Insanely jealous over man not her husband, Mrs. Margery Beck attempted to kill Miss Charlotte Palm, nurse, and James Bice, the man with whom she was infatuated, firing five shots at the couple as they were out driving near the county hospital, Monday night
 Failing to do more than infiict : fesn wound on Miss Palm, she returned to her home and attempted to commi suicide by taking strychnine.
 : Prompt medical attention saved he life. Yesterday she was arrested on charge of assault with deadly weapon and detained at the county jail. Through her attorney, George R. Hill, Mrs Beck waived an examination and on the charge. Her bail was fixed at $500. Bail was not furnished last night and she was locked up over night.
 Whether or not Mrs, Beck will be re- leased is question which will be set tied later. As she has made threats against the lives of both Bice and Miss Palm, she may be kept in detinue, as an application to have her put under bonds will probably be made in the event of her release.
 The affair was the outcome of jeal- ousy on the part of Mrs. Beck, which started after she was convalescing after an operation for appendicitis, some weeks ago.
 Bice had been living, at the Beck home for some time and in spite of the fact that she had husband of her own, Mrs. Beck hecame madly infatu- ated with him, it is said.
 Miss Palm nursed Miss Beck while the latter was i'll and in that way met Bice. He took her to her home, near the county hospital on number of ac. casions and Mrs. Beck, feeling that her affections were being trihed with, grew madly jealous.
 g, Her jealousy overcame her Monday night. Knowing that B!ce and Miss Palm were out riding, she secreted her self at the bridge just west of the coun- ,y hospital and awaited their approach.
 Just as they reached the bridge Mrs Beck opened fire. She emptied the re- volver of the five shots it contained, firing in rapid suceessin.
 One of the shots took effect in Miss Palms left thigh, inflicting fesh woupd. 1.-The horse shied at the hrst shot and none of the other shots took effect where they were aimed at, al though the horse was shot and a nun Der of bullets lodged in the buggy
 Mrs. Beck returned to Der home anu at once called up Sheriff Thompson, in forming him, of. what she had done.
 The sheriff hnrried to the house ap'l finding, that the woman had taken stryehnine, at once summoned a. physi' elan. Dr. Wales responding. Before he arrived the woman not only attempted to take, ahother dose of poison but ot- tempted. to stab herself, with pair oi sharp pointed scissors as well. These attedppts were. frustrated and the ef' fleets of the first dose of poison coun' teracted. ~. tG
