Exciting Encounter Between n Man,
His Wife and the Despoiler of
His Home.

His Home
Tampa, Fla, June 13.-Another
bloody chapter was added to the vol
ume of crime in Hillsborough county,
about twelve o'clock Thureday. For
some time Henry Hall has had evil
dence that Joe Sanks was maintain
ing improper relations with his wife
and had warned him to resist. Both
men have been on the sanitary force.
When Hall went to his home his
wife was gone and he at once sus-
pected that she was off with Joe
Sanks. He went to Sanks' house and
looking in at. the window saw them
in n room. He went in and fired at
Sanks and his wife jumped up. A
melee followed during which several
shots were fired. Sanks managed to
get out of the room and ran upstairs,
Hall following him, and Halls wife
following her husband. Hall found
Sanks and fired again, the woman
jumping in to keep her paramount from
being killed. Sanks broke down the
stairs, Hall firing at him as he went.
The woman was between her hus-
band and the object of his wrath and
had ten holes put through her dress.
In the scuffie Hall caught his wife
and wounded Sanks. AS Sanks
reached the east door step, Hall fired
and the former fell to the ground.
AS soon as Hall did the shooting he
started to town and met Policeman
Carter to whom he surrendered and
was carried at once to Jail. His wife
was also placed in Jail. Joe Sanks is
being given all possible medical at
tention, but his wounds are pronounc-
ed fatal, either one of several of them
being sufficient TO produce death.
Hall emptied three pistols at the
couple.

QUEEN OF DRUG STORES.

Well may San AntOnions feel proud
of the acquisition the city has made
of such an elegant establishment as
is the new drug store of Mr.. J. NJ. Pet
ty, in the Maverick bank building, on
Alamo plaza.
Mr.. Pettey has spared no expense to
make this the queen" of drug stores.
The fixtures are of immaculate white,
veneered in colors, and ornamented
with large French plate mirrors. The
decanters are to special order, made
of heavy machine cut glass. What
holds one spell-dound on entering the
establishment is the magnificent
Tufts arctic soda fountain, made to
special order for Mr.. Pettey, and con-
ceeded to be one of the finest and
most costly in the South. A descrip-
ton would hardly do it justice; it
must be seen to be appreciated.
This will be presided over by pro-
fessional mixologist, who will politely
administer to the wants of the thirsty
public.
There is no need of dwelling on the
fact that every thing contained in the
new drug store will be of the best,
and will include toilet articles, per-
fumeries, and all goods generally
found in a well appointed drug store.
On Monday next the doors of the
magnificent and attractive place will
be thrown open to the public.
