Show SELECTED. WOSIA5 SHOOTING. The 1'aeiSc Coast dispatched have lately referred two or three times to the shooting of a Mrs. Lake by a Mrs. Saviers, in the Grand Hotel, Stockton, California, on account of the former ; living in criminal intimacy with the I latter's husband. We clip the following follow-ing concerning tho parties from ihe Carson Register of Wednesday. Mrs. Like has since died: MRS. JULIA SCSAN LAKE, The wounded woman, was a native of Kentucky, aged SO years; had been married three limes, and had five children, chil-dren, one of whom (a boy) died eonie years ago. At the age ot 16 she was married to a man named Woif, in the States, and with him came across the Plains and settled in Washoe Valley in ISdS. Soon afterward Wolf became lOalous of Joseph J. Coddington, aud .d't her. At the time there was coa-iJerable coa-iJerable feeling among the settlers of A'ashoe about ihe matter, to allay ; which Coddington married her and removed to Genoa. She had two chil- clren by Woif, and by mutual consent they separated, the father taking the children. Nothing is known of Wolfe whereabouts, but he is supposed to be living. She had three children by Coddiogton: Thomas, now aged 12 years, being at present in Genoa;John, the second, died; and Olhe, aged 8 years, is now in this city. In 1S66 Mrs. Coddington left her second husband, and pending the hearing of her application appli-cation for divorce, Coddington was killed at Adobe Meadows, beyond Aurora, Au-rora, by being struck on the head with a six-shooter. Between two and three years ago Mrs. Coddington married her third and present husband, Augustus Au-gustus M. Lake, who is at present at Eureka or Hamilton. The intimacy existing between her and Saviers commenced com-menced last winter Lake having beeu . absent nearly two years. Some two ! months ago she left this city for Vir-! Vir-! ginia, Saviers leaving by stage the same evening for Reno, where the two met and proceeded to Stockton. At the latter place Mrs, Lake assumed a fictitious namo. But in the meantime their intimacy had not been unknown to Mrs. Saviers, who, on returning from a three weeks sojourn in San Francisco gave her husband a lecture about the matter, whereat, he became offended andjeft. Mrs. Saviers took the matter very much to heart, and came near dying of grief. Being informed in-formed of her dangerous illness, Saviers Sa-viers came over to see her, leaving Mrs. Lake in Stockton, whilher he returned re-turned a few days afterward. NELSON JAMES SAVIERS, The unfaithful husband, is a native ol Manbfield, Ohio, and is 36 years oi ;ige. Ho is a Royal Arch Mason, a Royal purple Odd Fellow, an Improved Red Man, a Good Templar, a photographist photo-graphist artist and a telegraph operator. oper-ator. His letters of late date from Stockton show that he was endeavoring endeavor-ing to deceive his wite into the belief that he was still iaithiul to her, and that he would Rhnrrlw.WiH fur hoc in tended she should reside. In the meantime, however, Mrs. Saviers was aware of his infidelity, and knew of the existing state of affairs in Stockton, or at least had satisiiictory evidence that he was living with Mrs. Lake. 3IRS. JULIA SAVIERS, Who fired the shots, is a native of Lo-ray, Lo-ray, New York, and is forty years oi age. She has been thrice married and twice divorced. She was married to and divorced from Frank Guy Seely, who for two or three years has been living in Treasure City. She was also married to and divorced from Aaron J. Spencer, who subsequently married again, and is now residing in San Francisco, with his family. She was married several years ago to Saviers, iu Churchill county, and for the past , .hrccorfour years they have resided iu this city, apparently as happy as the average of married people. She left this city on Saturday last for Lake Big-' Big-' ler, still in poor health, and much troubled in mind. Remarks purporting purport-ing to have beeu made by Mrs. Lake about Mrs. Saviers and her husband I preyed upon her mind, and probably excited her to the commission of the ' rash act. |
