MANIAC KILLS AND BURNS.
Heavily Armed Maniac Finally Sub- Eij
dued by Gendarme with a Sabre.
Muehlhausen, Germany, Sept. 5.?
Fifteen persons were killed here agi
when a school teacher named Wag- SU1
ner ran amuck last night with sever- tin
al revolvers and a plentiful supply his
of amunition. Eight persons died fac
shortly after Wagner opened up his ccn
fusillade and seven others of 20
wounded succumbed today. Four un
more persons are in a precarious esc
condition. en<
Wagner previously had killed his d!V
wifp and four children in the ~>earbv ^
town of Degerloch, and then came ^ei
to Muehlhausen to continue his deadly
work.
When Wagner finally was overpow- lts
ered by infuriated townspeople with
clubs and pitchforks it was believed afc
he was insane. A commission of examining
judges after a hearing sor
when Wagner rationally answered ec*
their questions, declared the mur- oct
derer normal, mentally.
Although Wagner"s arm had to be tl!r
amputated because of wounds his s0^
condition is said not to be dangerous. Slb
He had 300 cartridges when he open- ant
ed fire upon the townspeople and ofthese
he fired 80. fac
The maniac took refuge in a stable
where he killed all the cattle. He cei
was finally overpowered, after he exc
had exhausted all the 250 cartridges
with which he had provided himself. as
The enraged villagers wreaked their A *
vengeance upon him by clubbing him
and stabbing him with pitchforks.
He will probably die. e *
When he entered Muehlhausen it
was not known that he was a fugitive
murderer. It was only after the wild
scenes which had been enacted here
that the police went to his apartment kei
in Degerloch, where he has been ^e
teaching, and found the bodies of his m-v
wife and children.
After he had set fire to the first tril
building in the village Wagner open- mo
ed fire with his revolvers on every I ma
one he met or who appeared at the "1S
windows of the houses.
The villagers believed the place ing
had been atacked by a band of rob- j
bers. Some of them rushed to the I
church and furiously rang the bells, j 2rr
while others dashed off to the near- kni
est barracks and asked for assistance sel
by the troops. wa
In the meantime a village police- ! stri
man. backed up by some of the more ! sev
courageous citizens, rushed on Wag-1
I ner.
who stood in the "middle of the - i;ea
main street with a mask over his face *'o:
and an army revolver in each hand I s-1"
and another pair in reserve in his ' leti
belt. j ?re
The policeman was twice wounded j
by bullets, but continued to run to- su*
ward Wagner, although armed only 1 t0
with a sabre. He fmaMy reached and l!1
felled the maniac while he was reloading
his revolver. Wagner con-' V-a
tinued the fight while on the ground r,n
cud wounded the policeman a third rn!
i <
time. !
Some peasants armed with rustic; vVa
weapons then reached the scene and | >V!t
fractured his skull, as well as sever-1 *)ie
ing one of his hands. j 11111
Wagner was known to be a heavy;
drinker, but his acquaintances in the j sco
neighborhood had no suspicion of his : e^e
madness. He appears to have content- j ur
plated his deed for a long time.
Before leaving Degerloch, where ]
he had killed his wife and four children,
he forwarded a rambling letter agl
to a Stuttgart newspaper in which he
wrote: ' of
"I believe there is no God. I am jiai
the devil's ally. I wish I could tor- ^h
ture every one within reach of my 0f
pistol, but I know I can't get all. I sta
have slept for years with a dagger giv
and a revolver beneath my pillow."

Richmond, Texas, Sept. 8.?The jg t
suffocation of eight negro convicts in QV(

FOUGHT BIG OCTOPUS.
sjhty-Five Feet Under Water for
Forty-Five Minutes.
I
Fighting furiously for 45 minutes !
linst an octopus S5 feet below the ;
rface of the water, at the same j
le talking over the telephone to |
i attendants in a scow on the sur- |
I
e of the water, giving them ac- ]
mts of the remarkable battle as '
progressed, and finally, practically |
injured but in fainting condition,
:aping, was the remarkable expense
of Walter McRay, a deep sea
-er, at Alden banks, near Anacor,
says Seattle (Wash.) corresponice
in The New York Sun.
McRay was engaged by the Apex
diing Company to examine one of
fish traps on Alden banks, and on
> third trip to the bottom he ran
>ul of the fish most dreaded by
ers. He had followed the lead for
ne distance when his foot was seizin
the deadly grasp of the giant
opus. At the same time the big
1 emitted a large amount of "ink,"
ning the water in the vicinity abutely
black, and making it imposle
for the diver to see his assailJames
E. Hill, who was on the sure
in charge of the assistants to
Roy,-stood with the telephone rever
at his ear. He heard a slight
:lamation from the man below, folded
by a violent pull at the life line
the diver was thrown off his feet.
?ew seconds later McRay said over
! telephone:
'Now, keep cool. Don't get excitA
devil fish has got me."
rhe rest of the battle, as told by
Rav and described by Hill, was as
lows: ?j
'When I heard those words, spo- f
1 by McRay as calmly as though he g
re greeting a friend on the street, e
hair stood on end. n
'The octopus, immediately after S
pping McRay, had thrown two B
re tenacles about the prostrate E
n, one around his body, binding E
left arm tightly to his side, and i||
: other between his legs and reach- 11
up his back. The head of the IB
1 was on McRay's chest. P
'Almost helpless, yet with his right ||j
u free, he was able to draw hisig
ife from his belt and defend him- B
L Fighting at the great depth of jg
ter and under heavy pressure the ill
ain soon told on the diver and ; rc
eral times he nearly collopsed. S
'At no time, however, did he ap- j |jj
ir to get excited or lose his head, iff
r the entire 43 minutes when he IS
uggled he gave me frequent bul-j^J
Ins as to how the fight was pro- ! ~

'After McRav had succeeded in J
i m.
iduing the octopus he proceeded ,

free himself from the wire mesh i
which he had become entangled. !?i

Economy in Good Roads.
rhe United States department of
dculture has issued a paper calling
ention to the increase in the value
farm tlapds wherever bad roads
:e been replaced with good ones,
ere will be no question on the part
those who know the facts of the
tements made. Illustrations are
en of farmers bitterly opposing
; expense of improved highways,
o discovered that once the improvent
had been made they could sell
iir land at a very material inase
in price.
There is another feature of this
jject which interests us, and that
:he enormous saving of good roads
jr bad ones in wear and tear upon
> horses. To say nothing of the
s in harnesses and wagons caused
hauling loads over the average
intry roads, the prolonging of the
?fulness of the horse by well-made
i carefully maintained roads would
