Six Persons Were Butchered; and
Acquainted in Illinois Town,
Where Three Others Were Killed,
Bowman Cnnuco
Declares Former Spouse.


That Charles Marzyek, eX-convict,
sought by the authorities in connec-
ton with the murder OF five members
of the William Snowman family at
Ellworth, Kas., Sunday night, had
been in Colorado Springs, where the
six members of the Wayne and Burn
ham families were slain, and was ac-
quainted in Monmouth, ILL.,, where
three were murdered recently, was
the startling declaration made to the
authorities by Mrs. Minnie Vopat,
Marzyek's divorced wife. All these
fourteen victims were killed with an
axe.
Samuel Snowman, brother OF Will
liam Snowman, head Of the murdered
family, Wednesday started at the
head of a posse to search the county.
Marzyek is believed. to be hidden
in the neighborhood. If he is found
a battle is expected. Marzyek not
long ago served term for steahng
grain from James Vopat.
All the members of the Slav COM
munity who had any connection with
tho conviction of Marzyek went
armed Wednesday, for he Is reported
to have sworn vengeance on those
responsible for his Imprisonment.
Ira, Lloyd, the attorney who de-
Tended Marzyek in the wheat steal
ing case, said Wednesday:
"I believed Marzyek will remain IN
the rteighborhood until he has COM
pleted his vengeance. After MS SEN
tence he told me that when he was
released he would come back and Kill
the people who were responsible 1or
his conviction and also their chill
dren. L will put them all in he'll
he said
Evidence furnished by Mr.. and
Mrs, William Snowman is said to be
responsible for Marzyek's conviction.
Nine persons remain here who fear
his vengeance. These persons, all OF
them Slavs, his own race, are: James
yopat, Mrs. Minnie Vopat, who OBJ
tanned a divorce from Marzyek after
his sentence and married Vopat nine
months later; their two children, one
ten months old, the other three
years; John Katke, father OF the
murd cred Mrs. Snowman, who tes-
titled against Marzyek; Mrs. John
Katke and three children, Emile,
aged II; Annie, aged Ii; Mary, aged
20.
AS to a possible connection be-
tween the Ellsworth and other trag-
edies. Mrs. Vopat says her former
husband was convicted of forgery II
Colorado Springs few months ago.
She said that it was not improbable
that he had been in Monmouth late
ly.
The insane cruelty On the part OF
the slayer is evident in the Wayne
and P,urnham tragedies, at Colorado
Sprines; in the murder Of William
E. Dawson, his wife and daughter,
in Monmouth, and in the killing or
the Showmans.
Marzyek served in the Philippine
war and after his return to this
country deserted from the army. he
had been in trouble since, for forg-
ing checks and stealing. Until ne
went to the penitentiary he was d
constant fugitive.

"A full measure of efficiency in the

success that has attended the policy
of reappointing competent postmasters

HOTEL LICENSE
 WAS STOPPED
BEFORE ROLL CALL ALDERMAN HoRNER ANNOUNCED THAT HE
 WOULD VOTE AGAINST IT.
There Being But Seven Members Present, This Would Have Killed 1t, so Postponement Was
 Taken.

The city ordinance providing for an annual license of s25 for every ho- tel and s5 for every boarding house operated in this city was saved from defeat after it's third reading last night in a special session of the city council when Alderman Burgauer made q motion that the vote be de- ferred.
 There were but seven members of the council present, and it requires seven votes to pass an ordinance. Alderman Homer had stated that he would vote against the measure, which if had gone to roll call would have meant it's defeat.
 The ordinance was opposed by AL derman Homer on the theory that the hotels and boarding houses are made the "goatsp for all k,nds or extra taxation, simply because they can be reached, when other business institutions are protected against special occupation tax by the state laws. He said that if the cities ot the state had to have occupation tax money they should get the legisa- ture to change the laws so all classes of business could be taxed equally
