After Disabling Their Parents the
Frenzied Man Deliberately Fires on
Little Girls, Then Turns the Weapon
on Himself When Pursued.

ing the other. He then re-entered the
schoolhouse, fatally wounded two lit

and shot the child Of another.
Toews then fed, but neighbors pur-
sued him. and when driven to bay he
shot himself with the last bullet left
in his revolver.
Altoona Is in the center Of a Men
MONTE settlement, most of the mem
bers Of which are prosperous farmers.
Toews was a Mennonite, but for
some time there had been friction be.
tween him and other members of the
community, complaint having been
made concerning the management Of
the school.
The three members of the board Of
trustees-John HILBERT, Abraham
Remset and Peter Kebler-expressed
dissatisfaction with the work of the
teacher. and there had been hard
feeling between them and Toews.

self, leaving his pupils at work in the
building.
The trustees referred to the com
plants that had been made to them.
and the teacher attempted to defend
himself from the accusations made.
AS the talk progressed Toews became
angry, and there was loud talk and
hard words.
During the quarrel he suddenly drew
his revolver and aimed at Remset The
bullet took effect in the trustees side.
and he fell to the ground, fatally
wounded. Hiebert was then shot in
the side. He also was mortally
wounded. The two shots were fred
almost at one time, and none of the
men had time to move.

Kebler, who had stood little farth-
er of than the others, sprang for
ward when the shots were fired and
attempted to wrest the weapon from
the frenzied man. He was successful
in disturbing the aim of the weapon.
and as it was discharged he was shot
IN the hand, the bullet breaking his
fingers and forcing him to release his
hold of Toews.
Toews then sprang into the school
room determined to complete his re-
venge. Among the pupils were two lit
tie daughters of Kebler. aged respect

through the body and the 11-year-old
