Wm. e. Colsom Ktlled.

Word reached Keytesville yester-
day morning about IL O'Clock that
VIM. E. Colson, ofMissouri township,
had been shot and killed by his two
brothers-in-law, VIM. and Dorse Bee
ler.
The trouble grew out of an old
grudge arising from Colson's mis-
treatment of his wife, formerly a Miss
Beeler, who instituted proceedings
for divorce against her husband some
time last fall.
The Beeler brothers live about 1-2
mile north of Colson, and yesterday
morning both William and Dorse
Beeler started to Glasgow.
AS they were passing Colson's
premises Colson was out in the road
in front of his house, as was also
VIM. Harlow and John Lay, the lat
ter a negro.
The story told by Mr.. Harlow is
about as follows:
Just after the Beeler boys passed
Colson some seven or eight feet Col
son asked Dorse Beeler if he didn't
want another trace chain. Ut seems
that Dorse had got a trace chain
from Colson's premises some weeks
ago, which both of them claimed
Dorse replied that he had no objec-
ton to having another chain, when
Colson said: "You d-s- of
b-,you had better bring back that
chain" Beeler turned, got down off
of his horse and as he did so Colson
started to draw his pistol, but Beeler
was too quick for him and fired first.
Colson, however, succeeded in draw
ing his pistol, and fired two or three
times, but without effect. VIM. Bee
ler also took hand in the shooting.
1t does not seem quite clear as to
whether Colson was knocked down
by VIM. Beeler or fell from being
wounded.
When the battle was over Dorse
Beeler's pistol-a five-shooter-had
been emptied, and three chambers of
VIM. Beeler's weapon had been dis
charged.
Mr.. Harlow does not know whether
Colson shot two or three times
nor how many times he was shot, but
thinks as money as five or six times,
at least.
Death must have ensued in a very
few minutes.
John Lay pulled off Colson's boots
and put them under his head, and
then Harlow, Lay and the Beeler
brothers came to Keytesville, the
Two former for the coroner and the
two latter to give themselves up.
We 60 to press before learning the
result of the coroner's inquest.
Neither of the Beelers are married.
VIM. is 27 and Dorse % years ofage.
Colson was about 81 years old, and
has five children, three of whom are
grown.
AS Prosecuting Attorney Rucker
is out of town, a day for the prelimi-
nary examination of the Beeler boys
has not yet been set.

THE PHILADELPHIA FIRE.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2s.-The de-
struction of the Grand Central
theatre by fire last night proves to
have been far more terrible in its
results than was anticipated. Six
members of the "DeviPs Auction"
company lie dead beneath the fallen
walls of the building and nearly
three score people are in the hospitals
suffering from burns. Of the men
and boys in the hospital seven are in
such a serious condition that their
recovery is doubtful. All were
members of the audience. Besides
those who were seriously enough
hurt to remain in the hospital, fully
fifty others were treated for minor
injuries. The unfortunate members
of the company who lost their lives
are: Thomas Lorella, Grotesque and
his wife, Flora, ballet dancer; Vim,
centira Chitten, premier danseues;
one of the Chitten sisters, Miss
Fanchyn Conyers, juvenile, residence
Chicago; Miss Sarah Golden, balleit
dancer, residence, Chicago; William
L. Brooks, leading man of the com
pany, residence Philadelphia. The
injured in the hospitals who are
likely to die are all suffering from
burns about the face and head, and
from having inhaled the flames. In
addition to the serious condition of
the above, it is feared that many will
lose their eyesight as their burns are
all about the face. BY the light of
day, the destruction wrought by the
fire was more apparent and the des'
olation of the scene more terrible as
it was without the accompanying
grandeur given by the columns of
flames shooting skyward above the
tallest buildings. The ruin of the
Central theatre is complete, only the
front wall remaining standing. The
other walls have fallen and fill the
space they formerly encloed. Dis
