Leaves for Italy
Between Days

Dominic Cacciola, erstwhile Wads-
worth Italian, who, according to the
Wadsworth Banner-Press, left that
town last week between days, accom-
panied by suit of clothes and watch,
the property of another, paid last Wis
! it to Medina shortly before his final
departure, stating that he was about
to leave this country for his native
italy. =
Cacciola lay in the county Jail sew
eral months once on a charge of ex-
tortion, of which he was later acquit-
ted, and at another time when held
as witness against John Butto, who
made a vicious attack on Cacciola's
life, and for which he is now serving
an indeterminate sentence in the Mans
field reformatory.
1t was during the second period of
his incarceration that he was operated
upon at the Jail by DR.. w. A. Stanley
for the removal of a bullet shot by
Butto, the effects of which had crippled
Cacciola to considerable extent.
Recently he claimed to have received
an official call to arms from his native
government, and he requested DR..
Stanley to provide him with detail
ed statement Of his physical condition
with reference to his injuries and a
written opinion as to whether or not
he was in proper fettle to join the
army. Dominic stated that unless he
was thus fortified he would be arrested
upon his arrival in Italy. DR.. Stanley
did as requested.
Cacciola was unquestionably the
brightest one Of his countrymen in
Wadsworth, and it was repeatedly tes-
titled that he was the recognized lead
er Of regularly organized gang Of
blackhanders. He is goodlooking, has |
a fairly good command Of English, but
was directly or indirectly connected
with all troubles in Wadsworth's for
eign settlement ever since he came to |
the town.
Wadsworth, no less than the remain
ing Italians there, doubtless will heave
. sigh Of relief that Dominic has be-
taken himself to other fields, even the
field of battle.

Latest reports concerning the new

whether Wadsworth gives the assis-

at all other points along the proposed
