HUNT HIM DOWN ryiag f* Fial the Maa Accused at Fearteea Brutal Warders -? WIFE HI,EPS OFFICERS Suspect in Colorado Springs, Where Six Persons Were llutchei'cd; and Acquainted in Illinois Town, Where Three Others Were Killed, Declares Former Spouse. That Charles Marzyek, ex-convict, ought by tho authorities In connqction with the murder of five members of the William Showman family at Ellwo-rth, Kas., Sunday night, had been in Colorado Springs, where tho six members of the Wayne and Hurnham families were slain, and was acquainted in Monmouth, 111., where three were murdered recently, was 11 4 !""

Samuel Showman, brother of William (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. All the members of the Slav community who had any connection with the conviction of Marzyek went armed Wednesday, for he is reported to have sworn vengeance on those * V. I ? lmi\i.lann Miont r68pODBl DIO I LM 111a iui|u loumijuui.. Ira Lloyd, the attorney who defended Marzyek in the wheat stealing case, said Wednesday: "I believed Marzyek will remain in the neighborhood until he has convpleted his vengeance. After his sentence 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. *1 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 bis 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 testified against Marzyek; Mrs. John Katke and three children, Emile, aged 17; Annie, aged 18; Mary, aged 20. As to a possible connection between the Ellsworth and other tragedies, Mrs. Vopat says her former ? \ ] r\f fiiri'prv in nusuauu was uuumvi&u w?. Colorado Springs a few months ago. She said that it was not improbable that he had been in Monmouth lately. The insane oruelty on the part of the slayer is evident in the Wayne and Rurnham tragedies, at Colorado Springs; in the murder of William E. Dawson, his wife and daughter, in Monmouth, and in the killing of the Showmans. Marzyek served in the Philippine war and after his return to this country deserted from the army. He had been in trouble since, for forging checks and stealing. Until he went to the penitentiary he was a constant iugiuve. LARGEST IN THE WORLD. Young Woman Weighs Over Eight Hundred Pounds.

DROPS TO DEATH Eugene Ely, the Famous Airman's Career Ends In a Fall at Nlacen JUMPED TO HIS DEATH looses Control of Muehine, which Plunges Downward, and Endenvors to Jump to Safety?Body Broken In Many Places, End Coming Eleven Minutes Eater. Eugene Ely, the well known aviator, was fatally injured at the State Fair grounds her shortly after 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, wnen nis aeroplane refused to rise after a sensational dip and plunged with liim fifty feet to the earth. in the presence of nearly S,000 people he fell to the middle of the inclosure of the mile track, almost clearing the machine by a desperate jump he made when lie realized his peril. His body was broken in a score of places, and he died eleven minutes after the fall. Just before the end came he regained consciousness and muttered. "I lost control; I know I am tooing to die." Ely made a 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 in,closure, wnich he circled in a few minutes traveling at about thirty miles an hour. As he was completing the circle. 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 velocity, the crowd applauded, thinkig that the aviator would rise, as he had done countless times before. But Ely seemed to lose his 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 demolished, flying bits of wood and metal flying hundreds of feet. Ely struck with terrific force. Scores rushed acoss the track to where ho lay, a broken, bloody, inert mass, to offer him aid. He was tenderly removed from beneath the wreckage which covered him, and carried to his quarters. Tho vast crowd, excited and curious, rushed forward, but, were kept in order by the policemen. Efforts were made to resuciate the aviator, but he only regained consciousness for a moment, before 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 Georgia State Fa'r, in his Curtiss biplane. En route he stopped at Davenport, Da., to visit his relatives. He had been giving spectacular aerial demonstrations at Macon for eight (lays, going up on one occasion anna 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 directors. The offer was declined. Ely was the first man to alight on the deck of a warship with an aeroplane. 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 Francisco Bay. After holding a reception on board the warship, Ely flew from the ship back to the camp and landed safely. COUPLE WHO WEKE DIVORCED Remarry After Living Apart for Fit ty Three Years. J. S.

SOLD HEK FOR CAIN WOMAN MAKES THIS CHARGE AGAINST HUSUAND. Three Months After Their Marriage She Declares He Hartercd Her to Chicugo Millionaires. "My husband?that serpent whom J killed, last week?repeatedly sold nie?sold my body?to a Chicago millionaire. Once rich himself, Patterson resorted to the worst when he lost his money. He sold mo on one occasion to that millionaire for $1,500. The purchaser took me to Europe and there we?well, I'll drop the curtain or. what we did there. Do you wonder that I shot Pattersop ?" This will form the line of defense for Mrs. Gertrude A. Patterson, now in jail at Denver, Col., for shooting and killing her husband, Charles Patterson, in the Phipps sanitarium in that city last week. It means she will plead "temporary insanity, the climax of a long series of unspeakable brutalities." "lie spat in my face, struck and called me the vilest name a man can call a woman," she declares, and shows a bruise on her cheek, which, she said, resulted from her husband's blow. "I have evidence in my husband's own handwriting that will undoubtedly clear me before a jury," declared Mrs. Patterson. Mrs. Patterson told her hideous story without reservation to her at torney, concealing nothing concerning her relationH with a Chicago man, and, at the same time, overlooking nothing which would Herve to discredit the character of her husband. According to Patterson's diary, found among his effects, he knew his wife was in Europe in January and February, 19 09, and could not have left her husband in February on excuse of going to visit her family in St. Ivouis, as he alleged in divorce suit he had filed against her. "Three months after we were married," said Mrs. Patterson in telling her story, "Chales Patterson told me to go to a Chicago millionaire for $ 1,500. He told me he might take me where he pleased,- that he might have me as long as ho pleased and that the sum paid in cash was his compensation. Four weeks later when the Chicago man and I were in P^urope, Patterson wrote me that, unless I returned to him by first boat, he would follow me and kill me He had spent the money then and he wanted me back that he might secure more That was the " Vi 1 A ma Un anIH mr? lilt?
