by their own fault The suspicious that the
cholera was caused by poisoning the wells
was universal among the peasantry Of the
counties OF Zipe and Zsmphn. and every ono
was iuly convinced Of It's truth The 6rse
occasion arose 10 kluknau, where It is said.

the peasants to a notion Of the poisoning ~
INC wells. which spread like lightning. In

count Izaki, a servant Of the chief ba;l,ar
was on the point of being murdered. when -

These circumstances, and the fact that the.
peasants when they forcibly entered the hons.

chorase oil lime, which they took for the,
poisonous powder confirmed their suspicious.
and dove the people to madness. n th;s
state of excitement they committed the most
appalling excuses. Thus, for Instance. when
detachment of 80 soldiers, headed nv a.
ensign, attempted to restore order in kmk-.
nan, the peasants, who were ten trnas their,
number, Tell upon them; the sohliers wero
re eased, bnt the ensign was bound, tortured
with scissors and knives, then bcheaded and
his head liked on pike as a trophy A civil

drowned, his Carriage broken to pieces, and
chlorate oil lime being found IN the carriage.
| one ofthe servants was compelled 10 eat n
till he vomitcd blood, which again confirmed
the notion of poison.
On the attack of the house OF the Lord AZ
klusnau, the Countess saved her life by tho
most piteous entfeaties, but the chief baIiff.
in whose house chlorate Of lime was unhap-
PLY found, was killed together with his son.
little daughter. clerk, a maid and two
students Who boarded with him. So tho
bands went from village to village: where
ever nobleman or physician was found.
death was his lot, and in short time il was
