DEATH ENDS FEUD
Ex.CHlEE OF POLICE KILLED BY
A GAMBLER.
Desperate and Bloody Battle In Crowded
DRUG Store In Seattle, In Which the A.
srsssor Meets His Death-Besan right
with 4 "Sawed.OK' Shotsun-Men HAD
Sworn to XIII Each Other At Sight

Seattle, June 26.-At 5:25 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon John w. Con-
sidine, one of the proprietors OF the
Standard gambling house and PEG.
pies theater, in this city, shot and
killed ex~Chief of Police w. L. Mere
dith. The shooting occurred in
Guys drug store, on the corner OF
Second avenue and Yesler way, in
the heart of the city. Considine
was also wounded slightly in the hand
by a ball from double barrelled
shotgun in Meredith's hands.
The men had threatened to shoot
one another on sight, and were both
prepared for trouble. The drug store
at the time Of the shooting, was
crowded with people, and one by
stander was shot through the arm by
a stray bullet. Meredith was killed
while struggling with John Consi.
dine and Tom Considine, who had
come to his brothers. aid. Three
bullets from Considine's revolver,
fred at short range, pierced Mere
dith's body, one in the head. another
in the chest and another in the abdo-
men.
No event OF recent years has created
more excitement here. For hours
after the shooting the streets in the
neighborhood OF che drug store,
where the tragedy occurred, were
filled with thousands of men, women
and children, jostling one another for
an opportunity to inspect the prem
ises and excitedly discussing the
bloody ARRAY. Although short
time after the shooting some street
talk of lynching was heard, this soon
subsidized.
1t is alleged Meredith was the ag-
gressor, and made a deliberate at
tempt to kill his personal enemy OF
years standing. He is said to have
spent the afternoon in walking about
the streets armed with "sawed-off''
double barrelled shotgun loaded with
buck shot, in search Of his man. In
order to avert suspicion, he had
wrapped the weapon in large sheet
of butchers paper and tied it with a
cord, SO that it bore little resem-
blance to an instrument OF death.
Meredith found Considine in front
OF the drug store talking with friend.
He discharged the weapon at Consi-
dimes face, but the paper wrapping
prevented him from taking accurate
aim, and the charge went wild. Con-
sidine ran into the drug store, and
Meredith followed, firing the second
barrel just as he entered the door.
Then Meredith dropped the gun, and
drawing his heavy revolver continued
the pursuit.
Considine found himself cornered
on rea hing the rear of the store, and
turning, grappled with his enemy.
Tom Considine, the gamblers
brother, who had been standing with
him in front OF the store, had fol-
lowed Meredith, and he also grappled
with him. Tom Considine finally
wrenched the revolver from Mere
dith's grasp and repeatedly beat the
latter over the head with it. John
Considine then drew his own revolver
and fired three shots in quick success.
sion at his antagonist at distance
of eight feet. Meredith reeled and
fell dead.
Considine cody handed his revolt
yer to the sheriff, who had arrived on
the scene, and gave himself up.

Insect Enemie of Growing Wheat.

Insect Enemies of Growing Wheat.
There are many insects which feed on
and injure growing wheat, but the
greater proportion Of the losses to
wheat fields chargeable to insects Is
due to the attacks Of less than half
dozen species. Tie most destructive
Of these pests Is the chinch bug. The
great damage to farm crops by this in
sect Is due to its wide distribution, its
prevalence more or less every year, the
enormous multiplication in favorable
seasons, and to the fact that 1t attacks
all the cereals and most forage plants.
The next in Importance Is the Hessian
fly. 1t Is estimated that the damage
to the wheat crop by this pest is about
ten per cent of the product in the chief
wheat-growing sections Of this country.
