New York, Nov. 30. Angered by
domestic discord, alleged to have
been caused by his dissipation, Pat
rick Rafferty, a brick layer, ran
amuck In his home today, and with
a razor killed his wife, Margaret, fa
tally wounded his mdther-ln-law,
Mrs. Margaret Kelley, slashed his
brother-in-law, Frank Ohland, about
the face and hands, and attempted to
commit suicide by drawing the
bloody weapon across his throat.
Shortly after he had left his home
to go to work today Rafferty re
turned and found the members of his
family gathered about a fire in the
kitchen. Without a word of warn
ing the man drew a razor, and in a
burst of maniacal frenzy savagely at
tacked his wife.
,Mrs. Rafferty fell to the floor, her
throat gaping from a terrific gash,
from which the blood spurted in
great Jets.
The blood-lust aroused, Rafferty
then turned upon Mrs. Kelley. Oh
land attempted to interfere, but he
was driven to a corner, blood gush
ing from severe cuts on his face and
on the arm, with which he had at
tempted to defend himself from the
savage attack.
Intercepting Mrs. Kelley's terri
fied flight from the room, that al
ready resembled a charnel house,
Rafferty beat her to the floor and In
flicted wounds, that the surgeons at
the hospital to which she was re
moved, declared would be fatal.
Staggering to the street Ohland
called the police. When the officers
entered the room Rafferty was
crouching behind the lifeless body of
his wife, tho gory razor clasped in
his hand. He was bleeding profuse
ly from a throat wound, arid offered
no resistance when he was seized. It
was stated that he probably would
survive his self-inflicted injuries.

Supreme Court Holds That
Lord Lovelace Is Entitled
to the Race Purse.
Holding that tho circuit court for
Marlon county erred In- not sustain
ing a demurrer of tho plaintiff in the
case of E. B. Tongue against tho
State Board of Agriculture for Ore
gon, a suit to collect $300 as a stake
won by Lord Lovelace in 1904, tho
supreme court today reversed the
lower court's judgment and remand
ed tho case for further consideration.
Tho case has been pending in the
supreme court for four years, it hav
ing been started in tho Marlon coun
ty circuit court In 1904. Tho ap
pellant in the ense, E. B. Tongue,
was ownor of Lord Lovelace, a 2-year
old colt, which ho entered In the
stake for district-bred foals of 1902,
to be raced for the stake of $300 at
the stato fair in 1904. Lord Love
lace won the stake, uut the owner
was unable to collect It, and started
suit in the court presided over by.
Judge Burnett, of this county.
Tho main question presented by
the defendants in. objecting, was that
there was no testimony Introduced
to show that the race horse had been
foaled in this district, nor that it
was a young horse. In the opinion
written by Justice Eakin,-it Is held
that the blank presented to Mr.
Tonguo as an Invitation to enter his
horso, contained none of these speci
fications, and that whether or not
tho above contentions wore material
