Sunday night,the husband came in and discovered her, with her head repos- ing gently upon the manly shoulder of the pill-pounder. The enraged jrontle- man drew his revolver and fired, nar- rowly missing the pharmaeist. Further developments followed, relative to the relations of the wife and the druggist, and it is said that a divorce is now con: templated by the injured husband.
