A Neighborhood Terrorized by Revolver

Waving a formidable looking gun and threatening to do all sorts of nasty things with it, Mrs. Jack Smith, alias Anderson, terrorized the neighborhood at Third and Poplar last night. The particular object of the irate woman's wrath was the lady proprietor of a Poplar street boarding house who had taken refuge behind locked doors when the police arrived. Mrs. Smith retreated to the home of her mother, a short distance away, where she was overhauled by Officer Casey a few minutes afterward. She had effectively secreted the gun, and any amount of searching on the part of the officer failed to locate its whereabouts. The woman has marked propensities for making gun plays; she was taken to the police station and given the alternative of leaving town or standing trial for her little episode. She chose the former and left the city last night. The trouble is said to have originated over the lady proprietor's accompanying Mr. Smith to several entertainments of late. Why Mrs. Smith should be jealous of her husband, she being the plaintiff in a racy divorce suit against him, is beyond the comprehension of the police.
