Chenoa, ILL.,, Oct: 30.-1n remarka-
BILE ARRAY, the motive for which is still
mystery, William LIE DUO, a farmer,
living a mile and half from this vii
lage, instantly killed his brother-in-
law, Mayor Charles Nickel, in the Che
noa state bank Saturday afternoon. He
then killed Hugh D. Jones, wealthy:
landowner, who was transacting bust
ness in the bank, barricaded himself IN
the vault, from which in various fusil-
ladies' during the afternoon he wound
ed two more men and kept mob at
bay. He finally surrendered at $3.50
o'clock to two sheriffs and their depu-
ties, after maintaining q desperate
siege for six hours.
Makes Vault His Fort.
LIE Due turned on Jones directly after
shooting down the mayor, and when
the landowner fed into the banks
vault from the crazed murderer, he fol-
lowed, shooting. him twice. Through
out the siege which followed the corpse
of his second victim lay beside him in
his stronghold. BY chain inside OF
the vault LIE Duo prevented the attack
ing force from entering, and two heavy
ledgers between the door and jamb
made It impossible for them to shut
him up and stop his shooting. He had
pockets full of ammunition, and his
reputation as q crack shot caused the
sherihfs and citizens to give his range
a wide berth. Sixty shots were fired by
the prisoner from the longitudinal slot,
and 300 rifle and pistol cartridges were
expended by the less expert marksmen.

were blown into the small room. With
a battering ram the posse attempted to
beat In the door. 1t was all to no pur-
pose. lie Due did not surrender until
he became hungry and the sheriff had
promised him square meal. During
the siege the murderer amused himself
by burning up the banks currency. He
destroyed $500, and had a pile OF $4,000
ready for the flames.
Besides killing Nickel and Hughes,
LIE Due wounded R. j. Irwin and w. G..
Ramsey, both of whom tried to shoot the
slayer in his ambuscade. Fearing the
attack of the mob which surrounded
the bank until late hour LIE Due Sc
cretly was taken to Bloomington at mid
night by Sheriff Edwards.
While it is said that LIE Due is in
sane, and others call him stupid fel-
low, no adequate explanation Of his
deed has been offered. The two fami-
lies had dwelt in peace since their re-
lations began, and visited back and
forth. LIE DUO and his wife. however,
separated several weeks ago, and since
that time the husband has acted queer

ton is now being accepted by the TERRI
fed leaders of the cars government
and the grand dukes. Panic, complete
and unreasoning, has seized upon all
divisions of the ruling class as result
of the chaotic conditions of riot, muany
and revolution that exist in appalling
proportions in every part of Russia
proper.
Drifting Toward Anarchy.
The situation cannot we'll be exag-
gerated. With the present tndecision
of the emperor the government has
neither head nor policy to meet tho
crisis, and things seem to be. drifting
toward anarchy. The revolutionists
openly declare that the government
has ceased to exist, and that. nothing
remains to his majesty except to abdi-
cate. With a firm hand at the helm
and a rational policy, however, all
might quickly be changed.
With a strike in the government post
office Sunday night, communication
with the interior practically closed.
Government troops were placed in the
telegraph Office, but only few lines a<e
working. Many lines, including the
land lines to the continent and to Libau,
where they connect with the cable,
have been cut. At ten o'clock, however,
the cable by way of Nystad and Sweden
was still open. This is now the only
thread connecting Russia with the outer
world.

THRONE OF CAR
IN Grave Peril
REVOLUTION SPREADS RAPIDLY
AND RUSSIA DRIFTING
INTO ANARCHY.
Ruler Hesitates to Grant Demanded
Reforms-Moscow Threatens Es-
Enlistment Of Independent Gov
ernment-Entire Empire in Panic.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 3O.-With new
provisional government for Russia
being formed by the revolutionists at
Moscow and with the flames OF revolt
leaping higher and higher in every city
of the empire, threatening to consume
the dynasty, Car Nicholas remains
firm, and despite the almost frantic
pleading of Count Witte refuses to
grant the reforms which might stay the
hand that threatens humiliation.
With each passing hour the situation
in Russia becomes darker and darker,
and it seems, as it were, that the fuse for
q spontaneous outburst Of pillage ana
murder is burning rapidly. Revolu-
tionists are making demonstrations In
every city and province and strikers are
continually clashing with the police and
soldiers, hundreds already having been
killed or wounded.
Never In all Russia's history has the
empire confronted q situation fraught
with more danger to the imperial gov
eminent. That the autocracy is top
ping and apparently can withstand the
ordeal but little longer is now almost
universally conceded.
Forming New Government.
In Moscow, the ancient capital city of
the empire, delegates of the various po-
litical parties, according to late advices
from there, already are engaged in the
formation of government to act indie
pendently of the imperial authorities.
What actually is Transporting there can
not be learned in st. Petersburg, for
communication between the two cities
has completely been broken of.
Bullets for Rioters.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 28.-Warnings to
the people that in case of disorder the
soldiers will fire ball cartridges were
posted on every street corner Friday.
Reenforcements of troops are pouring
into the city. The yellow cuirassiers,
hussars and the Omsk regiment have ar
rived here from Tsarskoe-Selo and
5000 soldiers are coming by water from
Reval. Several trains with military es-
corts have forced their passage from
Moscow.
