pert electrician for the Springfield elec-

for self-defense into Alfred and Frank
blanchard, at his home yesterday after
noon. The Blanchards are brothers Of
the young lady TO whom Niles has been
attentive and trouble had been caused
between them.

death and warned them of, but to no
effect, and as they sprang for him the
second time be fired three shots, all
taking effect.
After the shooting Niles notified By

Lawrence and a deputy sheriff, who came
and arrested him.

either Of the brothers will prove fatal.
Andrew was shot in the abdomen, the
bullet passing into his thigh, while Frank
received bullet in each leg. Accord
ing to the story of Niles, the Ban-
chards, who were APPARENTLY under the
influence of liquor, entered the house

be relinquished.
General Montalro, who is acting sec

President last night said that at present
there was no intention to issue an
amnesty Font Sterling, secretary OF
The treasury, said the matter was not
Icing seriously considered and other
