of Fauquier county. who was operated
on at the Providence Hospital. in this
city, for an accidentally inflicted
wound in the abdomen. was said to be

The trigger OF the weapon caught

the revolver was discharged, the ball
penetrating the abdomen and lodging
posteriorly against the ribs. The
wounded woman was brought to Cal
verton, a distance of three miles, and
placed on a train and brought to the
hospital -
Mrs. GLIB is well known in social

husband are from New York. Mrs.
Charles Martin mother OF Mrs. GLIB,
and Mrs. Ernest Foster, her sister, ar
