Young Woman Disappeared on Monday

Committed Suicide When Crossed
in Love.-Brother Objected

r. Little Italy" in Kenosha had an
lexciting Christmas on account of the
disappearance of Felicia Capable, a
comedy Italian girl seventeen years
! of age, and the mystery is still un-
solved. The young woman left her
home at 912 Park street about 10
| O'Clock Monday morning, and not
withstanding the fact that her rela-
| tives and friends have been searching
| for her ever since, no trace has been
| found.
Nearly all day Christmas, Captain
| Cameron and the members of the life
saving crew dragged in the lake off
! the Park street breakwater in an
effort to find the body Of the young
woman, but they found nothing to
Justify their labors and they we're
finally forced to give up the work on
account of the ice that was packing
| along the beach.
| In the meantime Dominick Tomba,
said to be the sweetheart of the young
woman has been locked up in the
county jail. There is no charge
against the man at this time, but
some of the friends of the girl had
been very threatening towards him,
and Chief O'Hare decided that it
would be better to lock him up pend
ing the solution of the mystery.
Tomba declares that he has no
knowledge of the missing girl, and
that he has not seen her since last
Saturday evening.
| The report of the disappearance of
the girl was made to the police by
Emanuel Capable a brother. He
/ stated that he had gone to work on
| Monday morning leaving his sister at
home, and that when he returned at
noon he found the doors of the honse
open and his sister missing. Before
he started to work Cappallo had given
his sister nine dollars with which to
/ purchase winter cloak as a Christ
! mas present. The girl had left the
i money lying on the bureau in hel
i room, but left no word to say whittier
she had gone or when she had plan
med to return. The girl was dressed
i IN light dress and a black hat anC
this fact caused the officers to think
that she had committed suicide BY
Humping into the lake.
/ Just before noon Monday morning
the officers were notified that wo-
man answering the description of the
missing EItalian girl had been seen
sitting on the breakwater at the foot
LOT Park street. The woman suddenly
4 disappeared, and as no trace of her
could be found afterward it is thought
that she dumped into the cold waters
Of the lake. When it was reported to
the police THAT the Italian girl was
missing the life savers were at once
asked to drag in the lake.
4 The young woman was of roman
tic disposition, and it is said that she
was greatly in love with Tomba Her
brother had objected to the suit of
/ Tomba, and had several times re-
1 quested his sister not to go with the
| fellow. She is said to have told one
of her women friends on Monday that
lit she could not have her fellow she
i wanted to kill herself
/ The police seem to think it possible
/ that the young woman has quietly
| slipped out of the city, and that she
is waiting for her lover to join her.
Tomba declares that he knows moth
ing about the girl, out it is expected
| that he will be notified where she is
and make an effort to join her.
4 In the meantime the lake clue has
not been given up, and the life savers
twill make another effort TO drag for
1.-The body as soon as the ice drifts away
from the beach.
