Harriet street yesterday afternoon,
and in the fierce fight that followed
Kane was pierced through the heart
by an ice pick and died short time
later
Kane, who lived in Harriet street,
had assailed Hagel at various times
during the last six weeks. The trou-.
Bile started over an unsuccessful effort
made by Kane to win the affections of
May Crosby. known as the belle of
Harriet street. Miss Crosby had been
very friendly with Hagel and accepted
his attentions. The young woman re-
pulsed Kane on several occasions and
appealed to Hagel for protection,
A little more than week ago Kane
and two of his companions met HageI
as he was about to enter his little
home in Harriet street and severely
beat him.
Hagel, who is employed by Miller &
Lux, was on his way to the home of the
owner of the house in which he lived
to pay his rent yesterday afternoon,

had just left his house when he was
struck on the head by a brick. His
head was badly cut and he fell to the
ground. When he recovered his senses
he saw Kane standing near by laugh
ing at him.
Hagel threatened to swear out a
warrant for kane's arrest. This ang-
cred Kane, and he made a rush at
Hagel Hagel was knocked off his feet
and was being badly beaten by Kane,
who at one time was known as a prize

ice pick from the ground and plunged
it into Kane's body. The instrument
pierced Kane through the heart and
he died few minutes after he was
taken to the central emergency hos
pital.

and they were of the opinion that
Hagel acted in self-defense. He sur
rendered to the police. He was also
taken to the emergency hospital for
treatment having been badly beaten
by Kane before he killed him.
