Between Two Dancers, and a Woman
Started the Trouble.


| BY Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 24-An italian dance

last night as a Christmas celebration

row, one man being killed outright,
aud another SO badly stabbed that he
is expected to die, several others re-
ceiving bad wounds.
The row was started by Antoni Dolr.
Veto Naraglano was waltzing with a
young woman who had refused to
dance with Dori. The latter followed
them about the hall ridiculing their
dancing. Naraglano replied to his
taunts and Dori challenged him to a
duel. The dance was stopped imme-
diately. Nlaraglano and Dori started
outside, followed by all Of the revllers
and musicians. Naraglano drew re-
volver and Dori stilletto. The latter
made plunge at Naragiano and drove
the stilletto deep into the mans breast
Naraglano fired twice. One shot
tore uDon Doris arm, and the other
struck Antonio Guiseppi, one of the
musicians, in the eye, the bullet pene-
tratlng the brain. This Immediately
precipitated a general fight When the
Italians had fought themselves tired,
Guisseppi and Naraglano were helpless
on the ground. Dominica Chippi and
Guisseppi Cortez were bleeding from
many cuts.
Guisseppi, the musician, died tonight
and Naraglano is still unconscious.
AS but little information can be OBJ
tanned, no arrests have been made yet

YOUNG GIRL
Is Missing, and Seemingly Without any
Cause.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Pueblo, Col. Dec. 24.-All day the
work Of he police has failed to throw
any light upon the mysterious disaD
pearance Of Maggie Hoel, who yes
terGay left or was taken from the
hCme of her uncle, Chas. Beatty, a
short distance west of this city.
1t was learned some time Yesterday
morning that carriage drawn by
white horses was in the vicinity and a
richly dressed lady got out of it and
seemed TO be searching for something.
Thus far it has been impossible to find
such a carriage
The girl, who is 1S years of age, had
a guardian in Missouri and a young
man here is her lover. The latter is
grief stricken and is doing all he can
to aid in solving the mystery. The
simple and innocent character of the
girl seem to preclude the theories OF
elopment and the circumstances seeem
TO indicate kidnapping, but for what
motive cannot yet be learned.
