WIFE MURDER.
A JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOOTS HIS WIFE
Other MurderOus ARRAYS Last Evening.

ULnet MHPuerOuS Arrays Last EfeuluS.
John Guertner, for long time in the
employ OF Macneal g. Urban, safe manu-
facturers, murdered his wife about
O'Clock last evening.
Gaertner aud his wife on last Satur-
day opened q saloon at the southwest
corner of Bremen and Liberty streets.
He furnished the money, having about
q week ago given his wife $48). Of this
sum she took $40 and purchased the
saloon from man named Humbrecht.
The wife, Barbara Gaertner, whose
maiden name was Pfaf, had the proper
" assigned to her own name. This I'M
bittered her husband, and continual
quarrel between them was the result.
The affair came 10 climax when Mrs.
Gaertner began taking in boarders,
among whom was one named Robert
Hello, who worked with Gaertner. The
latter was OF the opinion that his wife
and Heile were too Intimate. His jeal-
ousy, however, seems to be ill founded,
as ali who knew Mrs. Gaertner regarded
her as strictly virtuous.
Yesterday Gaertner went down town
and bought revolver. He quarreled
frequently during the day with his vile
anu drank considerable liquor in the
various neighboring saloons.
At the aboye-namod time he. came
home and found his wife sewing a shirt
whicn was intended for Heile. He told
