BODY FOUND in A BARREL
EVIDENCE OF A GREWSOME CRIME
DISCOVERED AT CHICAGO.
Antonio NapOIi Probably the Victim
of "a Vendetta-Fruit Peddier
Arrested on Suspicion.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The body of Antonio
Napoli. whose head had almost been sew
cred from his body, was discovered in a
flour barrel on strip of prairie near Rice
street and Western avenue to-day. The
victims feet were securely bound in a
gunnysack and the body doubled, from
which it was apparent his slayer, or STAY
ers, had experienced difficulty in forcing
the body into the receptacle. Beside the
wound in the neck, there was a deep cash
on the mans face. Two workmen discov-
cred the body. They were attracted by the
stencil which came form a barrel lying on
its side. They investigated and then mott
fed the police. who advanced the opinion
that the man had been murdered last
night. Chief of Police O'Neill said the
work indicated more than mere robbery
had been intended, and suggested that the
man had been the victim of some vendetta,
as dollar was found on the body.
Later Rocco Cantre. a saloon keeper
identified the body as that of Antonio Ma
poll, whom he had not seen since Napoli
left Chicago, a year ago. He said NapOH
probably had gone TO make the rounds of
his old haunts and had met some enemy
or enemies After an investigation detec-
tives declared that the murder had not
been committed where the body was found,
but that the grewsome burden had been
brought to the spot in wagon. The bar
rel had been secured at both ends, but in
dumping it from the vehicle one of the
heads had been knocked out. Had il not
been for this accident the attempt to con-
ceal the crime probably would have been
successful. The gunnysack in which the
dead mans feet were tied bore the name
Datton An Italian fruit peddler, Vincenz
Dattei, has been arrested by the police,
who discovered in his shop several barrels
and bags similar 10 those in which the
body was found.
The place where the barrel was found has

Twelve years ago IL furnished another muir
der mystery, which has never been cleared
up. The victim of this old crime was Anne

BEAR HILLS THREE CHILDREN
lu the Mountains of Randolph County.
Lon ID rarsons Adrncn,n

From che Parsons Advocate
The three little children of Ed.
ward Z. Porterheld, were killed by
a black bear in the mountain
twelve miles southeast of Job, Rams
dolph County. The bodies were
found Tuesday evening on the
mountain side where the children
apparently lost themselves before
falling into the clutches Of the bear.
The children left home Monday.
and as they did not return, search
ing parties were Organized to scour
the country. One searching party
came upon the torn and mangled
bodies half way up the mountain.
The children had been fearfully
mangled by the bear. Their ribs
were crushed aud their flesh torn.
There was some evidence that Por-
teriield, aged seven years, the cid.
est of the three, had made n
struggle to defend the two smaller
children-Mary, aged three, and
William, aged five.
After the bodies were found, John
Weldon, Maryland hunter, start
ed on the trail of the bear. hunted
him down and killed him.
