4 Husband ard q Father Tries
TO do some Deadly
Shooting.
He As Arrested and Now ia Cooling
off in Jail.

There was a lively family soene and
a narrow escape from a fearful TRACE
dy in this city Sunday night. An old
man named Colmore Smith is the one
charged with being the aggressive
party. 1t appears that he and his
wife have had considerable trouble
during their married life, and have
separated severed times. 1t is said
that about three years ago he made q
savage attack on his wife, lcutting her
severely With a knife and then skipped
out. This summer no has been here
and at work on the w%aterworks, but
not living with the family. Mrs.
Smith claims that she has been threat.
ened by him many times, and he
has been observed to watch
the house on Grace street with
apparently no good design. The
family lived in fear, which by the oc.
currences of Sunday evening seems
to have been we'll founded.
Mrs. Smiths son.in-law, Sam New
ton, and family, had been visiting at
her house Sunday, and were on their
way home early in the evening, when
in crossing Benton street bridge they
found the old man lying in wait for
them. He sprang at Newton, drew a
revolver, pointed it in his face, saying;
"Well, Sam, we might as well settle
now as any time," and tried to shoot
him. The revolver failed to do his
murderous bidding, and the young mar
who had his baby in his arms r~etreated
at a rapid speed, while The old mar
picked out Mrs. Smith as another
victim, and aiming the revolver at hei
head tried to shoot her, but agar
failed, the revolver refusing to do it,
work. She grabbed the old man.
arm just as he uttered and oath
tossed the revolver away saying, "tht
damned thing won't go. He turned
on her and grabbing her pushed hel
against the side of tho bridge, thump
ing her head against the railing unit
Others Of the family began to CRY
murder" so Justify that he let go anc
started to run.
A colored man named Brown, whC
was coming along the street, cooked
the old mar down and held him unit
Officer Barhyte arrived, who took hin
to Jail.
The failure of the revolver 70 do it
work neems the only thing which pre-
vented a bloody and fatal assault,
Some claim that the revolver snapped
while others explain it's missing fire
by the fact that the old man, in hit
excitement, did not pull the trigger,
but tugged away at the guard arouno
the trigger.
The charge of assault with in
tent to kill was lodged agains,
him, and yesterday afternoon he
appeared in police court for eIamina'
ton. Mr.. Hight, the county attor.
ney, was out OF town and @. II. Scott,
his partner, was reported as sick il
bed. The defendant wanted o con
~tinuance anyway, &c the case wen
over until Saturday morning. Smith
bonds were fixed at $1,000, but no
being able to furnish that amount h,
was taken back to Jail.

To the Editor OF tbs Bss:
In q communication from @. r.
Mitchell in this mornings BEE he SO.
verely censures the fro department
and in doing SO he makes some very
wild and foolish assertions, showing
very plainly that he was writing from
a prejudicia standpoint instead OF
having a strict regard for truth and

that people on upper Broadway reach.

Mr.. Mitchell claims there was no
one in command and that the fremen
told Pat Lacy to Ego too hell" This
is another uncilled for and wilful
falsehood. Chief Templeton was ON the
ground promptly, and did as good
work as could have been done under
the circumstances. Mr.. Lacy gave
no orders, he simply took hold and
worked as hard as any fireman on the
ground. MIR. Lacy has too much con.
tidence in his old assistant, Johnnie
Templeton, to undertake giving orders

I, K. Addy, representing Dutton,
Huntress q Co.,, GAINESVILLE, Wis, is
in the city, introducing TO tho trade
the huntress patent trace buckle, an
invention which oommends itself on
sight to every harness maker, for it's
many advantages. Some Of these are
stated in another column. The buckle
is comparatively new in this section Of
the county, but the Communications 1t
has received In the territory where it
has been in use for three years, and
the wonderful advantages which ap.
pear at a glance, render IL by no
means q difficult task { O secure orders,
and 1t will not be many months be.
fore the buckle will be seen in almost
every shop. 1t has sprung into a large
trade and with a rapidity which Is al
most unparalleled. Dutton, Huntress
d Co., have a good thing, and they
know 1t, and others are fast finding il
out. They also manufacture a patent
whifH e.tree and breast strap hook,
and a trace carrier, which excites the
edmonton of all harness makers. A
harness fitted with these appliances is
- near perfect n a harness can be,
when noe nsed nothing else will take

will soon have some in stock, as will
others in this city and Omaha, and
