ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Frank Judie Fires Six Shots and Wounds
 His Wife.

followed by woman calling for pro-
 lection, and crying out that her hus-
 band was trying to kill her. It was
 soon found that the woman who was
 being pursued was Mrs. JUdie, and
 that her pursuer was her husband
 Frank. One of the six shots fired struck the woman in the upper arm.
 close to the shoulder. breaking the
 bone. but how serious the fracture is
 not yet known.
 The husband. after committing the
 ccwardly deed. took his way to the
 Hume. where he was arrested by
 Deputy Sheriff Hovey, assisted by Tom Bridges. Mr. Hovey in making
 the arrest, gave another exhibition of his wonderful nerve. for which he
 is famous in this section. Upon ap-
 preaching Judie. in company with
 Harry Simpson. the desperate man
 threw down on them a siX-shooter at
 full cock and warned them away. say
 ing that he would kill the first man
 that attempted to arrest him. The
 officer cOoly talked to him and said he
 would go and see how badly his wife
 was hurt, providing Judie would wait for him, which was promised. The officer then went away. and summon ! ed moro assistance. after which he returned to the man. accompanied by Bridges. He then got up on the Hume and engaged Judie in conversation. while Bridges stood near with cock ed pistol held behind him. The of ficcr, while talking, and with the gun at full cock pointed at him, gradually worked nearer Judic, and when with in reaching distance suddenly grabbed the pistol and turned it away just as the hammer fell. The man then sur rendered without further trouble and was locked up in the jail.
 From an interview with the unfor- tunate woman, the following particu- lars are gleaned: The trouble with her husband commenced three years ago while they were living st Bisbee. at which time he commenced to abuse aud beat her. This continued up to the present day at intervals whenever he drank, and during a residence at Georgetown, Silver City and other places. Finally she concluded to leave him and went to Lordsburg. where she has an uncle named Madi- gan. Her husband followed and begged Mrs. Judie to live with him again, which she finally agreed to do, being further urged by her uncle.
 They came to Clifton, where her husband. who is 8 painter and plas- terer, has been working at odd jobs. 1. his wife assisting in the support of the family by doing sewing.
 Everything was going along nicely ! until three days ago, when Judie . again commenced drinking and . abusing his wife. She stood it until 1 last night, a: which time he called her shameful names in the presence of wis itorS, when she rebelled and told him she would live with him no longer. Fearing that her husband would re- turn and do her harm she took refuge in neighbor's house. return- ing to her own home this morning. About 10 o'clock this morning Judie made his appearance at the house and demanded his clothes, which Mrs. Judie and her daughter proceeded to gather together. He then walked through into the kitchen and return- ing again commenced to call his wife foul names. at the same time drawing a pistol. At first sight of the weapon Mrs. Judie started to run and her hus- band to fire. His first shot missed the woman through his arm being grabbed by another woman who was present. and his second shot also went wide of its mark through the inter- ference of his little daughter. who caught h'm about the arms. The poor woman continued to fly and the hus- band to pursue and shoot. She ran into Mir. Weaver's house. but finding that there was no lock on the door she sped out the back door and to the house at present occupied by Mrs. Torrance. Just as she turned the cor ner to run to the rear of the house her pursuer fired the shot which struck her. She ran into canvass kitchen. and attempted to enter the house pro- per. but the door being locked her
