L'uliappy Family Affair Cause 111m to
Become Jealous and lie Trie to End
111 Trouble By Shooting Uinelf
Physician Kelieve That He tan Live
Only a Short Time.
Carl An tone, a well known citizen
who has resided in this city for many
years, shot himself through the left
breast with a revolver shortly after
12 o'clock this morning, the ball enter
ing about an inch above the heart and
penetrating the lung. The attending
physicians state that internal hem
orrhage has set in, and that his
chances for recovery banj on a very
slender thread.
Antone lives in the Second ward
with bis wife and four-year-old son.
About 12 o'clock last night, it is said,
heame borne in a seemingly intox
icated condition, and began to upbraid
his wife for alleged infidelity. During
the quarrel ha suddenly produced a
gun, and, fearing that he would do
something desperate, his wife grabbed
the arm holding the deadly weapon,
but she was too late the gun was
leveled at his breast and discharged.
He fell to the floor with the blood ooz
ing from an ugly wound.
Neighbors were attracted to the
scene by tho loud report of the weapon,
and a physician was hurriedly sum
moned. It was found that the bullet
had lodged in the lung, just above the
heart. It is evident that the vital
organ was his target, but bis aim was
a little high.
The immediate cause of the tragedy
was jealousy. For some time a cloud
has shadowed tho happiness of this
family, and the motive of Aotone's
mad act was probably to put an end to
his troubles. He had stated to friends
that his better half was unduly inti
mate with another man, and about
three weeks ago ho left her About a
week ago tbey resumed living to
gether, and from all appearances their
differences had been amically settled.
Antone is a butcher by occupation.
and was formerly employed at the
meat market of Kunsmann & Ramge.
Lately he has been doing odd jobs in
the butchering lice. Antone was
married to his present wife about
three years ago. Her former husband,
it is said, was killed whilo digging a
well at Louisville, this county, about
four years ago.
LMHtrtet Court SoteH.
The case of Louit-e M. lijwitzer vs.
W. D. Wheeler and others was given
to the jury at about 9 o'cIook last
night. After being out" for a fow min
utes a verdict, in the sum of $2,200, was
returned in favor of the plaintiff. Be
fore the trial of the case began the de
fendants offered to settle the contro
versy by paying the plaintiff $2,400,
but this was refused. All the parties
to the action, however, seem to be
well pleased with the outcome.
In the case of the Kiipitrick, Koch
Drv Goods company against Walter
Failing, tried this morning, the jury
brought in a verdict for tho defendant
in the sum of S2S. The original claim
of the plaintiffs was $ 135.
The trial of the case of L. W. Castor
vs. D. S. Draper was in progress this
afternoon. This is a suit to recover a

and said, in part:
"A downtown business rran has

tion. The new business manager, who

BOY INSTANTLY KILLED!
Son of Mr. autl Mrs. Wash Youug
Meets With a Sad Accident.
While Riding a Pony In the Pasture the
Animal Stumble and Fall en Top or
the ITnfortunate Lad His Neck Is
Broken Body Found Several Hours
After the Accident Occurred.
George, the nine-year-o'd son of Mr.
and Mrs. Wash Young, lies cold in
death at the home of his parents, four
miles west of this city, as the result of
a sad accident, which befell him late
yebterday afternoon. After school yes
terday he went to the barn and pad
dled his pony in order to go out into
the pasture after the cows. Mr. Young,
who had been to town, came home
about 9 o'clock and found the boy had
not returned. The father at once set
out to search for the missing boy, but
found no trace of him. lie returned
to the bouse, thinking that the lad
h id probably put in an appearance in
the meantime. Finding that ho had
not done so, Mr. Young decided to
mike another and more thorough
search of the premises this time ac
companied by his dog. As if by in
stinct, the dog bounded aboa and
led Mr. Young directly to a place
where a sad sight was revealed to the
horror-stricken father. The boy and
pony vere found both dead lying in
a hollow, which, from a distance.
slightly hid them from view. The
animal had evidently stumbled while
galloping down the incline, falling on
top of the unfortunate lad.
Thinking that the boy had only been
stunned by the fall, Mr. Young im
mediately got him out from under the
horso and carried him to the bouse.
Dr. Schildknecht was at once sum
moned by telephone, but when the
physician arrived he found that the
little fellow had been dead for several
hours. His neck had been broken,
and the pny suffered a simi ar frac
ture. The members of the s filicted family
have the sincere sympathy of the en
tire community.
The funeral will be held Sunday
aftarnoon at 2 o'clock from the family
residence. Rev. Asa S'.eeth of the
Methodist church will conduct the
services.
