FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Feb.
5.-William Buckheim, a farmer
of Perkers Prairie, his wife aud
their four children are dead to-
day, the victims of the mans mur-
derous mania, which resulted from
a religious frenzy.
In the midst of his five VIC
Tins, Buckheim, who was 35 years
of age, was found dying by an old
er son. He declared that his ter
rible deed was the result of his
inability to execute a divine COM
mand and that it had been done
to escape the vengeance of God.
The fanatic, before he became
unconscious, said that he had beel
commanded to take his wife AMI
four children to certain grave
yard, where they were to dig up
certain bodies. This grewsome
work had to be done with their
bare hands, and be finished before
next Easter.
After viewing the frozen ground
he said he decided the task was
impossible. He returned to lis
home, shot his wife and children
and then committed suicide.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Investi-
CATION into the causes leading TO
the sinking of the Alaska Coast
vessel Kentucky in the
high seas after wireless messages
had saved the lives of her crew,
was begun today by the govern
ment.
The government probe will be
directed toward ascertaining
whether there might have been
criminal negligence in granting
the Kentucky her clearance pa
pers.
1t is said in shipping circles
that the Kentucky, which was first
commissioned thirteen years ago,
was not in shape for her intend
ct voyage around Cape Horn.
She left this port bound for
Tacoma but on the way sprang a
leak and was compelled to put in
at Newport News for repairs. She
was overhauled, given clearance
papers and started southwark.
According to wireless accounts
the seams of the Kentucky began
to let the water seep through
shortly after the steamer hal
passed the Virginia capes. AS she
went southwark the leakage .n-
creased, the seams bagan to open
and the water to rise in her hold.
The crew of the Kentucky, AZ
in number, are aboard the Mallory
liner Alamo, now speeding south
ward along the Florida coast on
her regular run.

VICTIM
THUGS ROB MAN. THEN MUIR
DER HIM BY POURING ACID
DOWN HIS THROAT.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, Feb. 5.-Seized
from behind by two or more men,
garroted, dragged to an alley
way, robbed and then deliberate
ly killed by having carbolic acid
poured down his throat as he lay
on the ground unconscious, was
the fate that befell Charles A.
Gunstead early today.
Body Found This Morning.
His dead body was found at 2
o'clock this morning on Post
street near Yesler Way by a
Greek named Martin Mevsick and
now lies at the morgue awaiting
advices from the mans relatives,
who live in st. Paul.
Crime Was Fiendish.
The murder of Gunstead is one
of the most unusual and fiendish
crimes that has ever been COM
mitted in Seattle. There is not a
mark on the mans body save the
acid burns around his mouth, and
he is man of such powerful build
that it is certain that he would
put up a hard fight before being
oyerpowered. Yet the coroner is
positive that he did not commit
suicide, but died at the hands of
others.
Had Been Dragged.
When the body was picked up
by Deputy Coroner Hill the mans
coat and vest had been pulled up
around his neck, while the under
side of his clothes showed beyond
any possible doubt that he had
been dragged along the muddy
street for at least block.
Gunstead,s pocketbook had
been cleaned of all of the money 1t
contained and had then been
stuck back in his trousers pocket.
Several letters were found
which showed that he had made
application for employment to
various firms in Seattle. One let
ter was from the Frye-Bruhn COM
pany, where he had been working
for the past week. I'll was a no.
tice of discharge and had been
accompanied by check for SIS.
Watchman Heard Scuffle.
The Greek who found the body
notified r. G. Becker, night fire
man at the plant of the Seattle
Electric company. A few mo-
ments before Becker had heard a
scuffle just outside his door, but
had been unable to investigate at
the time.
Gunstead was about 25 years
old, and is believed to be unmar-
ried. He was a fine specimen of
physical manhood.

Necessarily Led to Some Apprs-
hension.

The late William e. Ingersou. the
noted life INSURANCE manager, was an
authority on insurance rates.
"Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all
over the world" said New York man
ager, recently. "The Russian rates are
very high. Mr.. Ingersou once ex-
plained to me, with a story, why this
was.
"A traveller IN Russia, he said, no
ticed that the train was all deco
rated with flags and banners, and at
every station comapny of soldiers,
and band playing the national an
them. The traveller asked a brakeman
the reason of all this ceremony. The
brakeman, lowering his voice, re-
piled:
Il don't mind telling you, sir-but
In the strictest confidence, be 1t un.
derstood-that carriage in this train
has been engaged for his majesty. But
his majesty, as a matter of fact, won't

providing that nothing he should say
might be construed as criticism of his
predecessor.
''The principal aim Of a librarian is
to get the books under his charge into
the hands Of the people who want
them with the greatest degree of IA
cility commensurate with proper pre-
seryatiOn of the books themselves" +"
declared Librarian Legler.
CAS- rapidly as the finances viii al
low l believe in extending the free-ds-
livery stations. The number of branch
libraries ought also to be increased.
Free home delivery has been tried in
few cities, but it is not yet necessary
for Chicago and does not compare
with other and more urgent needs
for what money Chicago has to ex-
pend on its public library. With the
help of the school officials it is our
hope that the circulation of books in
the juvenile department may be in
creased to a great extent,
More liberal privileges, it would
seem to me, may be extended to card
holders. Elsewhere it is not an IN
usual custom for patrons Of public Ii
braries to be allowed the right Of
taking out two or three, or even more.
books at one time on one card, pro-
viding they do not attempt to mOnopo-
hze books for which there appears to
be widespread demand. Here. l am
told, the holder of card may take
out only one book at time. I think
that system may be changed with due
regard for the convenience of all con-
cerned.
The general trend everywhere also
appears to be toward increasing the
freedom of admission to book stacks.
However, l want to make it clear that
whatever changes l recommend will
be only after careful consideration
and after obtaining the consent of the
trustees"
Recently Mr.. Legler refused an of.
fer to take charge of the ST. Louis
public library and he also refused an
offer to become New York state If
brarian. He was for many years a
newspaper reporter, then became Sec
retary of the Milwaukee school board,
and for five years has been in charge
of Wisconsin's state library commits
sion, which handles hundreds OF trav-
cling libraries.
