to tragedy perpetrated IN this city in
May, 1887, occurred to-day in the arrest of
Michael LebOld at Moscow, Idaho, by
Chief of Police Warren, of Spokane Falls,
on the charge of numbering Thomas Fall
len. Lebold was tending bar for Fallen at
the Montana Exchange Saloon, and an
intimacy sprang up between the gay young
compounder and the proprietor's handsome
wife. Fallen frequently demonstrated with
his wife for her indiscretion, and one even
ing he was found dead with bullet hole
through the head Murder was suspected
at the time, but the coroner's jury pro-
nounced it suicide. A few days later Le-
bold and the widow were married and
went to California, where she suddenly
died. Chief Warren has had him under
espionage for more than a year, and has
lately obtained proof sufficient to justify
an arrest. He came TO Washington vOlun-
tarily without a regulation.
