CHICAGO, June ll.-Five men were the
victims OF John Kane's wrath In the
Deering street district last night. and
are lying In hospitals or their homes
under the care of physicians as q re-
suit OF a quarrel which originated be-
tween Kane and a blacksmith named
Charles Fisher In the latter's shop at
$3.50 Ashland avenue. Early In the even
ing Kane became involved In a political
discussion with Fisher In he black
smiths shop. The discussion ended in
a quarrel, which resulted In Kane stab
bling Fisher In the left breast.
Leaving his victim bleeding on the
floor of the blacksmith's shop Kane ran
to his home. where he secured an axe
and with this returned gain to the shop.
Meanwhile James Riley. Ernest Grum-
wald and Joseph Schultz while passing
the shop, had discovered Fishers condi-
tion. and were in the shop when Kane
by two friends.
No sooner did Kane see the three men
attempting TO bind up Fishers wound
with the uplifted axe, and struck wildly
at each of them. Before he could be re-
strained Riley, Grumwald inc Schultz
were lying on the hoor with severe cuts
Policeman Thomas Birmingham, after
whom the HayImarket Monument is
modelled. rushed to the scene while the
fight was in progress and attempted to
arrest Kane. He received a violent blow
upon the head from the axe and was
knocked to the floor.
Seeming hen to be satisfied with his
work, Kane dashed out of the black
smiths shop. and ran away. He was
later arrested and locked up.
Birmingham was seriously inc Riley
probably fatally injured. No cause can
be assigned for Kane's second assault
with the axe. except that OF temporary
insanity He bears a good reputation

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 1.-THE
schooner Loring b. Haskell. of this port.
has arrived home from the Banks, and
Capt. Day tells the story of her escape
from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant
last Monday. He states that on Satur-
day, June 2. the Haskell ran into Canso
for supplies. One Of the men wanted to
remain there. but Capt. Day would not
consent. and for revenge he believes
that the man told the authorities that
the Haskell had shipped men In Liver
pool In violation OF the law. inc as a
result the Vigilant was notified to seize
the vessel.
As the Haskell was passing Fort
Hawkesbury the yigilant's boa lay d.
rectly In her path and ordered her to
stop. As Cap, Day had a perishable
cargo, and II woul be spoiled IL the
schooner was seized, he refused to obey.
The Vigilant fired three shots at the
Haskell, but she did not stop and In an
hour left the cruiser far astern. Capt.
Day said:
Il have violated no law. for / took out
a fishing license in Liverpool and one
in Newfoundland. and have the right
to lay In harbor twenty-four hours with
