A SERIOUS CHARGE. Ir. JTugh I. Wood of Angola Threatened with Prosecution. Angola. Feb. 5. Special. Charges have been preferred before the Steuben county medical society against Dr. Hugh D. Wood of Angola, charging him with conduct unbecoming' a member of that society in performing an operation on Jennie Stowe of Metz, a small town adjacent to Angola, thereby causing the death of the girl and her unborn child some time last December. The girl, it is alleged, underwent an operation at the bands of Rr. Wood, which

resulted in death. The physician denies that he had anything to do with the case whatever.

PHIL FAHRBACH DEAD ANO BESSIE PITMAN DYING. SlAd with .Jealousy the Dead Man "hoots Mistress nnd ntniself-Fossibility That Another DInn Was Involved in the ARair Stories Told j the Inmates o the House A Visitor's Experience. A mysterious shooting affray, resulting in the death of one person and the wounding, perhaps fatal y, of another, occurred in a resort kept by Desie Pitman, otherwise known as Bessie Bell, at 172 W. Market-sL, about 6 o'clock Saturday morning. Many stories are connected with the atlair. but the truth as near as on bo learned is as follows: Philip Fahrbach and Bessie Pitman were "lovers," and had been for two year; or more. He was insanely jealous of his sweetheart, and many violent quarrels had occurred between them on account of his accusing her of receiving the attentions of ether men. It is claimed that he hal often knocked her down and beaten her. It was about 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning when Opt. Quigley of the poiice department, who wa. standing on the cor ner of Washington and Misiseip;ists , taw Fahrbach, who was going west on Washington-st. When Ml?siüsip-pi-sL was reached Fehrbach turned north r;-V fA ?r J " S .X,? X ie.''-T X!m riTMA v. and went In the direction of the Pitman woman's house, wkere he srrived a few minutes later. According io the stery of the iajsred woman he knocked on ttie side door, which opens into her room. Mie aroae and let him in. and as she did s she saw that he was very much under the iuluence of liquor. The It Quarrel. Fehrbach began quarreling with her, accusing her ot unfaithfulness, and said that she had been '"keeping company" with other men. This eke denied, whea Le, without a momat'a waralng, stepreJ over to a dressing-case wkich eieod in the southwest corner of the reoin, and, ick in uo a revolver, the rroperty of the injured wouun, begsa firiag at e; Three shots were fired In rapid succession, snt of which took effect. The bullet etroek her just below tee right temple deftreylnf tie seht of her ritht eye and uiakiBg a fearful leokiag wor.nJ. huleido 3Ial Certnin. Fahrbach then turacd the revolver toward his own head. The wounded worunn, though the sight had gone from one eye ferever, saw his purpose and exclaimed "Oh. for God's sake, Pai , dsur, don't do that," and started toward him. Rut it was too late. Tke fatal shet was fired before she hnd taken two itt; s and Fahrbach fsll dying to the floor. lint u Sitter Saw. The iheti and the screams of the injured woman in the meantimo aroused the other inmates of the house who run in great l aste toward her roon. Rsskie's sifter Jennie was one of tho lirst t arrive at the door, and when it was opened she saw a fight the will remember as long as shtj lives. The room nrenpnttd a horriblo appearance. Everything was covered witti blood, nnd in the midst of it all. lying on the floor corered with blood and' in a dring, condition, lay Fahrbach. Her sister Retail, who presented a night even more fearful, was bending over the dving man wringing her hand and screamiug. By tliis time the other inmates of the house had gone into the room an 1 Rsio. wh woi nearly crazed with grief and pain, had run all over the honst leaving a trail of blood behind her. She lhrw bor arm about her sister and excluimed : "Is he dead? For God's take dou't say he is dead." She never seemed to think about her own condition hot inquired constantly atter her "lover" who waa dying in another room. . A Visitor's Rgperlenc. A mnn who wns occupying a room with one of tha inmites of ttie house, was teping when the shooting occurred. Ho waa awakened by the shots and in a verv short time IleSde rsn into his room ami fell in a dead faint acro s the bed in which he was Iving, covering him and the bed with blood. He hastily jumped out of the bed and at the suggestion of some one ran down the alley to (.'ones' oterall feetory and telephoned for Dra. EUenbi-e ami Poiicti Surgeon Farp, who arrived shortly über th shooting accompanied by by u number of Hlicsre. One of the inmates oi the hoite had, in tha meantime, run ftcmsa the street barefooted to the resicrn of liesaie's mother, Mattie Re 1 1, who I ves on the opposite side a few dor firlht r we id. The surgeons had the wounds of the injured woman drwssad and the dead body of the man removed when the mother arrived. She hurried into the renin and threw herself on the bed aud kissed the one apot on h-r daughter's face not covered witti bandages. Mutnl Mother Grief. She immediatsly bunt out crying, and exclaimed : "Oh, ray poor girll" "Don't cry, mother, don't cry; God knows I could not help it," responded the wounded woman. the then seemed to realize what had hamend, and cried: My God l ia be dead? Oh, don't aay he is dead, mother." The girls in the house wer not very anxieus to talk about tho atlair when questional by a Suntinu, reporter laut night. They aeemel to know little or nothing about it. aud were positive that only two shots were fired. They were probably honest in their belief in regard to the shots, for all claim that they were asleep and had been asleep aome hours when the fearful tragedy toek place and it is likely thai they did not distinctly bear the first two shots fired. A Trail of Iltood. From the door of Bessie's room opening into the alley a trail of blood started. Jt could be followHl across tha treet
