After S. D. Williams had refused to permit his daugnfer to marry J. C. Woodall, the rejected suitor today killed Wil liams, and then killed himself when he was about to be arrested after a running fight with police.

Woodall had first taken the girl down town in a taxicab and had left her at a hotel, his object apparently being to prevent her witnessing the tragedy. Woodall. who was a fireman on the icxas -acinc Railway, had been a f-uitor for Miss Dovle Williams' hand for several months. The girl's father determinedly opposed the match, and last week had forbidden" Woodhall to come to the house and had told his daughter she must not see him anywhere else. vvoociall today drove up to the W1I-'iams home in a taxicab, "and walking" to the door had asked for Miss Dovie.

A quarrel with the father ended by the girl eaylng she would around with Woodall a short time and then return home and see hirn no more. Drove Girl lo Hotel. They drove away, despite the father's commands to his daughter and threats lo the suitor, and went to a hotel downtown. Soon Woodall came out of the hotel and told the chauffeur to drve back to the Williams house. He refused, fearing air.

Williams would carry out his threats to shoot, but the' fireman compelled him to obey by drawing a revolver. Williams 'was sitting on the front porch of his dwelling with a revolver in his hand when the automobile drove up. When Woodall got out he went into the house. Woodall advanced to the front door and fired into the house, wounding Williams slightly. Tha older man ran out on the porch, and before he could fire Woodall had shot him four times.

He fell to the floor dead; Ran Back Toward Hotel. Woodall then ran back to the motor car, but the chauffeur had abandoned it when the shooting began. Unable to start It, Woodall started to run down the street toward the hotel where he had left Miss Williams. Two policemen came in sight. Wood? all stopped and reloaded his revolver.

He started to run again, but as the policemen were gaining on him, stopped and fired four shots at them. Neither was hit. He then fired his last shot into his own head, fell to the street and died. Miss Williams is prostrated by the tragedy' and cannot make a statement.
