Moonshiner Barricades
Himself After Killing
Two Men
MINISTER AN ONLOOKER
Seeking Color for Story
When He Is Shoe
Down
tBy Associated Preasi

Albany, Oregon, June 22.-Three
bodies torn by gunshot wounds were
brought here today. They were
those of Rev. Roy Healy, pastor of
the First Christian church of AL
bany; Sheriff C. NJ. Kendall, of Linn
county, and Dave NJ. West, 7O-year-
old rancher and trapper. Their deaths
were the result of raid on Vests
moonshine still yesterday by Sheriff
Kendall, accompanied by the Rev.
Mr.. Healy. The sheriff and minister
were shot and killed instantly by the
aged rancher, who, after barricad-
ing himself in his house and holding
off a posse for hours, crept from the
building when night came and in his
barn ended the episode by blowing
off the top of his head with his rifle.
The killings occurred at $3.50
o'clock and until the body of West
was found in the barn, the bodies of
his two victims lay where they fell
inside the West yard, members of
the posse fearing to enter the prem
ises and remove them.
Threatened All With Death.
West threatened anyone with
death who should attempt to ap-
proach, except the coroner, who, he
said, could remove the bodies of the
men he had killed. For fear, how
ever, that West might mistake the
for a would-be eaptor, no eff
fort was made. West shot and killed
both Kendall and Healy without
warning while they We're perhaps so
yards from him. He fired only
twice.
Sheriff Kendall, armed with a |
search warrant, left Albany yester-
day for the West ranch, accompa-
MED by Rev. Mr., Healy, who desired |
to see raid on a still to obtain ma
terial for story which he was in
tending to write. The minister went |
merely as a spectator.
After the shooting West returned |
20 the house and sat down in chair
With the rifle between his knees.
AS long as it remained daylight |
le barricaded himself in mis- house,
md defied the possemen to capture
lin, but when night fell he bade his
wife, who had remained with him,
arewell, telling her to go away
where harm would not befall her.
"This is the last good-by," he said,
IS he kissed her and showed her
trough the door of the house. Short
y afterward he reached the barn,
there he killed himself.

(By Associated Preaal

London, June 22.-Field Marshal
Sir Henry Hughes Wilson was shot
and killed just outside his house on
Eaton square, London, this after
noon.
General Wilson was chief of the
imperial staff, and one of the out
standing figures of the world war.
He delivered speech this morning
in connection with the unveiling of a
war memorial. He had apparently
just returned home when the trag-
edy occurred.
A few months ago General Wilson
accepted the post of military advisor
TO the Ulster government and made
frequent visits to Ulster.
The Central News says that Gen
eral Wilson was stepping from his
automobile when two men suddenly
appeared and opened fire with pis-
tolls. He was struck by three bull
lets and dies almost Immediately.
The death of General Wilson was
announced in the house of commons
by Austin Chamberlain, the govern
ment leader.
Eye witnesses said that General
Wilson was crossing the pavement
when the first shot was fired. He
staggered and nearly fell and was
reeling when the second and third
bullets struck him. Four policemen
rushed up and the assassins turned
the weapons on the officers, two of
whom were seriously wounded.
Another witness said, that one of
the assassins attempted suicide,
shooting himself when capture SEEM
ID near, and inflictiug serious injury
10 himself, Mr.. Chamberlain told the
house of commons that the assassins
we're arrested.
The names, of the nen arrested
we're given as Connolly and McBrien.
General Wilson had been under po-
ice protection for some time, as the 1
authorities had reason to believe an
tempt would be made on his life.
Policemen were actually at the door
/ his residence when the assailants
and opened fire.

Band Concert ISIS
Escape Mosquitoes
Following Rains

Responsive to the requests of ma
ny Paiatka music lovers, Director
Biddy Shearouse has advanced the
-FOUR of tonight's band concert to 7:15
because it is said, of the visitation
on PaIatka of contrary and conflict
ing night winds, and consequent
sWarms of blind mosquitoes.
Biddy says the pests have been call
ed blind mosquitoes, but he is not
convinced such an appellation is cor
rect as a mosquito that don't bite is no
mosquito at all, and no mosquito at
all is ever blind, but since there is no
Genying that whatever they are they
90 appear Immediately after sunset,
the concert will be held prior to their
arrival.
An effort will be made, it is prom
ised TO nave more benches on the
court house lawn tonight for the COM
fort Of the ever increasing numbers
Of interested Palatkans attending
ths weekly concert. The programme
will be Of the usual standard, and di-
Mr.. Shearouse states,
with surprise solo.

OIL PUMPING EQUIPMENT BEING INSTALLED

J. J. Keenan of the Alaska Mines Corporation and o. S. Weaver of the Power Company have begun in stalling the necessary equipment re- lative to the proposed pumping of crude oil from the steamer Victoria and other boats having surplus oil supply. A pump will be placed under the Lighterage dock with pipe connections running to the Power Company Tanks and other tanks to be constructed for the winters sup ply of local crude oil. Another pump will be placed in readiness tc use on the boats from which the oil will be pumped to an oil lighter and brought ashore. The available supply will be entirely contingent upon the amount that can be spared by the boats arriving in the Nome harbor. As there will be no resu- lar oil boat for Nome our next win ter's supply will have to be obtained from the surplus carried by the visiting boats. The added cost of obtaining this oil will be slightly in advance of the present price but not so high as to make it prohibitive. The heating plant. Power company. Nome school. North Pole Bakery and some other small users will in this manner be protected against a shortage that some time ago seemed imminent.
