however Is quite uncertain. many in the

George Roe was a poor mechanic at Nor
folk, Va. He and young lady of wealth and
fashion fell in love with each other. Her
parents forbade her to marry him, but she
did 1t, and went to live with him In a very
humble home, declaring that she could be as
contented there as though surrounded by
luxury. But she found poverty hard to bear,
and her growing discomfort was observed
with alarm by her husband. During the holi-
day season, she missed the social festivities
to which she had been accustomed, and grew
fretful. The husband thought that a new

asked why he was wanted, and the man
Hawleyl said "'Neyer mind, / want
you" Bolts did not understand the
game, and said : well, I've got to see

that Bolts started around the corner,
and Hawiey, following closely, ran on
to Bolts. who pushed the detective
aside aud ran ahead. Then Hawley

Bolts in the side, just above the hip
bone, and ranging downward. Not
withstanding the wound. Bolts climbed
a fence and hid In a water closet until
some one informed Hawley OF his
whereabouts. Bolts had not returned
the FIRE at all.
Bolts was taken to the Office Of the
Rocky Mountain detectives. and TO
moved TO Jail In the evening. Pre-
vionsly, however, Bolts says Hawle,
went through him and took ~ 90 In
money, n revolver (which was concealed
In his boot, a gold shirt stud, two
pocket knives, and n watch case.
Yesterday morning Bolts asked Haw
ley to restore the two revolver, thu
money and other things, but Hawle,
refused ; hence Hawley is a little ahead
on the arrest. However, Hawley gav'
