possible for them TO follow. Their shoes

in strong position on the left of our
line. Gen. Lawton had attempted TO
join us from Caney. but when very

A GALLANT ADVANCE.
"Our balloon having been sent up

BOTH ARRESTED.
Horwitx Catches His Wife and walther
in q Compromising situation.

Horwitx Catches His Wife and Walther
In q Compromising Situation.
The troubles between Joseph Horwitz
and his wife developed a sensation last
night by Horwitz catching Mrs. Hor-
witt in a compromising situation with
G. Walther, the driver of a milk wagon,
and having them both arrested. Hor-
witt conducts an installment business
in North Main street. He and his wife
live at 312 North Washington street.
They have been having trouble for scme
time. each accusing the other of infdei-
ity. About a week ago Mrs. Horwitz
visited the county attorneys office n
told a story OF cruelty on the part of
her husband which gained her consid-
cradle sympathy, and a complaint
charging Horwitz with assault vas
filed in Justice Laurandeau's court. A
warrant was issued, Torwitz was ar
rested and the case is now pending.
Mrs. Horwitz told the county attorney
she had found her husband unfaithful.
and he. to prove his innocence, had
one with her before the woman said
to be involved. Both broke down and
convinced her that her suspicious were
correct. When they returned home. to
retaliate. HorwitZ had given her a bru-
tai beating. 1t was for this he was
arrested.
1t appears the couple have lived apart
since HorwitZ' arrest, and a few days
ago Horwitz himself became suspicious.
Last evening he asked to have an off,
Ger watch the house, which Mrs. Hor-
witz still occupied. but the request was
refused, so HorwitZ got two friends and
the three set themselves to watch.
They saw Walther enter the house. and
after waiting some time broke open the
door and caught the pair in a COM
promising situation. Both were arrest
ed and taken to the city Jail by Officers
Barry n Shea, who were summoned.
They were charged with adultery.
Mrs. Horwitz denied her guilt and
explained Walther's presence in the
house by saying Horwitz had threat
ened her life. and the lodge to which
she belonged had sent walther to guard
the house. The fact that she was en-
ishabil when the door was broken in,
she explained by saying she had been
taking a bath. Upon promising to be
at home in the event a warrant was
issued for her to-day, she was allowed
her liberty. Walther stated he had not
been sent to the house by any lodge,
and that he did not know Mrs. Horwitz
was married. He said he met her out
bicycling on the fat and she represent
ed to him she vas single. He went to
the house last evening in esponse to
a note he received from her. He con-
fessed to being intimate with her since
the Fourth OF July. Walther was re-
quired TO furnish bonds TO secure his
release.
