An Interesting Case.

Mrs. G. Jackson. a respectable woman who has recently arrived here with -heI husband, and who resides in the su- burbs, was arrested upon a warran, made by her husband last night charg- ing her with discharging firearms in the city limits. She acknowledged that she had fired off a pistol. and said il was because of the presence of a screech owl in the immediate vicinity and did 1t to frighten the creature away. Before the case ended, however 1t developed that there had been @ dis agreement between the woman and her husband and the court asked if the husband was not the screech owl the gun was fired to frighten away. This was about proven, for the husband ac- knowledged that he had heard the shot and had left the house immediately, thinking that his wife had been try ing to do herself bodily harm and he had hunted up the police to inform them of his suspicious. This couple came here from Jacksonville about two years ago.
