very sweet voice and her selections are
OF an order that cannot fail to please
anybody who has the least taste for good
music.

TO those present.
III seems that week ago last Satur-
day night valhy and Shepard met this
woman at the Arlington and jealousy
arose between the men.
Last night about o'clock. Shepard
arrived at Cheney's after having had
few drinks at various resorts down river.
On tho veranda of the Bay View he
ran across the woman he met at the Ar
Iington and sat down 10 talk with her.
He was accompanied by young fell
low he did not know. but whom he met
a. Crescent Park, where he drank with
him.
While drinking with the woman at

there. walked over and began to talk
with them, much TO Shepard's dislike, IL
seems.
Shepard demonstrated. and followed up
his remonstrance with a blow from his
fist. IL is alleged.
Then valby and his friends closed In
and Shepard was knocked down, ii is
claimed.
He got on his feet again and a beer
glass was thrown with unerring aim at
Valbys head.
1t struck him just little back from
the right eye and he dropped like log.
Nobody was found TO declare that
Shepard threw the glass and he says

was continued for trial next Friday bail
being fixed at $1,000.
e Later developments in the case tend
to show that Valbys companion yester-
day was a woman.
