death of DR. Daniel C. Hays, who was
stabbed by John Murphy the hog
butcher, who slew five men and seri-
vile, is expected hourly John Cheevas
and Joseph Cicosk who also were
stabbed, are both in critical condi-

doubtful.
In a padded cell at the Somerville
police station Murphy allowed no one
to approach him, and after hours of
raving he began to pray.
Murphy became violent while at
work in a slaughter house as a pig

men before him, slew five of them and
wounded four others.
Every man he struck went down
with a groan. The crowd plunged
downstairs, with Murphy after them,
and at every landing he cut somebody.
On the second floor one of the work
men, an Italian, seized heavy bar of
iron and felled Murphy, who was
quickly on his feet again and wounded
another man.
On the street floor he was given
another heavy blow on the head and
his knife was wrenehed from his hand.
Two policemen came to help the work
men, and Murphy was given fear.

THE NEW PISTOL LAW.

The new Johnson pistol toting law
in West Virginia which makes It a
severe penalty for the carrying Of
Heapons without a license may put
a serious crimp in the usual Fourth
OF July celebrations. il seems GER
tain from opinions rendered that it
will do away with the use Of the
blank cartridge or at least cut It
down TO great extent
The question has been raised as
to whether 1t will be necessary for
a person to secure a license and fur
nish bond for having in their posses
sion, the pistols used for the firing
OF blank cartridges. In Nthe op.n
ion of several lawyers and officials
1t will Sc necessary for such persons
desiring to use the pistols to secure
a license If such is the case and 1t
seems reasonable from the reading
of the law, there will be few blanks
used on the Fourth.
1t is plain that person must have
a iicenseland furnish the bond to carry
a regular revolver or pistol used
Tor firing cartridges if they car
ny them only to shoot off blanks on
$ the glorious day The question
is only as to those pistols which are
made for only the firing of blanks
and cost from twenty-five to fifty
cents. II is held by some local law
yers that 1t is necessary for persons
carrying these pistols TO secure the
license from the following which is
the first CT the opening clause Of
Sectionl Z o. tn law. IF any person
without a state license therefor, car
ry about his person any revolver or
osher pistol, dirk. bowie knife,
slung shot, razor, billy, metallic or
other ta1lse nuckles or any other
dangerous or deadly weapon OF like
kind or character, he shall be guilty
of misdemeanor etc"
The mention of the words, 10Th
CT pistol" and other dangerous or
deadly weapons of like character" in
the law are taken to cover those PTS
tolls used for the firing of blanks.
They come Ender the class OF "pis-
toI' and also are considered both
dangerous and deadly weapons. AS
a result no one will be allowed to
fire blank cartridges to celebrate the
Fourth This has been one of the
most popular ways of making noises
on this day and the law will do away
with much of the racket that is most
rackng to the ears and nerves.
Several dealers in Fourth of July
goods have been making inquiries as
to this mater as they do not wish to
lay in a stock OF the blank cartridge
pistols and the blanks if people will
not be permitted to Use them.
