GOES EAST TO HIS SISTERS s
Stolen From Parents in Italy by
Gypsies When a Lad
OF Eight.

Separated for 80 years from his par
ents, and every blood relative, and not
knowing whether or not they might
be living or dead. j. Il. Rossetti, the
well-known local harpist, left in the
early part of last week for Baltimore,
Md. to search Tor two sisters. whom
he had discovered to be living some
where in that big city. For years he
has wondered where his parents were,
| il they were living. or dead, and where
he should find them. if they still liv-
ed. \ few days ago he became ac-
quainted with parties from Baltimore
who told him, to his own satisfaction,
that two sisters of his lived in that
eastern city, both married. He has
gone to find them, and his going
brings to light story more roman
tic in many particulars than most of
those enclosed within the covers of
fiction.
Thirty-eight years ago j. B. Ros-
setti. then lad in his Sth year and of
good parentage in Italy, was stolen by
a band of gypsies. who were attracted
to him through his natural aptitude
for music For time they kept the
play on the streets. where they went
for what pennies they could collect.
Finally, they received good offer
and sold him. body and soul, to one
of those Shareholders of modern Eur

harsh old padrone little Jean would
60 out with the other musicians every
day and play or the streets and i'm
restaurants for what money he couIu
secure. and. returning at night. would
turn it over and receive his supper.

Brought to America.
One day the padrone. having accum-
ulated through the efforts of Rossetti
and his other boy slaves. sufficient
sum of money to pay the passage,
took them all to New York. hearing
that there the Italian musician had
gold mine in the way of collections
awaiting him. But when the padrone
landed in New York with his little
band of supporters and Rossetti
breathed his first breath of free
American air Il change most remark
able came over him. He realized that
he was bound not to this man or to
any man, but to himself. And he
forthwith ran away. For many years
he knocked about the country. al
ways making a good living with the
harp over whose moods he was such
master, until he finally married and
settled down. Later he, with his
wife removed to Rock Island. Until

A PRACTICE SHOOT.

A large crowd assembled at the gun clubs grounds west of the Prescott Electric company's plant yesterday afternoon to see the boys slaughter blue rocks. The weather was nice enough to be out, but bad for shoot ing as the wind blew a perfect gale, which made the festive bluerock cut all kinds of fancy tricks. The score was as follows, each man shooting at 90 targets:
 Ray Hill, 31; H. c. Burmister, 31; Jake Marks, B; J. Archenbau, 24 |; Gil Ferguson, B; T. H. Bate, IS; Ben Hartwick, 24; Pickett, 35; M. E. Morin, 40; Robinson, 15; D. D. Me Donald, 37; R. B. Burmister, 25; Dr. Roper, 9; W. s. Parker, 20.
 Several of the shooters were new men some of them never having shot at a bluerock before in their lives, but they had as much fun as any body, and may be among the best shots of the club some of these days.
 The club is practieing regularly to get in the best possible shape for the territorial tournament to be held in Prescott next October.

As the heat became less intense the crowd edged closer to the wreckage. Sud- denly there was a terrific explosion, and mass of flames shot into the air and over the people standing near Men and boys fell between the waves of fire to rise no more. Huge pieces of steel moved down human beings by the scores. A veritable rain of fire overwhelmed the crowd. Many jumped into the creek in an effort to put out their burning clothing. Many of the injured were burned to death by the flaming oil, before help could reach them. The work of rescue could not be begun before one o'clock when volunteers removed the dead and in- jured to ambulances and wagons. Identification of the dead was impos- sible in most cases.

WALNUT GROVE BIRTHDAY

Craig, March 7.-( Editor Journal Miner. Last Saturday, February 2Sth, was spent very pleasantly by the children of Walnut Grove and Craig.
 The occasion was the celebration of the twelfth birthday of Marvin Piper, son of Mir. and Mrs. J. N. Piper. teachers of the Walnut Grove and Craig schools.
 The many friends and schoolmates of Marvin gathered early at his home in Craig. It was a beautiful sunshiny nlaying jolly out door games, led by the young host.
 When dinner was called the children entered the dining room, and large table laden with good things met their eyes, to which the children, their ap- petites made doubly keen by their out door sports, did ample justice.
 The most of the afternoon was spent in tramping through canyons and over hills, in which they saw many very pretty sights, and the wish of the children was that they had camera, but as that wish could not be supplied they imprinted the pictures on theil memories.
 On their return the children depart ed for home. declaring they never had spent a happier day.
