BoNHAM, Tex. May 4.-Yesterday about

Mayo 10 miles north of here on the Red
River. Sirkle and Mayo were making a,

Mrs. l.. L. Mayo, the mother Of deceased,
was keeping house for them. Deceased
made a dying declaration saying the trouble
arose about a woman. Late yesterday even
ing Sirkle was sitting on the porch when he
saw Mayo walking into the yard with gun
and coming toward the house. As lie had
threatened to shoot SiTkle the latter ran
into his room and came out to meet him.
Mrs. Mayo rushed in between them and en-
deavored to stop the fight, but Sirkle, be-
leving that Mayo was going to fire, raised
his gun and fired both barrels at Mayo. He
remained standing, and, thinking he was
not badly hurt, SiTkle ran into the house,
put fresh shells in his gun and came out
again. Seeing Mayo kneeing on one knee,
with his gun lying close TO his side, he
poured the contents of both barrels into his
victim, who fell 10 the ground and expired.
The right arm was broken between the ell
bow and the shoulder and the side filled
with shot. The left arm and leg of de-
ceased were also broken. Sirkle was arrested
and committed to jail this evening on q
charge of murder His examining trial viii
