Alamosa Furnishes
Another Internal
Triangle" Affair

Another internal triangle led to
fight that ended in gun play at
Alamosa last week when Chas.
Smoulton found J. 8. Thompson. an
engineer, in his wife's room at the
st. Charles hotel.
smoulton sailed into Thompson
and gave him a first class beating
after which Thompson escaped to his
own room. secured a 3s-calibre gun
and took a shot at smoulton from
the back as he ran down stairs. The
bullet passed through a panel and
lodged In the small Of Smoulton's
back. Thompson was arrested on
. charge Of assault.
Mrs. Smoulton came to Alamosa
from Durango to attend the Normal
School. smoulton had been doing
some contract work in California
and the wife claimed they were es-
transed. smoulton followed her to
Alamosa and became jealous OF the
attentions Thompso. paid her.
Thompson became acquainted
with the Smouiton woman while
