domestic drama Of the Kimball. Shinn
type which occurred there. Owing
to the lateness OF the hour at
which it happened the gossips OF the gulch

children. Martin is employed as

bed and board with Mrs. Martin for about

OF b~oarders, and among them is Jack
Mcintyre, who own q saloon on East
Park street. Mcintyre is a likely young
fellow and Mrs. Martin 10 a buxom young

share Of good looks. Martin has
had his jealous passions aroused for some
time, and, as last nights developments 60

actions, although this fact, seemingly, was
Shortly before h~alf-past twelve O'Clock
last night, Mcintyre retired to his bed in a

been, but was watching the house which erst-
while he called home, and saw him through
a window. Instantly the irate husband
was at the front door and with a. vigorous
rushed in upon the astonished

fired one shot but missed Mcintyre. They
grappled and Martin began using his pistol

she pulled q revolver rom her pocket and

Martin. Seeing that he had two instead
OF one person to dea with, Martin beat a
retreat and ran down town aud gave him
self into the custody OF Officer Lennon,
saying that he thought he had killed a
man, and was placed in jail.
Az soon as possible after her husband
had gone Mrs. Martin relighted the lamp
and found Mcintyre lying on the floor,
near the dining o table. bleeding like
the traditional ''stuck pig" She aroused
one OF the neighbors and hastened him
after q doctor and a policeman. The
messenger found Officer James and told
him what had occurred. The officer
aroused DIR. Todd, and with the messenger,
accompanied the doctor to the house
where the supposed dying man was.
A MINER reporter also went
at the house they found
Mcintyre lying upon an improvised bed on
the dining room floor, while Mrs. Martin
was tenderly bathing his head and attempt

ugly wound which he had in the rear OF the
skull, while every few moments she asked

With the assistance OF Officers Waters
and Rodda, who by this time had also ar.

to his bed and the doctor dressed the
cracked Uranium. and also made sundry re-
pairs to "Jack's" left arm, which, too, had
been more or less damaged in the scufie.
Mrs. Martin seemed to take matters very

the officers she said that her only regret
was that "Jack" did not have q pistol so
that he could have fixed" Martin.
Mcintyre will recover, as the wounds he
received about the head, made by Martins

prove dangerous.
To ORcer Lennon Martin stated that he
found Mrs. Martin and Mcintyre in the
same bed and that she began to shoot at
him as soon as he entered, and that he; did
not use his pistol only 70 strike Mcintyre

loaded wheo he gave it up to the officer
and the latter says that he examined the
pistol thoroughly and is satisfied thai it
has not been discharged for some time.
