Deadly Work of the stiIetto.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-A dog fight led to
bloody race riot between Americans
and Italians at Carryville, coal min
ing camp in northern Wyoming, dur
ing which a number of the former
were so badly wounded and stilettos
that two may die. All of the Italians
escaped uninjured, but four of them
arc under arrest.
The wounded:
John Hughey, will die.
Charles Fuller, will die.
Daniel Reynolds.
Hughey was slashed across the alb
domen. A stiletto was buried deep in
the back of Fuller's neck, striking the
SPINAL column and causing paralysis.
REYNOLDS was stabbed twice in the
neck.
The men under arrest are Domino
Carbona, Mike Bumback, Joe Gariessa
ana Tony Palpia.
General attention to the riot has
been called by the action of the Ital-
ian consul at Denver, who sent mes
sage to Governor Brooks of Wyoming,
asking him to intercede in behalf of
the Italians. Governor Brooks states
that the foreigners do not need assist
ance, as they came out victorious. The
Italian consul had been informed that
his countrymen had been getting the

Oh a hand car for the scene. Upon

lieved that the death was caused by
scme accident or violence and sum
