LOWELL NOW HAS 4 GE ENU|NE
 SCANDAL
Mrs, Fred Phinney Tires of a Welded Life and ForSakeS
 Her Husband.

Lowell, or that part of Lowell known as the Johnson Addition, is stirred with scandal occurring in the home lives of MT. and Mrs. Fred Phinney, which has resulted in the separation of the couple Ind the ultimate depart ure from Bisbee with a we'll known man, himself the head of a family, of Mrs. Phinney. Jack Reese formerly nurse employed at the Copper Queen hospital here, is the man named in the case. Reese has a wife who is now sojourning in California. Reese is said upon good authority to be with Mrs. Phinney at present at one of Fl Paso's hostelries. A warrant has been sworn for his arrest on a charge of having threatened the life of Fred Phinney with a gun. Later develop ments in the case may result in a fel- Ony charge of more serious nature than the alleged assault, and his ex- tradition is spoken of in certain terms about Lowell.
 Fred Phinney, the husband of the woman who is alleged to have left the country with Reese, is solicitor at the Lowell store of the Copper Queen company. He is a veteran of the Philippine war. The Phinneys were married but three months ago. They made their home on Kansas street at Johnson Addition, occupying the same house with Mir. and Mrs. Joe Ander- son. Mrs. Anderson is a sister of Mrs. Phinney.
 All went smoothly until Mrs. Phin- ney is said to have acquired a pen chant for dances and the society of former male acquaintances. Reese, who is mentioned most prominent in the case, recently returned from Can anea, where he was employed up to the time of the trouble there. Since his return he met Mrs. Phinney It seems that Reese and Mrs Phinney are old friends. and that both were seen frequently together, too frequent ly to please the husband of the wom- an. These public appearances of the pair called forth much comment from the friends of all concerned, and eventually the gossip came to the ears of Phinney and the Andersons. The crisis came few weeks ago when at a public dance at Don Luis Mrs. Phin- ney showed a decided preference for the partnership of Reese in the terpsi- chorean revels that formed the at traction of the occasion. It is said that she danced nearly every dance with Reese to the utter exclusion of her husband. At her home the fol- lowing day she was roundly upbraided for her actions, and a family row in which Mir. Joe Anderson, her brother in-law, is said to have taken an active part, ensued. Mrs. Phinney alleges that Anderson choked her and made serious threats toward her.
 The following day. so it is alleged, Reese appeared on the scene and de- tended the woman against what he deemed the brutal attacks of her brother-in-law and husband. Ander- son and Phinney claim that Reese dis played a gun in a threatening manner, and other wise made vicious assault on them. However, that may be, on the evening of this same day, the two men appeared before Justice Hogan and swore to complaints against both Reese and Mrs. Phinney. Mrs. Phin- ney was charged by her husband with having used abusive and improper language toward him. Reese was charged with assault with deadly weapon.
 
 Johnson House in this city. Reese evidently got wind of the proceedings and left the country to avoid the un- pleasantness of the arrest that seem- ed imminent. He was reported to have gone to California to join his wife.
 The case against Mrs. Phinney came up for hearing before Justice Hogan in due time. A charge which she had preferred against Anderson was also scheduled for the same day. The trio, Mrs. Phinney, her husband and An derson, were brought together before the courtI but after some wrangling and more caressing on the part of the Phinneys, they agreed to make up. Ap- parently they did so, but later develop ments show that the truce was of but short duration, for Marion Phinney, the wife, is now reported to be in Fl Paso, and the paramour of Reese.
 It is possible that ext-edition pro- ceedings may be resortei to in the case of Reese. There seems to be no inclination on the part of those con- cerned to further act against Mrs Phinney.
