Ill-Treatment for Four Years.
ST. Louis, Nov. -Four years of
abuse and ill-treatment were brought
to climax this morning when Louisa
Miner shot her husband, John Miner,
alias Meyer, through the heart, killing
him almost instantly. The man had
knocked the woman down and was
wrestling with her on the floor when
the fatal shot was fired. The shooting
occurred at their home, 9l0 Morgan

habit of brutally beating. Several
times they have parted and made up
again. The quarrel this morning grew
out of his alleged intimacy with
another woman. His wife had re-
preached him with his inidelity and in
return he had struck her violent blow
in the face, knocking her down. To
protect herself she seized pistol
which she had borrowed, and pointing
it at him warned him away. lie
grabbed the weapon and attempted to
wrest it from her grasp. In the strug-

was while they were fighting there
that the pistol was discharged. The
bullet took effect in Miners right side
in the region of the heart, and with
cry of I'm shot" he released the
woman and sank to one side uncon-

for daring to attack the district leaders. II

If an injustice is done will do things which
you may row believ impossible" This implied
threat was greeted with Kisses from all parts Of
the hall.
A SUBSTITUTE PROPOSED.
After several other men had spoken, some for
and others against Mr.. Einstein's amendment.
Mr.. Hall proposed this a substitute:
The the list offered by NJ. EinseIn. where
Judge Patfcrson's list shall be added thereto, aud
the committee 50 named shall Investigate the Republican
party Of this country, and after such investigation the
said committee shall deem 1t necessary. the committee
shall recommend plan OF reorganization TO the County
Committee.
Ex-Judge Patterson at first was not going to
accept this substitute. but many OF his associ-
ates the Executive Committee told him that
the chances were that Mr. Einstein's amendment
would be adopted. and that this was good
compromise. Finally he consented to allow 1t
to go to vote. The substitute carried
by 219 to 70. The seventy-fve who voted against
the substitute were those who are In favor Of
an immediate reorganization. IT was probable
that Mr.. Einsteins amendment would have
been carried IL 1t had reached vote. and 1t
was a sharp trick on the part Of those who were
opposed to 1t to get the substitute before the
committee to be acted upon. The general i'm
preston was that those who were in favor OF
a reorga nzation had really gained a decided
victory over the district leaders who are OPP
posing II. The result Of the vote means further
that the question Of reorganization must be
fought over again at the next meeting OF the
County Committee.
