SEATTLE. Wash., May . 12. In a

son of C. B. Bussell, a millionaire land
owner of this city, shot and killed Jo-
BY WOMAN 17011 FIRST TIME
I ;
seph Bonner, manager of the Monte
Carlo saloon and gambling-house, just
before dawn today, and was himself
wounded by Patrolman Volk, who was
attracted to the scene by the shots.
Young Bussell, who Is a crank on the
anti-vice question, suddenly appeared
at the Monte Carlo, which is located on
lower Fifth avenue. Without a word
of warning he opened fire upon Bonner
with the rifle he carried. In all, he
fired five shots at the saloonkeeper,
four of them taking effect. Two bul
lets struck the crazed crusader's vic
tim in the back, one penetrated the
abdomen and the fourth lodged in the
right elbow.
Although mortally wounded, Bonner
managed to draw his revolver, which
he emptied without effect.
Policeman Shoots.
As Bussell turned to the door. Pa
trolman Volk was standing there. The
young man aimed his gun at the po
liceman and pulled the trigger, but
there was no response from the weap
on; all the lead had been expended.
Volk lired at Bussell, wounding him
in the neck, but not fatally. Bonner,
still alive, was taken to the hospital
with young Bussell, who was under
arrest. Bonner lived but a short
time. In an ante-mortem statement,
Bonner said he had never seen Bussell
before.
Patrolman Volk had seen Bussell en
ter the alley behind the saloon, carry
ing a rifle. He called him to stop,
but Bussell ran and disappeared in
the saloon.
Bussell was perfectly sober at the
time of the shooting. At the hospital,
the police found him wearing a belt
full of cartridges.
C. B. Bussell, father of Wallace A.
Bussell, said that he will clear the
young man of responsibility for his
acts.
Elder Bussell Rich.
The elder Bussell is one of the rich
est men in Seattle owning much tide
land property and Wallace is his only
child. The father said today that
he had been dreading a violent
act toy the youth and had been plan
ning to send him to Central Oregon in
two weeks, where he hoped rough out
door life would Improve his mental
condition. Mr. Bussell continued:
"For some time my son's mind has
dwelt on the vice and crime to be
found in the cities and he has read
every scrap of information furnished
by the magazines. He has recently
associated himself with a secret so
ciety whose purpose is to rid Seatt.e
of vice. He has paid hundreds of
dollars to this society and has prom
ised thousands more. He has been
very bitter toward the present co
administration. "I have no doubt that It was this
mania against vice that sent him
down to that place last night and into
all this trouble. He took it upon
himself to raid a supposed gambling
resort single-handed and was beside
himself when he started shooting.
Mother Heard Him.
"Wallace came home last night and
his mother heard him go down stairs
at 2 o'clock. She did not hear him
leave the house and supposed that he
had returned to bed. It was at that
time that he took my rifle and cart
ridge belt and set out on his mission."
Young Bussell's attention seems to
have been directed to the Monte Carlo
saloon by the raid made upon the place
last week when a number of men
found gambling were arrested.
A bitter tight against the policy of
Mayor H. C. Gill in establishing a
district in which gambling and other
vices are tolerated has been waged
for the past month, and the Ciean City
Association has been organized, backed
by men of means and with able attor
neys, to clean the city: The names of
the politicians who own or lease prop
erty used for unlawful purposes have
been obtained and steps to prosecute
them under the state law have been
begun.
Persons interested in the Clean City
Association say they know nothing of
a secret anti-vice society. The as
sociation is a public organization and
is about, to be incorporated. ,

WRITES TO BRADY'S ENEMIES
CALLING HIM TRAITOR.
One Recipient Proves Governor's

Brady Tells Opinion.
BOISE, Idaho, May 12. (Special.)
Forced to resign and disgraced because
he used his office of trust for personal
gain. Register M. I. Church, of the State
Land Board, today attacked Governor
James H. Brady, by writing letters" to
his supposed enemies, wherein he classed
the chief executive as a traitor.
This episode is but a sequel to the
graft exposures recently made before the
State Land Board.
Church sought revenge by writing a
serial letter, a copy of which was sent
to John A. Tupper, manager of the
Montpelier Light & Power Company,
wherein he said, in part:
