KILLED HER HUSBAND.
MT. Hirky. of Colt, Attempts to Bulidoxs
 Ills Wife and ia Shot Down by Her

His Wife and is Shot Down by Her.
 4 fatal tragedy. wherein the homicide was a woman and the victim her hus- band, occurred near Colt Station, eight miles north of Forrest City on the Iron Mountain road. last Wednesday, the 2oth inst. Our information of the un- fortunate occurrence is as follows:
 Mir. and Mrs. Hickey. who resided near Colt. had lived unhappilv together, which finally led to separation. Some time ago ae returned and endeavored 10 effect reconciliation. but she, profit ing by past experience. declined to live with him. X few days ago he again returned, but she still refused his over lures and he trsimped up some sort of charge against her and procured d war rant, issued by Squire k. W. Peevey for her arrest. Disdaining the services of an officer. which was of itself an H. legal proceeding, he went to the house of Il neighbor, d Mir. Morgan, and swors he would serve the warrant or kill his wife. It is supposed intelligence of these threats coming to the ears of Mrs. Hickey, she prepared for her Quondam husbands appearance, and when he came to her house she opened fire upon him. three of the shots taking effect in the region of the heart, producing death instantly.
 It is said that Hickey WAS a dissi- pated. quarrelsome man, very unrea- sonable and brutal when under the in- tluenee of liquor, and 1t is more than probable Mrs. Hickey was entirely justiiiable in her act, terrible as it ap- pears. Just what right Hickey had to attempt the arrest does not appear Mrs. Hickey had not been not been arrested at lates accounts
