home of a wealthy citizen in the most

young man named Chappell, one of the

sewing machine from this agent, but it
did not work well and she found it
necessary to call him number of times
to put il in order. Three or four days
ago, while on one of these errands he
grossly insulted her, but she did
not tell her husband. through fear, she
says. Saturday Chappell was called
again, but did not come until Sunday
evening. When Mrs. lsh saw him
coming she called to her husband,
who was in his mothers yard, a
few doors away, and Chappell and
lsh entered the house together.
Chappell, after some conversation,
went into the front bedroom, where
the machine was, and Ish went down
cellar after some kindling When in
the room with Mrs. Ish, Chappell again
became insulting in his manner, and
on taking hold of Mrs. Ish she began
to fight him, at the same time calling
for help.
Immediately Chappell drew from his
hip pocket revolver, but Mrs. Ish
snatched it from him and fred every
chamber at him. just at this mo-
ment Ish, who had heard his wife's
cries. came running into the room, hav-
ing first secured his own revolver, and
his wife snatched this from his hand
and fired four more shots at her assail-
ant. He fell to the floor shot in four
places-in the neck and directly over
the heart-and died instantly. Mr.. Ish
then ran to Clark's drug store near
by and notified the police and coroner.
The body was taken to the morgue and
Mrs. Ish placed in custody. She was
formerly Miss Mabel Ruger, of Ere
mont, and had been married almost
three wears
