MURDER THE END OF A SPREE.

Joseph Orlowich Shoots and Kills
John Lucas -- Both Austrians.

During a quarrel following a day's drinking spree Joseph Orlowich, an Austrian, shot and killed John Lucas, one of his fellow countrymen, last night near the latter's home in the "Patch," Kansas City, Kas. The two men left the "Patch" in the morning the best of friends.

They put in most of the day drinking together and when they returned in the evening a controversy arose resulting in the exchange of blows. Orlowich, it is claimed, drew a revolver and fired pointblank at his antagonist.

Only one shot was fired, the bullet passing through Lucas's body causing almost instant death. Orlowich was locked up in the county jail.
