Yates Sempreboni and pellegrini.
Joseph Comolli Of Foster street, until
recently a member of the school com
mission, and at present an employe Of
Barclay Bros, received telegram last
evening stating that Private Bineedi
had passed away at Camp Devens Mr..
Comolli, having no recollection of an ac-
quaintance named Clarence Bineedi, com
municated the information to Joseph
Comoli of Boynton street, thinking that
the telegram may have been missent.
The latter knows of no one named BIZ
needi and both men of the name to
whom the telegram was addressed are
under the impression that the message
was msdirected. No one in the Italian
colony seems to know Clarence Bineedi,
and for several years past the city direc
tory has not contained that name, The
Western Union operator, who received
the message is continuing his efforts to
locate friends or relatives of the man,
