With sorrow Pedicini announces the death of William Maccatebinessi of the Ottawa tribe of Arbre Croche Michigan, sent by Rese to Rome and received as a student at the Collegio Urbano some time ago. He is said to have suffered an unfortunate accident in America in which a wheel passed over his chest. On the morning of June 25, an artery in his chest broke, and weakened by the loss of blood he died.
