MURDER BY WHOLESALE.

A Rival for the Famous Bender Fanny
Sentence OF Gracian Chleborad, at Az
wn,d Kas., to Fifty Years Imprisoh
ms at for killing His Brother-A series
of Disappearances Now ThouEh' 10 i'e
Been Caused by Murder.
ATWOOD, Kan, April 5.--Judge Der
tram on Thursday sentenced Graclah'
Chleborad to fifty years in the peni0eh
tiary for murder. Chleborad Is ABOUT
thirty wears old, and will probably not
live to serve his time out Inc crihio
of which he was convicted was poison
ing his younger brother Joseph last De-
cember Strange to say. although there
was proof positive of strychnine in the
dead mans stomach, and every clrcum-
stance pointed to Graclan as the muir.
derer, the jury returned verdict OIL
murder in the second degree, Acquiring
Mrs. Chleborad, Gracian's wife, who was
indicted with him. The Judge, how
ever, made amends for the jury's action
by pronouncing sentence that virtual
~ amounted to life imprisonment.
If the evidence of Chleborad's neigh
bors is to be believed, the poisoning or
Joseph Chleborad was the last OF
series of murders that, if investigated,
will prove as horrible as the Infamous
Bender crimes exposed in 1878. Inc
Chleborads lived on claim that was
originally settled by Mr.. Shaw, who
mysteriously disappeared. Evidence
indicated that he was murdered for
his money and his body thrown into an
abandoned we'll on the ''divide" not far
from the Shaw dugout. After awhile
the Chleborads, consisting of a man and
Il ;S 70 nd IF which (Yrariln
was the oldest, took the claim.
In the course of time Mrs. Chleborad
died mysteriously and her place OF
burial was never known. The event &C.
casioned comment, but the people SEEM
ed to be afraid of the Chleborads, and
it was never investigated. 1t was gen.
orally believed, however, that she was
murdered and her body thrown into the
we'll Later the old man died suddenly,
and the neighbors again suspected poi
soning. This was followed by fresh
burial in the we'll. This crime was
charged to Gracian Chleborad and his
wife, May. A few months later one of
the brothers disappeared, and Gracian
said that he had gone to Nebraska; but
the boy never came back. and it is sup
posed the we'll received another victim.
Last December young Robert was
poisoned, and the murderer was detected
by a party of neighbors, who met Ora
clan with the body of the boy on his
shoulder, making straight for the old
we'll. He was arrested and the murder
proved. An effort has been made to
have the county commissioners dig out
the old well now nearly filled up, when
proof of all these horrors is likely to APP
near.

BLOODY DEEDS.

Several Murders in Rowan County, KY,
Follow a Raid of Revenue Officers
Illicit Stills-InfOrmers, or Those Sus-
pected of Being Such, shown No Mercy.
JOHANNESBURG. KY, April 5.-Law-
iessness and violence have again made
their appearance in Rowan County,
growing out of the manufacture and
sale of illicit whisky. The United
States revenue men made a sweep a
week ago, destroying various stills, and
things are being made decidedly I'M
comfortable for the people who are
thought to have given the Government
informal ton.
Eph. Cooper was shot from ambush
Thursday, and Bart Baumgartnep and
Tim Cooper were also killed in fight.
George Hogg, son of the sheriff, was
shot yesterday morning. Hiram
Roberts was bushwhacked Thursday
and mortally wounded. Nelson Egan
was called to his door Tuesday and re-
ceived bullet in the brain. 1t is all
a mere question of whisky or no
whisky, and there is no telling where
the bloodshed will end.

A Season of Decided Unrest i'm the Russian
Capitalize Cars Illness and the
Mystery Surrounding 1.-THE Closing OF
the Universities and what 1t May Lead
to-An Effort to Divert Popular Atten-
ton.
LONDON, April 5.-The absolute
secrecy observed by the authorities at
ST. Petersburg in regard to the condi-
ton of the Gar has left the way clear
for flood of rumors of the most diver
sified and, in many cases, the most I'M
probable character Not only is secrecy
maintained in the matter of permitting
reports to go abroad, but the same de-
gree of popular ignorance concerning
His Majesty prevails in st. Petersburg,
where the people are even forbidden to
indulge in public speculation on the
subject. 1t is permitted to be known,
however, that intense excitement exists
in the Russian capital and that it is on
the increase. The closing of the uni
versities has swelled the popular dis
content, by the realization that such
action has practically ruined the flu
ture careers of thousands of young men,
who, by the deprivation of the ensuing
years course in the institutions from
which they are debarred, will be COM
peeled to devote themselves to other pur-
suits, if, indeed, their enforced leisure
does not lead them into dangerous
paths. Discomfort on this account has
spread among hundreds of thousands
who would otherwise be content to let
things drift along in the old way. AS
If to divert popular opinion from the
unsettled state of affairs at home, the
Novoe Vremya urges that more atten-
ton be paid by the government to af-
fairs in Afghanistan and India, and
warns the government to beware of
British intrigues in the former terri
tory, which it believes are already in
progress
