But which wilsonp-A Little Case Of
Domestic Infslicity.
About ~ O'Clock yesterday morning
two revolyers SHOTS were fred near the
corner OF Fourteenth street and Alley
F. that startled people returning from
church and soon drew big crowd. Geo.
s. Wilson was found standing In the
alley with q revolver In his possession,
and said that he had fired at AL. Rose,
who was in his wife's house. Several
other stories were also sfioat, but those
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are given.
Mrs. Wilson said that about ten years
ago she was married to Geo. S. Wilson,
who is at present an engineer on the
Diurnal. At that time she was only
twelve and bali years old, and they
were married at Hardscrsbble. Soon
after their marriage child was born,
and another one has been born sircs.
Both are girls, and are living now, aged
9 and 6 years, and named Annie and
Lottie. For the past six months she
and George had not been living happily
together, he often accusing her OF inf
deity. About q month ago she applied
for a divorce through Capt. Doven.
er, and within the past two weeks
she left the house.she and her husband
had been living in and took up her
abode in alley F. She says that
she received a note from Wilson
saying that he wanted TO see her at
her mothers; that she locked up the
house and taking the children she went
down there. She had been there but a
moment when little boy brought her
word that her house had been broken
into. Going back she found Wilson
who said that he had shot at AL. Rose,
whom he found in the house. Her
question was, show could he be in the
house when i locked it securely ?"
The other side OF the story is thus:
George accuses his wife with cohabiting
with other men. and which by the way
she does not deny. Last night, q week
ago, he went to Capt. Bennett saying
that Rose was with his wife and that the
two started out, but X )se obtained in.
formation that they were coming and
skipped.
Yesterday at the time mentioned,
Wilson went to his wife's house and,
opening the door, saw Rose bend.
ing over a trunk. As soon as
Rose saw him, he procured poker and
started to clean him out. Wilson en-.
deavored to draw revolver from his
pocket but it caught, and thus the first
shot was fired. Rose then left the house
and Wilson fred another shot. About
this time Mrs. Wilson arrived OH the
scene, and then there was a regular
high old time. Wilson sent for police,
and Capt Bennett and Officer Junkins
responded. Mrs. Wilson was arrested,
and Rose was chased once or twice dur
ing the day, but managed to elude the
clutches OF the law.
In the trunk was found q suit OF
clothes belonging 10 Rose, which he
procured later in the day. Mrs. W.
said they belonged to another party, but
refused to say who.
Mrs. w. further said that Wilson was
aware OF the fact that she was, and had
been, cohabiting with other men besides
Rose for several years. She did not
deny the charge OF unfaithfulness to her
husband, and said that she had separated
from him several times, and tried TO keep
away from him, but that he would al
ways hunt her up, Notwithstanding her
conduct toward him.
The affair caused big excitement in
that usually quiet neighborhood, and
was sad affair to occur on any day,
much less the happy Easter time.
Letter in the day Wilson swore out a
! search warrant for the children, who
were with Mrs. Wilson's mother, but it
was learned that before getting them
legally, the court would have 10 be called
on for an ORDER. The police court will
