Evansville, Ind, May 19.zEvret Con- way, aged 27, married, shot and killed c. W. Garrison and wife in this city this morning and badly wounded Patrolman Ben Wallis. After being driven to des- peration by the police, Conway killed himself. Conway was a. neighbor of the Garrisons. The two families had not been on friendly terms for several months, the wives of the men having quarreled.
 Saturday morning Conway wrote a let ter to Garrison saying he had cheated his father in a trade for a milk dairy. Garrison showed the letter to Conway's s fathep who upbraided his son. Early this morning Conway, who was employed at the railroad yards, picked up a shot gun and, going to the stable where Gar rison was milking, shot him dead. Then he shot Garrisons cows to death. Mrs. Garrison ran from the house. Conway met her at the steps and emptied both barrels into her breast. she falling dead at his feet
 The murderer next set fire to the Gar rison stable, but the fire department was called out and extinguished the fire. Conway then barricaded himself in his house and when Patrolman Wallis at tempted to arrest hi1n, Conway shot him in the face and side. Wallis may die.
 The entire police department was called out after riot alarm was sounded. The police surrounded the house ready to break in when they heard a shot. Con way had kissed his wife good bye, then run upstairs and shot himself in the heart. Conway came from a good family, origin ally from Kentucky. He leaves a wife and two children. Garrison leaves two child ren. Garrison was prominent lodge man, and carried large life insurance. - Shooting Was Deliberate.
 The shooting of Policeman Wallis was as deliberate as was the killing of the Garrisons. A large hole was torn in Wall lis forehead and nearly hundred shot entered the body. The same shot brought injury to two bystanders who had been talking with Wallis, Edward Davidson and Adam Crawford. It was not until Chief of Police Henke surrounded the house with fifty men that Conway killed himself When Coroner Walker entered the house he found the following note which Conway had addressed to a local newspaper:
 Well friend reader, this will be news for you; I will tell you why. This man Garrison has bulldozed the whole ranch since he's been here; but he run against a snag when he struck me, so think he will sink. He's got the ranch under con- trol and he got 1t for nothing. My dad gave him every d-d thing he's got, house, whole stable, corner lot, seven or eight cows, horse. wagon, milk wagon, and everything on the place he grabbed. He's run the whole family away and has caused my dad to disown me altogether; run me out of the house after running me away from the corner house two days before now. Friends. you stand any such racket as thisP Not me, by a tugfull. I am from Kentucky-you know what's in those people now. He's threat ened to kill me, so I guess the jig Is up, T don't need to tell you what am going to do, for it will be in sight, or come ana see for yourselves. Yours truly,
