Fatal shooting Array In n Tough Chicago
saloon.
Chicago, Jan. 9. -" kid" Murphy, a
noted Chicago gambler Of the she'll
worker variety, was shot dead, and
Frank, alias Dickey Dean and Martin
Donahue we're shot, probably fatally,
during a quarrel last night in saloon
at No. III north Clark street. The affair
Is said TO be the result Of feud Of sew
eral months standing. The police in
formation is that Murphy entered the
saloon evidently In search of trouble
and Immediately upon seeing Don
ahue opened fire. Dean stepped
between the men and received the sec
ond shot, the first going wide. DOnahue
and Murphy fred three shots each. Don
ahue is a saloon keeper and Dean con-
stable. Thirteen men were arrested In
the saloon, among them being "MajOr"
Sampson, who was suspected Of compile.
ity In the murder OF Gus. Collander dur
ing the election riot three years ago.
The general theory is that the trouble
originated In the stabbing affray In
DOnahue's saloon about three months ago
between Murphy and Joe. Kehoe. Muir
ply was stabbed over the eye and blamed
Martin DOnahue for causing the trouble.
Murphy and Dean were the leaders Of a
gang OF tOughs, who, three years ago,
beat Lieutenant Colleran, now Captain

MASON AND uAYERFoKp.

They Indulge in Fiat Fight first, Fol-
lowed by Knife Cutting.
One OF the most vicious personal en-
counters that has occurred In this city
for some time took place last evening
when william Hayerford, the carpenter,
and Billy Mason became involved In q
Misunderstanding az TO who was 10 pay
for a couple Of drinks at the Montezuma
saloon.
Hayerford had been trying his luck at
some Of the games Of chance and had
come out winner. As he stepped up 10
the bar and called for the drinks. Billy
Mason asked II he wasn't going 10 be In
on the treat. Hayeriord replied In the
affirmative whereupOn Mason called up a
few OF his friends.
When the time came for settling Hay
erford refused TO pay for the drinks Of
Mason's friends as he had not invited
them.
A hot dispute followed which soon led
TO blows.
Hayerford knocked Mason down three
times In succession aud then Mason's
friends interfered and tried 10 stop the
fight.
They held Mason and Hayerford walked
out.
Mason broke away from his friends and
the fight was renewed on Second street
and the encounter that followed was
much more bloody than the one which
occurred in the saloon.
Both OF the combatants seem 10 have
used knives, II the marks on their faces
are any evidence.
Hayerford seems to have got the worst
OF II In the cutting match for when IL
was over he was found 10 have an ugly
cash In the face extending from the
cheek bone to the mouth. DIR. Haynes
happened to be by and Hayerford went
up to his office and had his cut and bleed.
ing face stitched together again.
Mason was arrested by Marshal Colbert
and Deputy Sheriff Fornoff. One OF his
thumbs we're cut and there was small
cash over one eye. His vest was also cut.
No knife was found upon him by the Off
GERS, although Hayeriord said that he
had one In his hand when he came out OF
the saloon.
Mason is strong. athletic young man,
aud well-knOwn In the city.
Bayerford is carpenter for W. W.
Strong and has always borne quiet dis.
position, and is regarded a. very peace
ful citizen. Mr.. Strong speaks In high
terms OF him As a workman and ~ 4 law
abiding citizen, and, naturally regrets
his conflict with Mason last night.
AT 10 o'clock this morning Mason ap-
peared before Justice Crawford TO an
swer to the complaint OF Hsyerford. who
charged him with assaulting him with a
knife. The preliminary hearing was ad-
jOurned until o'clock this afternoon,
and Mason was required 10 furnish a
bond OF $500 TO appear at that hour. In
default OF bond Mason remained in the
custody Of 0flicer ROssi until this after
noon.
A large crowd gathered at the police
court this afternoon from curiosity In
the outcome OF the case. Mason ap-
peared, waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury and re-
quired to furnish bond OF $500. Justice
Crawford turned him over to the sheriff
and instructed the latter to approve or
disapproye his bond when he offered one.
Mason expects to furnish the required
bond this afternoon. He IL, at press hour,

MIGHT HAVE BEEN
 STRAY WBERRIES Peculiar Death of Little Girl After Eating the
 Fruit. It Is Believed That Paris Green Was Used as an Inse ect-
 icido.

There have been a number of serious tributed to eating strawberries, but the first death supposed to have been caused by eating the fruit is that of Nina Has sett, the little six-year-old daughter of Mrs. Emma Hassett, living at 204 Hyde street While there is no positive proof that the little girl died from poison, and while her family will not say that her death was the direct result of eating strawberries grown on vines sprinkled with paris green, the fact that they admit that this might have been the cause lends color to the belief that it was.
 The little girl was taken sick Thurs day morning with cramps in her stomach and vomiting. Dr. Wilcox was called to attend the child, but in spite of his efforts she died Friday morning, having been unconscious and in spasms all of the pre- ceding night. The doctor signed a death certificate giving the cause of death as cholera morbuS, and the body was buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery yesterday afternoon. Dr. Wilcox said that the symptoms were those of cholera in- fantum and inquired what the child had been eating. When told that she had eaten strawberries recently he ventured the assertion that they may have been the cause of her illness and death.
 Mrs. Hassett said last evening that a young lady named Miss Mcclellan who attended Sunday-school with the child died this week with similar symptoms and this death was also one of the might have been strawberries" cases.

AGAINST AN ELEPHANT.
Unique Tug-of-War in the Chutes
 Zoo

With the elephant at one end of the rope and the available crowd at the other there was a most interesting tug of-war at the Chutes yesterday.
 It was advertised that the big elephant would pull against 200 men, and pull he did, although the load he dragged after him was not sized up. Now catch hold of the rope,'' was the only order given. and the crowd was quick to respond. It was a small crowd, on account of the rain, and the rope was long one, so there was room for nearly everybody
 Bostick, the elephants manager, laid hold of the big brute's ear and gave him the word. He started forward and the crowd on the rope followed slowly and reluctantly. Then, as every one yelled, the elephant stopped pulling and the crowd hauled him backward for twenty feet. Then he got hold again, and, grunt- ing at every step. he gained foot by foot, while every man on the rope dug his heels into the dirt and grttted his teeth.
 The contest was draw, but if the ele- phant had had Q fair show he would have won.
