NEAR TO TRAGEDY Muscatine Husband Returns Unexpectedly and Finds An other With Hi3 Wife. SHOT; KICKED INTO STREET Visitor One of Prominent Lawyers of the City and One of Billy Sunday's Converts. PERSONAL POINTS. Breaking down the door of his res idence, on the corner of Fifth and Mulberry streets; in Muscatine, Wil liam Unruh found his wife in com pany with a prominent lawyer of that city. A deadly struggle ensued in which the furniture was broken, the stove upset and the lawyer got a bul let through his right shoulder from the Irate husband. Unruh then car ried the scantily clad exponent of Blackstone to the top of the stairs and kicked him, bruised and bleed ing into the street. The matter was hushed up at the time and the lawyer was taken to his home by friends. However, yester day the news of the occurrence leak ed out and spread like wildfire over the city. The attorney is confined to his bed at his home and although not dangerously injured is suffering from a mass of bruises and cuts adminis tered by Unruh. Trip He Dfrtnt Take. Unruh, who is a button cutter, stated last night that he had been warned that the attorney was visit ine his home during his absence. j Last Saturday evening his wife want j ed him to go to Davenport on some j pretext, so he slates, and he pur chased a ticket at the depot In her presence. He boarded the train, but ! got off before it started out and went up near his home and waited. Son the atternoy appeared and went up the front way. Unruh, tak ing on his shoes sneaked up the back way. He listened at one of the doors and heard the couple talking. Soon afterwards the light was turned low and Unruh broke in the door and jumped into the room with a re volver in his hand. He found the lawyer in the room scantily attired and a deadly hand to hand struggle commenced. Lawyer Beaten Beyond Recognition. The lawyer, when he saw the gun leaped at his assailant and succeeded in getting his hand over the trigger. In the meantime as the attorney clung to the gun the husband pummeled his face with his fist until it was swollen beyond recognition. In the scuffle Unruh succeeded in discharg ing the weapon point blank and the bulle't went clear through the law yer's shoulder. He then picked the attorney up and dropped him over the railing of the stairs and threw his clothing after him. Unruh tried to have the lawyer ar rested, but was told that the only one who could file charges against the lawyer was his (the lawyer's) wife. Unruh tried to have the lawyer ar rest him for the assault but there was nothing doing here. The affair has caused a jyofound sensation in the city, as the lawyer is well known. He is a Billy Sunday convert and until recently wasa mem ber of the First Baptist church. Dur ing the recent liquor fight he took an active part in the talk against the saloons.

It is a day of sport, talk, toil and trade in distinc tion to the quiet Sunday of London, twice as large and guarded by one tenth the soldiers.
