STABBED HIS SON IN LAW.

SEATTLE, May IA stabbing affray
occurred In North Seattle tonight, as
the result of family quarrel. Joseph
Lamb, a young mechanic, accompanied
his wife to the LONE of her step father,
Louis Fleck, to make social call. There
had been bad blocd between the two men
ov,r Lambs marriage, and, as soon as
they met, the quarrel was renewed. They
engaged in very heated alteration
which Fleck finally ended by drawing
large pocket knife, which he had opened
in his pocket, and plunging it into his
son in laws left breast, just above the
heart. Lamb fell TO the floor, bleeding
profusely, and Fieck ran from the house,
hiding in an outhouse in the back yard,
where he was found by officers about
midnight. Lambs wound, while not
fatal, is very serious. 1t is about two
inches deep, and 1t Is thought by the sur
geon that it is bleeding internally. Lamb
was removed to his home, where he is
resting easily at midnight. Fieck has
been locked up on charge of assault
with intent to kill.

Wool growers who have commenced
shearing complain of extremely light wool.
Sheep that last year sheared eight pounds,
this spring only gave Aeeces weighing FIVE
pounds. The decrease in the weight is at
tributed to the severe winter. With the
heavy losses during the past winter and the
light shearing this spring, sheep raisers will
be left in bad condition.

PERIsHED IN THE FLAMES


New York, May ia special to the
Herald from Norwich, N. Y, says that
Notwithstanding the mysterious reticence
of the coroner and the keepers and
superintendent of the burned Chenango
county poorhouss at Preston, persons in
a position to know say that at least
thirty patients perished in the flames. 1t
Is SAID that not one inmate out of twenty
in the beoridden ward escaped. Super
intendent Babcock has stated to the board
of supervisors, who are investigating the
matter. that, as all the records were des-
troyed, it is impossible to get at the exact
number of missing before next Tuesday.
There seems to have been gross carless-
ness about the security and management
of the unfortunate people, and it looks as
it investigation would justify the predic-
uion now made as to the number of VIC
Tins, and that perhaps a worse state OF
affairs will be revealed than is now
dreamed of.
