KILLS FORMER PARTNER

 Louen V. Atkins Shot.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-That Dr. James M. Rainey shot and killed his rival and former business associate. Louen V. Atkins, because of controversy over a matter of s5. was brought out at the coroner's inquest. It was given out at the coroner's office that only one eyewitness to the tragedy could be found, A. G. Hansen, manager of Atkins concern.
 Hansen was standing directly be- hind Dr. Rainey, in Atkins private office, when Rainey drew his revolver and shot his rival through the head. Atkins died at the county hospital.
 Until last November, Dr. Rainey and Atkins were partners in the James NJ. Rainey Medical company. Then Dr. Rainey broke away and started rival concern. A similarity of names result cd in confusion in the delivery of mail. A s5 order intended for Rainey was delivered to the Atkins firm. and
