.LABORER RUNS AMUCK
Stays Six Members of One Family
and Commits Suicide.
Tragedy On Iowa Farm Is Believed
to Have Been the Result Of
an EIopement.

Omaha, Jan. Ga farm laborer,
William Barnes, shot and killed six
members of the Wilbur Johnson family
on Holman's island, eight miles north
west Of Little Sioux, Iowa. He then
committed suicide.
The tragedy is believed to have had
it's origin in the elopement of Barnes
last fall with a daughter of Johnson.
The pair returned and partial
reconciliation was effected, but a
quarrel occurred, which resulted in
the shooting.
Barnes is said to have gone to Te-
kamah Iowa. after the quarrel and
purchased shotgun and shells. Re-
turning, he is believed to have fired
two shots through the window, killing
Mr.. and Mrs Johnson outright
Entering the house, he reloaded his
gun and shot the 8-year-old son of
Johnson and a younger daughter.
Then Barnes went to the home of
Mrs. Mabel Jones, a sister of John
son, and, going to her bedroom, shot
her as she lay in bed beside her baby
Mrs. Jones raised up as he fired and
Barnes shot her again, one charge
taking effect in her chest and the
other in her head
While the baby covered beside the
body of it's mother, Barnes deliber-
ately reloaded his gun, took aim at
the infant and fired
With six victims accounted for,
Barnes returned to the Johnson home
and entered the kitchen. He pulled
up a chair near the stove, reloaded
his shotgun, tied a string to the trig-
ger and attached the other end to
his big toe. Placing the muzzle be-
tween his eyes, he jerked his foot.
His body was found, still erect in. the
chair, with the top of his head blown
off.
