Hastings, Neb., Oct. 9.—Across the body of his mother, Mrs. M. Budenek. John Budenek shot one of his sisters, his brother and his brother-in-law, early this morning. Jacob Budenek and Smeail are iu a dying condition. The tragedy was in the death chamber in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Smeall, 1350 West Second street. Mrs. Budenek had been liv- ing with her daughter, Mrs. Smeall, and it was there she died last night. Members of chefamily had quarrelled several years ago und the son, John, became estranged from the others. For this reason he wasnot permitted to see his mother in her last illness. John Budenek heard late last aight of his mother’s death and determined to have a last look at the body, whatever the cost. Before leaving his own room for his sistar’s house, shortly after miduight, he placed his revolver in his pocket. Believing that ithe knuck:d at the door he would be refused admittance, he went around to the kitchen of the Smeall home and there gained entrance, Ia the death chamber Budneck found his sisters, his brother aad his brother-in-law around the casket in which the body of his mother lay. Advancing he placed his hands on the body and said: “This ts my mother.” The younger sister, Mise Frances Budenek, said something to him in Polish, at which Budenek struck her. Then stepping back, Budenek, ap- parently in a frenzy, drew his revol- ver and, across the dead body of the mother, fired at the younger slster. Jacob Budenek and Sm-ull interfered, but before he could be overpowered he had shot them also Of his living relatives in the death chamber only the older sister, Mrs. Snenll, escaped jury . Budenek was arrested and locked in jail Ho refused to discuss the tragedy or to say more than the single sentence: “I saw my muther.” Apparently be thirks this result justifi d the shooting. Tae Budenek family quarrels grew out of a division of money placed for safe keeping with the mother by her seven children. The quarrels fre quently led to personal encounterr and were often alred in the courts. Two undertakers were present when the shooting took place. They tried to interfere with Budenek, but were powerless. Dressed as a Man 40 Years. Trinidad, (vl, Oct. 9.—After mas- querading as @ insn for f rty years, “Charles” F. Baub»ugh’s secret was discovered in San R :phaei hospital During the forty yeurs Miss Bau- baugh has been a clerk, laborer, bank cashier and sheepherder. She had put in the last twenty-one years in Las Animas county herding sh ep. Now 84 years old, she went to the hospital as a county charge. Her refusal to take a bath first a‘- tracted attention to her. When she was told that she must bathe, she made a request that it be withoutan attendant. Dr.T. J. Forhan, coun- ty physician, discovered the truth. She says that for fourteen years prior to the Civil war she worked in Hannibal, Mo., eight years as a dry goods clerk and six years as & tank eashicr. After the war she came west.

Jefferson City, Ovt., 10.—More but- ter was shipped trom the 114 coun- tles of Missourl in 1904 than from all of Europe, all of Canada, all of Central America and the West Indies and Bermuda combined.

Cruey Has Been Paroled. Jefferson City, Oct. 10.—Governor Folk released on parole A. F. Cruey, of Kansas City, who has been in the itentiary eince May 20 for illegal stration. Bishop T. F. Lillis, who had known Cruey from child- hood, and different employers for whom Cruey had worked, sent letters declaring him to be honest and faith- ul. Cruey is released on condition that he obey all the laws and serve the balance of his term if he violates his parole in any way. His offense was that, while registered as a voter in the precinct where he lived he regis tered in his own name in another precinct, but did not vote. He had two very small children at the time he was sentenced and a baby girl, now 4 monthe old, was born since he came to the penitentiary. Elect Senators By Direct Vote. Senator Stone, writing to the Columbia Herald, in respoase to an inquiry, says that he favors an amendment to the Federai Constitu tion requiring the election of Sena- tors by a direct vote, and adding that the democratic party iscommit- ted to that proposition. Until the constitution is amended, he suggests that the people of Missouri vote in their county primaries for their choice, and let the result be taken as an instruction to the representative of the county. The plan offered by Senator Stone is simple, practical and efficient, and until such time as an amendment fe adopted is recom- mended to the favorable considera- tion of Missouri democrats.—Glas- gow Missourian. Hanging Won't Hurt Him. Chicago, Oct. 11 —Robert Gardi- aer, who was placed on trial this morning charged with the murder of Agnee Morrizon, may escape the Jeath penalty because of a peculiar freak oi nature. Gardiner is suffering from ossifica- tion of the vertebrae and of the neck. His attorney, William Buckner, startled the court by anneuncing that the hardening process had pro ceeded so far that it would be impos- sible to bring any atrain upon Gard- iner’s neck sufficiently eevere to cause in Pittsburg, Pa. Pittsburg, Pa. Oct. 10—The Adams Express company has been robbed of $101,000, and by an em- ployee, officials assert. The story of the theft is told in the following offi cial statement ixsued tonight: “At 4:30 u’clock yesterday after- noon a bank of Pittsurg delivered to the Adams Express company at its office at 610 Wood street, Pitts- burg. a package of currency contain- ing $100,000. Of this amount $80,- 000 was in $100 bills, $10,000 in 50 bills, and the remainder, $10,- 000, in $5, $10 and $20 bills. The package containing this large sum of money was consigned to a bank in Cincinnati. “This package was received andre ceipted for by Edward George Cun liffe, who was then acting in the place of the regular money clerk. “Cunliffe left the office at the usual time last evening and this morning when he failed to report for duty, @ hurried examination was mado of his department and it was learned that about $1 000 of funds entrusted to his care were missing. General Agent Hiner of the Adams Express company immediately called in detec- tives and placed the matter{n their hands. Later developments brought to light the fact that in addition te the $1,000 missing the bank’s pack- age containing the $100,000 had not been recetved at the money for warding office at Union station, this city. “Inquirles made at his residence, 314 Lucerne street, West Fnd, Pitts burg, showed that Cunliffe arrived home at the customary time last evening and, after changing his clothes, bade his family goodbye, saying to his wife that he was golng out for the evening and nothing further has been heard from him.
