CHICAGO, January 23.-A shocking
murder was committed tonight on West
Madison street, near Canal. Chris
tCpher Malone stabbed James Reagan,
inhicting wound which proved fatal in
a few minutes. 1t seems that sometime
since the murdered man had his pocket
book stolen, and friend OF Malone was,
among others, arrested on suspicion of
his being the thief. This evening Ma
lone and Reagan met at a saloon
as above, and got into quarrel over the
matter. Finally Reagan struck Malone
with mRsOn's trOwel, which be had in
his hand, when the latter drew pocket
knife, and with one blow cut fearful
cash in his assailant's neck, and fed.
The wounded man was taken to drug
store in the vicinity, but all efforts to
stop the flow Of blood were unavailing,
and he died in few minutes. Later in
the evening the murderer was arrested
by the police and confined in the sta
tiOnhouse. Malone's father resides in
King street, New York.
