Minneapolis drivers Of benzine bug
gies had best beware of the con
stabulary of Bloomington. The
hawkshaws of the suburbs are timing
the stretch Of road from Benson s
pump to Browns corner and collecting
evidence. The purpose is obvious.
The state law permits country speed
of twenty-five miles an hour. The
chuffers, so Bloomington folk say, have
paralyzer carts thru Bloomington at
such a high speed that the odor Of
the burned gasolene comes along twenty
minutes after Hi Johnson's hens have
thought it all over and descended from
the roof of the barn.
Bloomington folk do not object to
the automobile or propose to stand in
the path of progress-especially if
progress is cutting thru the country
speeded up to fifty miles an hour.
Bloomington citizens do not fear death,
being a just people, but they do object
to being shunted into the unknown on
the cowcatcher Of hiss wagon.
The offenders are not unknown in
Bloomington and a careful watch and
record of infractions Of the law is being
kept. It is averred that some of the
Minneapolis chauffeurs who crawl about

TERRIBLE CRIME OF WILLIAM

After the Shooting, the Man Tells a

Son 90 with Him.

John Kellar, the 16-year-old boy
whom William Williams shot at the
latter's home, Reid court, st. Paul,
last evening, died at the city hospital
this morning, and Williams, who gave
himself up to the police Immediately
after the shooting, must answer the
charge of murder. The case is appar
emily shocking instance Of masculine
degeneracy. ,.&s 'r-... a..

who. was also shot by Williams, suffers

she will recover. u.s.. F.. ..

have quizzed him, but he says that he
doesn t know why he did it. .. a
Williams formerly lived at the KEEL
lar home: For several months he has
worked at his trade, that of steam
filter, in Winnipeg. ..
Last evening he went to the Kellar
home and asked for lodgings. He was
told that. there was no spare room then.
He began to plead with Mrs. Kellar to
permit her boy to return to Winnipeg
with him. She refused. He became
more insistent, and she became fright
ened.
She was thinking Of calling for help
when the man, without warning,
whipped a gun from his pocket and
shot the boy, who was standing by
listening to the hot argument. Two
shots entered the lad IS head. Then the
man turned the gun towards the moth
er, and while she pleaded for mercy,
he took deliberate aim and fired.
This done, the man descended the
stairs to the fiat below and pounded on
the door Of Mrs. John Kline. She had
heard the shots and came trembling to
the door,, Williams asked her to run
upstairs and look after Mrs. Kellar and
John. Then he went to the central po-
lice station and surrendered himself.
Mrs. Kline could do little for the
wounded mother and son, 50 she rushed
out and summoned a patrol wagon, in
which they were taken to the city hos
pital. This forenoon the county attor-
ney took Mrs. Kellar's statement, fear
ing her wound may prove fatal.
It has been learned that Williams,
Will working in. st. James about two
weeks ago, received letter from the
Kellar boy telling him that if he would
come to st. Paul they would 90 to Win
nipeg together. Presumably, it was in
answer to this letter that Williams
called last night, but he declares he had
no intention Of shooting anybody.
