MH. George Sherer made II complaint
before Judge Lee yesterday, charging her
husband, George Sherer, with threaten
ing her life and disturbing the peace. A
warrant was issued for his apprehension
and given to an officer, who started out to
make the arrest. The story of Mrs.
Sherer is highly interesting and not all
favorable to the character and reputation
of her husband.
Some three years since they were mar
red and for some time lived together. At
first all was as peaceful and serene as the
married life portrayed for the perfect hero
and heroine by the imaginative novelist.
At length the proverbial cloud, no bigger
than the tabled hand, appeared above the
domestic horizon. Mrs. Sherer found her
life partner shiftless and lazy. He failed
toeprovide for her or for himself, and as a
natural consequence, she had to support
both. At the time of their marriage she
was possessed ola considerable share of
this worlds goods. Owing to the fact
that her husband was a consumer and not
a producer, she saw her small fortune
rapidly disappear. Things went from
bettertO worse, and she determined to leave.
Whether she took this step before she
came to Cheyenne, cannot be learned. At
at any rate, before the climax in the do
nestle drama was reached, they had sep
arated.
Yesterday her husband found her at
Mrs. Downey's, on Fifteenth street. He
wanted her to accept him again
as her protector and guardian through
the remaining portion of her life's journey.
She refused-and insisted that she was
able to support and protect herself and
would not be the means of his mainten-
anee. George at length became excited.
He was determined that she should ac-
cept him, and after making further en-
treaties determined to try force. He
drew a knife Of excessive proportions and
prepared to carry war into Africa. He
vowed that she should live with him or
die. Mrs. Sherer, however, did not pro
pose to do either. She fed from him
and came up town.
Here she told her story TO several par
ties and they advised her to have the
bloodthirsty George arrested. She sought
Judge Lee, made the complaint and OBJ
tanned the warrant as above narrated.
The warrant wa placed in Nolan's
hand, and he started out to make the ar
rest. 1t had been stated that George was
at his wife's domicle awaiting her return
with a loaded pistol. However. he was
not found there. Late in the afternoon
he was seen to ascend the stairs leading
to Judge Lees office. Nolan at that
time was near the City hall. He did not
know Sherer, but suspected him to be the
one he was seeking. He started after and
found that it was Sherer and that he had
been making inquiries for his wife.
Sherer was at this time in the neighbor-
hood of Graham saloon, on the corner
Of Seventeenth and Themes streets. The
officer Immediately started after him but
has not yet succeeded in capturing his
man.
Late this evening Sherer was arrested
and lodged in the City hall. He made
no statement concerning the matter and
only asked who made the complaint upon
which he was arrested. His examination
will probably take place to-day.
