 FOR SHOOTING
 HER HUSBAND
Sensational Case Has Developed on Island Women Arrested and
 Is Arraigned.
HUSBAND MAKES CHARGE

DOUGLAS, Dec. 1S.-C. F. Me Mutt. teamster in the employ of IA. T. Nelson, is now in St. Ann hos pital with a bullet hole four or five inches in length along the right side of his stomach and Alice Me- Mutt. his wife. is in jail on the charge of attempting to do bodily injury.
 The shooting occurred Saturday night about 11:30 o'clock and just few minutes after the woman had called at Marshal Shafers office to enlist his aid in locating her hus- band whom she said was probably in some saloon or engaged in gam bling. At the time she called on the marshal she remarked: You will probably have us both in jail before morning"
 At a little after 11:SO o'clock Saturday night McNutt called at the marshars office and asked to have his wife arrested, at the same time showing the wound in his stomach. At practically the same moment the woman called on Dep uty United Ssdtes Marshal Frank Bach and asked him if he had heard of anyone being wounded, that she had fired two shots through the front door of her home at some bur glar who was trying to break in.
 Deputy Bach and Marshal Shafer compared note but first took the wounded man to City Physician Sar- gent who took McNutt in his auto to the hospital where he extracted the bullet which was just under the surface of the skin, and treated the wound.
 After leaving the doctors office the officers returned to the McNutt home, one of Henson's cottages near the approach to the city wharf and placed the woman under arrest, talk ing her to the city jail Returning to the house later they found the re- volver. 32-calibre. with which the shooting was done. It had been thrown under a cupboard. The wo- man fired two shots through the glass door. only one of which took effect. The force of the shot was greatly weakened and it's direction somewhat deflected by the glass in the door, otherwise McNutt would have probably been killed.
 The woman was arraigned before Commissioner Henson at 12 o'clock today when the charge, signed this morning by her husband, was read to her. She explained that she had no money with which to employ an attorney and asked that tho prelim- mary hearing begin at once. Assist ant District Attorney Reagan was present to appear in another case and conducted the hearing for the government Deputy Marshal Bach and Marshal Shafer testified accord ing to the statements above made. Dr. Sergeant testified to the na- ture of the wound and Mike Sefer- ovich testified to having seen Mrs. McNutt standing in the door of her home and looking toward the street only few minutes before the shoot ing took place.
 The woman declined to make a statement and had no witnesses in her behalf. She was bound over to the district court in the sum of | $500, in default of which she was remanded to jail.
 The McNutts have been in the limelight before. On October 11th the woman had McNutt arrested for assault and during the trial it came out that they were not mar ried. AS the evidence was somewhat doubtful, Magistrate Erie dismissed the case and within day or two Dan Cupid had an inning ana tintin. abulations of wedding bells ranf forth, the diamond-hitch being thrown by Commissioner Henson.
 Since then the dove of peace, il Dame Rumor is to be believed, ha' not found a roasting place on tho ridgepole of the McNutt domicile ol in the branches of the McNutt fa"l fly fig tree, as it is said freQuentl! family rows have taken place, cul minating in the shooting Saturda! night. The woman looks severa years older than her husband. Th' latter is not dangerously wounded and will likely be all right within
