A GENERAL SHOOT-UP’
REJECTED LOVER SEEKS REVENGE. (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Sydney Sun Cables). NEW YORK, November 18. Leonard Port ano, aged 33, living at Keliher, Minnesota, did not like the attention Oscar Timmy was paying Myrtle Sanders, so he opened fire on Timmy when they met in the street, wounding him in the leg. Timmy went and complained to police officer Jim Wilson, who, on attempting to arrest Portano, was shot dead. Port ano then visited the home of his sweetheart and shot her mother dead. Meeting the girl’s father on the highway, Portano bound him with ropes against a fence and slowly killed him.
By this time Timmy had had his wound dressed and was limping home when he met Portano, who now shot him dead. The murderer then fled to the w’oods, where the police are in pursuit.
