PUBLISHED TRIAVEEKLi HUNT HIM DOWN Trying fa Find (he Mao Iceostd at Fourteen Brutal Koidtrs WIFE HELPS OCFICERS Suspect in C^torado Spring, Where Six Persons Were Butchered; and Acquainted in Illinois Town, Where Three Others Were Killed, Declares Former Spouse. That Charles Marzyek, ex-convict, sought by the authorities in connec tion with the murder of five members of the William Showman family at Ellworth, Kas., Sunday night, had been in Colorado Springs, where-the six members of the Wayne and Burn ham families were slain, and was ac quainted in Monmouth, 111., where three were murdered recently, was the startling declaration made to the authorities by Mrs. Miinnie Vopat, Marzyek's divorced wife. All these fourteen victims were killed with* an axe. Samuel Showman, brother of Wil liam Showman, head of the murdered family, Wednesday started at the head of a posse to search the county. Marzyek is believed, to be hidden in the neighborhood. If he is found a battle is expected. Marzyek not long ago served a term for stealing grain from James Vopat. f All the members of the Slav com munity who had any connection with thr>. conviction of Marzyek went armed Wednesday, for he is reported to have sworn vengeance on those responsible for his imprisonment. Ira Lloyd, the attorney who de fended Marzyek in the wheat steal ing case, said Wednesday: "I .believed Marzyek will remain in the neighborhood until he has conr pleted his venge;-' ce. After his Len tence he told me that when he was released he would come back and kill the people who were responsible for his conviction and also their chil dren. 'I will put them all in hell,' he said." Evidence furnished by Mr. and Mrs. William Showman is said to be responsible for Marzyek's conviction. Nine persons remain here who fear his vengeance. These persons, all of them Slavs, his own race, are: James Vopat, Mrs. Minnie Vopat, who ob? tained^a divorce from Marzyek after his sentence' and married Vopat nine months later; their two children, one ten months old, the other three years; John Katke, father of the murdered Mrs. Showman, who tes tified against Marzyek; Mrs. John Katke and three children, Emile, aged 17; Annie, a^ed lil; Mary, aged] 20. { As to a possible connection be tween the Ellsworth and other trag edies, Mrs. Vopat says her former husband was convicted of forgery in Colorado Springs a few months ago. She said that it was not improbable that be had been in Monmouth late ly. The insane cruelty on the part of the slayer is evident in the Wayne and Burnham tragedies, at Colorado Springs; in the murder of William E. Dawson, his wife and daughter, in Monmouth, and in the killing of the Show mans. Marzyek served in the Philippine war and after his return to this country deserted from the army. He had been in trouble since, for forg ing checks and stealing. Until he went to the penitentiary he was a constant fugitive. WERE NOT THE OXES. Quest for Capt. Jarvis Results Un successfully.

ORANGEBl mi TO DEATH Eageoe Ely, tlie Famous Aiaman's Ca reer End? Id a Fall at Bacon JUMPED TO HIS DEATH Loses Control of Machine, which Plunges Downward, and Endeav ors to Jump to Safety?Body Brok en in Many Places, End Coming Eleven Minutes Later. Eugene Ely, the well known avia tor, was fatally injured at. the State Fair grounds her shortly after 3 o'plock Thursday afternoon, when his aeroplane refused to rise after a sen sational dip and plunged with him fifty feet to the earth. In the presence of nearly $,000 people he fell to the middle of the inclosure of the miie track, almost clearing the machine by a desperate jump he made when he realized his peril. His body was broken in a score of places, and he died eleven minu tes after the fali. Just before the end came he regained consciousness and muttered. "I lost control; I know I am going to die." Ely made 8 remarkable flight Thursday morning shortly before noon, ascending to an altitude of 3,100 feet. At 2.45 o'clock he began his second flight of the day, rising gracefully from the track iuqlosure, which he circled in a lew minuter., traveling at about thirty miles an hour. As he was completing the cir cle, he made one of his famous dips, apparently to startle the thousands beneath him who were watching with straining eyes. The birdlike machine shot down with tremendous veloci ty, the crowd applauded, thinkig that the aviator would rise, as he had done countless times before. But Ely seemed to lose bis grip on the iever, for the machine continued its downward plunge to the earth. Realizing his peril, Ely released the lever altogether and half jumped, .barely clearing the aeroplane as it crashed to the ground. It was demol ished, flying hits of wood and metal flying hundreds of feet. Ely struck with terrific force. Scores rushed acoss the track to where he lay, a broken, bloody, inert mass, to offer him aid. Ho was tenderly removed from beneath the wreckage which covered him, and carried to his quar ters. The vast crowd, excited and cu rious, rushed forward, but, were kept in order by the policemen. Ef iorts were made to resuciate the aviator, but he only regained con sciousness for a moment, bet?re his death. Even in his unconscious state his physical agony was manifest. Ely left his wife in New York two weeks :ago to come to Macon to give a series of flights for the Geor gia State Fair, in his Curtiss bi plane. En route he stopped at Dav enport, La., to visit his relatives. He had been giving spectacular aerial demonstrations at Macon for eight days, going up on one occasion amid a shower of rain. Thursday he even offered to make a flight by night, painting his craft with phosphorous, "so as to startle the natives," he told the Fair direc tors. The offer was declined. Ely was the first man to alight on the deck of a warship with an aero plane. During an aviation meet, held in San Francisco, a distance of about twenty miles, and alighted on the deck of the cruiser Pennsylvania, which was anchored in San Francis co Bay After holding a reception on board the warship, Ely flew from the ship back to the camp and land ed safely.

