CHASTITY sight greeted those who had col.

neck and hands. and literally covered
with blood. A man was holding a wo-
man by one hand, while cutting ct her
with u knife held in tho other. and In u
moment he was disarmed by some OF
the bystandors, AMI was taken 10 the

Mrs. Hutchinson evidently intended to

Mrs. Hutchison consulted District At

manner. Hutchison is nm uncle to
Mrs. Lewis. who in her statements OF the
affair to the reporter Of the Appeal show

Hutchinson moved to Carson about four
months ago. intending, we believe. to
remain away from Hutchison. and since
then has avoided him as much a. posi-.

when 1t was rumored that his wife was

is not a mob town.
Mrs. Hutchinson last evening was com

very painful. they are not considered by
the attending surgeon as necessarily 70.
