About 4 o'clock this evening an ex-
citing rumor appeared upon the streets
of this city, that man had been shot.
On going to the place where the tragedy
was reported to have occurred, OBJ
tanned the following particulars: m
About week ago man and his wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Hanson, came to
Marshalltown visiting friends, the lady
being the sister Of the wife of p. X. Ed
wards, of this place, at whose house they
were stopping. Mr.. Hanson had been
very auarrelsome all the afternoon, in
dulging in violent Language and raising
hell generally THAT may not be the re-
portorial style, but il is fact). In his
anger he amused himself by cutting up
his wife's clothing what she was not
wearing) with pocket knife, destroying
any garment he could find in her trunk.
Some dresses and a large quantity OF
undertaking we're cut all to pieces. He
at last assaulted her personally, holding
her at arms length and striking her ter
rible blows in the face, knocking her
down several times. AT last he fourished
his knife, whereupon she drew a revolver
and fred at least three shots-though
she states that the weapon was fully
loaded with seven cartridges, and now
but one remains. AT least three shots
took effect-one passing clear through
the head, just back Of the ears, one pass
ing through the cheek, and one cutting
the left breast and probably passing
through the heart. He staggered back
ward, and fell out Of the door dead.
Hanson proves TO have been a profess
sional gambler He formerly kept a
gambling house az Duluth. He has been
married a year last August, but has
since left his wife several times, and
has repeatedly abused her and most
cruelty, on some Of which occasions his
name has figured in the papers largely.
For some Of these publications he as
saulted the editor OF the Duluth Mime
sotian last summer. he was thirty-two
years old, and his wife twenty-eight
years. Her parents reside near Usage,
Mitchell county, Iowa, where she was
brought up. The deceased was & very

AT LAST.

The stream is calmest when IL nears the tide,
And flowers the sweetest at the eyentide,
And birds most musical at close of day,
And saints divinest when they pass away;
Morning is lovelier, but a holier charm
Lies folded close in evenings rsbes of balm
And weary man must ever love her best,
For morning calls to toll, but night to rest.
Coming from heaven. she on her wings doth
bear
A holy fragance. like the breath Of prayer;
Footsteps of angels follow in her trace, b
To shut the weary eyes of day In peace.
All things are hushed before her as she throws.
Ger earth and sky, her mantle Of repose;
There is a calm, a beauty and a power,
That morning knows not, in the evening
Until the evening we must weep and toll,
Plough life's stern furrow, dig the weedy soil,
Tread with sad feet our rough and stormy
way, N La ~ a
And bear the heat and burden of the day.
Oh lwhen our sun Is setting, may we glide
Like summer evening down the golden tide Z;
And leave behind as when we pass away,
Sweet, starry twilight round our sleeping
clay.
