Columbus, O., October 30-William
S. Ide was snot and killed to-day by
John Smith. Ide is a banker and broth
| or of Commander Ide, U. S. n. Smith
was arrested.
Smith is an English coachman, 65
ears Of age, who has worked for Will
am A. Neil eleven years, and says
e owed him SLIGO. Ide's extensive
operty is in the hands of a receiver.
Smith says he asked Ide for the
honey and Ide said that he would pay
when he got ready and attempted to
bass into the court house. Smith shot
him in the side and then in the head,
Ide falling dead in the Auditors Office.
Smith says he was sane and sober, but
exasperated.
Ide was Of an old family here, his
mother being a Sullivant, daughter of
one of the pioneers. Death came so
suddenly he did not utter word.
Witnesses state that the first they
cav was the entering form of Mr.. Ide
ct the north entrance of the court
house. He was being followed by an
excited individual, who was rapidly
emptying the contents of a revolver
towards the retreating banker.
Mr.. Ide continued retreating until he
reached the door of the Auditors Of
fee, where he fell dead.
AS soon as he saw that his victim
had fallen to the floor the assailant
turned about and disappeared through
the outside entrance. The same in
slant County Auditor Halliday and 9TH
ers in the office, being attracted by the
shots, hurried to the scene Mr.. Halli-
day passed the PROSTATE form Of Mr.
Ide and FASTENED after the murderer. A
policeman captured Smith, but not until
after Smith had made desperate effort
to put ball through his own brain.
The man gave little resistance when
he found that his attempt to add sui
eide to the tragedy had failed, and was
hurriedly taken to the police station.
Scarcely had the incident transpired
when it was discovered that Michael
Hard, who resides at Sc West Mound
street. had also been shot. This gen.
tleman happened to be standing just
inside the court house when the tragedy
occurred and was wounded in the back
by one of the bullets from the MUIR
derers pistol. He was quickly removed
i to his home.
Probably no coachman in the city
was better known than Smith For

ing the clothes from children's backs.
The three-year-old daughter of John
Svensson. of Point Breeze avenue and
Federal street, was dressed last evening
and given few pennies to spend at a
nearby candy store. Later two small
boys took her to the Seventeenth dis
trict police station with very little

They had found her crying at Twen-
tieth street and Washington avenue.
The child could only remember hav-

She then gave the child slap and told
her to go home. The child's mother
became historical at the sight of her
child in its scanty attire and is now
said to be in precarious condition.

Recently the letters ~ b. have

has been much speculation con
corning the meaning of these
letters among our prominent
citizens. Some said they were The
initial letters OF John Bull, others
contended that they stood for
John Barlecorn and u few local
wags asserted that they meant
John Bochpich or Jack Bisland.
All were AS far wrong, however,
as the man was who thought he
had discovered the fellow who
struck Billy Paterson.
The writer solved the mystery
ina nOtef way. Sitting by the
