Show USED LAST SHELL TO KILL HIMSELF DEXISOX. Iowa., Oct. 6. William Ward, a farmer, charged with being insane, in-sane, stood off a sheriff's posse that attempted, at-tempted, to arrest him today bv using his wife as a shield, while he fired forty shots. When his ammunition was exhausted, ex-hausted, he used the last shell to kill himself. The charge entered his heart, killing him instantly. A deputy sheriff received two slight flesh wounds when the insane man shot at him while reaching for his gun to defend himself from the attack of an 18-year-old son armed with an iron bar. The son, armed with a gun, was later shot in the leg by the sheriff while attempting to reach a shed where his father was barricaded. |
