n this city. The chief traced his
nan to the hotel.
Mr.. Richardson was in his room at

FATHER STAYS DAUGHTER.
New York School Teacher Murdered
on the Street.

New York, March 24.-Within
sight of several of her fellow school
teachers and pupils on the way to
school through a crowded street
.oday Miss Anna Mangano, a teacher
in the public school on East One
Hundred and Second street, was shot
and killed by her father, Philip
uangano, an interpreter in a minor
court, who had been following his
laughter and calling to her to stop.
AS she kept hurrying on, he drew
his revolver and fired two shots. He
then turned the revolver on himself,
but was prevented from carrying out
lis purpose by Adolph Schwartz, who
;rappled with Mangano. Two more
,hots were fired while the men strug-
,led, but both went wild. Mangano
broke away from Schwartz, but was
arrested by tow policemen.
Several of the teachers ran to the
place where the girl fell. She was
lead when they found her, with a
wound in the back of her head.
Frank Lacatira, a brother-in-law of
he dead teacher, identified the pris-
,ner. Lacatira told the police that
his sister-in-law was compelled to
cave her fathers house last Janu.
Try because of his cruel and inhuman
reatment of her, and had lived at
working girls home since. He
aid Mangano probably shot his
laughter because she had left home.

ample of swift legal vengeance al
most without parallel.
Freddy was stolen on June IL,
1901, by John ]. Kean, who started
to run away with him, then changed
his mind and decided Ito bury the
boy alive. All evening the two
wandered about the city, going to
theatres. In the morning Kean made
the child dig it's own grave.
While the boy vas still toiling
police burst in and took Kean to Jail.
A%rraigned within a week, it took
the prosecution only two hours to
bring in all the testimony and argyll
ments they needed. Five minutes
later the jury had called him guilty
and judge had sentenced him to 20
years solitary confinement in the
pen~itentiary.
The nurse girl case" in New
York in 1899 was a tremendous SEN
sation. A nurse maid named Bella
Anderson had taken her charge, 49,
months-old Marion Clarke, out for
a trip through Central park. They
did not come back.
Instead a note was found pinned
on the doorstep the next morning.
eff you don't leave the money here.
or if you Tell the police" 1t read,
well pin the baby's ears here"
Despite the threat, the parents
appealed to the police, who found the
baby alive and Growing a few days
later in Summit, N. J. They ar
rested the nurse, also Mark Barrows
and his wife. The nurse, who was
only an accomplice, got four years,
while Barrows drew IA and went
insane. His wife got IL and is still
in prison.
The most famous black hand case
was that of Tony M~annino, Of Brook
Ign. Just $4,000 was demanded for
| Tony's release. The parents refused
to appeal to the police, and would
never tell whether any Of the mon
| ey was paid over or not, but the
| baby was restored.
The note demanding the money
was unusual. 1--WE are not crimi-
| nails" it read. I'VE are nice gentle
men, like you. Only we have not
made money like We expected, so we
take this way of getting money II
| get back to beautiful Italy"
To find little Erica Egbert, who
was snatched from her mothers arms
on the streets of Chicago, a 10000
mile trip was made. The mother,
who was editor of the Bachelor
Books, was shopping at the time
when a man grabbed the baby anu
disappeared in the crowd. A hue
and cry was set up, but the bah:
could not be found.
Leaving her work, Mrs. Egber'
set set out in search Of her child,
following mysterious clews. until she
finally recovered it at Madras, India
In addition to the successful alb
auctions, many other efforts have
been made at different times. Many
threats were made about Grover
Cleveland's family, and the Gould:
have kept guards over their children
for years. ..

MANY LIVES LOST
AND MANY THOUSAND DOLLARS
DAMAGE DONE
By Destructive Storm That Swept
Through Northwestern Part of
Wise County, Texas.

Wise County, Texas.
Dallas, Texas, March 24.-Twelve
known dead, property loss reaching
into the thousands of dollars anG
possibly a score injured are the
results of a tornado which swept
over the northwestern part of Wise
county late last night. Several
small towns were visited by the storm
but lone were entirely destroyed, al
though each suffered serious damage.
The general course of the tornado
| seems to have been from the west
to southwest. Starting at Grafton
in the northeastern part of the coun-
ty it passed to the north of Decatur,
the county seat, and struck several
small settlements of which st. Idell
is the centre. From here the tor
nado appears to have turned south
east, continuing it's course without
doing further serious damage.
The greatest loss Of life occurred
in the country. The destruction Of
M farm house alone caused the
death of eight persons. This single
tragedy of the storm occurred near
St. Idell. The farm house of Ira
Rice was crushed in by the furious
wind and the family of eight men,
bers pinned beneath the wreckage.
The light in the house at the time
Of the disaster caused the ruins to
become ignited and famed by the
strong wind the flames destroyed the
lives of the helpless victims.
The towns of Sanger and Green
wood were hit and a number of hous-
es were moved from their founda-
tons. The Good View school house
near Sanger was wrecked. In this
vicinity Ben Wilson and Glasgow
Clark, farmers, and two children of
a negro tenant were killed. Mrs. C.
M. Bentley is seriously hurt with a
broken leg and several negroes are
less seriously injured.
At Grafton every business house
save one was blown down. The
Methodist and Baptist churches were
completely wrecked.
Several residences and two church
es were blown down at Brumlow.
This town is located near St. Idell,
which appears to be the storm GEN.
tire.
Heavy sand storms occurred yes
terday at Dublin, Gainesville and
other points in that vicinity. Fenc-
es, small buildings and wind mills
were raised by the storm in the out
lying districts.

two children were found in the
