For some years past he has pract ced modi- cine at Mill Run, this county, where ho married Miss Ella Cu turnings, last November. About a year ago, during the period of their engagement, he became angered at her conduct at a dance, and upon their return he moodily told her she -wonld be sorry for what she had done. Going to his room, he placed his revolver directly over his heart and fired. Providentially, the ball struck a rib and glanced orT.inflloting a mere flesh wound. Latterly he had decided to locate in Lenient, and for the past few dajs ho and his wile have been stopping with his mother, pending the removal of their household effects.

For some time he has been drinking heavilj. On tho evening in question, ho qi arrelied with his wife because she declined to go to tho opera house with him She was jnwell and Mrs. Lindley adused her not to go Frank went down street hi a rage Meeting his brother Charley, ho bado him farewell forevor.btit'he latter attached no importance to his significant again with tho expectation of got tin license and going into tho hotol busbies. again Ihero he fulled i. uin Since tin tlmo be hns done littlo or nothing January of this year he rented a hotel Jomistowii but failing to got a petltio for licon.no was forced to abandon th hotel project again Since time li has acted strangely at tunes, ami friends have been Th sequel shows their fears to have bee well founded Ilisumams nerointone in the Oak Grove coinoton, I'nesda afternoon WINTER WEATHER.
