They Kissed and Made Up.

ST. LOUIS, June 20.-Some months
ago the country was startled by the
announcement that Rush Tevis had
shot Frank T. Iglehart for seducing
his wife-startled because the wife
was she niece Of General W. I. Sher-
man and the daughter Of H. B.
( Reece. Of the United States Army.
4 The scandal had been lost sight of,
and nothing more would have been
thought OF the matter but that to-
dav news reached here that Teyis
had remarked his wife in Philadel-
phia on the 10th inst. The particu-
lars Of their highly sensational es-
arrangement last winter, the shooting
of Frank Inglehart, and the subse'
ouent divorce were well known here,
hence the news created an immense
amout of gossip.
Since the affair Mrs. Tevis has iiv-
ed quietly and in a model manner
with friends at Philadelphia. Tevis
could not overcome his love for her
and made oyertures for a reconcilia-
tion. to which she was not 10th to
Weld, having seemingly forgotten
her lover. The influential relations
of the wife used every effort to bring
about the remarriage, which was
strictly private and kept from the
press. Mrs. Tevis had mourned
much for her little girl, who has
been ia the fathers charge. The
shooting which precipitated the
scandal in the case took place on the
2Sth O! November last. Late in the
afternoon a well dressed lady trip
ped down the steps of the Tank
House, a notorious place kept by
Madame Durant, at LAG Single st.
The lady was accompanied by q
Young man. After the two had left
the house they were accosted by two
grim looking men, one Of whom was
the husband Of the lady. The latter
fired, the ball striking the woman's
escort on the left arm. He fell to
the sidewalk, and the husband lev
eled his pistol to fire again when he
was dragged down by his compan-
ion, who was a private detective.
The wounded man was placed in a
hack and taken to a house on Wash
ing-on avenue, from which place he
was removed to the st. Luke's Hos
pital. whore be remained until two
months ago recovering from his
wound. The man who did the shoot
ing was Rush II. Teyi5 and the wo'
man was his wife. The man who
was shot was Mr.. Frank Inglehart, a
gentleman well known IA St. Louis.
The detective was Abe Grimes. A
divorce was secured some months
aiterward. Mrs. Teyis is quite young,
is a handsome blonde with splen-
did figure and engaging manners.
General w. T. Sherman has long
thought of coming to ST.. Louis to
settle down, but was prevented by
the prominent figure which his niece
cut in the Tevis-Inglehart scandal,
Now that that affair has been patch
ed up the General viii come, a dis
patch received to-day from Wash
iDgton by St. Louis paper, read
ing General Sherman and family
leave their home forever to-day, and
after a few months recreation in the
mountains and at the seaside will
take up their residence for the re,
mainder of their lives at st. Louis. "
General Sherman said in talking OF
the change that there were many
reasons for their attachment to St.
Louis. Aspecial motive with Mrs.
Sherman was that they have two
children buried in Calvary Cemetery
and they have many warm and de-
voted friends there. He had been
identified more or less With st. Louis
since 1913. He had been thoroughly
/ identified with the Lucas and Tur-
ners, two of the oldest families in
I St. Louis. In 1853 he was an active
partner in the banking house of Lu'
cas-, Turner & Co., in San Francisco
He had bought property in that part
Of the city known as the "Stoddard
addition, early in the SOS and still
owns some of II. He had returned
to St. Louis just on the eve Of the
war and accepted the Presidency OF
the Fifth Street Railway. All this
time he had maintained cordial re-
lations with the people, and there
were scores of houses where be
would be just as welcome as he
would be in his own.
