Horace B. Vail, of the National Stock Yards, _— —_— Shot and Killed in Bast St. Louis Early this Morning. — -_———__— Edward Tremaine, the Murderer, Sur- renders Himself. About 1:15 o’clock this morning Horace B. Vail, ex-superintendent of the National Stock Yards, was shot and killed by Ed. Tremaine, in the latter’s saloon southeast corner of Fifth street and Missouri avenue, Kast St. Louis. The news of the murder spread over the town quickly, and from an early hour this morning large groups of persons assembled at the street corners and discussed the affair. | About 11:30 o’clock last night Vail, in compa- ny with Pat. Boyne, an ex-Depu- ty Marshal, entered Tremaine’s sa- loop. Several drinks were taken, when Vail’s conduct excited Tremaine’s anger. A lively dispute ensued, and about one o’clock the quarrel resulted in plows. Tre- maine drew a revolver and fired three shots at Vail, one of which pierced his body to the left and above the left nipple, causing death in a few minutes. Tremaine surrendered bimself to Deputy Tim O’Brien at 7:30 o’clock this morning, and was taken to the police station, where he was searched and locked up. A reporter this morning saw him in his cell ana obtained a statement from him. Heis below the medium size and of a dark com- plexion. He is thirty vears of age, bas resided in LEast St. Louis about one year, during which time he has been employed as bar-keeper in Goeppert’s saloon. TREMAINE’S STATEMENT. ‘*Apout haif-past eleven last night,’’ he said, ‘‘this man, whom I did not know, came intothe saloon with a young man named Pat Boyne. I married last Thursday in St. Louis, and onl open- ed Mv saloon on Satnrday ast. He ordered a couple glasses of beer. which I gave bim, andtben he asked meif I had my liquor license. I told him that I had not, but that my bond for the city license had already been signed. He said, ‘You want to pay it to our party, and you don’t pay it to those other — —- They put the city into bank- ruptey.’ Ithen set them some lunch, and while I was doing this Vail pulled out a large kpife and showed itto me. He then drank several) glasses of beer and Boyne drank with him. ltreated to thecigars and when they went to light them Vail took the cigar lighter and spilt the oil all over the counter and came to me and said he was a good muscular man. He went behind the counter and shoved my var-keeper away and said he couid handle the both of us. I attempted to reason witb him and induce him to let the bar- keep- er attend to the business of tbe _ saloon. Thinking that there was going to be trouble with him I started to goout and he pushed me back and struck me in the breast, and I told my _ wife, who was behind the counter, to go out, and when she attempted to do so he struck her in the breast, but not so bard as he struck me. I asked himto please go outside, forif he wanted anything he could get itby paying for it. I bad my revolver laying on the back of the counter and I took it and put it inside my vest onthe left side sothatI could reach it with my right band. He said: ‘You don’t know me,eh? You don’t know whol am,’ and i replied that if that was the kind of a gentleman he was, | did not want to know apy more about him. Atthis he jumped at me, and I drew the revolver from my breast and shot at him. We clenched, and he caught the revolver in his hand. He was still behind thebar. Icalledto my wife, ‘For God’s sake hit him or be’}) killme.’ We werethen down on the floor fighting for possession of tpeievolver. My wifestruck him two blows, Ithink, with asoda bottle.

I stepped in and soon became engaged in a game. Vail and Boyne entered srortly after 11 o’cleok, but I paid no particu- lar attention to them.
