SHOOTING MAY
REUNITE WIFE
AND HUSBAND
A. T. Turnipseed Slips by Norse
to Bedside of Girl Who Says,
"I Hoped You'd Come."
"DEAREST LITTLE GIRL;
TOO YOUNG TO THINK"
"She's the dearest litlo girl, the finest
little girl in all the world, and if she can
f?et well we'll be all right yet."
Brushing tears from his eyes yesterday
as he looked wirtfully at the door of the
ward at the city Hospital within whicn
his girl wife, Louis* cook Turnipseed, is
pufterina: from two bullet wounds in-
flicted by another suitor for her affec-
tions, A. T. Turnipseed, first-class gun-
ner of the Third Artilery, voiced the
affection which he holds as strong as the
day he married the lit lo woman whom
Kd D. Fisher shot twice Friday on
Polaris Street before ending his own
life.
By the world-old witchery which has
enabled some women to make slaves of
men, the 17-year-old victim of this trag-
edy has brought even more than her
husband, who is living and Ed Fisher,
wno is dead, under her spell. Another
anxious visitor at the hospital yesterday
is a man who had once been engaged to
the girl and who had even prepared for
the wedding which was to make her his
wife. Trouble as serious as that which
ended Ed Fisher's life has more than
once been imminent, friends of the girl
say, and the trouble might not have
stopped with the death of one man.
But the girl was not wantonly desirous
of the pain and the danger which she
might have caused others. She was sim-
ply gay. light-hearted, and unthinking of
what the consequences might be from her
coquetry, it is said.
"She was too young to think," pleaded
her husband yesterday, shielding her
from serious blame. "She liked to have
a good time and she liked to receive the
attentions of men, and she didn't realize
what it might lead to. She always had
her way, and especially with men. be-
cause they liked to give her her way,
and when she gets well 1 think she'il
know better and we can be happier."
Small Hope for Recovery.
So if the girl recovers from wounds
meant to kill her instantly, it may mean
the reconciliation of her and her husband.
But yesterday Dr. S. Burg, City Physi-
cian, who has attended her since the
Fifty Cents a Month
A small bottle of Scott's
Emulsion costing fifty cents will
last a baby a month—a few drops
in its bottle each time it is fed.
That's a small outlay for so large
a return of health and comfort.
Babies that are given
Scoit's Emulsion
quickly respond to its helpful
action. It seems to contain just
the elements of nourishment a
baby needs most.
Ordinary food frequently lacks
thi* nourishment; Scott's
Emulsion always supplies it.

shooting, would not hold out any definite
hope ut recovery.
"She is standing the shock well, con-
sidering," lie said, "hut she is paralyzed
yet l'rom the waist down from the bullet
which struck her spine, and wo can't
say how serious that wound is. If the
billlet did not injure the spinal cord and
did not penetrate the liver or some such
vital organs, she may recover. We can't
tell about that and will not for probably
thirty-six hours yet."
Although Dr. Burg advised and begged
the girl's mother to let the nurses take
full charge of the case, Mrs. John Tucker,
the mother, and her stepfather, stayed in
the ward, fanning the patient's face, giv-
ing her sips of water, and so far as they
could helping her bear the pain. Dr.
Hurg gave strict orders that all others,
including her husband, should be exclud-
ed from the ward while sho is in such
a critical condition. Turnipseed, her sol-
dier husband, came to the hospital early
and begged every attendant, from doctor,
steward, and nurses, to bo allowed to
see. his wife. Then when hospital dis-
cipline failed to yield, lie took the rules
in liis own hands and tiptoed uti to the.
second floor and into the waru where
the girl is lying.
"I hoped you'd come, whispered the
girl with a smile, as she saw him stand-
ing beside her eot. And the nurae in the
ward let an infraction of the rulus go
unrecorded. The patient was too weak to
talk and her husband realized this, so he
simply sat beside her for a few minutes,
and then tiptoes softly away again. Hut
before he left her she had exacted tlie
promiso that he would coine often to
se« her.
''I didn't know anything about tills
trouble until this morning," said Turnip-
seed in talking lo an acquaintance at the
hospital. "You know we had been sepa-
rated and 1 had gone back to the Post.
But I expected every day for her to
send me word that she wanted me to
tako her buck. 1 didn't think she was
in earnest about the divorce. She Just
told me that she wanted to go and stay
with 'mamma,' and 1 let her because 1
always let her have her way. I've gone
with her for four years or more, ever
since she was a little girl, and I guess
we've had break-ups a hundred times.
But she would always get over it and wo
would be Just the same.
Story of the Wedding.
"We were married January 3 at a
friend's house on Uovi rnmenl Hill and
went to a dance at Electric Park that
night. This man Fisher was there
with the Behmitter girl and Lou met him
first that night. He and Ills girl were in
a buggy, and when we got rotidy to go
l#ou wanted to go home with them, so I
put her in the buggy. So we separated
really the first night we were married.
About a week after that Lou sent for
me and wc began living in a house on
Hays Street, where 1 was hoarding at
the time. 1 was on a furlough and was
working In the city and had planned to
purchase my discharge from the service
when the furlough ran out, so we could
get a house and begin housekeeping
Then wc had another little break-up and
l.ou wanted to go home. 1 let her, hut I
thought It was just like the other quar-
rcls we had had.
"1 don't sen what made Ed Fischer go
so crazy. He and I were always good
friends in the service and we had been
good filends since he was discharged
and had gone into business. Lou hadn't
been over at the Schmltter house but a
few minutes when Fisher shot.
"If she can only live and we can make
up again. I urn going to purchase mv
discharge and we can go to housekeeping.
My home is in Montgomery. Ala., but T
am on my third enlistment now. and T in-
tended staying in San Antonio if T (rot
a discharge."
Undertaker Riebe late yesterday after-
noon received a telegram from Fisher's
parents at Kellv's Island, Erie Countv.
Ohio, directing the shipment of the body
to that place at once. Decedent's parents
are said to be prominent people of Kelly's
Island. Resides his parents. Fisher Is
survived by several brothers and sisters
all living in Ohio. The bodv was shipped
