THEGREEN-EYED MONSTER.
A woman i'm it-AIrrcd Jordan shoots
Charlie Rowe

At a late hour Saturday night there was
shooting near the fair grounds, the
parties to it being two negro men, one named
Charlie Rowe aad the other Alfred Jordan,
the latter infcting wound in the lstter's
mouth with small shot from pocket
pistol.
1t appears that they were both ensmored
of dusky dsmsel living in small frame
house near the Texas Il Pacific railway
track, and that both had been devoted lovers
for some time past, but Rowe, at last get
ting the inside track, blasted all Of Jordan's
fondest hopes, and the inevitable green-eyed
monste jealousy, which never fails to put in
an appearance at this stage of the game,
took possession of him and wrought him up
to such pitch that he determined to have
his opponents blood, and he informed the
girl, whose name is Martha Wiley, of his in
tention, and she, becoming alarmed at the
threatening aspect of affairs, warned Moore,
but he paid NO attention to it, treating ii AS
an idle threat. But he
was mistaken in this, Tor
Saturday night while he was sitting talking
to his intended, Jordan rushed into the house
unnannounced and fired at him, the ball
taking effect in the roof of his mouth, knock
ing out in its passage several of his teeth,
handsome specimens of ivory. So soon rs
he had fred the shot he off and has not
been seen or heard of Ince. The wound,
though painful, was nc serious, and the ball
which was embedded the flesh was readily
extracted. Rowe is il the employ of Captain

The Game Fniled To Work.

Yesterday a young man attired ''shabby
genteel" rang the door-bell at the residence
of Mr.. Alex Sanger, on Ervsy street, and
when the servant answered the call he
handed him a note, addressed to Mrs. Sen.
ger. 1t purported to be from her husband,
and said: "Giye the bearer a suit of my old
clothes" and was signed "a. Sanger, per j.
f." There was something about the note
and the appearance of the man that aroused
her suspicious and she resorted to the teie-
phone which connects with the store
which is mile distant, and on her interro-
eating her husband he answered that he had
not sent her any such note. She endeavored
to hold the tramp until policeman could
arrive, but the man evidently understood i
for he took his leave, saying he would call
again, but he did not.

Fort Mcleod and Fort Benton says the In
dams of the Milk River district are reported
in most deplorable condition, literally
starving, owing to the scarcity of game, the
Sioux, under Sitting Bull, holding the
buffalo grounds an. preventing tribes
friendly to the whites on both sides
of the line from securing gene, hence the
want Of food among the Greeks, Bloods,
Blackfeet and Peigans. The Sioux have
followed the buffalo into American territor-
les in spite OF the efforts of the mounted
police 10 keep them this side the lines
and commit depredstiops on American
travellers over the plains. They desire
other tribes to join them, and thus form
a powerful alliance, holding it much bet
ter to die fighting than TO starve in
death. The plan is said to be to plumber
and rob whites whenever possible. 1t il
thought highly probable that the Greek:
and Bloods will join the Sioux, in which case
there will undoubtedly be trouble, but hos
tilites are likely to be leveled against Ameri
can folders, and not those on our own terri
tory, although no telling what might happen
if they once got started.

pomestic Tragedy.

Wheeling, W. Va, May 24.-Yesterday
afternoon, at 5 o'clock, domestic tragedy
took place alta farm house two miles back of
Powhattan, Ohio, which caused considerable
excitement in that usually quiet neighbor-
hood, Warren Robinson, the victim, and his
wife, Ella Jane Robinson, the murderess,
having been living together for the past two
years very unhappily, the result of ieal-
ousy on the part of the husband, who
accused his wife of bostowing her favors
too freely on several neighboring farmers.
Mrs. Robinson always resented these
charges, claiming that they were without
foundation,and frequently vowing if he didn't
desist from making them she would kill him.
Yesterday afternoon, as she was sitting in the
house, her husband came in and asked for the
ax. She replied that she did not know where
ii was. A dispute then arose, when Robin
son caught his wife by the hair and was
beating her in the face, when the chill
dren interfe, cd and succeeded in pulling
Robinson out of the house. Robinson made
an attempt TO get back into the house
Mrs. Robinson, smarting under the blows
given her, was endeavoring to get away from
her children, who We're holding her back, to
open the door. Robinson finally succeeded
in effecting an entrance to the house, and
hardly stepped across the threshold when
Mrs. Robinson, breaking away from her
children, pulled revolver from her bosom
and fired Mt him, the ball taking effect in
Robnson's breast, above the heart, death re-
sulting in five minutes from internal bemor-
rhage. Mrs Robinson was arrested and com.
mitted to the county-jail at ST. Clairsville To
answer for the crime.
