KILLED WHILE ASLEEP
A FAMILY IN POLAND. FARMER'S TERRIBLE CRIME. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) WARSAW, December 4. (Received Dec. 4, at 10 p.m.) Enraged because his relatives were opposed to his marrying a German girl, a young Polish farmer who was living at Kattewitz killed six out of seven members of his family with an axe while they were sleeping. He then cleaned the weapon and went to a pi’blic-housc, where, after ordering a drink, he casually mentioned that he had killed the family. Everyone thought he was joking, and the bodies were only next morning. The farmer has been arrested.
