OusIy Wounds His
Wife.

The Review gives the following
particulars of the shooting OF Mrs.
George Fell, by her husband, at Min
ersl, Kan. as learned from Mrs Fell's
mother, Mrs. j. E. Griggs:
Late Friday night some one came
to Mr.. Fell's door and made an at.
tempt to break into the house. The
inmates were awakened, and Mr.. Fell
tried to drive the intruders away.
They did not comply with his de-
msnds TO leave the premises, and he
finally got his shotgun and proceed
ed to take shot ut them. While
Mr. Fell was loading his gun, Mrs.
Fell arose and went to light lamp,
which sat on stand table near the
door. Mr.. Fell, not knowing his wife
was near the door, fired. The con-
tents OF the gun took effect In the
upper part OF the lady's arm, nearly
severing that member from her
body.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Fell were born
and raised in and around Rich Hill,
and have many friends here, who
wish for the injured lady's rapid re-
covery.
