GRABER'S
metropolitan MARKET

When a butcher buys his meat
dressed from Chicago or Milwaukee,
he is not only sighting the interests
of the feeders of this country, but he
is dishing out a class of meat to his
customers which has no comparison
with our home killed beef. This
stands to reason as no packer can
afford to pay freight both ways, the
cost Of killing, the buyers or feeders
profit, besides the numerous expenses
in handling stock at the different
stockyards. and then sell it at the
same price we get our home killed beef
for.
When you buy at Graders you get
choice, hOme-killed beef and the best
of everything in the line of pork, veal,
lamb and smoked meats. Try US and
be convinced that we handle the best.
Yours to please,
Phone 5. A. T. GRADER.

BOLLACk IS HELD.
Russian Who Kicked Friend to Death
Must Answer for Murder.

A coroner's jury consisting of A. G,
killinger, H. c. Lindsay, John Miller,
T. V. Coddington, ]. H. B. Taylor and
John F. Carter, returned a verdict to-
day at an inquest which was held in
the court of Topeka court room, that
Andrew Mauer came to his death
from blows and kicks administered
by Joseph Bollack during the fight
they had on Sunday night last in the
Mauer home at No. 217 East Curtis
street. After the verdict had been
given a complaint charging Bollack
with murder in the first degree was
sworn out in the county attorneys Of
fees by Joe Mauer. son of the man
who was killed, and formal warrant
for Bo1lacks arrest was issued by
Judge Simon of the city court. Boil
lack has been in custody and in the
county Jail since Mauer was killed. He
will have a preliminary hearing on the
charge against him in the city court
on an early date.
With no little difficulty was the in
quest conducted by Coroner Keith.
The parties to the affray, which re-
suited in Mauer's death, are all resi-
dents of what is known as Little
Russia" in North Topeka They are
generally styled as Russians" but as
a matter of fact they are of German
descent. They are natives of Russia
but come from a southwestern por-
tion of that empire which was popu-
ldCoQ Dy Germans, anu their Talk is IN
the German and not the Russian
tongue. 1t was necessary to have in
terpreters from this colony to eluci-
date the testimony given by several of
the witnesses al the inquiry, and there
was not a little pickering between
witnesses and interpreters because one
accused the other of misconStruing
their meanings as the ''high Dutch"
of one did not coincide with the Glow
Dutch" of the other. Some of the
witnesses, however, were able to tell
their stories in the English tongue.
From the great mass of testimony
which was taken 1t appears that there
was "beer'' party of some proper
tions at the Mauer home covering a
period during last Sunday afternoon
and evening. Most of the guests went
their ways before late in the evening.
but Bollack remained. He and his
host Mauer. had an alteration over
some money matters which resulted in
a fight. Relatives of Mauer. who
were in the house at the time, testified
that Bollack struck the first blow and
that when he had f1oored Mauer he
kicked him into insensibility. Mauer
died as the result of the injuries he
received in the fight.
On several occasions Bollack. who is
a burly sort of fellow. broke down and
cried. 1t Is his claim that he fought
with Mauer only in self defense. and
had no intentions Of killing him. The
men and their families had been
friends for long time, before this
