Shooting ARRAY.
An uyJaihfM Wife .Stu71rised By an In
lll digpao3it Husband.
From the st. Louis Republican.

years OF age, was arrested by officer
Noodall, early yesterday morning,
charged with shooting man of the
name of Charles j. Rappe, under the
following circumstances: Dyson and
ais wife (who is represented as young
md good looking) reside in a house, ia
on South Fifth. street. Rappe is gay
and dashing young music teacher, and
rents a room in the same tenement
Dyson is pork inspector, and has nee
essarily been absent a good portion Of
the time in adjoining States, thus le3v-
ing his wife and the gay music teacher
TOO much together for their own good, as
Jne result has proved. ...
Dyson, according to his own state
nent, after a long absence last summer,
was told by his friends that " it wasn't
! just thing to leave his wife too much
IN the society of the music teacher" but
le refused to listen to the evil reports
he loved his young wife. He trusted in
-ler. He was fOrbearinG, unsuspecting.
Nevertheless he couldn't help feeling
slightly prejudiced against the music
eacher. He couldn't bear to have
aim around" he said, and one day COM
ng home and finding him in CONVERSE
ton with his wife, he kicked him out OF
.oors, and then sorrowfully kissed his
wife, believing that she was still faith
iul and true. By and by, however, he
Jegan to get suspicious, jealous, and re-
,olved to dissolve all doubts. So, on
saturday last he gave out that he was
going to Alton, to be gone some time,
md he went. But he returned again,
md on Monday night secreted himself
n the vicinity of his wifes bed cham
Der.
The result was that he was speedily
convinced of his wife's guilt. He was
armed with revolver, and he determin-
I'd to be revenged. He stealthiiy ap-
preached the chamber door, but unluck-
| .iy he stumbled against a coal bucket
The noise aroused the suspected parties
| md before he could reach the door they
nad locked and bolted it. So Mr.. Dy-
son was forced to go outside and climb
IN at the window, while his nephew,
who was helping him watch, went for
IN officer. Officer Woodall happened TO
Je in the vicinity, but before he could
each the room, he heard pistol shot
and loud screams. On entering the
.'Oom, the scene presented was OF de-
cidedly tragic character. Dyson was
struggling on the floor against the COM
bined attack of his beloved wife and the
music teacher, Rappe. The former was
nair, and the latter, having Just failed
IN the endeavor to bite off portion of
his cheek, was laying hold of his revOl-
yer to shoot him. But just at this point
the officer interfcred, and rescued Dyson
trom his perilous predicament. Rappe,
It appeared, was shot by Dyson, as soon
rs the latter entered the room, the ball
entering the left breast and passing
through the body; but, notwithstand-
ing this, he rallied sufficient strength TO
knock Dyson down, and would have
shot him bat for the timely arrival Of
the officer. Rappe was conveyed to the
hospital and II is thought his wound
viii prove fatal. Dyson was locked up
in the calaboose, and on being brought
before the Recorder, was admitted to
bail in the sum OF 81, 900.
Dyson will be remembered by many
of the citizens of Muscatine as an en-
ployc of Chambers q Co., during the
late pork packing season.
