SHOT DOWN AS WEDDING NEARs
Maniac Riddles Woman as She Buys
Furniture With Fance.

Houghton, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Within
an hour of her wedding Miss Ida
Holms was shot down this afternoon
by a demented man, while walking
along the street with her fiance, Her.
man Johnson. The young woman will
probably die.
Johnson and Miss Holms came from
Baraga to be married. They spent
the early part of the afternoon buying
household furniture and furnishings
They had just come from dry goods
store when a man, brandishing a re-
volver, suddenly rushed up to Miss
Holms and began firing. Johnson
made a brave attempt to throw the
man down but before he could be dis
armed Miss Holms fell, riddled with
bullets. The demented man was found
to be Alexander Konola.
Miss Holms was removed to a hos
pital, where it is said she will prob
ably die, Johnson is grief-stricken.
Konola did not know the girl he
shot, according to persons acquainted
with both. He has lived here ter
years and had a wife and three chill
dren. His wife deserted him some
time ago and he has been looking fol
her. 1t is thought he mistook Miss
Holms for his wife.
