dressed to him. Last January Ami
con and his brother, who is a mem
Der of his firm, found a dynamite
bomb on their porch, with the follow
ing letter wrapped around it:
Mr.. John and Charlie:
I'VE wish $4,000, $4,000 from
each. Therefore search for friends to
bring this sum to Pittsburg at once,
if you value your life. This which
you found is a sample, but if you go
to the police you are lost There
fore consult with the other members
of the family before you act, for the
law cannot watch you the year
around Therefore do not confide in
any one, but think of your wives and
children. THE DIFFERENTIATION. >"
Subsequent to the receipt of the
bomb John Amicon received more let
tiers with demands and threats, which
were mailed at Pittsburg and Cincin-
natl. Instead of disposing of his
business ana fleeing the country, as
other victims of the Black Hand gang
are known TO have done, Amicon
promptly communicated with the Ital-
ian ambassador. The latter placed
the matter in the hands of the United

States postal inspectors, who promp
ly went to work on the case.
1t was learned by the inspector!
that similar threats had been made
| against wealthy Italian merchants IL
Dayton, Cincinnati, Indianapolis ant
| other cities. They learned also tina
after the receipt of each letter b!
Amicon Salvador Ventola of Colum
bus and Salvatore and Antonio Lima
of Marion would appear at Amicon'
place of business and remain in the
vicinity several days, possibly tt
learn if Amicon had selected the two
friends to take the $4,000 demand
ed to Pittsburg
AS result of this information, by
clever detective work the inspectors
ascertained that Lima, with his
friends, had organized a society
known as the Society of the Ba-
mana" with branches in Pittsburg,
Cincinnati, and Marion, and with af-
filiations among notorious Italians in
Chicago, Buffalo and other cities.
Early last June a general confer
ence of the postal inspectors was
held, and skilled men went to Column
bus, Marion, Bellfontaine, Cleveland
and Dennison, ana with search war
rants swooped down upon the unsus-
pecting conspirators. taking posses
sion of all books and papers found on
their premises, together with a great
mass of correspondence It was
found that the Black Hands suspected
one of their members, for a letter
was found addressed to him inform
ing him that it was his time to die
for informing the police. and he
would shortly feel a bullet in his
stomach. Not only was vast amount
of discriminating evidence found, but
also large quantities of the very pa
per that had been used in sending
the threatening letters.
A startling fact in connection with
the case is the statement made that
two of the members of the band. who
are among those under arrest, were in
Palermo, Sicily, when Lieutenant Pc
trosino of the New York police force
was murdered. They returned i'm
afterward. 1t is claimed
they know who killed him. and have
been sending ever money for the de-
Tense of the assassins. A letter is
to have been found on one of
the suspects referring in graphic
manner to street scene in Sicily

won the championship cups at the
New York show.
Each particular breed of live stock
at these expositions has its judge or
jury of from two to four experts. and
the prize list was made larger than
ever before exhibitors having an op-
portunity of sharing In an award of
$4,000 in cash premiums. besides nu

More entries have come from the agri-

souri,. Minnesota. Ohio. Wyoming and
Kentucky. The latter two colleges new
er before sent representatives. Their
entries include the pick Of their herds
of cattle. f1ocks of sheep and pens of
swine. Canadian breeders have taken
more interest in this exhibit than ever
before. and that country's best has
been entered.
A sight in itself is the great build

the largest structure in the world de-
voted to such uses. In the great am

Cardenas was overthrown from the

Gently he was reported as having
taken the field against his old enemy,
heading an expedition that was pre-

Nicaragua. 1t also was asserted that
the former president had bound him

DR.. Madriz was met at Chinandega
and Leon by almost as great crowds
as had gathered at Corinto, and they
shouted, Long live the savior of Mica

markabIe absence of hostile cries to
Zelaya. The people of Leon were wild
in their demonstration of friendliness.
Flowers were showered upon Madriz as
though he were a hero returning from
the war. Cannons were fired and sky
rockets shot into the air, despite the
daylight. Conspicuous in the breeze
were two American flags.

RESULT OF GUNSHOT
Ten-Year-Old Son of Laguna Rancher
Drives His Father over a
Long Road to the
Hospital

Driving old "Dobbin." the family
horse. as he has not been driven in
recent years. Jack Blumberg, 10 years
old, reined up at police headquarters
last night bringing his father, Chris
Blumberg, a dairyman of Laguna
ranch, near Hobart station, who had
accidently shot himself through the
right foot while hunting in the woods
a mile from his ranch.
Blumberg was weak and nearly un-
conscious from loss of blood ON the
long drive and his painful journey
from the spot where he shot himself
to his house Blumberg was alone at
the time of the accident and was un-
able to tell just how it happened. He
stated that he was resting with the
barrel of his shotgun on his right foot
and believed that his coat sleeve
caught the trigger, discharging the
gun. Unaided, he limped painfully to
his home, and his son hitched the
horse and started for the nearest drug
store. but was unable to obtain medi-
cal aid and started for the long trip
to the receiving hospital
The toes of Blumbergs right FOOT
had been shattered by the shot, neces-
stating the amputation of the great
toe, but the police surgeons believe
that the other toes can be saved.

STRAY BULLET HITS
DOWNEY RESIDENT
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
AT EAGLE ROCK
Pellet from Small Caliber Rifle Bare
ly Misses JuguIar Vein and
Results in But Slight
Injury

NJ. A. Pilkey, a butcher of Downey,
while seated on a ledge near the top of
Eagle rock yesterday afternoon with
his friend, Miss Frances Gilbert of
Alhambra, was shot in the right side
of the neck by 22-caliber bullet,
which barely missed the jugular vein.
Neither Pillley nor Miss Gilbert knows
who fired the shot, but believe that 1t
was a stray bullet fired by hunters in
the vicinity.
They saw a number of boys with
rifles in the canyon below where they
were seated, and it is thought the Incl
dent was accidental. They did not
hear the sound of a gun, the first reali-
zation of being shot coming to Pilkey
when he felt a singing sensation in
his neck. Instantly a stream of blood
gushed forth.
Accompanied by Miss Gilbert, Pilkey
went to the receiving hospital, where
the bullet was extracted by DR.. Wiley.
1t is not believed that Pilkey will suffer
any serious consequences. The bullet
went through Pilkey's collar and was
detected enough to miss the jugular
vein, preventing probable death.
