Gold Hill has been luxuriating in all the
delights of a well developed case of scandal.
It seems that William Werney had reasons to
believe that his wife was not true to her mar-
riage vows, and began an investigation. Last
Saturday night Mrs. Werney was missing from
her home and Werney went to find her. He
said he had reason to believe she was up at
Henry Schrader’s house with the man he sus-
pected of ruining his family, Thos. Holman, and
so took his son and a six shooter and went up
to see about it. He went up very quietly, burst
open the door, the boy scratched a match and
the couple was in flagrante delicto. Werney
was about to kill Holman, when he thought of
his children, who would be left without a pro-
tector while he was in jail and so stayed the
fatal shot. He retired down the gulch and, be-
ing somewhat perturbed in mind, handled his
six shooter carelessly, and the result was he shot
himself in the left hand. Sunday he came down
town and had his hand dressed, and Monday
swore out a complaint charging Holman with
getting his wife drunk, and while she was in
that condition commiting the crime of rape.
Holman was arrested and examined before
Judge Jones, when he brought forth his story
of what happened last Saturday night. He
claims that Werney had discarded his wife and
that she had taken refuge at Schrader’s.

and while she was in
that condition commiting the crime of rape.
Holman was arrested and examined before
Judge Jones, when he brought forth his story
of what happened last Saturday night. He
claims that Werney had discarded his wife and
that she had taken refuge at Schrader’s. He and
a companion named Cooper heard she was des-
titute and went up to give her some money, out
of a pure feeling of charity. Holman went in
with the money while Cooper watched on the
outside to see that no one, especially Werney,
should discover the charitable deed. He was
sitting on the side of the bed, the woman having
retired, talking about matters, the room being
dark, when the husband burst in, looked around
and left. Nothing criminal had occurred. Judge
Jones seemed to think the story slightly gauzy
for he held Holman under $500 bonds to await
the action of the grand jury. C. S. Cooper and
L. Miller signing the bail bond for him. —
