Ocala, Fla, April 23.-Last night about
2 o'clock, without provocation or cause,
C. Henry Suber shot and killed two men,
and his brother, BILL shot and wounded
a third. Leopoldo Rinone and a. L. Odol-
90 are the dead men, and Antonio Toffa-
letti is the wounded man. The latter is
one of the proprietors of the store in
which the shooting took place, at NIarti
City. The Subers went into the store
and asked for oysters, which were given
them. While they were eating the vic
Tins walked in, conversing in Italian,
their native language.
Henry Subers wanted to know why
they did not talk English, and if they
were talking about him. Assured to the
contrary, he said he would teach them
how, and fired two shots into one and
one into the other, one dying instantly,
the other living an hour. Toffoletu then
seized the muzzle of Henry Subers' pistol
and VIII Suber shot him in the neck,
the ball passing out of his mouth.
The murdererS then cody walked out
of the store and have not been seen
since. 1t was reported last night that
the desperadoes took Joseph Naughans S
horses and fed, but this is not correct
Every effort has been made by Sheriff
Hodge to find the murderers, but so far
without avail.
Henry Suber is the man who about six
weeks ago lost his wife in wreck near
Scotland, Ca, on the Southern railway
and compromised with the company for
5000. His record is that of a. desperate.
Ten years ago he shot Anthony May, a
negro policeman Of Ocala, through the
head, but, strange to say, May survived.
Three years ago he was accused OF kill
ing a man in Orange county and fed
from the state, being heard of later in
Arkansas, where he killed another person
and last fall he committed a murder in
Texas, where he is now wanted for muir
der.
The sheriff has offered a liberal re-
ward for the arrest of Subers. Intense
feeling prevails against the murderers,
and If caught quick shift would be made
of them. During yesterday afternoon
Henry Suber, who had SIoney in the
closed National Bank, threatened to kill
Mr.. Agnew if he did not give him his
money.
