WILLIAMS BROS.
KILLED A BANDIT LEADER.
A Desperate Masquerading as a
Tramp Shot Down IN
SALOON.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 17.-Ce.
dar City, small town in Galloway
county, opposite this city, and the
terminus Of the south branch of the
Chicago & Alton railway, was the
scene of an exciting shooting affray
this afternoon, which resulted in the
death of the leader of band Of out
laws and bandits. Early this morn
ing citizens of the village observed
six men begging from door to door.
Four of them were dressed better
than ordinary tramps and hobos,
but no attention was paid to them
until this afternoon, when they con-
gregated at the saloon of Fred
Filing. After imbibing freely, they
became insulting and abusive to ev-
eryone who entered the place, es-
peciallv SO to Charles Gilbert of
Fulton, who came in, accompanied
by his brother.
Gilbert resented their language,
and the leader, drawing big revol-
yer, slipped out of the door and
fired five shots at Gilbert. None OF
them struck him. Gilbert then seized
shot gun that stood over the bai
and fired at his assailant The
charge killed him instantly. The
gang dispersed, but by this time
Marshal A. J. Trail and deputy
sheriff I. n. Holt reached the scene
and all of them were run down but
one man, who eluded them and go'
, away.
= When the men were searched th'
: officers discovered that they hae
more than ordinary buns and hobo
on their hands. On the body Of th
f dead man we're two more big Smltl

near Cedar City, 1t is certain that
the man who was killed by Gilbert
was the leader of the band, and it is
also sure that desperate PAIR of
criminals are under arrest. Import
ant Developments are expected to-
morrow, especially if the officers are
successful in turning up the plum
der supposed to have been planted.
Charles Gilbert, who killed the
leader, is young man, whose home
is at Fulton. He was not arrested
as the killing was clearly done IN
self defense, but he informed the
officers that he would hold himself
Ia readiness to answer any charge.
