Tried to Murder His Wife.

A great deal of excitement was created in
Superior by a shooting ARRAY, which
included a jealous husband, his wife and
defender. The particulars of the affair are
as follows: Some weeks g Mrs. Richard
Collins left her husband and made her home
with the family of James Meyers. Recently
q party, including the Meyers family and Mrs.
them, and upon the grounds was a constant
source of threatening to kill her il
she danced and making many other
threats. Upon returning home the
party was again followed by Collins. He
went into the house where the ladies were
seated, drew his revolver, and, aiming it ut
the breast of his wife fred. Meyers having
apprehended trouble, anticipated this move
ment and dashed the pistol downward, the
bullet passing through Mrs. Collins's right
leg and
NEARLY THROUGH H LEE X
. Collins then fred Upon Meyers, but with
out effect. The two men grappled and
Meyers, freeing his right hand, pressed his
own revolver to Collins head and fired,
the bullet INJECTING q severe scalp
wound. He then tried to shoot again
but the cartridge failed to ex-
plode. In spite of his wound, Collins still
endeavored to shoot Meyers and doubtless
would have accomplished his purpose but
for the arrival of two men who were at
tracted to the scene by the shooting and
succeeded in overpowering Collins. Meyers
held to appear at the end of thirty days in
81 900 bonds. The bullet was extricated
from Mrs. Collins legs. 1t was found to be
almost wrapped up in the muslin which it
carried with it in passing through her gar
ments.

Crops are suffering for rain very
badly and if we don't have rain
soon corn will be cut off to a great
extent.
Road working is the order of the
day; we can boast of the best pub
lie road in the county under the su-
pervision of W. j. Roden.
The ice cream supper at Tarpley's
on the 9th was one of the grandest
affairs of the season. There was a
very large crowd in attendance, and
some splendid music and part of the
crowd enjoyed themselves dancing.
We learn that there was a good
amount realized.
Prof. Underwood's school closed
the 9th with several visitors pres
ent to witness the test for the gold
pen as prize to the one making
the greatest Improvement, which
Ira Tarpley, jr., won. This speak,
well for the young man in such {
large crowd.

of the congressional executive com
mittee, and along with this is the
special call of the Giles county
member of that committee, Mr.
Flournoy Rivers, setting out the
manner and time OF holding this
election. AS the calls appear
printed there are two mistakes.
First the convention meets at Co
lumb ia, not at Centreville.' 1t was
first called to set at Centrevllle but
this action was reconsidered and
Columbia was named as the place
The second mistake is that The
Giles county delegates are called tt

should be August 9th, as the ON Ii
