OF receiving stolen goods; to which
he pleaded guilty in the district court.
Daidone is in some respects the
most notable criminal Of the kind
ever produced in Fremont county and
in respect to his misdoinEs seems to
have followed the example Of his
father. who is serving q long term in
the penitentiary for the same Of
Tense. Young Daidone was born in
Italy, but came to this country with
his parents when child and was
brought to this county, where the faith
er was for q time employed as q
coal miner. The boy also worked
at the same occupation rs soon as he
became large enough and five years
ago had his left hand cut on in the
pumping machinery at the Bear
Gulch mine.

WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT SINKING OF A SUB

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 80. The
destruction. a few days ago of a British
submarine of the cruiser class, was
due largely to the fact that on 4 cap

were found certain secret instructions
concerning the operations of the Allied
submarine fleet in the Sea of Marmora.
These documents. besides naming the
Marmora coast. points where supplies
could be obtained by the Allied submar-
ines, also threw a light on the move
ments of these vessels. In pursuance
Of the information thus obtained. the

the British undersea Cruiser and
sent a torpedo into her side. Twenty
four men were drowned. while the crafts
