4 MOrsel Of Domestic "Esetsey
and Are Out for the
GOsSipS.

About II a. m. yesterday it was whis-
pered around on the streets that do
nestle broil had taken place in one of
the best known families occupying a
prominent place i'll our social circle. An
EXAMINER reporter started out to learn
he truth of the report and found that
dispute had really taken place, but there
we're a dozen reports as to the extent
md origin of it. The affair occurred
between DIR. w. A. Curry and his
wife. well-known as Mrs. Telephus
Johnson. Parties who were supposed to
know something of the nature of the
affair were visited, and the following
information CLEANED: A colored man
came rushing up to the courthouse and
told Deputy Sheriff George Oglesby that
DR.. Curry was killing Mrs. Curry. The
officer started for the house on a run,
and when he got to Mrs. Hayes house
heard the screams. When he got to the
top of the steps he found the door
closed but unlocked, and entered. In
the hall he saw Mrs. Curry lying on the
floor holding ON to baluster of the
| basement stair-ralling and screaming, at
| the same time using her other hand to
motion DIR. Curry, who was standing near
/ her away When the officer stepped in
DIR. Curry entered Il room and the
officer followed and placed him under
arrest. Officer Bell stepped in a
few minutes afterward and Oglesby
turned Dr. Curry over to him and as
sisted Mrs. Curry up to a room, where
she lay down to recover from the shock.
After DR.. Curry was brought up town

he had been informed that the charge
against him would be aggravated as
sault. He, however, did not make the
bond in the time the officer had to de-
vote to him, and was taken to
Jail, where he remained for about
half an hour. Messrs. John Marshall
and NJ. a. Cooper, learning that he was
in Jail, signed a 5000 bond and he was
released. In reference to the troubles,
which, if reports be true, have been
going on for some time, We were i'll
formed that it first grew out of property
matters. At their marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Curry subscribed to a contract that
each should retain control of their indi,
vidual property, collect all incomes from
it and have as their agents whom the!
pleased. There were no witnesses to the
, contract, and shortly after marriage it is
/ claimed that DR.. Curry commenced tC
make contracts in reference to renting
Mrs. Curry's property, collecting
rents, etc This led to an unpleasant
state of affairs, which seem to have beeI
growing worse ever since or, as wa.
was aptly said, the GOODNESS kept get
ting hotter Some days ago the Curry
side SAYS that Mrs. Curry removed from
4 the room of DR.. Curry, occupied by hin
; and his children, the bedding on which
they slept, leaving only the bare springs
For several days he slept as best as he
could until at last he found the mattres!
and other bedding and brought 1t bacl
to the room. For some time past Mr.
and Mrs. Curry have not visited eacl
: others room, and, according to him
have not been friendly. Yes
terday morning DR.. Curry state
I that Mrs. Curry entered his room, anC
/ walking up to the bed undertook t
take the pillows away. He pulled on,
' from her hand, threw it back on the bed
and he placed his hand on il to proven
her taking 1t away. About this time, he
claims, she made vigorous effort to ge
e something and struck him on the head
4 He then got behind her and pushed he
l from the room through the door into
I the hall. after which she tried to return
but he got the door shut before she go
+. inside. whereupon she fell over in the
hall and commenced screaming
and continued to until the Officer
He claims that he and his children have
: been doing their own cooking for some
time. and Mrs. Curry has treated then
. very badly. From the other side of the
house. II is stated that DR.. Curry haC
/ continued to NEEDLE with his wife,
, property affairs, had treated her I'M

and would lock her IN and then e
away. Her side states that yesterda.
morning she went in his room to &c
f some pillows which belonged to her, ant
e DR.. Curry refused to let her have them
. and when she persisted he took hold o
