SAMMELLI HELD
Will Be Charged With Murder
 of Vito Suma.

The preliminary trial of Leonardo and Domenico Sammelll. or Samele, for the murder of Vito Suma on the night of December 26. and of Rocco and Vincenzo Lucia and Giovanni Galleicki with assault with intent to kill Suma, took place in the city court room to-day before Judge Peasley. Detective Colesanto testi- fled that he took the Stmmellis be- fore Suma and he identified them as the men who stabbed him and he said that Leonardo did most of the stabbing. Dr Crane said the man died of exhaustion caused by bleed- ing. The other witnesses were Don ato Suma and Angelo Lucia, in whose saloon the row began. The general drift of the testimony was that the TOW began over cards and every man in the crowd of about a dozen had either a knife or re- volver. Donate Suma saw Leonardo Sammelli stab Suma in the left arm and he also saw blood on Sammelli's fingers after he had done the stab ping.
 The witnesses did not see Domeni- co Sammelli do anything. Rocco Lucia had knife and Gallecki had knife, too, in fact everyone had a knife or weapon of some kind. Don ato Suma told Leonardo Sammelli that if he did not stop stabbing Vito Suma he would stab him, and there upon as Leonardo did not let up with his knife Donate jabbed him twice in the right leg.
 Vincenzo Lucia was busy with his knife, too, but whom he jabbed with it none of the witnesses could say There was SO much commotion it was difficult for the witnesses to see what was going on, but they were all certain that it was Leonardo who stabbed Suma under the arm. DomenicO Sammelli was dis charged, but Ieonardo was held for the superior court anG the others were found guilty of breach of the peace and fined $25 and costs and committed to jail for thirty days. They took an appeal and were re- leased on bail of $500.
 Deputy Coroner Makepeace filed his finding on the death of Suma to- day. Briefly, he finds that Suma was white man of 32 years of age and that he lived at 36 Johnson avenue. He was put out of Angelo Lucia's sa- loon, but he returned and insisted upon remaining. There was a row over cards and Suma was in the height of it. Donate Suma and An gelo Lucia tried to keep the peace by pushing the crowd back from Vito Suma. But Leonardo reached over Donate Suma's shoulder and planted his knife under Vito Suma s shoulder. He accordingly finds Leonardo Sammelli responsible for Suma's death.
 There was considerable interest manifested in the hearing, the court | room being crowded.

PULLMAN OPPOSES.
He Wants the Southern Prohibition
 Laws Changed.

Washington, D. C., Jan 11.-Sen- ator Tillman's attempt in the senate to help along prohibition by amend ments to existing laws that will per init goods shipped into prohibition territory to be seized upon entering that territory, recalls the campaign he made in South Carolina nearly two years ago to save the state dis pensary, his pet solution of the whiskey problem. Although he was not opposed for reelection to the senate, he entered the campaign there and did everything possible to have a governor and legislature nominated in the primaries who would sustain the state dispensary system of handling the liquor traffic. lie was opposed by a strong com bination of prohibitionists and advo- cates of the saloon system of whis- key control who. for the time being, were working together in perfect harmony.
 Senator Tillman's denunciations of prohibition during that campaign excited the prohibitionists more than the speeches of any other man. Tn nearly every county he denounced prohibition as a 'monstrous hum bug. It has bred in South Carolina the worst breed of hypocrites God ever let run over a state and try to ruin 1t"
 At the time of the campaign about one-third of the counties of the state were dry, having rejected county dis pensaries. Senator Tillman de- clared that in those counties drunk enness had increased at tremen- dous rate and that blind tigers" were in control of affairs. He as- serted that the express companies and railroads were getting rich haul ing whlskey into South Carolina | from other states, and that respect for the law was growing less each day.
 1t Is supposed that the growth of prohibition sentiment in the state has determined Senator Tillman to aid in attempting to make the exist ing laws stronger than ever.

Donato Suma Was Being Taken

Under the new law which enables the state to hold witness i'll jail and pay him $2 day while confined. Donate Suma, who appears to be the nrincipal witness in the murder case against Leonardo Sammells, or sameie, was arrested to-day. The officials were on the point of hiking off with him to New Haven jail along with Sammelh, when Angelo Lucia offered to give bail for him. Bail was fixed at s3oo and Suma was released. It was ln Lucia's saloon on Spring street the disturbance took place which has re- suited in the death of Suma.

Receive Street Sweeper a0d Roller.
The new street sweeper and three
ton roller ordered by the city ar.
rived the first of the week, and will
prove an appreciated improvement
to the street machinery.
In consideration of the most hor-
rible condition in which Chestnut
street has been since the laying of
the pavement, the sweeper will be
especially appreciated by the busi-
ness element of the city and those
residing in flats along the street,
the high winds which prevail in
this section making life a burden
in the dust ridden section of the
city.
Commissioner Christopherson
put the two machines together and
has them in working order, either
working satisfactorily.
It is the intention of the authori
ties to do the street sweeping dur.
ing the night, and in future we

At the present time all the county
offices are held by residents of Du-
luth with the exception of the Office
Of register of deeds, held by NJ: G.:
Palmer Of Virginia.. County Super
intendcnt of Schools S. W. Gilpin is
also resident of Virginia but the
law provides that the incumbent of
this office must reside outside of
Duluth. Thus the iron ranges,
which cast the majority Of the re-
publican vote of the county, have
but one representative III the ST.
Louis county court house..
1t is only matter of fair play
that the county outside of Duluth
should be better recognized. To sc.
cure that recognition it is simply
necessary that the iron ranges
stand together. The election of Mr.
Pfremmer over the Duluth candi.
date can he easily accomplished il
the ranges demand it. Mr.. Ptrem.
mer's election once secured through
the united efforts of the ranges, the
way is opened for the ranges to &C.
cure more equita bic treatment from
Duluth than it has enjoyed in the
past. With the ranges once united
Duluth will hasten to be good, and
many things which have in the
past been asked for in vain, will be
handed to us without an effort on
our part.
1t is only natural that Duluth
should take all that it can get but
once Duluth understands that the
ranges have united in the determi
nation to get their rights it will not
be slow to appreciate the necessity
of meeting us at least half way.
The newspapers of the ranges
have been unanimous in their
support of Mr.. Pfremmer and the
Enterprise believes that they reflect
the sentiment of their respective
clientele and that this movemen,
for united range in matters o.
common interest is bound to result
in a nota BILE harvest of benefits il
the near future.
