Frederick John Mills (April 28, 1865 – September 28, 1953) was a Republican politician and prominent engineer from Idaho. He served as the fourth Lieutenant Governor of Idaho. Mills was elected in 1895 along with Governor William J. McConnell.[2] Mills also served as State Engineer of Idaho from 1895 until 1897.[2] In 1899, he shot and killed instantly J.C. O'Melveny in his office at Salt Lake City on the afternoon of Oct 8th. The motive for the shooting was the criminal intimacy of O'Melveny with Mrs. Mills, which was discovered by Mills through his wife's confession an hour before the shooting.
