OneMnn Killed, Another Dying and Seven Others Wotindcd-Neoossisry to Blioot tho Crazed lUu Jloforo He Could lie t'npturnl. Brookvllle, Ont March O.-Pctcr Moore, ono of tho most respected citizens of Brockvlllc aftcd BO years, shot Oendi Chlof of Pollco Charlca Hose dyltiE, ami seven other cltlzejis moro or less seriously In jured, In tho result of an uproarious drunk on tho part ot ono Urual Lapolnte. a well known character here, to-lay. Lapolnto was shot down by a posso of citizens, who wero until then unahlo to arrest him. Lapolnte was out of his mind dt the time ho did the shooting ns tho re sult of a prolonnwl spree. At 10 minutes after 12 o'clock tho man started down Perth street, yelling after tho fashion of a western cowboy on a tear, and waving a double barrelled i-rMi.tnnfllntr shot trim at tho samo time. nkn uii-oi u-as crowded at the tlmo with people roIiis to lunch from the shops and factories. Whom tho cries of tho man wero first heard no Importance was attached to them, and Peter Moore, a gardener, start ed to cross tho street In front ot Lapolnte. Ho did not succeed In colnr; very far. Ho had crossed Perth street for the last time; on comlns In front of tho liquor crazed man the latter levelled his sun at Moore s head and pulled the trlnKer. Owlim to the closo rang-e tho chars nearly blow tho old man's head from his shoulders. Murder, murder, Immediately rang out along tho street, and Immediately It was deserted. Kvery one sought shelter In neighboring doorways, and left the ma niac In possession of tho thoroughfare. IIo did not seem to reallzo what ho had dono and steppltiB ncross tho prostrate body of victim No, 1, he commenced giv ing vent to his blor 'urdllng war whoops anew. No ono w In sight, and after glancing about ! fow seconds to see if any ono llsp.' nis niunoniy, uic murderer proceed, along the street. On a tfdo street turning Into Perth, only a few yards distant, was Chief of Police Hose, calmly walking right Into the very urms of tho desperate man, without a foul to warn him of his danger. Round tho corner ha came, and then there was an other yell, a loud report, a scream from Brockvlllc's head guardian ot tho peace, nml victim number two was told off. Not content with whootlng tho chief once. Ixiportc calmly knocked the empty rholls from his breech, and reloading, fired again and again at the prostrate man who, after the third shot, ceased to at tempt to regain his feet. Tho chief was shot In the neck and breast and his life Is despaired of. Things had now reached a frightful stage, and shelter-seeking citizens com menced to wonder If this state of affairs was to continue until tho maniac cither killed the entlro population, ran out of ammunition or grew tired. On down Perth street ho went, satisfied that ho had nothing moro to fear from the chief of police. After Iapointc stepped across the second prostrate body ho re loaded tho gun. He was In the samo ex citable condition as at flrHt. Only a fow minutes had ensued between tho shooting of Mooro and the chief of police. Ho recommenced hla Incoherent shout ing, -which attracted an Indian named Dlckton from a slda street. Dickson thought it Was i lire nnd ran Into Perth street to lend a hand. Ho did not sec La lug at ono another, some others In tho crowd took a hand In, but tnelr marks manship waa bad, and all shots went wldo of the intended mark. Lapolnto turned ono volley on tho crowd with deadly offoct. Mr. lloyd, ono of tho loadlnar grocers, and T. it, tngg and Oeorgo Stagg wcro thus wounded. The excitement was lntcn.se, nnd the crowd was almost paralyzed by the tcr rlhlo trajredy that was beln enacted right bfforo their oyes. Had any ono oven mado tho move In tho direction, tho crim inal would havo been lynched on tho spot. When Lapolnto had been disarmed and safely put behind tho bars, It was then p'osslblo to ascertain what had been dono. Tho body of poor Mooro lay on the sldc w.nlk dead, Chief nose was carried to his home, close by, terribly wounded, and nt this writing It Is doubtful whether he will llvo or not, tho chances being very much against him. Constable Tlnsey Is badly wounded but will recover. The Indian Dickson, was removed to the General Hospital. He will recover. Others wounded but not serious ly, are: 9am Kllbum, Uobert Uoyd, Fred StnwT, Georgo Stajrtr, Robert McCormnck and Thomas Debereaux. Lnnolule has three wounds In the hips. Thomas Debereaux Is a member of tho flro brlgado who had Joined the crowd and along with Robert McCormack was nuito badly wounded. A doctor Immediately summoned to pro Lapolnto pronounced tho prisoner's con dition as serlotit. The others are not serlou'ly hurt and had their wounds dreraert and went homo. Never In tho history of the town has thcro been eo much excitement as now prevails. It Is tho worst crime known to havo ever occurred In tho district and It Is fortunato for the murderer thnt ho has been known to be of unbound mind previous to the affair or It might go hard with him, so aroused are tho usual peace ful and law abiding residents of Ilrock vllle. Tho condition of the chief of police Is such thcro Is no hopes entertained of his recovery. Lapolnto Is about 40 years of age. His home I nbont eight miles from town nnd ho Is well known here. Ho Is an expert shot and spends the most of his time hunt ing, lie has shown signs of Insanity for a dny of two, drinking considerably. Ho ha"" been In troublo bofore. Some time ago ho camo Into town with a gun and threatened to hoot bis brother 1211, who was employed at tho St. Lawrence Hnll. lie was arrested and served two months In Jail for tho offence.

Ho had Just turned to speak to his friend, Charles Rivers, who usually walks over with him In the morn ing. Rivers told hlm to hurry up as tho train was coming and ho himself turned around nnd stepped off the bridge. Rivers says Splllane started to run nnd ho supposed he had got ncross safely until ho saw tho train stop. Georgo Ayers was ahead of Splllane and describes tho accident thus: "I was ahead of Splllano and when 1 heard tho train whlstlo I turned around nnd saw hlm hur rying up to reach tho end of the bridge Tho engineer kept blowing his whlstlo nnd ringing his bell.
