rls with undue attention tn his
wife. Holhrrok left his wife at
her parents home the night before
after attending the matrimonial
problem play, Moth" He then
went TO his own room. but his
mind was unrasy. At midnight
he arose, wentto the house where
he had left his wife, and she was
gone. He found her down town on
the street with Morris, civil en-.
gIneer employed bv the Frisco.
According to llOlbrook, he had
never seen Morris before. He was
wild with excitement aud tainted,
he asserts.
when | came to-" he says, Il
was lying there on the ground with
AL Eagles. my wife's brother,
working over me. My wife was
gone. Morris was still there.

leave my wife alone. l told him
that for the sake of my wife and

must leave Allie alone. AS we
reached the gate he turned on ME,

him, He took a stand outside the
place.
He intended, he says, to force a
talk with Morris and get him to
agree to drop his acquaintance with
his wife. HolbroOk gives as his
reason for carrying a pistol the
statement he claims Morris made
the night before. Morris crossed
the street in company with G Reese,
also a Frisco engineer. Both were
going to breakfast.
HOlbrook aud Morris met in the
middle of the sidewalk. Holbrook
requested a word with him and

Misquoted Shakespeare, Fight

Either J. s. Smithiir or Jack Shelwin misquoted Shakespeare. Whichever it was, the other resented it and there fol lowed such lively argument that it was not uatl Smithin whipped out his trusty--and rusty-spring knife and had at him. infiicting a wound which though "not so deep as well nor so wide as a church door, '--it was only about three-quarters of aa inche deep in the fat of the breadbasket--serv to have the old man arrested by Deputy Marshal Cochran and held by Justice Hinson Thomas to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Smithin, who is an old man and helpless in-his right arm, waived examination and stated to the court yesterday afternoon that he had been drinking and remembered nothing of the occurrence, but that he had beer ! told that he only used the knife when l Shelwin grabbed him by the collar in ! the Shakespearean argument.
