baugh who fell off of the chair. Then
John fixed the revolver for me. While he

me again. After he shot me the second |

The Famous Eariy-La mborr Litigation
VIA No LonRorBe on the Docket.
An Alliance special says: The greatest
piece of news of local interest is the set-
tlement OF the Early-Lamborn litigation,
which for years has been dragged through
the courts at an expense of many thous-
ands of dollars for attorney fees and costs.
A large sized fortune has been expended
in this matter since the assignment Of
Lamborn K Gray, bankers, in 1885. The
settlement it effected by allowing Mrs.
Lamborn about 50,0Ooworth of property,
all and msYe than she ever claimed. The
creditors are greatly, agitated over the
matter, but are probably powerless to
offer any resistancss. II may sound
strange, but it Is nevertheless fact, that
could DR.. Lamdorn have handled the
estate himself he could by this time have
paid every creditor in full and had a snug
fortune left.

OTHER FACTS.

After being shot the second time Mrs.
McCurdy walked up the hill to the
Schweitzer residence, carrying her two
and half year old child in her arms. She
also walked to the cab supported on eth
er side by the Drs. Brant, Before leav-
with her child was most
painful. Mrs. McCurdy asked The doc
tors If she would ever come back TO see
her child and they assured her she would
probably recover.
M'CURDY WAS JEALOUS.
Yesterday John w. McCurdy worked
for the man who is now cold in death.
The two men have always been good
friends, but Mr.. and Mrs. McCurdy have
had great denl of trouble
and several arrests have been made
on account Of the trouble. They have
lived apart a number of times but have
always made up their differences. Nc
Curdy was very jealous of his wife and
often accused her of being intimate with
other men.
THE FIRST BULLET.
A later examination seems to
show that the first bullet was
fred through the bed room window
and struck the wall, bounding back on the
bed. McCurdy then probably ran into the
house, shooting and killing Waltenbaugh
and afterwards firing the first shot at his
wife.
THE WOMAN STILL ALIVE.
At4 O'Clock this afternoon word was re-
ceiyed from the Aultman Hospital that
Mrs. McCurdy was still alive and doing as
we'll as could be expected. She has as
yet made no statement regarding the
shooting.
HIS LAST WORDS.
Just before shooting his wife the second
time McCurdy said, "I'll put a stop to this
kind of business He then fired, his
wife making no remark.
