Killed by His Mistress.

DENVER. Nov. "a little over a
year ago Samuel Stolling came here
from Chicago with his wife and
young woman ua7 ed Lucy Swarthouse.
The three have been occupying apart
ments at 952 Santa Fe avenue and
Stolling has been maintaining the
Swarthouse woman as his mistress
against the protests OF the wife, who is
sickly and unable TO assert her rights.
Miss Swarthouse has often said that If
StOlling returned to his wife she would
Kill him. He has been talking OF doing
SO for several days past, and tonight
while he was in the room with the
woman violent quarrel took place be-
tween the two, n revolver was fired,
the ball passing through the mans
head, causing instant death. The wife
who was in the front room hurried into
the room where the shot was fired to
find her husband dead and hear Miss
Swarthouse say: Sam killed himself"
The man and woman must have fought
desperately for when Stolling's body
was examined at the coroner's it was
found that his right les was broken in
two places. The wound IN the head is
such as would be almost impossible for
q man tn inflict upon himself and the
conclusion is that the mans mistress
murdered him. She is under arrest.

few days since, this was equalled by a
second performance.
Ones feeling of establishment at such
a feat is enormously heightened when
