A MURDER OVER TELEPHONE.
Official of Lowell, Mass, Heard
Screams, Pistol Shot and
Falling Body.

Lowell, Mass-Hearing a muruer
over telephone was the surprising
experience of Bernard J. Gately, a
constable, who heard the screams and
the shot when Mrs. Mary A. Nc
Bride, a milliner, was fatally attacked
In her Office.
In her millinery shop at No. 229
DuttOn street, before her helpless
employees, Mrs. Mcbride was shot
down by a man, who rushed in, fired
a revolver at her and escaped. The
woman, at the ST. John Hospital, re-
gained consciousness long enough to
say:-"John Kelley shot me-"
The constable who had the re-
markable experience was some dis
lance away at his Office in the Cen
trail Building.
He called the milliner by telephone
regarding legal matter. The voice
at the other end of the wire an
swered: This is Mrs. Mcbride, and
| refer you to my attorney, Daniel J.
Donahue"
Then the constable heard a scuf-
file and loud cries, "My God, don't
shoot mel Don't shoot mel"
Then he heard clearly over the tel
ephone a revolver shot, followed by
woman's moaning, which grew faint
er, until all was still.
Gately was paralyzed for a moment
at the unusual sounds over the wire,
but gathering his senses, rushed for
the millinery store.
He found Mrs. Mcbride lying I'M
conscious with an ugly wound over
her right eye.
In one corner was Miss Vanasse,
the milliner's assistant, half fainting
from the experience and moaning
that Mrs. Mcbride had been killed.
The assistant explained that the
shooting was done by John Kelley,
who was madly in love with the mar
ried woman.
Kelley was found near the scene
OF the shooting and was arrested
charged with attempt to murder.

ENCOURAGING FACTS
THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE SHOULD
READ THEM.

The other day the writer was in tho
Office of the Canadian Government at
st. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
of the building were signs to the effect
that Aomesteads Of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers. and in
the windows Were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and yege-
tables, which he was told were grown
In Western Canada. This could be
readily believed for In no other coun.
try on the Continent would 1t be pos
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty We'll advised
that in the growing Of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables as
well the Provinces OF Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done In the climate of country nos.
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that 1t was possible to grow vege.
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But 1t was
the case. And apples too. Not of
course the splendid fruit grown In
countries more congenial to such cul.

the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why, we thought everything was
frozen up there. and these turnips,
cabbages, cauliflowers, beets, man.
colds, pumpkins, and squashes are
away ahead of anything we ever saw
grow" That is the story everywhere.
Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them q
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can.
