had been there about half an hour
when Sands came. l opened the door.
Sands came in and asked il Belle was
there. l told bim would call her. l
went out and he followed me ont. She
said she would be there I'm a minute, and
when che came he began talking to her
about being there.
He wanted to know how ehe came up
there in that house. He told her it was
bad place to be and ne had told her
never to come to that house. stepped
out and touched his arm and told him
not to have any trouble there.
We got to tussling and both grabbed
each other. Belle was standing right
there. He caught hold of me by the
shoulder and said, ''I'll kill you, you
E. b." He ran his hand in his bip
pocket. He had hold of me by his left
hand at the time.
When he ran his hand in his pocket
shot him. | did go because l thought
he was trying to take my lite. l had
heard of threats that he would take my
life.
After he sat down by the fence went
into the room to see who was there.
George Carpenter came and went back
with him to the lot. / said that we had
better get him into the house, and |
think George Carpenter and | helped
him in. got shirt for him to put on,
and we were preparing to dress his head

Belle Oden, Grant Douglass and took
him home. Twas there when they took
the things out of his pocket, but did
not zee the knife.
On cross.examination the defendant
said some people called him Smith at
Sedalia. 1t was his half sisters name.
He changed il to Kingford when he got
old enough to know that Smith was not
his name. Lizzie Stillwell was not
keeping the bouse when he was there,
on New High street. She was rooming
there. He paid rent for part of the
house.
During the argument Mr.. McComas
laid stress on the fact that the testimony,
as he remembered it, showed that at
the time the shot was fred the quarrel
had stopped and Belle Oden was be-
tween the men. Mr.. Grant said he mis-
quoted the testimony, and the whole
testimony was finally read by the off,
cial stenographer.
The jurv retired at 4:30 o'clock, and
about q 80 O'Clock returned with ver-
dict of not guilty, when the defendant,
who was greatly elated over the result,
was discharged.

ALLEGES A CONSPIRACY.

r. G. Guirado Says His Wife's Affec-
tions Were Alienated.
Quite sensational complaint was
filed in the county clerks Office yester-
day as the beginning of damage suit
which will bring out some very racy
testimony if it comes to trial.
The complaint is filed by R. G. Gui-
RADIO Of this city against Edward Schieff
lin and Mrs. Jane Schiefflin. 1t alleges
that the plaintiff married Mics Eliza
beth Jane Schieff1in, daughter of Mre.
Jane Schieflin, in the city, December
29, 1884,
After the marriage and up to January.
1888, the marriage was pheasant, affa-
BILE and loving" to use the language of
the complaint. January 1, 1888, the
defendante are alleged to have conspired
by line of cslumnies, inuendoes and
vltuperatione to wean and ALLEVIATE her
affections from the plaintiff and her ac-
tions towards him became ''cod, re-
lentless and cruel at times" again using
the words OF the complaint.
The plaintiff says that he at various
times succeeded in reconciling his wife
to him and each time the defendants re-
snmed their course, which finally re-
suited October 5, 1892, in his wife filing
divorce suit against him. This suit is
still pending.
BY all these things the plaintiff claims
that he has been driven to desperation !;
that his life has been wrecked, his for
tune lost and his home rendered dark
and gloomy. He alleges that it has
been caused ny the defendants and no
one else, and further alleges that they
are now trying to ALLEVIATE from him the
affections Of his child. He therefore
demands judgment for $4,000.

The Question of Renewing the Tunnel

ion renewal and extension of their prlvl-

third or fourth time by the non-fult ment
OF their contract.
We hope the Council will be slow to
grant this application, and will acqualnt
themselves with the circumstances OF the
case and especially with the present
wretched condition of the street. For
several tears patient and long-su1 erlhg
people have been subjected TO evils ana
dangers which have now become almost
uubearahle. The streets have been torn
up. and at times were impossible. Houses
nave been rent and torn, and are almost
ready TO fall. Gas. water, and sewer-pipes
have been broken aud displaced, emitting
foul odors. Tue people are IN constant
fear end apprehension. Property has depre-
ciated in value, and everybody Is III state

OTHER COSTUMES.
EVENING DRESSES.

For the afternoon toilet. where this is an
essential, there are are some charming ideas
brought out in dainty French foulards:
Such dress may be made en- princeSSe and
there Is pretty fashion now OF making
the front in very full, simple folds, con-
fined at the waist by a velvet girdle. From
the shoulders there is nchu of lace, pre-
ferably black. For the evening silk mus
lin or crepe over surah or even plain cash
mere will make an effective dancing gown.
At the hotel hops one does not see
any Of the heavier or richer materials,
which, in Reed would be totally inappro-
pirate. Some especially pretty evening
costumes for young girls have been pro-
duced IN pale-colored crlnkled crepon;
They are made after princess models and
cut quite low back and front. The cor,
sage openings, however, are partially filled
with whto chiffon there Is a iiuting OF
chiffon about the foot of the skirt, headed
by twisted rope Of ribbon. The skirt has
no fuller train than the full bell.
