SHOOTS HER HUSBAND.
Woman Fires Bullet Almost Through
His Neck.

A dispatch from Douglas, Ca,
says news has just reached that place
of a shooting affair in the extreme
northern portion of Coffee, county
in which Mr.. Gaines Ellis, farmer
was shot late Saturday afternoon by
his wife with pistol, the bullet
taking effect in the. neck and it is
said the bullet went practically en-
tirely through the neck and that
Ellis is in serious condition.
Owing to the distance of the ira
gedy from Douglas, it is impossible
to get the full details, but from the
best information obtainable, it seems
that the difficulty grew out of do
mestic troubles. It is said that Mr..
Ellis, for some time, has been on
too intimate relations with some wo-
men who resided short distance
from his house, that Mrs. Ellis had
learned OF the. relations and had
warned Ellis to desist from such
conduct, so Sunday afternoon Ellis
ignoring his wife's feelings about
the matter, went down to where the
women lived and his wife procured
a pistol and followed and the shoot
ing is the result. 1t is not known
whether the wife has been arrested.

Very Sick.

A special dispatch to the Charlotte
Observer from High Point, n. c.,
says one of the saddest tragedies
that ever occurred there happened
Saturday night when young girl Oy
the name Of Bessie Thomassonville
Of Statesville died at the home of
Dr.. w. l.. Vestal on account of an
illegal operation which had been per-
formed by DR.. w. L. Vestsl last
Tuesday night.
The police were notified about the
condition of the young girl just
short time before she died and when
they arrived at the home Of Dr..
Vestal they not only found the one
who is now dead, but also found
another young girl who gave her
name as May Owen from Linwood,
and who was In serious condition.
She had also gone through the same
operation.
Saturday night about II o'clock
Drs. Station and McAnally were called
to the home of DR.. Vestal to see
Bessie Thomasson and they at once
saw that the girl was in most crit
ical condition. They suggested to
Dr.. Vestal that the patient be taken
to the hospital for treatment and
made the arrangements, but it was
soon learned that the girl was at that
time in a dying condition and that
to remove her would be only has
tening her death. At about twelve
o'clock che died after having a num-
ber of spasms.
Before she died she made full
confession to the physicians telling
about the operation and her treat
ment. May Owen, the other girl,
was removed to the hospital by the
policeman and her condition seems
some better, but is yet regarded as
serious.
Bessie Thomasson went there last
Statesville without the knowledge of
her father, to receive treatment from
DR.. Vestal She was induced to
come here by young man named
Levy Maynard of High Point who it
is claimed is the man who got the
girl in trouble.

A line seems to be drawn, north

side-Madriz nor Estrada--can go
cross; fighting is going on continu-
ously, the country is being ruined
financially and the considerable for
eign business interests are seriously
affected. Moreover, neishboring
states in Central America view with
disquietude the probability OF the
strife in Nicaragua extending over
the borders into their own states.
So it is not improbable that there
will be a concerted movement on the
part of other interested governments
to force by moral suasion or, if nee
essary, by an exhibition Of strenghth
the two factions in Nicaragua to stop
fighting and submit their respective
cases to the adjudication of disinter-
