Mrs. Shide's father. George Kricdle. is wealthy, and in some way Shida incurred his enmity and he refused to admit his son-in-law to his premises. This caused trouble in the Shida family, anil about, two months ago Mrs. Shide having been driven to mental decrepitude attempted to take her life by jumping in the well but was rescued and saved. Her parents then took her home and refused to let, her visit, her husband and I-year-old baby. This drove her to desperation and she ended her life. Neighbors insisted that Kriedle should permit Nhide to see his dead wife and succeeded in getting his consent. The husband was summoned, and as he entered the room George Kriedle, Jr., brother of the dead girl, grubbed a large revolver and opened lire on Shida and would have killed him had not friends interfered. The altercation occurred within feet of Mrs. Shide's dead body and caused a panic among the crowd that had gathered to view tlus corpse.
