clude that Kimball had one wife more than

Boston Saturday night in search OF the
couple. If his information is correct, Kim
ball will probably be placed under arrest,

gun with his right hand gripped around it
near the breech, so that it was in nearly a
horizontal position When within three
rods of Cleveland, Trow's gun was in some
way discharged, the cartridge exploded,
and large portion entered Cleveland s
right leg below the knee. The flesh was Sc
verely torn. Trow carried Cleveland on
his back to the highway, distance of one.

and Braley were summoned. The shot was
with difficulty extracted, and, if blood

the prompt action Of the latter that the
wounded man was brought to this village
