A Father Shoots ais Son,

ADA, Mich, April M.-Nicholas Benner, an
aged man and farmer living in the town of
Winchester, this county, shot and killed his
son John, aged twenty-three, this morning.
The boy had been out in the fields seeding
and came to the house to get a drink of water.
As he came near the house the old man put
his head out Of the up stairs window and told
the boy not to come one step nearer the house
or he would kill him. The boy said he wanted
drink of water, and the old man allowed him
to come in. After getting into the house
he thought he would go up stairs and try and
quiet the old man. As he started up the
stairs the old man came to the head of the
stairs and pointing the gun at the boy told
him not to come up or he would shoot him.
The boy thought the cid man would not shoot
and kept going up step by step, at the same
just as he reached the top step the old man
shot off the gun with the above result. Some
neighbors heard the report and came to the
house. John Roech, the first man who
reached the house, found the boy dead. The
only persons in the house at the time of the
shooting were Mrs. Benner and her daughter.
They say that they had been having trouble
with the old man before the boy came in from
the field. The old man has acted very queer
for the last three or four years, and the peo-
pie in his neighbothood and in this city have
thought for some time past that he was in
sane. Coroner F. 7. Koyl has just returned
from the scene Of the murder, and says that
the boy was shot with charge of nine buck
shot, taking effect in the abdomen three inches
to the right and one inch below the naval.
Sheriff Lee arrested Benner and brought him
to town tonight. The old man talks great
deal and says that he sorry he is shot the boy,
but that he thinks he served him right.

Paul and some Mexican soldiers. The robbers
started from Chihuahua for STEMS pass, 400
miles away, and after robbing the train were
returning when Paul intercepted them on
Mexican soil. They took refuge in Mexican
abode. There the shooting through the heart
of Mexican soldier, who tried to force his
way into the house, caused the alcade to order
the robbers to be killed, and as the aoode was
full of women and children, tunnel was dug
under the house and they were rescued. As
they fed robber fired on them and wounded

kept up their fire through the door and killed
Hart, whose body was found afterward in the
building. johnson had the alternative of
being roasted or shot, and he suffered the
latter. He suddenly threw open the door,
and rushed out with a revolver In each hand,
to meet with voley from the sheriff and his
guards. johnson fell upon his face, but
raised himself on his elbows and fired both
pistols. In an instant he was riddled with
bullets. Sheriff Paul searched Johnson's
body and found $500 and some jewellery that
had been taken from the express car. When
he got to Harris body he found poor picking.
The soldiers had got there first.
