ITALIAN IS
CHARGED With
THE MURDER

A formal charge of murder was
placed this morning against Joseph
Bacili, who has been held at the
city Jail since last Saturday on sus-
picion of being the slayer of Tony
Ricolli, the Italian who was myster.
iously shot and killed near the cor
ner of Fourteenth and Wall last
Friday morning.
This action was taken only after
the police and the prosecuting at
torney had become thoroughly con-
WINGED that the evidence against
Bacili was strong enough to insure
O. conviction of murder in the first
degree.
The accused had been seen in
company with the murdered man
the evening before the crime, and
according to the police his move
ments have been traced from that
time, and it has been shown that he
was in the vicinity of the scene OF
the murder within a few moments
of the time it happened.
One of the most convincing bits
of evidence against Bacili is the fact
that tracks of. the murderer, lead
ing away from the scene of the
crime, show him to have been wear
ing hobnail shoes, in which the
nails had been set in peculiar de-
sign, and Bacili has admitted the
ownership of pair of shoes which
match these tracks in every detail.

CRAzEO BY Drink,
MAN ATTACKS
WOMAN

A man giving the name Of
George A. Macdonald was over
powered by two men near the Hol-
1and-Horr mill on Monroe street
this morning about 1 o'clock, after
he had almost torn the clothes
from the body of woman compan-
ion. Macdonald, who is known to
be a wealthy mining promoter Of
this city, had accompanied the
woman to the Silver Grill, and, be-
coming crazed with drink, attacked
her on the way home. The woman
after the attack obtained a change
of clothing and appeared in a taxi
cab at the police station to plead
for the man, but her tears availed
her nothing. The police know that
the name Macdonald is false.

after the old man and she was
more than willing to perform her
task.
But the little body was vibrant
with life, and it was hard work to
sit there on the camp stool SO
steadily. Finally she could stand it
no longer and slipping from the
stool she strayed over to a bril-
liantly lighted display window and
gazed eagerly at the beautiful
things displayed there.
The organ stopped it's wailing and
the old mans hand went cropping
toward the empty camp stool. Look
ing around quickly when the organ
stopped the tiny maid saw the
cropping hand and sped back to cud-
die up once more beside the old
man. Then the organ took up its
work again.
The hour grew late, and the small
grille grew tired and sleepy. The
old man was tired and sleepy also,
but 1t had been bad day and soon
the gay theater crowds would be
vending their way homeward. Per-
haps business" would be better
then.
A chill breeze sprang up, and the
diminutiye maid curled her tiny
legs up beneath her to protect them
from the night blast. Then the
pretty head began to nod. Bravely
she fought against going to sleep,
but the "sand man" was too strong
for her. and she dropped her head
over against the old mans shoulder
and slept.
The organ kept up its weary
grind.
Soon slumber, too, assailed the
old man. Slower and still more
slowly the organ handle turned. At
last It stopped entirely. The old
mans head dropped forward upon
his breast.
The little maid stirred in her
sleep, and the old man awoke with
. start. The organ took up its
monotonous wall But again 1t
stopped. The old man settled his
head against the telephone pole.
And so they slept. The child with
her head pillowed on the old man s
shoulders, the old man staring
straight ahead with wide open
a,ehtless eyss.

While giv- ing her testimony she refused the chair offered by the committee and remained standing at the head of the witness table. In making her plea for pure milk Mrs Howe said:
 There are several parties to the milk situation, and 1 think the prin- cipal party is the child in the cradle. There is no substitute for milk in rearing children. It is a matter of life and death and should not take long to settle.

CORN PLANTING IS
 OVER
HAT CANADIAN TRIP SHOULD
 NOW BE TAKEN.

If you had intended going to Can ada for the purpose of purchasing land on which to establish home and accompanying some land company, whose holdings you proposed to look over or to go up on your own account 10 select one hundred and sixty acres CT land free. you should delay no longer. Complaining is over. your wheat crop is well ahead, and yul have few weeks time before you are required in the fields again. Now make your intended trip Reports tt hand show that the crop prospects Tn Canada were never better than they are today. The cool weather has not affected the crop, but if anything. It has been benefit. There has been plenty of moisture and those who have had their land properly prepared look upon ths year as likely to be one of the best they have had. A great many are going up this season who expect to pay two or three dollars an acre more than they were asked to pay last year. Others who wish to ACAhNoNVdd dhC tO SO IdIIUeT from the line of railway than would have been necessary last year Still 1t Is worth it. So 1t will be with you. Next year lands will be higher-priced and homesteads less accessible There Is wonderful tide of immigration to Central Canada now. It is expected that one hundred and fifty thousand ha will be numbered by the end of the present year, an increase of fifty per cent over last year. In addition to this there will be upwards of one hundred thousand from the old coun- try, which does not include those who may come from the northern countries of the Continent. These all intend to settle upon the land The reader does not require an answer to the questions. "Why do they do it?" Why are they going there in such large numbers?" Western Canada is no longer an experiment. The fact that one hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat were raised there last year as against ninety-fve mil lions the year previous, shows that the tiller of the soil in Central Canada Is making money and 1t is safe to say that he Is making more money than can be made anywhere else on the Continent in the growing of grains. He gets good prices, he has a sure and heavy crop, he enjoys splendid rail- way privileges, and he has also the advantages of schools and churches and such other social life as may be found anywhere. It is difficult to say preferred to others because there are friends already established. The Grand Trunk Pacific, on it's way across the Continent, is opening up splendid tract of land, which is being taken up rapidly. The other railways the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern are extending branch lines into parts inaccessible a couple of years ago. With a perfect network of railways covering a large area of the agricultural lands it is not diff cult to secure a location. Any agent of the Canadian Government will be pleased to render you assistance by advice and suggestion, and good plan is to write or call upon him. The Government has located these agents at convenient points through out the States, and their offices are well equipped with full supply of maps and literature.
