Jo. Cummings and J. J. Pearson have been
partners in the saloon business at Lordsburg
for the past few months, coming there together
from Omaha. Mr. Pearson brought his wife and
three children to Lordsburg with him. It seems
that both Cummings and Mrs. Pearson under-
stood that the firm partnership was unlimited,
and that Mrs. Pearson extended as many favors
to the partner as she did to her husband. As
a consequence the domestic felicity of the here-
tofore happy family was somewhat shattered.
Pearson was a very unhappy man, and foolishly
attempted to drown his sorrows in Lordsburg
whiskey. Some time since Cummings was arrest-
ed for attempted rape on a little girl, and gave
bonds for his appearance. But his bondsmen
soon afterwards asked to be relieved from the
bonds, as they feared Cummings would “skip.”
Ke was then brought to this city, and while a
comparative stranger, soon succeeded in giving
bonds. Mrs. Pearson then left her husband and
children, came to this city and found employ-
ment with Dr. Gaddis, who knew nothing of
the woman further than that she was a good
worker. Cummings had a room in the same
house.
