BLACK SHEAR, Ca, Sept. 10.
A rustic dance in the lower part of Pierce
County was the scene of a sanguinary en-
counter between two country lasses Thurs
day night Miss Mabel Smith and her
niece, Miss Roxy Wilson, both daughters of
respectable farmers and bellies of the even
ing, were rivals for the hand of
country swain, whose personal attrac-
tons were enhanced in the eyes
OF the maidens by $4,000 estate
to which he is the only heir. His preference
1or Miss Smiths company was very marked,
and Miss Wilson became Infatuated with
Jealousy. Ateleven o'clock she was so mad
dened that she made open threats that she
would kill both her rival and her lover Her
brother, who was present, shared his sisters
anger, and, while they were all dancing in
the same set about midnight, secretly put On
open knife into his sisters hand and went
on with the dance Suddenly raising the
knife above her head, the Infatuated woman
sprang upon her aunt, and at the first strike
almost disemboWeled her. Before the
hoTrltled spectators could recover from
their establishment she raised the
knife again and plunged it to the hilt in the
dying woman's breast, cutting a cash which
laid open her dress and exposed the bleeding
wound to view Without waiting to see
the effect Of the wounds the murderess
sprang like tigress toward the throat of
the swain, but was seized and disar1ned be-
fore she could accomplish her purpose. The
woman's brother made no attempt to inter-
fere while the tragedy was being enacted,
and when it was over calmly walked away
and has not been seen since. The murder
ess. who is an unconmonly handsome coun-
Try girl Of nineteen years, is under arrest.
Her father is said to be worth $4,000
and to have announced his intention to
