vicinity of the ceinp,iii which one
Of the volauteers lost his life In
the excitement attendant kal the
sad oceurrence, and in the ebsene'e
of a magisterial ieveetigation, the
accounts of the affair are very con-
tradietory. From parties who

'"Help" and "murder," from some
,one in the house, and at the same
time ehots were heard inside.:
Some one in the perty threw tt
:stone at the door, when another
shriek was heard, whioh was fol-
lowed by a volley of stones, some
af whit& broke the windows. Just
then a female appeared at an up-
per window, and sheeted "Go
01,way from the door, or my hus-
band will you." By this time
some of the party had jumped
over the fence, Nvhile others enter-
ed the lane by the sidenofthe
house. Li another miniete the
:front -door Opened and Walter
:fatevensen, the man of the house,
ushed out with a smoking revol-
in oae hand and a large knife
in tiM other. By this time all the
jw.rty in the yard had dispersed
with the exception of Ralph Shaw
who was in the act of elimbing;
bver the fence when SteVeneon
made plunge at him with the
knife, the blade of which entered
Shaw's right si.le b4ween the
tenth arid eleventh ribs and pene-

hailed and Shaw was taken to•ithe

W the 'comp where, in ten minutes
after receiving his wound, the un-
fortunate young fellow die. The
only words Shaw was heard to

ed his death woittid, Stevenson

z•ested by .Detective Rider on a

the feet that Shaw died of hemor-
rhage. He wae in every respect
healthy and of finephysique, but
his wonnd was such that under no
circumstance couldehe have lived
nun% than fifteen minutes after
teceiving the terrible stab. Ae
