CHICAGO.

News reached Lexington Tuesday
afternoon that William II. Means,
late OF near Mayview, had shot and
killed, at Henrietta, Indian Terri
tory, his niece, Miss Lydia Means,
The woman was shot twice-one shot
taking effect in the head and one in
the body. A shotgun was used. The
tragedy took place 10 a two room
cottage which Means had purchased,
about half past two O'Clock Tuesday
morning. Means himself reported
the killing TO the officials some time
during the forenoon and the body was
found robed in night clothing. From
the nature Of the wounds death was
evidently instantaneous. Means
would not talk of the tragedy only to
admit that be fred The shots.
William H. Means was well known
10 Lexington and was a brother 70
James Means, who is. now operating
the valuable Means farm near May
view, worth probably $40, 900.
Up to last March the two brothers,
William III. and James lived together,
but at that time they disagreed and
there was some talk of investigating
the mental condition OF the man who
did the shooting. They had brought
from Kentucky their niece, Mis-:
Lydia Means, and when the two
brothers disagreed William H. Means
presented the woman, who was about
95 years of age, with a check fol
$1,000.
About the middle of March, the
business Of the two brothers having
been settled up, W. H. Means drew
his money from the Commercial bank
