JOHN |MBODEN'S GRIMES
Kills His Invalid Brother, Sister
aud an Aged Man on a
Missouri Farm.
Infuriated by Blood the Fiendish
Youth Tries TO Slay the
Whole Family.

PIEDMONT, Mo-, Oct. 16-News has
been received here of one of the most
atrocious crimes ever committed in this
part of the State. John Imboden, a young
man of % years of age, killed his sister,
his brother and an old man who made his
home with the Impodens.
The Imbodens lived on Logans Creek in
Reynolds County, near the town of Filing.
ton, which was formerly known as Barnes
vile. Young I'm boden was man OF
violent nature and was greatly feared and
disliked in the neighborhood. Last May
his wife and his two little daughters died
suddenly. 1t was suspected at the time
that they had been poisoned, but nothing
was ever done in the matter. Since his
recent crime it is believed now that there
cen be no doubt that the three were mur-
dered.
quarreled with his 15-year-old sister.
and in fit of uncontrollabie anger
Drained her with an ak he was using at
the time. Jacob Wilhelm, an old man liv-
ing with the Imbodens, saw the crime
committed and tried to save the girl. but
only shared her fate, for the infuriated
man turned on him and crushed his head
with the weapon he had just used on the
defenseless girl. Ef
Then, frenzed by his bloody work,
youdg Imboden rushed into the house
seeking more victims. He found his
20-year-old brother sick in bed, and
without hesitation murdered him. He
struck him on the head with the ak, and
then in fiendish glee hacked his body into
fragments.
He then attacked his two younger sis
tiers, but the terrified girls fed from the
house and ran to where their father was
at work in a cornfield 300 yards away
from the house. He at once spread the
news among the neighbors and asked foi
help to secure his son.
A constable quickly gathered a posse
and started to search for the murderer.
He had made no attempt to escape and
was found in the yard. He. refused to sur
render when called on, and it was only
when the constable had him covered with
a revolver and threatened to shoot that he
finally yielded. The feeling against the
murderer is SO intense that lynching is
very pro bable.

GALENA A, ILL, Oct. 16.-Bandits who

were fred into the air and the men left
Immediately.
Approaching Mr.. Bauer they command
ed him to throw up his hands, one bandit
striking him on the head, while the
other shot bullet into his side near the
heart. The money-drawer was then
opened and the money taken. The shoot
ing attracted the attention OF some of the
neighbors, but so quick were the move
ments of the robbers that before any one
reached the saloon they had started out
through rear door. Early this morning
large party started out armed with
rifles. Farmers have joined the posse, and
nearly 800 have spent the day searching
the woods, but without result. If they
are caught they will undoubtedly be
lynched.

the women of the country were not
against the men, but were heart and soul
with them in opposing the aristocratic

first i'm portance. she said, was to organize
the workingwomen, because in Germany
the women were forbidden to join

lishment OF propaganda by means OF
leaflets and not through papers published
for circulation among women.
Miss Loewenhurz, another of the female
delegates, offered the suggestion that the
socialist women join hands with those OF
the bourgeois class in their movements.

ARRESTED IN A PooLRooM.
Seventeen Fomen Gathered In During
Raid 6g the PoEics.

seventeen HOten GnfbeTe0 IA OuTtug a
Raid by the PoIics.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 16.-Yesterday aft
ernoon seventeen women and two men
were arrested by detectives from the Gen.
trail police station in room Of the Rlcar-
do Hotel at 166 CLARK street, and locked
up on charge of being frequenters of a
p oolr DOM. Unlike the women arrested
weeks ago on the southside, the prisoners
were not fashionable women, but were
from the middle class, apparently the
wives of small shopkeepers and artisans.
The arrest came about through the re-
fusal of tie manager of the place to allow
q mulatto woman TO patronize the place
after she bad played once. She deter
mined to retaliate and swore out war
rant tor the arrest OF Ralph Doe on a
charge OF keeping mbling-room.
The warrant was served yesterday after
noon, when the place was almost full of
women. The officers secured possession
of the single ticker III the room, which
was connected with the wire, which ran
from the room through window into the
alley, where 1t ran up telegraph pole.
Four of the women walked to the police
station. One of these was an old woman
with white hair, who asked the officers not
to compel her to ride in the patrol wagon.
AT the station the women gave in most
cases what the police say are fictitious
names. Most of them took the matter OF
their arrest philosophically, and made
efforts to secure bondsmen, but many
spent the time in crying and wondering
what would become of them. Two OF the
women are said to be the wives of police
officers.

the Trenton station. The station agent at
once sent back a locomotive to find
Dressler, but the search was unsuccessful,

BOTH BECAME ms ANE.

Wife,

Wife.
INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Oct. leone of
the strangest cases in the history of this
city has just come to light. Rev. John W..
Milan, who until within few days has
been pastor of the Madison-av avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and his wife have
both been declared insane. Mrs. Milan is
an invalid, and in the hope that he might
benefit her the pastor took up the study
of medicine. He was devoted to his wife
and his worry over her condition, COM
bined with his intense study of medicine,
which he carried on without interrupting
his ministerial duties, proved too much
for his mind, which gave way under the
strain.
The first knowledge of his condition was
obtained when friends discovered him and
his wife shooting at imaginary figures,
which they claimed were annoying them.
This led to an investigation, which dis
closed that both were mentally impaired
and the necessary steps were made yester-
day placing them under restraint. Mr..
and Mrs. Milan are middle-aged and the
parents OF two children. Mr.. Milan has
served in the ministry for years and his
record is among the best.

Sewall ticket in a statement which he
gave to the United Associated Presses to-

diana Democratic Comm in substi-
tuting five Populist electors for duly
nominated Democratic electors to be "the
most infamous political proceeding ever
attempted in this State; in violation of
every Democratic principle and practice" !"
He gives reasons for deciding not TO vote
for Bryan and Sewall, saying he is a
Democrat and not Populist. He de-
nounces the fusion deal as ''disgustingly
immoral and an outrage and fraud on
the Democracy of Indiana. He accuses
Mr.. Bryan of insulting the dignity and
manhood OF all American wage-earners.

President Isaac Lewis Of Sabina, Ohio,
is highly respected all through that

Hoods Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted

as blood purifier. It has done me good
