All Same, Only Different.
The shooting affairs in which 'Big
Sam" and Chiappetti are defendants,
are all part of a series of four inter
related affairs which took place in the
Iaquinta- Chiappetti .feud on the west
side, beginning September 7, 1921, and
ending (for the time being) with the
last one on December 7, 1922. Frank
laquinta was the target in at least two

cousin of the frst) was killed out

two opened fire first.
big Sam" is charged with attempt
at murder in the shooting affair of No.
vember %, 1922, when five men stood
on opposite corners at the intersection
of Pearl and Rowland avenue and ex-
changed gun courtesies. Those on one
corner were Tom and Frank Iaquinta,
on another Frank Chiappetti, and on
another rBig Sam" and an unknown.
Frank Iaauinta is defendant in con-
nectioE with this case, charged with
attempting to murder Frank Chiappetti
on that Occasion.
Those who have looked on from the
gallery at the desperate struggle which
has arisen through the deep-seated en-
nifty of the two original feudists,
Frank Iaquinta and Frank Iaquinta.
are convinced that the struggle is not
yet at an end and that still more blood
will be spilled unless in some way the
two combatants can be brought to an
understanding.
In Shooting ARRAY Before.
This is not the first time that Sam
Mangvallano has been in shooting af-
trays. One evening, about three years
ago, in Racine, where at the time he
and his brother Baptiste had fruit
store, four men entered the store and
were carried out dead. Sam Mangval-
lano and his brother were both charged
with murder, and at the trial were rep
resented by Attorney r. v. Baker, who
is also Big Sans" attorney in the
present difficulty. The defense was
able to show that the four men had
entered the store and started shooting
at Sam and Baptiste, and the latter
returned the shots in self-aefense. The
two brothers were wounded in the af4
fray but the four others were killed.
As Sam and Baptiste were in their own
place at the time and the others had
sought them out, there seemed reason
to support their self-defense conten-
ton.

Madison, Wis. Both the sem

mittee appointments made in the
lower house by Speaker Dahl and
in the senate by the committee on
committees, but only after a

dissatisfaction with which some
members received their assign

Senator George F. Staudenmay-

a place on the joint finance COM

would refuse to serve on the COM

and would only consider serving as

would not consider himself bound

charging that they had violated an

JOSEPH ". MAYER
WINS HIGH HONOR
Is Appointed Secretary of
Agriculture for State
of Nebraska.
is NAMED BY BRYAN
Former KenOshan Is Named
to Important State
Cabinet Position.

Joseph W. Mayer, formerly of Keno
sha and widely known to many of the
older residents of this city, has been
named by Governor Bryan Of Nebras-
ka, as secretary of agriculture of the
state of Nebraska and he became
member of the governors cabinet with
the reorganization of the great middle
western state last week.
The announcement of the high honor
conferred upon Mr.. Mayer has come
as most interesting news to his old
friends in Kenosha as he is one Of the
members of one Of the Oldest of the
old pioneer families in Kenosha.
Mr.. Mayor won his spurs in Nebras-
ka when he served as the mayor of the
city of Beatrice He was the first
mayor elected under the commission
form Of government in Beatrice and
his conduct of the Office won for him
notice all over the country.
Born in KenOsha.
Nebraskas new secretary Of agri-
culture was born over on the north side
in Kenosha something like sixty years
ago. He was educated in the old St.
George school and when he was big
enough to work he went down to the
Balm Wagon company's plant and went
to work under his father, the late John
Mayer, who was one of the earliest
employees of the Balm plant. He work
ed at the Balm plant for a number of
years and when he decided that he
had learned the trade he went to
Beatrice, Nebraska, where he opened a
wagon and blacksmith shop. He had
learned to do some things unusually
well and his shop out in Beatrice be-
came famous in the state.
Walt Mason Advertised Him.
Walt Mason, the famous Kansas
rhymer whose "Rippling Rhymes" have
won for him a high place in the lit
erary history of the country, became
a friend Of "Joe" Mayer a lot of years
ago and made of him one of his clos
est companions. Many of the best
known poems of the Kansas poet were
written around the blacksmith shop Of
Mayer. As Mason became famous so
did the wagon and buggy shop out in
Beatrice and so did Mayer.
The former Kenosha man continued
tos operate the blacksmith shop until
few years ago when he retired from
active business and began his career
as a politician. He was an ardent
supporter of William jennings Bryan
and the Democratic party.
Secretary Mayer is brother of Fred
Mayer and Nicholas Mayer of Kenosha
and of the late John J. Mayer, who was
for many years prominently connected
with the Balm Wagon company.
