Blot and Shooting ARRAY at Madison
John Gavin Instantly Killed Dy
the City Marshal.

bHO NltI AoESAAA'
MADISON, IND, May 31.-A fatal
riot and shooting afray occurred In
this city about seven o'clock this
evening. the particulars of which are
substantially as follows:
John Gavin, a well known Irish
man, who has figured conspieuously
In the police courts hereabout for
several years, got into difficulty with
a miller by the name of Messmore,
and struck him. Messmore. who is
a quiet and peaceable man, immedi-
ately put himself on the defensive,
and the two clenched each other.
About this time, Mr.. John w. Linck,
Prosecutor of the Criminal Court,
who happened to be passing at the
time, appeared in the attitude of a
peacemaker, and endeavored to sepe-
rate the combatants.
Gavin then loosed his hold on
Messmore, and at once assaulted
Linck. One or two other men, who,
il seems, were in company with
Gavin In the frst place, and had been
drinking with him, also Joined in the
attack on Linck The latter seemed
to be equal 60 the occasion, and sue
cessfulIy held his opponents at bay,
single handed, for some time. Gavin
struck at Linck several times, but his
blows were wardcd off, and Linek,
outhankiDg him, felled him to the
ground with his fists.
Finally, man by the name Of Grif-
fin, an employee of Gavin, ran up and
struck Linck with a dray pin, but
failed to knock him down. 1t is said
- al
Linck by the friends of Gavin. Final
ly the street fight terminated, and
Marshal Whedon came to the scene
with Writs for the arrest of the offend
ers. Gavin swore he would not be
taken. and threatened to shoot the
Marshal If he attempted it. Draw
ing his weapons, he defed the author
tiles. Whedon, finding himself in a
desperate situation, demanded a sur
render, and at length. in self defence.
fired at Gavin. The ball entered
Gavin's head near his eye. and he fell.
and almost instantly expired.
The Coroner is now holding an in
quest on the body, which lies at the
residence of the deceased. No one
seemed surprised at the death of Ga
vim, as from his drinking, quarrel
some disposition, those that knew
him fully expected that sooner or la
ter he would meet with a violent
/ death He leaves q wife aud several
children, who, however, are not like
ly TO suffer. as it Is understood tkat
Gavin possessed considerable prop
crfy.
a FIRE took place en- West Main

promptly on hand. and with the aid