TWO CENTS PER COP* _ nIeWauve rhe Chinese Spire Neither Age Nor Sei in Nhssacre of Manchas THE DEAD ARE PILED UP Consternation Resigned at tbe Capi tal All Bay Thursday, and Refu gees from the Fighting Zone Tell of Horrors of Chinese Revolutions at Hankow and War Chang. A cablegram from Shanghai, China, says six packed steamers ar rived here from Hankow today car rying refugees. The steamer Belgra via was occupied exclusively by for eign passengers who were given free accommodations at the directions of the consul in Hankow. The ship w?.s so crowded that mnay of the pas sengers slept on the floor of the hold. Most bf the foreigners* were Russians employed in the tea facto ries and Belgian iron workers, em ployed ira the steel works, the Han Yang arsenal, and on the Peking Hankow Railway. The refugees declare that the whole Yang Tse Valley, from Hankow to Shanghai, is in the hands of the reb els with the possible exception of one or two of the larger cities to which provincial officials have retired with their available troops. It has been in sistently stated here that lliu Klang, 15 miles below Hankow, is under revolutionary .control. This is denied, however, by foreign officials and by the representatives of the Chinese custom service. Accounts of the revolutionary at tack on Wo Chang as given by the refugees emphasize particularly the massacre of the manchus in that ci*y. In the slaughter neither age nor sex was regarded and it is doubtful, the refugees say, whether a single rep resentative of the Mnau'v.i race was left alive there. Similar slaughter of the Manchus followed in Hankow and Han Yang, when those cities fell. Copies of the Central China Post, which arrived on the Belgravi.., de scribe the early progress of the revo lutionary movement. "The revolu tionary leaders," the paper says, "displayed secrecy, promptitude and thoroughness?qualities seldom shown by the governing classes in China. But the massacre of the Man chus in cur three cities is a ghastly blot on the reputation of the revo lutionaries." Shanghai is a hot bed of revolu tion and rumors of plots and counter plots are numberless. A formal ap peal issued by the revolutionary a* gents here today says: "We appeal for the cooperation of cur brethren .throughout the world. Those with money should contribute funds; those with wisdom should devise plans; 'hose with information should secretly report the enemy's condition. We expect that our move ment will succeed. If it fails, the ten days' massacres of Hang, Chow and Kiating, when the Manchus subdued China, will ,be rep ;ated. "It is hoped that our patriotic brethren will respond from all directions and with unanimous minds will turn this universe about." A proclamation credited to the revolutionay leader in Hankow is as follows: "I come to save the Chinese peo ple . I have no idea of acquiring personal profit or preference but aim enly to pull you out of the fire and cure your cankering maladies. Hith erto you have bee.i bitterly oppos ed. You have been drowned in a sea of misery by a government of aliens. Your rulers have treated you like bastards, not like children. "Let whoever is animated by pa triotic sentiment come quickly and join our ranks. With us he will ob tain unending glory by delivering his country from the Manchu barbaian who hitherto has eaten our llesh. From now on we shall sleep in his skin. "Let us be merciful even to our enemies. Our soldiers must bo careful not to recklessly kill the Manchus. Let us give them an op portunity 'to surrender their uniform acj \; capons. If they do not then yield and continue enemies of the rcuriutioary movement, they muse hi? killed. The official announcement this morning that telegraphic communi cation with Hankow had been inter rupted since sunset last night, caus ed consternation throughout the capital today. The wildest rumors of reverses to the imperial arms spread like wild (ire, although no definite facts to sup port them were available. Much significance was attache*! to the fact that the government has refrained from issuing any official ansounce meni of a victory in yesterday's en gagement with the rebels. Made Him Sleep in Burn.
