FORT WORTH, Tex., June 10
—A 40-year-old former Arlington
hardware merchant was in jail
here today facing charges of as-
sault to murder as the result of
a gun battle with officers that
followed a domestic argument yes-
terday.
The man was to be charged
with shooting at Police Chief Otto
Cribbs of Arlington, who rescued
the man's wife from their home.
The wife said the husband at-
tempted to kill her with a shot-
gun.
Tarrant county officers sur-
rounded the house, and one wound-
ed the husband in the arm during
a brief gun battle. Deputy sheriff
E. C. Watson narrowly escaped
death when a neighbor, mistaking
the officer for the suspect, shot
at him.

After Big Shock
Mrs. E. R. Hall whose home

perhaps she is pretty lucky, aft-
er all. While digging in a flow-
er bed in the yard at her home
Wednesday, Mrs. Hall had tak-
en particular pains with a cer-
tain bush to see that1 it was
properly arranged.
While handling the plant she
discovered that there was a
huge tarantula perched under-
neath a branch. After giving
the insect a lot of room for a
few minutes in order to recover
from the shock she returned and
killed it. ,
The tarantula measured almost
four inches from stem to stem.
