STORY OF THE TRAGEDY.
1t appears that on Wednesday last
Mr.. Hynds went UP to Butte. but re-
turned a day earlier than he expected
to. arriving here on the regular Union
Pacific passenger train at 9:o5 yester-
day morning. He started to walk up
town. but on account Of the snow
storm, concluded to go directly home
and spend the day. He hailed CUR
ney, and, driving up town, purchased
some cigars, greeted few friends and
was then driven to his home, arriving
there a little before 10 o'clock He
tried the front door, but found it
locked, which was unusual, and, using
his own key, found that the door was
locked on the inside. He then raped
on the door and after little delay
his wife opened it.
KISSED HIS WIFE.
she was in her night robes, and
stepping into the hall Hynds kissed
her and they walked on until a spare
bed room was reached. The husband
noticed that his wife seemed nervous,
but attached no Importance to it. She
remarked that she had slept in the
spare bed room and stepping in, said
she must get ready TO go to church.
Hynds followed her in, and observing
an empty beer bottle on the table. re-
marked jocularly that she must have
been drinking. Mrs Hynds replied
that she drank some beer the night
before. The husband then called her
attention to the two glasses on the
table and she replied that a lady
friend. giving her name, had been
Ihere.
Does she smoke cigarettes?" asked
Fynds who saw several of them on
the table.
All this the wife became very much
agitated, so much so that her husband
noticed it, but she answered that the
cigarettes were brought by her lady
friend.
Hynds was puzzled, but did not at
tach any Importance to the circum-
stance, and walked away without pur-
suing the subject farther. He looked
back however, and saw his wife pull
ing into a closet and bath room. He
called back, asking what she was do
ing, and she answered that she was
only getting cut her dress. This was
so palpably false that he walked to
her, determined now to learn the Tduse
of ker agitation, which had all the
while Increased. He threw back the
curtain. lighted a match and was
about to step into the bath room when
his wife stepped forward and blew out
the match. Hynds now, for the first
time thoroughly convinced that there
WAS something Of great Importance
that his wife was concealing from
him. threw back his hand, striking her
on the chin or mouth. and striking
Another match stepped into the room.
HE FACES DINwooDEy.
There. in the fartherest corner, was
Dlnwoodey. partially clad. Hynds rec
ognized him and Dinwoodey said, in
substance
4. WELL you've caught me. We might
just as well make the best Of it and
TX this thing up
Hynds called him into the room and
instantly ordered him TO leave the
place Meanwhile. the faithless wife
was on the verge Of hysteria, and
when ner husband ordered her to
leave. too. she commenced wailing
and crying: What will become of
me: what shall I do?"
