IDAHO TOWNS IN PATH
OF BIG FOREST FIRES
Mace and Burke Are Said to Have
Been Wiped Out-Thousands
Are Homeless.

Spokane, Wash.-The mining towns
Of Mace and Burke, east Of Kellogg
Idaho, are reported destroyed by for
est fires sweeping up the western
slope OF the Bitter Root Mountains
Wire communication with the fire
swept district is down. Fear is fell
for the lives OF tourists on the Yellow
stone trail highway which is under
stood from meager reports to be in
the path OF the flames.
A thousand persons are reported
homeless in the two towns. Mace is
destroyed. The business section OF
Burke is in flames and little hope is
held OF saving what remains Of the
town. Loss was estimated at between
$500, 900 and $400, 900 and the progress
Of the fire is said to be unchecked. At
tempts to block the fire by dynamit
ing homes, business houses and mine
structures proved futile because OF
high wind.

all had been rushed to safety.
Two hundred school children took
refuge in the Catholic church at Mace
when the wind swept the flames

failed to stop the fast spread of the
fire the children were forced to flee
the church, as 1t started to burn

Two theories were advanced as to
the cause OF the fire, n is that a
spark from a passing locomotive fired
a building near the tracks and the
other attributes it to an overheated
chimney.

W WOMEN FACE
DEATH FOR MURDER
Pair Are Convicted by Chicago and
New York Juries-Man Also
Found Guilty.

Chicago.-Two women face death as
one in New York and the other in
Chicago. They are Mrs. Anna Buzzi,
Of New York, and Mrs. ISABELLE Nitti
Crudelle, Of Chicago. Mrs. Buzzi was
sentenced TO die in the electric chair
for murder of Frederick Schneider,
with whom she lived for eight years,
while Mrs. Crudelle was found guilty
of numbering her former husband,
Petit Nitti and the jury recommended
the extreme penalty.
This same jury returned a similar
verdict against Peter Crudelle, whom
Mrs. Crudelie married after Nitti dis
appeared.
In the case OF Mrs. Buzzi, SCHNEIDER
was found dead in his automobile on
February &c. The pistol with which
he had been killed was at his side.
This weapon was traced TO William
Ture, Mrs. Schnieder's brother-in-law,
who told the authorities he had given
it to Mrs. Buzzi, and that she after
wards told him she had killed
Schneider with it. Jealousy was given
as the motive by Ture, as he testified
that Mrs. Buzzi had said SCHNEIDER
had threatened to leave her.
The jury returned its verdict
against Mrs. Crudelle after less than
two hours elaboration. The women
and her husband, were convicted
largely through the testimony OF
Charles Nitti, 16 year old son of the
woman.
Attorneys made a motion for a new
trial which was set for hearing Sat-
urday.
Frank Nitti. a truck farmer, disap-
peared July %, 1922. Shortly there
after Crudelle, a boarder at the Nitti
home, and Mrs. Nitti were married.
Charles Nitti, the son, told the author
tiles that Crudelle had killed his
father with a hammer as Nitti lay
asleep and that Mrs. Nitti had held
her husbands hands while Crudelle
struck the blow. The boy said Cru
dele had forced him to help dispose
Of the body which he said had been
thrown in the river. An indictment
was voted but was dismissed when no
trace of the body was found. On May
8, however, Nitti's body was found
concealed in a catch basin.
Crudelle, his wife and Charles Nittl
were then indicted for murder, but the
case against the boy was nolle
pressed.
The boys evidence and that Of
James Nitti, his brother, was relied
upon largely by the state. Crudelle is
% years old and his wife in her
marriage license said she was 80, but
her sons declared she was 46.

not be learned. 1t occurred in a fire
proof structure in which about 30 en-

manufactured for the army during the

London Prays for Breeze.

London.-A heat wave of almost
unprecedented intensity, accompanied
by thunder showers of equally rare
severity reduced this metropolis to a
condition of paralysis. Day by day
the temperature has approached 80
degrees fahrenheit in the shade. Even
in New York such raging heat for so
prolonged a period would be excep-
tional, but London is entirely without
the amelioration of such tropical con.
&tions which are common in the
United States.

THREE KILLED, 20 HURT IN PO
LlTICAL FEUD IN LOWER
CALIFORNIA.

Mexicali, Lower .Cal.-Mayor Juan
Loera, Of Mexicali, and IA ~adherents,
all heavily armed, were b~arricaded in
the city hall, where in what was des-
cribed as a political quarrel, three
were killed and twenty wounded, in
GLIDING the a and two council
men, according to surveys made by
the police.
The b~arricaded men were reported
to have declared they never would
surrender. Among them were three
wounded, including alternate council
man Quirino Luna, who was expected
to die.
Troops Of Gov. Jose Lugo, Of the
northern district OF Lower California,
which surrounded the city hall after
the shooting, were replaced by NUM-
cipal police in the hope the change
would induce the mayors party to
surrender.

caded group sent out.

The siege was peculiar. No often
sive move was made by either side.
For a time, citizens were permitted to
pass in and out. But at noon, a tight
Gordon was drawn around the build
ing and none allowed to enter except
physicians and bearers OF ice water.
Nc food was permitted to go to the
besieged.
Meantime, congressman Richardo
Covarrubias, alleged leader OF the fac
ton, lies wounded in a hospital. AL
though nominally charged with sedi-

lowers, the alternate councilmen, he
cannot be arrested while a member

Of an effort by Mayor Loera and the
alternate councilmen to resist q de-
cree OF the regular council issued
several weeks ago, declaring the may
or's office vacant. The mayor con-
vened the alternate councilmen; then
Congressman Covarrubias and a heav-
lily armed following arrived. Just what
started the shooting was not clear, but
1T was believed to have followed at
tempts by Gov. Lugo's forces to com
pei the Loera fagtion to comply with
the action of the regular council.
The city hall was badly damaged.

THE WORKING MAN.
(Commun:cated.) }

One of our readers, evidently in
spired by the little article entitled,
"The Working Man." which appeared
in last weeks Leader, submits the
following as his idea of what the
working man ,loes:
He makes everything that the far
mer does not.
He eats butter, but the farmer
makes it.
He, builds homes and lives in his
own, or should.
He eats corn flakes, but the far
mer raises it.
He builds automobiles and rides in
them.
He makes kid gloves and wears
them.
He makes fine tobacco and chews
scrap. CA "hell" of dirty habit.)
He makes fine flour and eats fresh
"union" bread.
He makes fine clothing and wears
the same as the rest of US.
He makes good cigars and smokes
stogies. CTis a good way TO save
money!
He builds electric light plants, to
conserve our coal.
he makes silk shirts ,>for a few sis
Sys to wear.
He eats the most of the beef that
the farmer raises.
He makes carriages because he is
too proud to push a wheelbarrow.
He makes broadcloth pants to dress
up in, and ovcralls t. work in.
He makes meerschaum pipes and
smokes cob. (SenSible and saving.)
He makes silk hats and wears soft
hats. (Again sensible)
He digs gold and has his teeth
filled just the same as other people
He builds fine cafes and eats at
home. (Why spend in a cafe?)
He makes fine shoes and wears
them.
He builds baseball grand stands
and bleachers, for money and his own
pleasure.
He makes leather belts to hold his
pants up.
He builds places OF amusement for
himself and farlily.
He should look or the optimistic
side instead of the pessimistic.
He should save some money and
not spend it all.
He is just what he makes himself.
