Man and Wife Eluht Duel.

After locking their two children in
a bedroom and fastening all the doors
OF their fat in Chicago, Antonio Spiz-
zirri and his wife, Anna, went into
the darkened parlor where they tried
to kill each other The woman was
shot twice and stabbed twice with
a stillettO. and died before the police
arrived. The husband was shot twice
also and he may die. A revolver and a
knife were found near the sofa on
which the woman lay dead, and an
other revolver WAS found beside the
husbands body. The disordered room
Indicated a terrible struggle.
Spizzirri turned on mis- side as the
police, called by neighbors, broke irto
the room with a sledgehammer, and
tore a letter which was on the floor
by his side into bits before the police
could stop him. This letter, when
translated from the Italian, may solve
the mystery. 1t is thought that Spiz-
zirri was jealous of his wife.

ward by fire. which broke out on board
the liner Saturday evening The flames
are supposed to have originated in
the saloon kitchen.
The fire brigade of the vessel. with
two powerful motor engines, turned
out Immediately at the first alarm and
found the first saloon burning fiercely
from end to end. Despite all their eff
forts the flames gradually worked for

At this time the heat was tremen-

from the vessel attracted thousands
of persons to the side of the river.
where they remained throughout the
night
1t was decided to flood the vessel
by admitting water into her from the
deck Soon she keeled over and her
tunnels came in contact with the
cranes on the dock and were badly
damaged.
A half dozen firemen, who were on
the gangway at this time, were thrown
into the water, but all were rescued.
A fleet of tugs then was brought into
requisitiOn, and pulled tho liner up
right and held her until she settled
firmly on the mud bottom.
It was hours later before the fire
was under control and the fire brigade
was able to relinquish its task. The
second class quarters and the whole
after part of the boat, including the
engine room, escaped injury from the
flames, and comparatively little dam
age was done to the exterior Of the
vessel.
Her upper part is considerably
above water The first saloon sky
lights were destroyed and the decks
forward are badly buckled. Some Of
the plates of the hull were warped by
the heat. The repairs to the Lucania
will occupy considerable time.
Divers who examined the Lucania
found that her machinery had not
been damaged and that her hull still
was sound. The fire will not interfere
with the sailings of the other Cunard
line vessels from Liverpool. The Lu-
cania had been held in dock here as
a reserve boat, and her next sailing
was scheduled for October.

MORE TROUBLE IN
BREATHITT COUNTY
Kentucky Mountaineer Who Was Shot
by His Brother, Makes a Sensa-
tionaI Statement.

LEXINGTON, Ky, October Ia.
c. Hurst, Republican nominee for
county judge of Breathitt county, who
was brought to a local hospital two
weeks ago suffering from a gunshot
wound, made a statement Sunday in
which he practically repudiated the
statement of his brother, Hannibal
Hurst, that the shot was fired acct
dentally.
Immediately after the shooting Han
nibal Hurst posted notices through
out Breathitt county that he had done
the shooting, and that it was an acct
dent. Today j. C. Hurst stated that
the shot was fired through window
while he was in the act of building
fire in the stove, and from the state
ment made by him it is not believed
that he is aware that his brother con-
fessed to. the shooting.
Friends who heard the statement
made by the dying man are of the
opinion that he knows that he was
shot by his brother, and that he re-
fused to say anything that would tend
to exonerate him, and from this state
ment it appears that first reports of
the shooting sent out of Jackson, to
the effect that the brothers quarreled
before the shooting, were correct.
Hannibal Hurst has not yet been ar
rested Tor the shooting, the officials
Of Breathitt county taking his word
REGARDING the affair, and It Is not
known what effect the statement Of
the wounded man will have on the sit
uation in his home county. From all
reports. however, it is believed that
a family feud will develop.
