MAIDEN FROM ITALY
DECIDES NOT TO WE'D
Came to Be a Wife, but Is Dis
appointed in Bridegroom
and Disappears.

Pretty, dark-Skinned Concettlna Ma
tale, a daughter of sunny Italy, who
Travelled to st. Paul all the way from
her native land, expecting to marry Jo-
seph Milazzi, an Italian who has lived
in st. Paul seven years, has disappear
ed from sight, and all efforts on the
part of Milazzi and his friends to To-
cate her have been in vain.
The seventeen-year -old girl came to
America under contract signed by her
parents, which bound her to marry Mi
lazzi, but when she arrived here Tues
day she found that her f1ance was not
at all the good-looking fellow she ex-
pected to find. Then, he was old
enough to be her father.
When the girl learned that MilaZzi
was the man she was expected to mar
ry, she cried, and when she had dried
her eyes she said things in her native
tongue. Then she disappeared.
Friendly Italians, who did not wish
to see the girl married to man she
disliked, took her in charge, and Court
Commissioner Gallick was appealed to
by them and the girl. When the stu
alton was explained to Mr.. Gallick he
promised to assist the girl and now

Gallick, and he won't tell.
MiIazzi Wants His Money Back.
Milazzi was not in an amiable mood
yesterday over the actions of the girl
he was to have married. He had spent
etwenty-feur hours searching for her,
but the search was useless. He then
went to the county attorneys office and
fnJ7 hi trn1 1nc Z in
broken English that he either wanted
the girl as a wife or the return of the
presents and money he had given her.
He says he paid her fare from Italy
here, and he also declares that he fur
nished money with which to buy her
clothing and other presents. He is not
going to lose all of this without an eff
fort
Court Commissioner Gallick was not
inclined to talk about the whereabouts
of the girl yesterday. 1t was claimed
that the girl had been induced to come
here by false representations, and it
was not deemed right to compel her to
marry a man she did not want to carry.
1t was stated yesterday that pretty
Concettina had been found place in a
Dayton's bluff family, where she is
working as a domestic, but Mr.. Gallick
would not say whether this was true or
not The assurance was given that the
girl was in a good family, and this was
all the information that was deemed
necessary by those .championing her
cause.
Judged Him by Photograph.
Miss Natalie came to America to mar
ry Milazzi without ever having seen
him. The marriage was arranged by
friend of Milazzi's who knew Concet-
tina and her family. Milazzi came to
America about ten years ago, and has
been in ST. Paul seven years. Some
time ago he told a friend of his lone
illness, and the friend showed him the
photograph of the pretty little girl over
in Italy, and Milazzi found no trouble
in convincing himself that he would
be willing to accept her as wife. Cor
respondence with the Natalie family re-
suited in a photograph being forwarded
to them, and inducements were put
forth which brought about the consent
of the girls parents to the marriage.
Even the girl herself agreed to the
marriage when shown MilaZZi'S photo
graph and told Of the money he had
saved up.
A marriage contract was drawn up,
signed by Milazzi, and then forwarded
to Italy, where it met with the approval
of the girls parents. All arrangements
st. Paul, bringing with her fond hopes
and the photograph Of the man she was
to marry. The picture. 1t is said, por-
trayed the pleasant features of a good
locking young man.
When the little girl from far-away
Italy arrived in st. Paul she would not
believe that Milazzi was the man she
was to marry, but she was finally con-
WINGED of the fact, and then she baked.
She declared she would not marry him;
that she had been deceived. She cried
and said she would go back to Italy,
but she had no funds to take her back.
Then she declared she would run away
she would do anything rather
than marry the man.
Her story spread beyond the circle
of Milazzi's friends, and she was taken
in charge. The rejected lover was in
formed at the Office of the county at
torney that there was little he could do
about the matter. He said he would
continue his search, but the people who
are befriending the girl say they have
little fear of Milazzi or his friends
finding her.
