Holding Husband For Shooting His
 Wife With Rifle

Johnny Hines, negro, is held at the city jail, charged with assault with intent to kill. He was arrested the 18th after he was said to have shot his wife through the lip with a Win chester rifle.
 The woman was not hurt seriously, the bullet merely passing through her lower lip, which is said to have pro truded at the time of the shooting, because of generous pinch of snuff in her mouth. The husband fled following the shooting but was later captured.
 Another" negro figured in the shooting He is missing. His name is not definitely known.
 The affray occurred at the Hines dwelling near the Arkansas Short Leaf Lumber company plant west of Pine Bluff. Hines left the house for his work early, Monday morning, ac- cording to reports and slipped" back to the house short time after wards, where he found the "other" man in the house with his wife.
 "Come out here," Hines called to the woman, according to details reaching officers.
 She did not respond. He started shooting, calling:
 "When I calls you don you hesi- tate"
 One of the bullets split the woman's lower lip and the husband noting that one of the shots had taken effect, left hurriedly. The "other" man left also.
