tim here today.
Joe Ruggero, grocer, lay in q hos

lieved. Ruggero was shot in front of
his store late last night by an un-
known gunman, a charge of buckshot
entering his face and shoulders.

Vito Campanella, Sr., father of Vito
Campanella. who was killed in Rug
gero's store last September. was taken
into custody by police. but later re-
leased as police said he establ, he'd an
alibi. RuggeFo was under bond for
the killing of young Campane,ia.
Less than a year ago, Campal- elias
and Ruggeros fought battle on the
streets of Kansas City. Men in an
automobile opened fire on the lamp
anellas, who were walking on down
town street. The Campanellas re-
turned the fire, wounding a brother
in-law of Ruggero, who was shot here
last night.
Transferred to Dallas.
In 1910, Campanella, Sr., was a coal
dealer in Kansas City. according to
police. He received blackhand letter
demanding $1,000. but instead of pay
ing the money over, sold his personal
property and came to Dallas A few
nights later man who bought a team
of horses from Campanella was shot
and killed, local / Ii assert.
The venC sta was transferred to Dali
las few months later when Sam
Restivos, a relative of Ruggero, was
shot as the Restiyos-Ruggero clan met
Vito Cam. AMELIA on the street here.
Young Vito Campanelfa was under in
dictment for this shooting when killed.
Police today admitted it was com
plete mystery as to who shot Ruggero
last night, but believe there is little
doubt the tragedy resulted from the
feud. The gunman came here from
Kansas City or some other city, posi-
bly,, they said.

Genuine Spirit of Unity
ShOlUra In Anfi-I. B. War
Every Condition in Life Is Represented in Response
Plea for Funds in Christmas Seal Campaign-Many
Pathetic Letters Received by Sales Managers

The genuine spirit of unity in the
war against tuberculosis in Kansas is
indicated in the flood of letters re-
ceived by the Kansas State Tuberculo-
sis association in response to the plea
for funds following the distribution of
Christmas seals this month.
From every condition in 1ife-and
health--from the rich and the poor,
from the city and the farm, come
these letters.
Some of the most beautiful tributes
to the efforts of the anti-tuberculosis
workers have been received by the To-
peka association. Enclosures of dol
lar bills or coins brought with them
pitiful tales of hard times and high
taxes and little mouths to feed.
If the wealthy and the warm and
comfortable and well fed people of
Kansas could see some of these scrib-
bled missives they would open their
hearts to the cause. They would do
nate so literally that it would not be
necessary for the poor and needy to
flock to the cause.
HumOr Mixed With Pathos.
Along with the pathos appears at
times the humor of present market
conditions-if there is humor in such
distress-but it all is cemented into
the sentiment that backs and cheers
the workers for the cause.
Here are a few paragraphs from
letters:
I'VE thank you for the pleasure it
gives us to send a check"
your great work comes to my at
tention today"
IL hope every one will do all in his
power to help you"
II am a poor widow with small
children to support but L must spare
one dollar to this great cause
II have been sick myself but 1 send
you all 1 can to help Others,
Il have lost a wife with tuberculo-
sis. I have two daughters fighting for
their lives now. 1 hope my little will
help"
1--WE have our choice of dying of
consumption or high taxation. It's
hell either way"
