BULLET AND BOTTLE.
Two South Gardiner Men Shed
Each Others Blood.
One Mans Jealousy of Another's At
tention to Divorced Wife
Said TO be Cause Of Encounter That Narrowly
Escaped Murder.

Gardiner. July s. Especially. There
was considerable excitement at South
Gardiner, early Thursday morning, when
Walter Fl. Merrill, the barber, shot a
teamster by the name of Dodwell, and
was himself badly cut about the
neck. Two years ago, Dodwell and his
wife were divorced and since that time
Merrill has been boarding with her, which
very much displeased Dodwell, who made
it so unpleasant for her that she n.ade a
complaint and he was placed under bonds
to keep the peace.
There are several different stories In re-
gard to the atfray.
Merrill says that he closed his barber
shop about midnight, and started for his
boarding place On the way he met DOd-
well, who struck him on the face with a
bottle, which was broken, but still Dod-
well continued to pound him with the
ragged edge of the bottle. Thinking
escape impossible, he drew revolver and
fired, the ball hitting Dodwell in the left
thigh.
Word was Immediately sent to City
Marshal Drake, who, accompanied by two
officers. drove to South Gardiner. He
found both men very weak from loss of
bleod, and summoned DR.. f. E. Strout,
who dressed the injuries, which are not
serious in either case.
Warrants have been issued and Merrill
will be summoned for hearing before
Judge Larrabee as soon as his wounds
will allow him to he brought here. Dod-
wells wounds will not admit of his ap-
pcaring at the Same time Meanwhile
officers will keep close watch on both
men.
