The sad news Of the tragic death
Of Claude A. Bagby at Notre Dame
Ind, last night, was received a half
hour later by the parents. Mr.. and
| Mrs. W. N. Bagby. at Animas City
The tragedy was the result OF little
fun which had been planned by sew

for their friend. they proceeded with
the sham hold-up. when Roqnela,

striking young Bagby near the heart
The unfortunate boy fell and expired
In few minutes.
Advices state that young Roquela
is almost crazed since learning that
the boys had intended only to have a
little fun.
The father, w. n. Bagby, secretary
of the Porter Fuel company, was seen
this morning, trying to bear his grea
burden OF grief. He said: Il think the
boys who remain at the colleges dur
ing the holidays. having nothing
do, find time wears heavily, and the.
resort TO any and all sorts OF fun
never intending to do harm. but 81
often harm results"
All living in the Animas valley dur
ing the past quarter century know
that the parents of the Bagby girls
and boys have succeeded well In rear

of them have been encouraged In any

so frequently have wrought sorrow in
the homes of the country. This un

Three sisters now reside in Chicago
the two eldest teaching music and the
younger attending the Chicago Uni

the family reside at Animas City
| where three of the seven children
were born. The Herald among the
many friends of the family extends
deepest sympathy.
The dead boy is being embalmed
and will be returned to Durango fol

here within five days.
This is the first death in the family

gloved hand, "I-l suppose you know
you've heard oil about the discovery to-
day up at the woodY need not tell you
anything about it."

would tell me about it," | said gravely,
inviting her to chair and seating my
self. s"Ive heard some extraordinary

We sat for long time discussing the
strange affair. In order to betray no
eagerness to get away, offered the big
Highlander q cigar from my case, and
we smoked together. The inquiry would
be held on the morrow, he told me, but
as far as the public was concerned the
body would remain as that of some per-
son unknown"
"And you had better not come to my
uncles house, or send anyone" said.
IF you desire to see me, send me line

The officer looked at me with those
keen eyes of his, and said:
Really Mr.. Gregg | can't quite make
you out, confess. You seem to be APP
prehensive of your own safety. WhyW
italians are very curious people,"
responded quickly. "Their vendetta
extends widely sometimes"
"Then you have reason to believe that

when living in Italy," laughed, as
lightly as l could, endeavoring to allay
his suspicion. "He may have fallen
beneath the assassin's knife by giving
quite small and possibly innocent
offense to somebody. Italian methods
are not English, you know"
"By JOve, sir, and Pm jolly glad
they're mott" he said. 81 shouldn't

cieties I've read about"
"Ah! what you read about them is
often very much exaggerated" ! assured
him. at is the vendetta which is such
stain upon the character of modern
Italy; and depend upon it this affair in
Rannoch Wood is the outcome of some
revenge or other-probably over love
affair"
"But you will assist us, sirH" he urged
"You know the Italian language, which
will be of great advantage; besides, thu
victim was your servant"
"Be discreet" | said. "And in return
will do my very utmost to assist il
hunting down the assassin"
And thus we made our compact. Hal
an hour after was driving in the dog

Young men tell from the fourth story of
the Lake Shore Railroad Office buildin 6
in Cleveland, Ohio, and were hsrled to
their death on the pavement below at 8
o'clock yesterday evening. The dead
men are j. v. Bunts, aged 80, and
Harry Wilfred, aged II years, both Of
whom were clerks in the Office of the
superintendent of motive power OF the
Lake Shore Railroad. Bunts was killed
instantly aud Wilfred died in an ambu-
lance while being conveyed to hospital.
The young men had had some trouble
previously and a renewal of this late yes
terday afternoon led to an alteration
between them. II was as result OF
this that they fell from the window which
was open directly in front of them. The
scene of the tragedy was in the center OF
the down town business district and
dozens of horrifed persons witnessed it.
During their light through the air from
the fourth story to the pavement, in
which their bodies hurled over and over
again, neither of the man relaxed the
deathlike grasp they had maintained
from the beginning Of the scuffle which
led to their fall and each held on to the
other with q deathlike grasp till their
bodies struck the pavement and lay mo-
tionless where they fell.
