Old KILLED IN

William Stanton Shot Near
McKinnonviTle by w.
K. Humphreys.
OLD MAN SAID HE
WAS HUNTING WIFE
Humphreys Said Stanton
Tried to Shoot Him While
at Work in the Woods.

William Stanton, about Y years of
age, was shot and killed late Friday
afternoon by w. K. Humphreys. The
shooting occurred about two miles
from McKinnonville and the coroner's
jury returned verdict of justifable
homicide.
Deputy Sheriff Bowman came to
the city yesterday and the first de-
tails of the shooting became known.
The deputy accompanied Justice Of
the Peace Wilder from Moline to the
scene of the shooting to hold the cor
oner's inquest. The jury, the deputy
stated, first reached verdict holding
Humphreys to the grand jury, but
later charged the verdict to justifable
homicide.
According to the people residing
around McKinnonville the aged Stan

for some time looking for his wife
and children 1t appears that his
wife lived in the vicinity and that

years, and they had separated some
time since.
Old man Stanton had small single
barrel shot gun, which he carried
with him and Friday afternoon he
went into the woods, where Humph-
reys was at work. Humphreys and
several others said Stanton had
threatened to shoot him on sight, but
Stanton, it was stated, had passed
Humphreys on numerous occasions
but had made no such attempt.
Friday afternoon, according to tes-
timony before the coroner, Stanton
went into the woods and Humphreys
claimed that the aged man fired at
him, but missed. The shot, he said,
entered a tree. Humphreys then
rushed on the old man, as the latter
had no further charges in the gun,
and wrested it from his grasp.
Stanton is then alleged to have
said he had another gun and would go
home and get it, whereupon Humph-
reys shot and killed him.
When Deputy Bowman and others
reached the scene the body of the
aged man was found lying in the
woods. That was about o'clock at
night. In the right hand of the old
man was found a handkerchief, to
which he still held in death, while ir

ELECTION FOR
BONDS CALLED
BY CO. BOARD
Resolution is Adopted by
Commissioners Ordering
a Special Election.
VOTE ON $1,000, 900
BOND ISSUE FEB. l
Bonds Will Be for Period of
40 Years and Bear In
terest at AZ Per Cent.

A special election to vote on a bond
issue of $1,00O,OO0 was last night
called by the board of county COM
missioners for February 1. The
money realized from this sale, if the
proposition is approved by MAORI
ty of the property owners Of the
county, viii be used in building
system of hard surface highways ana
concrete and steel bridges. Chairman
Barrineau presided and all commits
sioners were present.
The board at a meeting last week
considered the matter of adopting a
better and more complete system Of
road building and at that time dis
cussed the advisability of half mil
lion dollar bond issue, but it was
found on investigation that such an
amount would be insufficient and that
million would be necessary to build
hard surface roads throughout the
country, as well as to provide con-
crete and steel bridges in the place of
the present wooden structures. At
the meeting last night the matter was
discussed and determination reached
to call an election on February 1, 70
approve million dollar issue for a
system of hard surface highways.
The members of the board, after
years of experience with the present
system of road building, reached the
conclusion that a more improved
method would have to be adopted if
the county ever is to have good hogh-
the county ever is to have good high
isfactory in every respect, the bridges
constant source of annoyance and
: expense and the entire system OBJ
solete. To start properly and give
the county what other progressive
counties are securing it was found
necessary to issue bonds. Il is be-
lieved this will be far cheaper in the
end than the present costly upkeep
system.
The commissioners in fixing the
date so far distant did so that every
person can have plenty of opportuni-
ty of investigating the proposition.
The board believes that with the prop
er consideration every taxpayer of
the county, no matter how skeptical
he might be, will be convinced that
the million dollar bond issue is the
best for all concerned.
CALL FOR ELECTION.

ted calling the election:

The plans call not only for steel
frames, with suitable coverings, but
concrete floors and runways. They
will be near the edge Of the beach, so
the machine can be placed in the
hangers without inconvenience and

been in use for the past year.
The work will be the first perma-
