Singleton street, arm in arm with Mrs Kate
Tevis the young and attractive wife of Mr..
Rush TT Tevis, Mr.. Frank Iglehart, one
of the most prominent business and
society young men of St. Leuis, who stood
and still stands deservedly high in the
estimation of the people generally, was
shot down by the injured husband His
wounds which were principally in one of
his arms are not mortal but Iglehsrt
suffers the most excruciating pain.
Mr.. Iglehart, who is nephew of the
late Thomas J. Bartholomew. is gentle
man who has been well and favorably
known in St. Louis from his youth up
For a long time he was prominently
of Bartholomew, Lewis IL Co, but

an ARGUS representative had an interview
with a first cousin of MS, Mr. E. K. lyle
hart, of M. r. & E. K. Iglehart. marble
dealers of this city, aud who are among our
most respected business men, While not
very communicative, and properly anxious
to avoid anything bordering on the sensa-
tional, MIR. Iglehart confirmed the report
of near kinship. He said that owing to i'll
health Frank had spent much of his time
in Europe of late years. and that he was
perfectly dumbfounded at the extravaganza

lieved that when the facts should come

of a siren respecting i'll treatment at home
and in advising her respecting the future,

Mr.. Frank Iglehart. the victim
of woman's deceit passion
and caprice is thus far averse to discussing
the shooting, but is evidently anxious to
shoulder all of the blame. Il don't mind

The lady in the case. of the type known
as ''red blonde, is 81 years of age, but
does not look over 30. !. She has been mar
ried four years and has little girl
of three years. Her husband is
connected with the well-known dry goods
