How 60 Make Him Draw Exactly Hls

The question is often hotly discussed
whether, when two horses work on an

horse that lags behind thereby draws
just one-half of the load, or more, or
less than half. The truth is that either
OF the three may be true, according to

TRIED TO KILL HIS WIFE
James Bass, CoIored Rnfiian, Makes a
Cowardiy Assault
His Intended Victim Narrowly Escapes Being
Killed by Seizing the Revolver as He
Attempts to Shoot

James Bass, a colored man with a repu
taton somewhat the worse for wear, at
tempted to kill his wife at her home, $40
Banning street, at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning. Bass is dissolute fellow, and
has previously had trouble with his spouse
on account of which she had separated
from him several months ago. Since then
she has moved from their former residence
on Temple street to her old home on Ban
ming street, where she has taken in wash
ing to support herself and her two young
sons. Bass has endeavored to get his wife
to return to him but she has every time
refused.
Yesterday morning he went to her house
with the intention of forcing her to comply
with his wishes. Entering the room he
closed the door after him and approached
her in threatening manner. When
within a few feet of his intended
victim he drew a revolver and attempted
to shoot her in the breast. Instantly she
seized the gun. but not an instant too soon,
as the hammer descended on her hand in
, stead of the cartridge. infiicting slight
wound between the thumb and fore finger.
Mrs. Bass screamed for help, while her in
furiated husband struggled to wrench the
weapon from her grasp. In this manner
she was dragged out of doors. Failing to
retrieve the pistol, Bass jumped upon the
PROSTATE woman and kicked her badly
about the face and body.
Several men who were at work in lum-
Der yard near by heard the woman's cries
and climbed to the top of the board fence
surrounding the lot where the trouble oc-
Cured. Bass then tore the weapon from
his wife's hand and ran rapidly in the di

Trick 6-North does not happen to hold

jack Of clubs. for the reason that Souths
hand is counted for three of each suit and
helping card in hearts in his hand can be
put to better advantage than the. possible

condemn the passing second hand of queen
or Jack led when holding king, ten and 9TH
ers. All plays are subject to exceptions,
we are inclined to think that East should not
have covered the jack of clubs at this point,
although the question is an extremely doubt
full one; East can place three clubs with
South and two with West; If South's clubs
are ace, queen and one small, then the play
OF king will save q trick by making good
the ten; If South's clubs are ace and two
small, the play Of king will make no differ
ence, as in that case West holds queen; but
II South holds queen and two small clubs,
then the play of king will lose a trick, be-
cause Vests ace will be forced to drop on the
next lead, making the queen good with South,
while by passing, West will win, force
South and compel him to lead up to East's
king. ten. The point is, perhaps, hardly
worthy of discussion, as it comes down to
a question of mathematics.
The following deal contains two coups, both
of which were successful. Fergus Falls was
astonished at the play of the hand by South
at Table 2, but, to our mind, South played
sound whist
