Rifle, the Bullet Killing Him Instantly.
DENOMIE NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH

ing Him in Face With Gin Bottle.

Keweenaw Bay was the scene
of one of the most Geld blooded
murders ever chronicled in Bar
county, Thursday evening, when
Henry Shelafoe shot and instant
ly killed his father.
The shooting took place in An
tome Shosa's saloon. : Father,
son and four others were there
drinking. Henry had hole in
his money pocket, with the re-
suit that coin kept falling to the
floor. When Henry complained
of losing some money, Martin
Conway, one of those present,
advised him to look in his socks.
This angered Shelafoe and he
started a row with Conway. The
bartender, Frank Denomie, in
terfered, and finally got Shela-
foe out of the saloon. Shelafoe
then went to his home, which is
located on Prosper LaBarge's
farm, one-half mile from the sa-
loon, where he procured a rifle
and started back. In the saloon
he was met by his father, who
tried to pacify him and get the
weapon away. Henry backed to
rear of the room, covering those
present and followed by his faith
er. When near the pool table,
Henry fired, the bullet entering
his fathers mouth and coming
out under his left arm. The gun
was an 8 m. m. Mauser.
After killing his father, Shela-
foe went after Frank Denomie,
the only one present after the
murder. Denomie ducked under
the bar for protection and when
he reached the end of the bar he
grasped a gin bottle and hit
