THE MOSSING OBEGONIABTT MONDAY, MARCH 13, 190o. LD WITH RAGE Denver Teamster Kills Neighbor's Family. SETS FIRE TO THE HOUSE Fires Fusillade From His Bar ricaded Home. POLICE OFFICERS WOUNDED Sheriff's Men Called In, and Steady Attack Is Kepi-Up Until the Mur- derer Is Brought. Down by a Chance Bullet. DENVER, March 12. Had with rage because of his defeat in a lawsuit, in which the man he pronounced as his bitterest enemy had been victorious, and swearing: von seance against him self and his entire family, George Schlstler, a teamster, armed himself with & rifle today, And when the smoke of battle had cleared away three per sons were dead, one missing and throe others lay wounded, two, at least, dan gerously. The dead are: X. FILU MRS. K. FILL. GEORGE SCHISTLER. The missing: A child of the .Fills. "Wounded: Dr. Frank Dulin, police surgeon. Captain "William Bohanna, acting Chief of Police. Mike Kelly. The wife of George Schlstler is pros trated over the affair and may die from the shock. ' Schlstler had brooded over his troub les with the Fill family, who were im mediate neighbors, and announced to day that he would even up matters. Taking a rifle of improved pattern and buckling on a belt of smokel.ess car tridges, he started for the Fill home. Husband and Wife Shot Down. Fill saw him approaching and heard his muffled threats. He tried to avoid him by entering the house, but Shistler sent a bullet into his brain with the accuracy of a marksman, and Fill fell dead. Mrs. Fill rushed to her husband's side and received a bullet from Schist ler'a .rifle, fired with unerring aim. She. too, fell dead beside the lifeless body of her husband. Not content with the fullness of his vengeance, Schlstler then set Are to the Fill home, which was destroyed, and It is thought a. son of the Fills lost his life in the fire. "After satisfying him self that the flames would perform their mission, Schlstler returned to his own home and barricaded himself in side. In the meantime other neighbor's at tracted by the sound of the firing, ap peared on the scene, but quickly re treated when bullets began falling around them. A telephone message was sent to Police Headquarters, and an ambulance with Police Surgeon Dulin, Captain Bohanna and three officers hur ried to the scene. Officers Within Deadly Range. The officers were directed to the Fill home by neighbors who had witnessed the killing, and they started unhesi tatingly in the direction of the house. In doing so they were compelled to come within range of Schistler's rifle. A volley of bullets rained around them suddenly, and Dulin and Bohanna fell to the floor of the ambulance. The driver stopped his horses, but another shot from the house dropped one of the animals to the ground. With the assistance of spectators, the wounded men were taken from the ambulance and conveyed to a hospital, whore their wounds were dressed. Du lin was shot three times, once in each leg and another time in the left thigh. His condition is critical. Bohanna re reived a bullet in the leg. but is not dangerously hurt. A call for reinforcements brought all the available men from police head quarters and the Sheriff's office, and a consultation was held lor the purpose of formulating a plan to capture the madman. Firing squads were stationed In nearby houses, and a larger force was" placed in a portable fort, made of baled hay piled upon a hay wagon. Use Movable Hay Fort. During the preliminary arrangements Schlstler kept up a continuous fire in all directions, which was returned, and hundreds of shots were exchanged. It was . during this shooting that Kelly received his wound. Finally fewer shots were heard to explode in the di rection of the Schlstler house, and the hay wagon fort was started toward the house, proceeding cautiously and with out firing. The attacking party expected a fusillade any moment, and when they reached the front gate without a shot being fired, one of the officers stepped out into view, thinking to draw the fire of Schlstler, If be were still alive, He was agreeably disappointed, and with a rush the officers charged the house and battered down the door. ot a sound came from Inside, and, entering, they found Schlstler lying upon a. bed, bleeding from several wounds and breathing his last He died soon afterward. It is not known whether he was hit by bullets from the weapons of the pursuing party or com mitted suicide. Wife May Die of Shock. Mrs. Schlstler was away from home when her husband started on bis venge ful mission, and when told of the af fair fell prostrated. It is thought she will die from the shock. During tho several hours battle with -the murderer many people were at tracted to the scene, though It is lo cated In an outlying suburb, and. Mayor Spber and Police Commissioner Hewitt Erected the work of the police to a ccr Mn extent. TO "THE VENT THE GRIP LtxmBrtttno Quinine, worid-riS Cold and rrtir reused j; 'retaort the cauw.

"No," replied the husband, "not if I could help it" A great many people do many things because they cannot help it.
