An officer was approached yester-
day by married woman and asked
TO arrest her husband on the CHARGE
OF stealing horses. The officer sens,
bly, told her be would not make the
arrest unless she made proper COM
plant and secured warrant
Behind this there is a story and q
good messenger has brought it to the
TINES. The couple are we'll known
on Wood River. Their names are
not given now, because the TIMES be.

or is likely to be, before a court. II
suppresses the names, therefore, and
gives an outline of the facts, which
may serve good purpose for some
body.
The business that the man had
oeen following proved rather dull,
and he aud his wife concluded it
would be good plan to procure a
team and some goods and take a ped
ding trip. A span of horses we're
purchased and partly paid for, the
goods packed safely in the wagon, and
the couple started. They got as far
as Rocky Bar, when the seller of the
horses overlook them and stated he
had become uneasy about the part of
the price of the horses yet unpaid. A
discussion ensued, and a quarrel fol-
lowed, resulting in fight and badly
bruised head for the husband.
This unexpected experience in the
peddling business induced the loving
couple to retrace their way, and they
headed for a Wood River town. On
the way back they arrived about dark,
or earlier, at camping place where
there was house, used in part as a
whisky mill, and kept by better
looking man than the husband at
least since he got his hoad cracked.
The actions of the ebetter looking
man" and Of the partner of the man
with the cracked head aroused in the
latter's breast the green-eyed monster
of jealousy, and he proposed to his
now happy spouse to quit that place
and move off few miles farther down
the river and camp for the night. The
spouse could not see it in that light.
The husband repeated the PROPOSE
ton, using, SO far as words could do
it, his authority as a husband. 1t was
no good the madam could not vet
see it. Finally jealousy so enraged
the man that he drove off several
miles, leaving his wife behind him at
the house(? she was SO captivated
with.
How he and she passed the night,
the messenger who tells the TIMES
did not say; but when morning came
the husband hitched up and drove
alone to the Wood River town. He
arrived there safe, sound and alone.
Late Wednesday night, or rather
about four o'clock Thursday morning,
the faithful and loving wife came
slowly limping into the town, barely
able to make her walking machinery
work. What happened between that
hour and the middle forenoon is not
known to the TIMES but when the
officer left the town the faithful but
nearly foundered spouse was looking
for an officer to get warrant for the
arrest of the "hubby," upon the charge
of stealing her horses.
The warrant, at this writing, has not
been served, but it is believed that
since her nights experience at the
camping house, and the fourteen mile
walk next day, that faithful individual
will see the jealous 'hubby'' securely
corraled with Charley Furey, and then
have opportunity, if she wants to try
the business of peddling alone, to be
free to camp at night where she wishes
to. How beautifully run the streams
of some married people in this ''Gem
of the Mountains!
Most Excellent.
