EXIT BOW MAN.

The Somewhat Stormy Career OF Frank
j. Bowman, the Noted st. Louis Law
yer, Ended at the Muzzie of a Shotgun
by Il. Maziere Chambers, an Unforiu-
nate Business Man, Upon Whose Be
longings Bowman was About to Levy.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 22-At Ills p. N. yes
terday B, M. Chambers shot aud instant
ly killed Frank j. Bowman at Ferguson,
Mo-, a suburban village seven miles
north of this city.
Chambers was, thirteen years ago. one
of the principal stockholders of tho st.
Louis Times, and he and Bowman have
been engaged in litigation ever since the
failure Of that paper in 1889.
At the hour above mentioned Bowman
called at the country residence of Cham
bers, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Charles Garrett, OF st. Leafs County.
The purpose of tho call was to levy on
Chambers life interest in his wife's
estate. or whatever other property they
could find
Chambers met the two at the gate, and
inquired their business. Being told of
lis nature, he exclaimed: "All right"
and entered the house. Bowman and
Garrett stood at the gate a moment
when Chambers reappeared with a
| double barreled shot gun in his hands.
Garrett, you get out of here, quick"
said he, and Garrett hurried away.
Turning to Bowman, Chambers said:
Snow, I'll give you three minutes to get
off these grounds"
Bowman did not move, and the next in
! stant Chambers raised the gun aud
poured the load into Bowman's breast.
The men were standing close together
and the full charge took effect and
Bowman fell dead without even groan.
Chambers then walked into his house
and waited for an officer to come and ar
rest him.
Bowman was one Of the best known
men in st. Louis. He practiced law here
| for many years, and moved to New York
about three years ago. He gained con-
| siderable notoriety over certain dOmes-
tic scandals, but principally in his long
| fight with the St Louis Bar Association,
| in which, after having been disbarred
| from practice by jealous rivals, he Sc
cured his reinstatement through the ac-
ton OF the Missouri Legislature.
| In 1915 he fought o duel with Major
John ". Edwards, managing editor Of
the st. Louis Times, who, like himself,
was man unknown to fear.
Chambers is also well-kuown m an
He was president of the Butchers and
Drovers' Bank, which failed several
years ago, and to satisfy the creditors OF
which he bankrupted himself, and per-
miited the use Of large amounts OF
money belonging to his wife and sister,
at their earnest solicitation. He after
wards bought the Times from Stilson
Hutchins, and sunk considerable money
| in the venture.
Mr.. Chambers was. arrested during the
afternoon by Sheriff Dosenbach and taken
to the County Jail at Clayton, where he
arrived about seven O'Clock, and where
the dead and horribly mutilated remains
of Mr.. Bowman soon after arrived in
| charge of Deputy Garrett.
| When seen in the sheriff's Office Mr..
| Chambers appeared calm but grave, and
kindly but positively refused to BE- inter-
viewed.

considerable can DC lost by delaying II
Tor a month or 30, as the closer to the
