LITTLE ITALY
KING IS SHOT
BY ASSASSIN
Rum Tip OFF Blamed For the
Fourth Death This Year at the
Capital City

Anton Navarro, king of the Ital-
ian colony at Madison was shot
and killed Sunday night by AN un-
known assassin, who fired two shots
from a double barreled shotgun
through the window of Navarra's
West Washington avenue grocery
store.
It was the fourth murder this year
and the sixth in less than ten months
Police and federal agents connect
Navarra's shooting with mysterious
tipoff to the police on Saturday which
brought about the confiscation Of
more than $1,000 worth of liquor and
alcohol.
Police, Saturday night were mott
fed that at the west side Milwaugee
road depot there, they would find
large quantity of liquor, consigned to
A. Bammerato.
The policies informant spoke with
a distinguished Italian accent, and
although police officials are not GER
tain they expressed the belief Sun
day night that the voice of their in
formant seemed to be that Of Nav,
ARA, who was well and favorably
known to officials there.
Giving his message to the officers,
the informant Immediately hung up
the receiver, thus preventing the po
lice from learning more, about him.
Investigating the mysterious tip-oA
the police searched the depot's bag
gage room finding the consignment
of liquor, supposed to have been
shipped by an Italian importer in
Chicago.
There is no one known in Madison
by the name of A. BAH merato.

police, had never been mixed up in
any bootlegging affairs, and, although
his place had been searched by po-
lice on repeated occasions, no liquor
has ever been found.
Navarro was an outstanding figure
in Little Italy" and the official Ital-
ian court interpreter for Dane coun-
lty.. OF late years he had given much
time to the study of law, with the
hope in view to soon have his life
ambition, to become a full fledged
lawyer materialized
Navarro, who was about 40 years
old, had rallied group of friends
about him in his store Sunday night
to discuss Little Italys choice for
support in the nearing elections.
Suddenly Navarro saw someone
running toward his store.
Fires Both Barrels
Turning towrd the window, Navar-
ra squsrely faced his assassin, who
fired both barrels of a u guage shot
gun, filled with lead slugs, at him.
The slugs scattered all over Ma
varras body and death was almost
instantaneous.
Just as mysteriously as Navarra's
slayer appeared, he also disappeared
through an alley alongside of Navar-
ra's house, only seen by one man,
Henry Illegan, employed in the city's
garbage collection department, and
a neighbor Of Navarro.
Five other Victims
Other victims this year of, what
police term a. combination of war
between rival bootlegging factions
and black handlers, are:
Julius Ucello
Louis Lopwin, who, after being shot
died at the hospital, refusing to dis
close the name of his assailant.
Joseph Justo.
Late last year two other Italians,
Tony Bruno and James D'Amico were
shot and killed. D'Amico died a death
very similar to that of Navarro on
Sunday, he, too, being shot and killed
in his store surrounded by number
of his friends.

her. "Then you'll get the thrill OF
your life"
He showed her the high, glittering
Pavlof volcano, and her towering
sister peak, one of the most sym
metrical mountains in the world.
She felt increasingly glad that
Bradford had selected him for the
head guide. She saw with pleasure
that he was personally immaculate
his blond bead trimmed until it
was almost distinguished looking, his
rough garb we'll kept and clean. She
had a feeling that, should one of the
rolling waves rise up and overwhelm
the boat, his would be a strong arm
to rescue her. At present, however,
the seas were comparatively placid,
easily rolling, the sky blue overhead,
the warm late September sun pour
ing genially down on the deck.
81 believe we're going to have the
best of weather." she told him.
Pete hesitated. Il don't like the
way the clouds lie on the hills" he
told her soberly. "We're bound to
have good weather for cay or two,
I should say-likely time in plenty
to get where we're going. Of course
no one can tell in these uproarious
waters. After a few days there's 60
ing to be a change in weather, and
what that means, no one knows"
1t was Pete who, later, brought
fruit to her stateroom, opened a
jammed window, and with the finest
courtesy put himself at her service.
The Warrior rounded the PENN
sula, then turned northeast along the
south shore of Bering Sea. For the
first hree days the good weather pre-
vailed without break, but the morn
ing of the fourth brought sharper
wind, a more restless movement of
the whitecaps on the dark waves.
The fifth morning found the, sky

