Shoots Her Father
and is Cheered bv Crowd.

Millville, N. j., July 16.-There is
no sympathy here for Edward POLKA
mus, of belmont, who is dying from
two bullet wounds; but his daughter,
Helen, who fired the shots last night,
is cheered by every man and woman
in town.
She shot him when, enraged, he
threatened to kill his family, includ-
ing bedridden wife and three days
old baby. Love drove the girl to the
act. She fred as he was bent on
murder and then she saved her father
from lynching even in his wounded
and helpless condition, at the hands
of the men of the village. She met
the would-be avengers face to face
and pleaded with them.
He cannotdo any harm now," she
said. "Please leave him for God to
take care Of" and Miss Helen won
out.
The villagers went away. And not
a man suggests putting Helen in jail
for her act. She gave herself up to
Justice Beckley, but he sent her away
on her own recognizance, though
prominent citizens offered bail in any
amount if needed.
Polhamus is said to have brooded
over family trouble. He took to drink
and while drunk is alleged, to have
made public threat to kill his family
and himself and to end his troubles.
