Suicide.

3 Is
Journal: Sunday afternoon at about
three o'clock at the Ed johnson place
east of the school of mines, tragedy |
was committed which blotted out the
life of one person at least. William
James Saultry, aged about twenty seven
years, a plumber by trade, went to the
residence of @. e. Wheeler, where his |
wife was stopping with her parents, and
began to quarrel with her for being the
day before in the hay fields and return
ing home with a young man. The
young wife, scarcely seventeen, though
married nearly three years, was lying
in an improvised hammock in the front
of the building, disputed the husband
and angry words ensued. Her mother
arose from the porch, and went into the
house to arouse the father OF the young
lady. During her absence Saultry fred
two shots into the body of his wife, and
seeing the mother catch her daughter in
her arms turned the barrel of his 45 cal
ibre Colts revolver to his right temple
and fred, falling dead where he stood
during the firing of the three shots.
Mrs. Saultry was first shot in the side
above the right hip, the bali making two
wounds by going through the side and
striking her right elbow, breaking the
bone. The other passed through the
feshy part of her left thigh. None of
the wounds are dangerous and the lady
viii be up and around in few days.
The entire trouble was caused by
jealousy, and saultry broeded over his
troubles until he committed the rash act
His wife has left him several times, but
always returned after promises being
made by him. The Wheelers state that
their daughter left him last time for nom
support, as he had not provided any
thing for some time for her to eat, and
fearing starvation she was compelled to
leave her home and return to her par
ents. This is not the case, as Saultry
always provided well for his family as
a large number of merchants here can
testify, and only one day last week q
short time before his wife returned to
her parents, Saultry sent large bill oi
groceries to his home on west Rapid
} street.
There were only two eye witnesses te
the tragedy, the twelve and eight yea
old sisters Of Mrs. Saultry, and though
young, both told straight story OF thu
affair before the coroner's jury yester
day.