ledly keen edge to the wind. The wa

ter had darkened In hue, the tall
cliffs frowned from the shore. But
the Warrior progressed steadily, and
at the dawn of the sixth day dropped
her anchor out from the reefs where
the Jupiter and the Vigten had gone
down.
The landing party was soon ready
to disembark. Dorothy, deeply
moved by the belief that this was
the site of her husbands death, her
brunei beauty accentuated by the
wind on her cheeks, and the seas
blue deepening her violet eyes; Ivan,
thrilled by the savage beauty of the
land, dressed warmly in smart rid
ing trousers, rubber-and-leather
boots, and sheep-lined coat, and
the three guides outwardly stolid
and businesslike, climbed into one of
the ships boats into which Pete had
already packed large part of his
winter supplies and such duffle as
Dorothy and Ivan had brought; and
the word was given to lower away.
Gone thing more" Dorothy directed,
as the crew stood at the davit.
'Ivan, l want you to bring your VIC
lin"
"Of course" One of the crew i'm
mediately brought the precious in
strument to his side, not the brilliant
Stradivarius, but a beautiful Horn
STEINER of wonderful, mellow tone.
/ The boat was lowered, and the
three Alaskans took the oars. They
headed straight toward the gate be-
tween the reefs where the dory of
the Dolly Belts had rowed to rescue
the battered, bleeding Remittance
Man almost two years before.
Nearer view did not in the least
alleviate the deep telling that this
land invoked in Dorothy. AS she
pushed through the deep moss, up
the windswept hill, the haunting
spirit of the waste places went home
to her as never before.
Pete paused on the hill, then be-
gan a detailed study of the beach
below through the binoculars. And
almost at once he saw the weather
beaten white cross that marked the
grave.
Dorothy, watching him, saw a
queer look of strain steal into his
homely countenance; and the glass
trembled in his hand. But he spoke
slowly, perfectly casually, when hi
turned.
"I've found it already" he said.
"The CROSSE" Ivan asked quickly
Eyes. Not three hundred yards
from the camp. We would have
seen it from there if that big, gray
boulder hadn't been in the way"
The three of them walked quietly
down to the grave. The cross was
simple one of white board; yet the
crew of the Norwood had done well
by the man who slept below. They
had printed simply:

down like man in dream. What
travesty it was! What joke on
Big Chris Larson lying inarticulate
in the casket beneath.
Peter called the two camp helpers
and they came with their shovels.

Newhall," he said courteously.
Would you like to have me row
you back to the boat?"
an stay it out, Pete, thank you
Pm afraid it's going to ram,
though"
Pete's blue eyes studied the sky.
In the emotional stress of the last
few moments he had forgotten his
old enemy, the Northern winter. The
clouds had darkened and lowered j;
the cold, driving rain of the Nortd
Peninsula was certainly not far off.
Pm afraid so, too" he commented.
IF we work fast maybe we can

He took one of the three tools and
turned his own big muscles to the
task. 1t soon became increasingly
evident, however, that they could
not beat the storm; and in all hkeli-
hood would be obliged to spend the
night ashore, after all. At least the
casket could not be transported
aboard til calm weather; this much
was certain. For once IN his life

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
At intervals the rolling shore line
gave way to grim and lofty preci-
pices. the high ranges dropping
sheerly off into the sea, and here
the waves broke in great, upreach-
ing, shimmering clouds of spray. Be-
yond these many-hued cliffs was the
supreme Aleutian Range, wonder
full divide of sharp, jagged snow
swept peaks. There was no sign
that man had gained a foothold here,
never a village or roof, trapper's
hut or camp fire. Thus had it lain
unchanged since, in bygone ages, it
had raised up from the sea.
Dorothy was aware as she stood at
the deck railing that a few yards
forward Pete the guide watched the
shore line, too. He seemed lost in
the brooding mood that it invoked
She found herself glancing, from
time to time, at his homely, thought
full face, the broad shoulders hunch-
ed over the railing; and by woman's
secret ways she knew that he was
deeply and poignantly aware of her
presence, also. Suddenly he spoke
to her and pointed toward the beach.
Look just to the left of that big,
white triangular rock" he told her
do you see something moving
Instantly she caught spot of red.
"Yes-what is it,"
"A fox. Well see lots of 'em. If
you keep your eyes open, we may
see caribou, too-the roam here in
enormous herds"
She moved nearer to him, and he
pointed out things of interest. Once
he showed her flock of beach
gees, lifting tall heads from the
shore; often hair seal rolled up with
the combers, and once he showed
her what he thought to be that most
rare of marine animals, sea otter,
plying in floating bed of kelp. OF

And now the squall at sea was be-
ginning to resemble real hurricane.
The first few drops of cold rain,
like fine shot, began to lasn down at
them before a race-horse wind; and
Pete Immediately took measures for
his employers comfort, He took his
two men from the work, and aiding
them with his own broad shoulders,
he tipped the dory halfway over on
the beach. Then he spread Dorothy s
heavy, canvas-lined sleeping robe be-
meath it. Get under there" he in-
vited cordially.
Dorothy and Ivan both were glad
to obey, for all at once the clouds
dissolved in drenching gusts of rain.
The higher hills were at once Oh
scured in mist; and the storm, drop
ping between, all but obscured the
Warrior riding at anchor. And now,
as the storm increased in violence,
at became increasingly doubtful
whether or not the craft could stand
out in her present, exposed position.
They soon were answered as to
this. AS all of them watched, APP
palled, the dim ghost that was the
ship began to fade into a shadow.
The Warrior was floating away into
the haze-leaving Dorothy and her
companions to the grim solitudes of
the wild and the mercy of the storm,
