I o w K^el?^Russla, Sopt^..l6.-Jejfjh<ri?. residents began fleeing from Kleff to day in fear that the shooting of Premier Stolypin et tho Kleff opera bouse Thursday night by Dimitri Bog roff, a Hebrew, would result In anti Semitic massacres tli oughout this ((strict,which ls already notorious the world over through Its debaucheries if blood. There ls a large force of [.ossacks lu the garrison here, who, it the first command, would sweep through tho ghetto, slaying men, wo men and children and accompanying Ibo orgy of death with barbarities too cruel for mention. Police Reveal Cabal. As tho police inquire more deeply into the Bogroff affair their luvestl gatiouij reveal a cabal of such Intri cate magnitude as to rival a plot in fiction. No writer ever conceived the maze and counter-maze of intrigues in which Bogroff has been a central (lg ure. Bogroff, an orthodox Jew, a lawyer and a graduate of Kleff University, played revolutionaries against tho government with consummate skill. Himself an anarchist at heart, he ac cepted pay from the Third Circle se cret police and betrayed bis fellows wit bout compunction. Ho has a long criminal record, but his arrests were always contrived by himself so ns to throw off suspicion and prevent bis associates from sus pecting his relations with tho govern ment. Bogroff Knows Nihilism. Bogroff probably has a wider knowledge of nihilism than any other man alive. If he were disposed he could tell of plots which are blowing now in tho dens of law-hating anar chists. He mingled with the lowest and highest with equal ease. Manacled and under heavy guard, Bogroff is now held prisoner in a for tress near here, lt was reported to day that he had already been execut ed, but this report was not generally accredited. The most likely report as to Bog roff'a fate was that he would be tried by court-martial and doomed to death. Vladimir Bogroff, a brother of the assailant of Premier Stolypln, who was arrested in St. Petersburg last night, ls alleged to be an active nihilist and probably will bo trans ported to Siberia. The wildest excitement reigns here. Seores of secret police have been Imported from St. Petersburg to ferrel out tho secrets of the plot in which Bogroff played the killing role, lu consequence of this, it bas been definitely ascertained that Stoly pln was not tho only marked man in KlOff. Bogroff has admitted that and il is believed by tho public that the prisoner further confessed that there were designs on the life Czar Nicholas.

Pretty Daughter of Georgia Ex-She riff Was the Victim. Cordelo, Ga., Sept. 17.-One of tho most sensational attempts at wife murder and self-destruction In the history of Cordele occurred late this afternoon in one of tho most popu lous sections of the city when J. T. Hudson, a well-known young barber, shot his young wife of only seven months through the left breast with a 38 calibro pistol and then turned the weapon upon himself, indicting an ugly ar.d gaping wound in his own breast that indicated that he In tended to end his life with a shot through the heart. Ho missed his aim, it is believed, as tho result of nervousness due to his rash deed. The young wife Is probably fatally wounded. Daughter of Ex-Sheriff Lyons. The wife of young Hudson was tho 20-ye?r-old daughter of Ex-Sheriff W. B. Lyons, of Wayne county, who figured so prominently in eliciting every aid possible in behalf of her father and brother, Archie Lyons, during their long incarceration In the jail at Jesup, Brunswick and Cor dele, and their repeated trials for their lives for the alleged murder of M. Fleming Smith at Jesup in Decem ber, 11)08. Largely through her ef forts, lt. Is believed, tho father and SOU gained their freedom. sho is well remembered throughout all South Georgia for her perfect de votion to the defense of her father and brother during their long incar ceration and trials. Abbl? Lyons' Name on Every Lip. Soon after tho long trial in Bor d?le, during tho latter part of Janu ary, at the conclusion of which her father and brother were released by the verdict of the jury in the case, Miss Abbie Lyons, whose name was on ovory tongue, was married to Budison, she being his second wifo. A few months later W. B. Lyons and Archlo Lyons, together with their families, moved away from Cor dele, |nnd it Is thought probable their persistent efforts to induce tho daugh ter to follow them had something to do With the working upon Hudson to the perpetration of tho tragedy. l)lgOi ?sf iou and Assimilation.
