a scandal has been brought to light by
a shooting aflray which occurred on Tues
day night in front Of house on Singleton
street. The shooter was an injured hus-
band. The target was his wife's be
trayer, who for three hours had been
closeted with her in the house, the
wronged husband in the meanwhile being
on the outside with detective awaiting
their appearance. When they appeared
the husband fired and the bullet bit his
wife's companion in the arm and he fell to
the ground. The husband then pointed
the revolver at the PROSTATE mans
breast, but before hc could fire another
shot the detective had disarned him.
Then the husband left his wife with her
companion and with the detective jumped
into buggy aid drove rapidly away, and
she supported the injured man, helped
him arise, and then hailins a carriage,
accompanied him to his home.
The actors in this affair are Mr.. and
Mrs. Rush Tevis, Mr.. Frank Iglehart and
a private detective. Mrs. Tevis is lady
well known in st. Louis society. She isa
niece of General Sherman, tho commander
in chief of the army, and Of the late Su-
preme Court Judge Samuel +. Reber.
Her father, Colonel Reese, is now in the
regular army, but is at present in st.
Louis. Tho lady is quito young, with an
exceedingly attractive and intelligent face.
She docs not look to he moro than twenty
years old, and she has been the centre Of
a very light circle in St. Lonis for several
years. About four years ago nhe was mar
,icl to Mr.. Rush Tevis, son of John G..
Tevis. an old and respected citizen of ST.
Lou's, and at present an employee :n Tie
Wholesale dry goods house of Cro". Har-
dine & Co. Every ono who knew them
supposed that their homo Oh Leonard
street was very happy one. Airs. Tevis
seemed to bo thoroughly contented and
altogether wrapped up in her baby, now a
bright little girl of three years. For some
time past, however, there has been cool
hess between herself and her husband.
MIS-. Tevis cOnfided to a friend last week
that her husband had been very much an
had received \ couple of days before and
that ho had been to see private detective
about the mater. Sbo seemed to be very
much troubled about it. Tevis, however,
appeared to DO satisfied and tho matter
was dropped.
Mrs. Tcvis mot Iglehart at the house on
Singleton street, and while he needed her
help after tho assault she was as brave as
Z liOness. She held him up and did
all that lay in her power or wit to sOOthe
his agony. But once in her carriage she
gave way to her grief, and after Iglehart
had been taken TO his homo sho went to
Eer father. lie could not at first realize
what it was the sobbing woman was try
ing to tell him, and when he did under
stand It and felt that his daughter was
testifyins against herself, his first impulse
was for vengeance, but he soon realized
that there was no ono upon whom VEN
geancc could be taken: There was nothing
for the lady and those who loved her to
do but to remain silent.
She had an interview with her husband.
The two families met and discussed the
whole situation as cody as such matter
could be discussed by tho principles. 1t
was agreed that tho husband and wife
must separate, and legal steps looking
towards that event will bc begun at once.
Judge Madiil has been retained to repre-
sent Mrs. Tevis, and it is said that peti.
tion for divorce will DO filed by the hus-
band and not contested by the wife. Col.
Reese and his daughter will leave the city
in a day or two.
