Burglars BuIIetted.
New YORK, Oct. 16.-John Irving and
John Walsh, widely Known burglars, shot
and killed each other, in Shang Draper's
saloon, No. 466 Sixth avenue, early this
morning. They had bitter quarrel. 1t is
SAID. six weeks ago, and when they met in
another saloon they drew their pistols, but
were separated.
The police story is that John Irving and
"Jack, the Mick, were in Diapers saloon
shortly before o'clock this morn
ing, both filled with liquor, they quarreled
over some rascaliy in which they were
mutually interested, then became noisy,
and Billy Porter entered and tried to stop
the row. HIS interference only aroused the
rioters TO fury, and both whipped out re-
volvers and fired at close quarters. Every
one in tie saloon sought cover, as
shots were fred at the same
instant ard with fatal effect. Irving fell
dead, with Jack the MicK's bullet in his
brain, and the Mick fell, shot through the
heart. Neither lived long enough to
breathe twice after being shot. Billy
Porter aud the gang ran out TO the street
but the reports OF the pistols were heard by
the police and Porter was arrested. Every
person suspected OF being in the saloon
at the time OF the shooting was arrested.
John Irving is of Patchon avenue, Brook.
