MANIAC AMOK

NINE PEOPLE KILLED

SEVERAL WOUNDED

BARCELONA, Monday.

An astounding case of wholesale murder has occurred in 'I'aragon. Jose Marimon, 26, enticed children to ac-

company him and watch him shoot

pigeons. Instead he shot the children and hid their bodies in a loft. and then running madly through the farm shot women and wounded a labourer and

others who ran up.

Marimon is still at large. The village people and police are in pursuit. Five boys, three little girls, and a woman were killed and several men and women were wounded.
