TOPEKA, KS, April 28.-Last Saturday
the wife of Jacob Freimuth, q homesteader
of Seward county, was cruelty murdered
aud outraged by Fritz Rupin. a half-wisted
German, who was dragged to death later.
Rupin had been for some time enjoying
the hospitality of the Freimuths. he was
homeless and without friends, and they
had taken him in until he could find work.
On the day mentioned. during the tempo
rary absence Of Mr.. Freimuth, Rupin over
powered his benefactor's wife and b~rutally
outraged her person. Not content with
this he bound the lady hand and foot, and
cut her throat from ear to ear. The brute
then secured an old rusty hoe, and while
the woman was yet writhing in the death
struggle, he disembowled her with the
blunt instrument. Mrs. Freimuth was
enciente, and when discovered the unborn
babe lay a few feet from her body. The
mother was cut in two. Mr.. Freimuth re-
turned on Sunday, and when he discov-
cred the mutilated body Of his wife he be-
came a raving maniac. A neighbor in
| that sparsely settled region happened to be
passing that way shortly after IL O'Clock,
| and found him wild with frenzy. but dared
not to approach him for fear OF his per-
sonal safety. He rode rapidly to a settle
ment some eight miles distant, and told the
terrible tale. A party was at once organ
lied, and they returned to the scene OF the
outrage, and found Freimuth weltering in
his own blood. He had killed himself
with q shotgun. A grave was dug, and The
remains of the unfortunate people were
buried. A posse then set out to scour the
country for the murderer, and found him
secreted in q small ravine several miles
away from the scene Of his crime. near
Cimarron river. Some speculation was
INDUCED in as to the proper method OF
Kidding the world of him, but not much
l.time was consumed in celebrating. A
fractions and spirited horse was secured
and saddled. One end OF a long larist
was then fastened around his neck, and
the other extremity attached to the POM
mel OF q saddle. The horse was then
started, and amid the shouting OF men
and the crack OF revolvers and rifles the
frightened animal tore madly away. After
a run for nearly FIVE miles the beast fell
exhausted, and the ~lifeless body of the
murderer was loosened as soon as the men
came. The lsriat was drawn so tight tha'
his head was almost severed from his
body. His features showed that he had
died a terrible death. The body was left
lying on the prairie uncovered.
