Irene Mcfarland of Owensboro, KY, being
the witnesses to the simple ceremony. The

Mrs Brown was the divorced wife OF Arch

Browns death was the result of being
caught with another mans wife. One day
he was discovered with Mrs. Nellie Bush

by the woman's husband, Fulton Gordon.
When it was anticipated that Mrs. Brown
was about to be married again the an

COLORED WOMAN WITH A GUN
Alice Adams Goes After viii stuart
with n Revolver and Gets
Into Trouble.

Alice Adams, a young colored woman,
conducted Will Stuart to a Douglas street
pawn shop last night at the point of a re-
volver and discharged the five chambers
cf the wear on ia crowded thoroughfare
because Stuart had taken the liberty of
pawning her most becoming gown. Stuart
was not hit and the bystanders were also
unharmed.
The young woman has received Stuart at
her rooms on frequent occasions and finally
made the mistake of entrusting him with a
latch key. Yesterday Stuart called and,
finding the woman out, went inside and ran
sacked her trunk. He took out several gar
ments of commercial value, and is said
to have realized on them quite literally at
pawn shop. When the woman discovered
that Stuart was not the friend she thought
him she borrowed revolver and sought him
out. The gun was directed toward Stuart
and he was ordered to proceed to the pawn
shop and release the goods Stuart promised
to obey, but to make the matter certain
| the woman marched behind him with the
revolver pointed at his back. The procession
moved in this order to Fifteenth and Daven-
port streets, where Stuart took advantage
| of a shaded point to attempt an escape.
The woman promptly fired and did not
\ stop until the barrels were empty. Stuart
| felt the humiliation of parading the streets
under such circumstances and when he OBJ
served that the woman had spent her am
munition he returned for satisfaction. H'
attacked her with knife and cut a deeT
cash along her right arm. Stuart made
| his escape before a policeman could get tC
the scene, and the woman is under arres
charged with shooting with intent to Kill.

FIRE AND POLICE MATTERS
OutIawed Board Partially Hears the
Charges Against One of the
Reform Officers.

The outlawed Board OF Fire and Police
Commissioners held an extended but unpro-
ductive session last night in listening to the
case OF Patrolman Moore, charged with
neglect of official duty which was exploited
at length. The fact was brought out that
Moore had spent an undue amount of time
at dance on South Sixth street instead
of patrolling the neighborhood in accordance
with the police manual. 1t was shown that
he joined in the throng and enjoyed himself
in the manner of an ordinary citizen while
the city was paying him for his services.
Testimony was not completed and the case
went over until next week. Charges were
also preferred against Patrolman Boyce al
leging drunkenness, and were set over under
the rules.
Police Relief association warrants in the
sum OF $62 each were approved In the cases
of Patrolmen Drummy, Storey and Norton.
Captain Jerry Sullivan, Engine company
No. 2, was allowed four days leave.
Esau Gardiner was appointed utility man
on the fire department to hold himself in
readiness for service.
