The report comes from Pittsburgh

when they moved from Cripple
Creek. All agree that Waters has
about SlOU wages coming and his
employer told him last night that If
he would wait until his returns came
in from the fruit growers association
he would pay him up. Waters insist
ed on leaving at once and suggested
that he take his mare, which is val
ued at about Sl75. He wanted to
sell the animal and keep half the
money so that he could leave at once.
They quarreled considerably last
evening and Rehkugler also referred
to Waters friendliness for Mrs. ReR-
kugler. He demanded that this
situation stop and said that as
soon as he could get the money, the
wages due Waters would be paid and
he would have to go.

With the smoking weapon still in
her hand she met her husband at the
door and told him that she had killed
Waters. He got a glimpse OF the form
huddled in the closet door, and, be-
