From Tombstone the Tucson Record re-
ceives the following particulars Of an at
| tempted murder, caused by affairs so com
| plicated and unusual that in this instance
il may be said, overly, truth is stranger
shan fiction" Some years ago a man by
the name of Galeen married, and taking
his young wife with him, went to Virginia
City, New, to live. As common at first.
their affairs vent ripping as a marriage
bell, and in due tir1e a child was born.
About this juncture, unfortunately, Ga
leen commenced falling into evil company,
and evil ways we're the result. During this
fearful period their child died, and Mrs.
Galeen feeling the last link between herself
and her husband was severed, procured a
divorce. and started out in the world on
her own account. Being young and pretty,
not long afterwards she married again. In
the meantime the Arizona excitement had
broken out. and Galeen, being disencum-
bered, was among the first to take up his
residence in the city with the euphonious
name-Tombstone. Here he not only
made money, but entered into a disrepu-
table connection with II pretty Mexican girl.
After living some time with this girl Ga
leen concluded to return to his old stamp
ing ground, whether from a return of his
old affection and a desire to see his former
wife, who by this time was living apart
| from her second husband, it is not known.
But it matters not what the reason was, he
went, he saw, and conquered, and the lady
a second time procured a divorce, this time
through her first husbands influence, and
| then married him.
OF these events the Mexican girl was ig-
norant, and having on account Of Galeen's
handsome face and figure, probably, be-
| come enamored of him, upon his return
with a wife, endeavored to commit suicide.
This was prevented through the timely in
| reference Of the doctors. Mrs. Galeen,
| however. refused to live with the man who
had betrayed one woman and so shame
fully deceived her.
This left her in a position anything but
enviable, as she was penniless and a strang-
er in a strange land. Here, however, she
made many friends, and among them one
Leslie, and through this acquaintance came
the probably fatal denouement of the affair.
A party coming off in the town. on Tues
day last, Leslie invited Mrs. Galeen to ac-

band, not in the dancing room but looking
at her through an open window. Upon
his face there was an expression which
caused her to fear him, and knowing some
thing of his disposition, she requested Les
lie to take her home. He consented, but
unfortunately, instead of leaving her upon
their arrival he sat down with her at the
door of the hotel. But Galeen, it seems,
followed them, and after they had taken
their seats he fired two shots at Leslie.
one grazing the right cheek and carrying
away the ear upon hat side, and the sec
ond shot cutting lis corresponding com
panion on the other side. Leslie, armed,
jumped to his feet'to return Galeen's fire,
and did it most effectively, as out of the
three shots he fired each took effect, one
in the heart, another back Of the ear, and
the last in the back Of the neck.
A crowd soon gathered. and although
Galeen was badly wounded, he walked some
distance before they took him in charge.
1t is hardly supposed possible that he can
recover.
