TWO BROTHERS DYING.
Quarreled in a Saloon Over Woman
They Both Loved.

New York, March 20.-Tgo brothers,
who loved the same woman, fought
with knives and clubs in an East Side
saloon yesterday until both were 50
desperately injured that they probably
will die. The men are George and
Giovanni Francesca, who came from
Palermo, Italy about two years ago.
There they had been rivals for the hand
OF the same girl, a handsome. young
Sicilian, who for some time could not
make up her mind which to choose of
the two brothers. Eventually she ac-
eepted George, the elder and they were
married shortly before the trio came to
New York.
Not long after their arrival George
began to neglect his wife, and at
length she left him and went to live with
friends in Brooklyn. When the brothers
met In the East Side saloon early yes
terday Giovanni upbraided George for
his treatment Of the young wife, taunt-
ed him in front of number of other
Italians, and admitted that he-the
younger brotheI.--still loved the woman.
Instantly the place was in an uproar,
the brothers closed struggling all over
the floor, and eventually out into the
hallway, where they were found i'm
conscious by policeman. Georges
head had been crushed by blow and
the younger man had deep knife
wound in the abdomen. At the hos
pital where they were taken their con-
dition is regarded as critical.
