Few knew that the Lingo-Righter

that occasion. As Mrs. Florence N. II.
Fisher, the organist of the church, was
nlayjtSp the marches for the happy
event which made William II. Lingo
and Miss Irene Adele RICHTER husband
and wife, doubtless her thoughts were
turned to quieter wedding to follow.

reception at the Fighter residence.

Baptist Church, WIN had performed the
ceremony at the church at O'CLOCK
figured In a similar capacity at the
residence of Mrs. Fisher, No. S2S jack

hour she was married to her former

to the plains beyond Eleventh street

Leslie Warrick, the butcher at W. Z.

In addition to the revolver, which con-
tanned several more blank cartridges,
Mr.. Warrick found several blank cart

Earl to tell policeman to look after
him. Tenth and Spruce streets is
about square away fiom their home

Ellis and that this started a quarrel.
An eye witness relates that the older

range of only two or three feet
Then there was excitement. The
pupils of Public School No. 20 were
assembling, for it was about s.45
O'Clock, and throngs Of them rushed to
the scene. The blank cartridge from
the revolver had struck Earl near the
corner of the mouth and blood flowed
copiously. 1t was Just AS real to Earl
as If he had been struck with rea

\ trouble and afterwards went to q
doctor, but Ellis hid in an alley until
pursued by Mr.. Warrick.
