. The simple and
innocent character of the girl seems to
preclude theories of elopement. and the
circumstances appear to indicate kidnap-
ing, but for what motive cannot yet be
learned.
On Sunday Mrs. Beatty left Maggie.
the missing girl, In charge of her little
child at her home Upon her return two
hours later her sister was gone. and the
baby was alone in the house. Marks about
the premises led to the immediate suspicion
by force. There were evidences Of strug-
gle and in the yard were found the foot
prints Of a man evidently of large size and
weight The footprints led in the direction
of the Arkansas river. and at some places
along the trail appeared the prints of small
er shoes such as Maggie Boel wore. At
other places the trail indicated that the
girl was dragged or carried by her captor.
Near the river bank, where the ground is
harder. all traces were lost. A large num-
ber of men have been searching but the
girl has not yet been found. At Mrs. Beat
tvs home Maggie's hat and the wrap which
she ordinarily wore out Of doors. were
found undisturbed. In the immediate vi
cinity a large force of men have been
working on reservoirs now under construc-
tion.

which have lavished private wealth on the

the lantern. supposing it was left by NOV
ers," who might have camped at that point
over night. The lantern was Immediately
placed in possession of a constable. who
brought it to Omaha this afternoon. To-
day two trouser legs and an undershirt
sleeve were found buried under the snow
near the fence adjoining the road. The
finding of the lantern settles, beyond all
question Of doubt. the exact location as to
the point where the kidnapers received
their ransom. 1t also gives the authorities
an important clew.
The trouser legs were intended for treas
ure bags, are of black clay worsted and
had been patched in the seats. The trouser
legs were cut of midway between the hips
and the knee. When the lantern was picked
up IT was filed with oil and the wick
showed that 1t had been recently used.
Near where the lantern was found were a
number Of ears of corn, part of the ker-
ncls yet remaining on the cob, indicating
that a horse had been fed there very re-
Gently. Tracks were observable in the soft
earth, showing that a horse had been tied
near where the lantern was found. On the
wire fence was a piece OF common white
wrapping twine. which had evidently held
the lantern in place while being used as a
signal to Mr.. Cudahy.

LONDON, Dec. 25, 4:20 a. m.-There is

All express regrta that the nation is still

were twelve months ago, and all engaged
in the monotonous and wearisome duties
against an evasjve foe and needing the
sympathy of friends at home at this fes-

that Christmas finds the British people in a
