Fred. Glynn, of this city, dated Mon
day evening, states that Mrs. Juiia
SAVERS of Carson arrived there that
evening, and finding that her nus
band. y. J. SAVERS, was living at the
Grand Hotel with another woman,
proceeded to the woman's o and
shot her three times, once in the
breast. once in the arm and a third
time in the leg, and that the wounded
woman was not expected to live.
Mrs. SAVERS is a sister to DIR. Glynn
OF his city, and that gentleman left
for Stockton last evening. As all the
parties to the affair were recent resi-
dents of this city and are we'll known
here. and as there are various rurnors
atioat as to the past lives of the women
concerned in the shooting. we have
taken pains to hunt up such of the
following facts as we were not already
familiar with.
MRS. JCLIA SUSAN LAKE,
The wounded woman, WAS a native of
Kentucky, aged 80 years; had been
married three times, aud bad five chill
dren. one of whom "a boy died some

two months ago she left this city for
Virginia. SAVERS leaving by stage the
same evening for Reno, where the two
met and proceeded to Stockton. At
the latter place Mrs. Lake assumed
Il fictitious name. Bat in the mean

known to Mrs. SAVERS. who. on re
turning from a three weeks sojOurn in
san Francisco. gave her husband a
lecture about the matter, whereat he
became offended and left. Mrs.
SAVERS took the matter very much to
heart. and came near dying of grief.
Being informed of her dangerous i'll
ness. SAVERS anne owe Ia see her,
leaving Mrs. Lake in stockton, whittier
he returneda few DAYS afterward.
NELSON JAMES SAVERS,
The unfaithful husband. is a native of
Mansfield, Ohio, and is So years of
age. He is a Royal Arch Mason, a
Royal Purple ODD Fellow,an Improv-
ed Red Man. Il Good Templar, a pho
tOeraphic artist and a telegraph oper-
ator. His letters of late date from
Stockton show that he was endeavor-
ing to deceive his wife into the belief
that he was still faithful to her, and
that he would shortly send for her to
meet him at Placerville, where he in
tended she should reside. In the
meantime. however, Mrs. SAVERS WAS
aware of his iutideIity. and knew of
the existing stale of affairs in Stock
ton, or at least had satisfactory evi
dence that he was living with Mrs.
Lake.
r JULIA SANIERS,
Who fired the shots, is a native of
Loray, New York, and is forty years
of age. She has been thrice married
and twice divorced. She was married
to and divorced from Frank Guy
Seely, who for two or three Years has
been living in Treasure City. She
was also married to and divorced
from Aaron J. Spencer, who sub>e-
quently married again n is now re

She was married several years ago TO
SAVERS. in Churchill county, and for
the past three or four years they have
resided ia this city, apparently as
happy as the average of married PEG
pc. She left this city Oh Saturday
last for Lake Bigler, still in poor
health and much troubled in mind.
Remarks %purporting to have been
made by Mrs. Lake about Mrs. SAVERS
and her husband, proved upon her
mind and probably excited her to the
c0amission of the rash act.
