Through Jealousy

Sunday at 8:15 o'elock p. m., Thomas Xinde, a hostler at the Hawkins House, with delibérate intent to kill shot Miss Mildred Young, a waitress a-t the same house. The weapon used was a Smith t Wesson r-evolver of 38 caliber, but by the merest chance the bullet was turned aside from its path to her heart by a corset steel. On the completion of his dastardly deed the would-be murderer hastened to the city jail and gave himself into custody. Ninde had been desperately in love with Miss for some time, but being una'ble to awakcn the slightest responsive feeling had gradually come to regard her vvith an insane jealousy. Knowing that Miss Young haJ terminaled contract with her employer and that she and her sister were to leave for their home in Carleton on Monday, Ninde gradually worked himself up to the point where murder was a matter of calm reflection and execution. Seeing the two sisters and some friends from the hotel leaving for a walk, the desperate man followed them, and directly across the road from the Cleary Business College stopped the lady. The following conversation took place : "llillie," said Ninde, "I want to speak with you a minute." "What is it?" "I want to speak with you prlvately." "If you have anything to say tx me, Torn, you can say it before this lady. You have created two scènes for me alrpuüv and vou must not créate a third." Mrs. Curtís, wife of the bartender at the Hawkins House and employed in the dining room, saw that trouble was brewing and took Millie by the arm as, if to draw her away. As she was doing I this, Ninde drew his revolver quickly and said, as he pulled the trigger: "Well, here is the third scène then." The presence of the corset steel defleeted the bullet from the vital organ and the wound caused in her breast was not so painïul but that with the anee of her companions she could walk back to the hotel. A physician was at once summoned and everything possible was done to make her comfortable. The moment the shot was fired Ninde ran rapidly to the jail and burst in upon the keeper with the exclamation: "I have done it. Lock me up." At first Mr. Jackson fancied that the man was insane, but flnally getting an inkling of the true state of affaire promptly placed him in a cell. Returning after a short I time the keeper found Ninde sleeping as ealmly and peacefully as an infant. The only motive for the crime as yet made clear is that of frenzied anger at knowing that the lady of his choice was about to leave the city without even a passing regard for him. Of late months Ninde has been dissipating heavily, but witnesses state that on Sunday evening he was perfectly sober. Thomas Ninde is the son of the late Judge Ninde and a nephew of Wm. Crane, of Vail & Crane, of Detroit, and oí Albert Crane, of the late law firm of Uhl & Crane, of Grand Rapids. Young Ninde has never manifested either the ambition or the ability of his family, but hos eontented himself with making a living as jockey and horse man. The young lady, Miss Mildred Young, is. according to all reports, a most estimable person. During her residenee in this city she has given the most complete satisfaction to her employers and has always possessed an unblemished reputation. Freemont Pattison's emporium was broken into recently and the till ransacked. Fortunately for Mr. Pattison, he had but a short time before made a deposit at the bank.
