This conversation occurred at the head of the stairs leading into the skating rink, in a small, dark yestibule Friends interfered and induced Knight to go down stairs. He remained but few minutes when he started up the stairway, saying he was going to kill Brown threatening the friends who attempted to hold him. Brown was standing in the vestibule at the head of the stairway with his foot up on a bench, and his right side to the stairway. It is not positively known who fired the first shot, as the reports of both pistols were almost simultaneous. Knight was using a fve-chambered Smith x Wes- son hammerless pistol, Brown had spe- eial Smith & Wesson six-shooting pistol. Brown received three fatal wounds In the side; Knight was shot four times fatally in the breast. Eleven shots were fired.

Clothinq and Flesh Burned.

Sucn was the close range or tne WedpOnS that the clothing and flesh of both parties were burned. Immediately after Knight S first shot or sometime at the very be- ginning of the affray. Brown reached over and seized Knight by the lapel of his coat and pulled him toward him, empty ing his pistol as fast as he could work 1t at the same time. During the shooting, and until his death. Brown retained his hold on his antagonists coat When both pistols were emptied the men fought with their empty weapons until their last gasp, Brown cutting gash an inch or more in length to the bone on the forehead of Knight. and finally, both clutching each other fell over on the floor dead, Brown falling across the body of Knight. Prob ably 150 people were present at 10:3O when 1t occurred and the scene caused the widest excitement.
 Crowd Quickly Dispersed.
 Both parties were dead in less than ten minutes after the shooting began. and the crowd quickly dispersed horror strick- en at the tragic events of the evening. The young men were well liked and both are highly connected, and the whole com- munity greatly deplores the dark trag- edy.
 Rather peculiar coincidence Is that spot double tragedy of a similar nature was enacted. wherein saloon man named Rasberry shot and killed Remps Sim mons, the owner of the saloon, and then blew out his own brains.

Com. LADD A BUSY MAN
He Is Preparing His Annual Report,
Conducting Denatured Alcohol
Experiments and Testing OILS.

Official tests of oils and gases to
determine their burning qualities will
soon be made at the A. c. Professor
Ladd has received from Germany a
photometer for measuring light. The
instrument is a very delicate one and
measures even the thousandths of
candlepower. 1t was purchased in
Germany and will be used in making
tests of various oils and gases to de-
termine their relative values for fuel
and lighting purposes.
At present Professor Ladd and his
assistants are very busy making ex-
periments in the jistillation of dena-
tured alcohol. Two small but very
excellent stills made especially for use
at the experiment station are being
employed and barley is now being
matted. Washes of corn, potatoes and
other vegetables are also being made.
These will be fermented with the OBJ
ject of determining the quantity of al
cohol which can be extracted from
each, which will give its relative value
in the making of alcohol.
Professor Ladd believes that under
proper regulations farmers could be
sold cheap outfits for the manufacture
of denatured alcohol.
This would prove Of great benefit

ed deck of cards from the players
and gave them a new deck. AS soon

beaten with marked deck, a quarrel
ensued and threats were made, Kane
saying that he would get even.
