2 HANGED IN CHICAGO

WIFE SLAYER AND MEMBER QF BANDIT GANG EXECUTED. ' One Pull of the Hangman’s Lever Puts End to Existence of the Two Murderers. Chicago, Oct. 15.—Frank Camplone, a youthful member of the notorious Cardinella bandit gang, and John Henry Reese, a Pullman porter, who killed his wife with a hatchet, were executed at one pull of the hangman's lever In the county jail. The young Italian sobbed as the trap was sprung. The negro w’as calm. "I’m going to my Tesuand I'll find peace," was his only statement. “Almighty God will take care of me.’’ Camplone’s shrieks as he was bound aroused the prisoners throughout the jail. As the trap fell they shouted: “Good-by. Joe." Two guards had to support Campione to the gallows. While the equipment of execution was being adjusted he pleaded, “let me go. let me go." and he was crying when the trap was sprung. The execution was accomplished without delays. Others of the condemned thirteen were granted stays of reprieves in the last few weeks. A veritable robbers’ castle was discovered when the police gained possession of the house, the raid proving a complete surprise, catching the bandits off their guard. Shotguns, revol vers, ammunition, supplies, various disguises, burglars' tools and all the paraphernalia of highwaymen were confiscated. —~ —

New Prices on Shoes \ . AT B. N. Fendig’s Shoe Store Opera House Block This store, beginning Oct. 15, will offer the New Fall and Winter Shoes for Men, Women and Children at Reduced Prices. The leather goods market is such that we have repriced our complete line, basing our new prices on the present low market values. This effects a saving to the consumer and a loss to us of from 10 to 30 per cent. We make these radical cuts in price in keeping with our decision to take our loss in one large bitter dose rather than occasional reductions. These reductions anticipate prices and conditions which we hope will prevail next Spring, therefore we feel that you can safely buy your Fall needs at these greatly reduced prices. . ■ ■ This price reduction follows our general policy of keeping our price below competitive lines of equal quality and giving our customers the benefit of ; our advantageous purchases and changing market conditions This Is Not a Shoe Sale but the continuation of a permanent policy. GET OUR PRICES B. N. FENDIG, “The Shoe Fitter”
