Bedford (IN) Weekly Mail, December 30, 1898, p. 3. Mrs. Dave Thomas fired two shots from a .38 caliber revolver at her husband in the north part of town late Tuesday evening. Mr. Thomas, who is a railroad section man, was a good deal alarmed by this demonstration on the part of his spouse and hurried downtown to inform the police. While Marshal Russell was looking for her, Mrs. Thomas went to the Columbia Hotel on the trail of hubby and flourished a pistol till the landlady and boarders were frightened almost to death. The porter was sent after the marshal who hustled in the direction of the hotel, meeting Mrs. Thomas on the way. She carried the pistol in her right hand in her jacket pocket, and Russell saw the gleam of the handle and grabbing her arm took the weapon away from her and placed her under arrest. As the jail is full of men, he was compelled to release her upon a promise to appear for trial.
