time. The water rose rapidly around it to the
depth of several feet. The mother held her
six-months'-old infant in her arms above the
water. leaving the older children to care for
themselves. She suddenly noticed that her five
year-old boy was drowning and in attempting to
save him the infant slipped from her arms and
was drowned before aid could reach it. The re-

THE MAN WHO INCI1ED THE MURDERS

Career of August Spies, Editor of the Arbeiter
Zeitung and Anarchist Agitator.
New York SUM-
August Spies came to this country when six
teen years of age He is now about thirty-two.
has always been student on his own hook He
learned the trade of saddle-maker in Chicago,
but gave up this occupation when ne was twenty
years Of age, and tramped through the West
and South for couple of years When twenty
four he went back to Chicago, and soon took
part in politics At that time there were no
Anarchists in Chicago. Spies himself was a
Socialist, and being good speaker he soon rose
to be leader of the Socialists, who were so
strong that they cast 10, 900 votes for their can
didate for Mayor, DR.. Ernst Schmidt. Spies
became afterward manager of the Socialistic
daily in Chicago, the Arbeter Zeitung, which
had at that time big circulation and great in
fiuence with the workingmen. Spies urged his
friends to make him managing editor as we'll as
business manager, and he gradually nodded the
Socialistic Arbeiter Zetung into an Anarchist
organ after the style of the Freiheit, whose
