Good. IF True.

Has a cure for cancer actually been
found? If so, fear Of one of the most
dreaded enemies of mankind will be
greatly diminished. Discussion has
been aroused in Europe by the appear
ance in a Berlin medical journal of
high order of an article testifying to
the merits of a recently tested remedy,
and in which this is said: Zone Of the
foremost authorities on cancer in the
world, Prof. Won Legion, has expressed
opinions which do not appear to err
on the side of optimism when the
work of Prof. Morton Of New York
and other students of ANGER is o
sidefed." The article goes on to speci.
fly what has been shown by various
experiments to prove the effectiveness
OF the remedy in destroying cancer
germs, and concludes with the declara-
ton that what has been learned is
Sufficient to excite hopes of the great
est results in the minds of all study
ing the problem of cancer" OF course
it would be unwise to be over-san-
guine, even in the face of testimony
such as this. But, remarks Troy Times,
the facts go to show what progress
the medical world is making in get
ting control of ailments once thought
beyond cure.

ASLEEP WHEN HE KILLED
STRANGE STORY OF AN ITALIAN
WHO SLEW MAN ON A TRAIN.
Dreamed He Was Being Robbed, and
Awoke to Find Himself
Shooting.

Goodland, Kan, June 24.-John
Bello, the Italian who killed a man
and wounded two women passengers
on a Rock Island train east of here,
told, through an interpreter, the story
of the shooting. Bello asserted that
he committed the murder in his
sleep as the result of a dream. His
story, dramatically told, with many
and almost fearful p~rotestations OF
honesty, follows:
my wife and children and Patsy
Leganbradt and his wife and children
lived in Genoa. We decided to come
to the new world and grow rich, as we
heard 1t was easy to do. We landed
in Boston from the White Star liner
Cymric a few days ago and took a
train for the west. We were on the
way to California.
1--WE were in a strange land among
people whose language we could not
understand. 1 had been v from
the time I left home. Last night
went to sleep in my seat and l had
a terrible dream. / dreamed that a
man with a white handkerchief over
his face had me by the throat and was
trying to rob me. l fought with all
my strength. Finally I managed to
throw my assailant off. The robber
turned to run. l had a revolver in
my pocket, and seized it and be-
gan to shoot.
"All of this was in my sleep. The
report Of the weapon awakened me,
and l found myself on my feet with
the pistol in my hand, shooting right
and left. God knows / did not mean
to kill anyone. 1t was all a terrible
dream"
Carl V. Topp, the tailor, who was
killed by the Italian, was asleep in his
seat with a white handkerchief over
his face.
Bello is in the county. Jail here.
He sits rocking to and fro with his
face in his hands muttering in Italian.

writing itself in such bold letters into
the history of civilization. There are,
however, other agencies at work in
this development, some of them surely

agencies, yet quite unknown to the

upon industrial ef1ciencies, has made
a place for itself in the modern ma

the machine shop is TO fit accurately

KIDNAPPED boy FOUND
slain IN A swamp
HEADLEss BODY OF WALTER
LAMANA, OF NEW ORLEANS,
is RECOVERED.
Suspect Tells of Crime-Says Italians
Who Stole Lad Became Frightened
and Strangled Him-Threats OF
Lynching Heard.

New Orleans, June 24.-Two miles
in the interior of a big swamp near
this city the headless body of Walter
Lamana, an Italian child between
seven and eight years old, who was
kidnapped and held for $4,000 ransom
two weeks ago., vas found by police
and vigilants just before daybreak
Sunday. He had been strangled to
death, according to the confession of
one of several Italians held by the
police.
The boys neck is supposed to have
been broken when he was strangled,
causing the head to become separated
from the body when decomposition
set in. The head was found a short
distance from the body.
Police Protect Prisoners.
Five Italians; two of them women,
are under arrest charged with being
accomplices to the murder, and extra
details of police and deputies are
maintaining order in the excited
Italian quarter of the city. b
Seldom since the Malta lynchings
16 years g has New Orleans been
so stirred with threats of violence and
some of these threats are made by
those who participated in the disor.
ders at that time. The law and order
element is much stronger than it has
leading citizens having pledged them
selves to prevent violence.
-. Italian Tells of the Crime.
The murdered boy was found near
st. Rose, about 20 miles from New
Orleans. A sweating process wrung
a confession from n of the Italian
suspects who was taken from his
home in st. Rose about midnight Sat.
urday night and carried into the
woods by a combined force of Of
fcials and vigilants who had the
| search in charge. This man, Ignazio
Campigciano, raj kept in the woods
an hour, when he confessed, charging
four Italians with the murder. He
said that about the time of a mass
meeting in New Orleans more than a
week ago, held for the purpose OF
prosecuting search for the body, these
men, who were in a vacant house in
st. Rose, became frightened and con
suited about what to do with the
child.
The boy was crying, begging to be
taken home to his parents, said Camp.
igciano, and n Of the quartette of
kidnapers grabbed the child and
strangled him to death to stop his
noise. Later two of the %kidnapers, he
said, came to him, carrying the body
in a blanket, and after threatening
him with death if he told, took the
body into a swamp.
Leads Police to Body.
Campigciano, after relating this
story, led the police through two
miles of swamp where the searchers
sometimes waded in water nearly
waist deep and at others crawled I'M
der tangles of briars. In the shallow
pool at the end of this search the
body was found in the blanket in a
clump of cane.
Returning to the city, the police ar
rested Nicolina Gebbia, an Italian
woman, who is alleged to have con
fessed that she knew of the kidnapping
plot from the first from one of the
four -kidnapers whom she expected to
marry. 4
