 The trouble which culminated today ill the shooting of Bane is said to have started some time ago, and nelghbors expressed no great surprise today when they learned of the nearly fatal affair at the Bane home. For some time past it is said in the neighborhaad that tBane, who pper- ated barber shop in the corner of his door yard, has been looking upon the wine with increasing frequency and persistence and that while en- gagged in this practice he has not been averse to treating his wife in a manner which is said to have caused apprehension in the minds of both Mrs. Bane and those of the neigh bors who are said to have heard and seen them.
