TRAGEDY AT OMAHA.
Sewing Machine Agent Killed by an
Outraged Husband.

OMAHA. Neb., June e.-At o'clock this
evening W. II. Chappell was shot and in
stantly killed at the home OF James Ish,
in this city. He had sold the family sew
ing machine. and had been summoned sew
eral times to fix it, and was sent for Satur-
day. He came last evening instead, and.
according to the story told by Mrs. Ish
attempted to outrage her while her husband
was i'm another part of the house. She
claims that when she screamed Chappell
drew his gun, but that she grabbed 1T from
his hand and commenced shooting at him.
Her husband rushed into the room, revol-
yer in hand. and Mrs Ish says she grabbed
that revolver also and continued the shoot
ine In all nine shots were fired. four of
which struck Chappell. Mrs. Ish was
placed in custody, but later developments
Indicate that it is likely the woman's hus-
band did the shooting, and that the out
rage story was told TO screen him. Letters
found on the person of the dead man show
conclusvely that he and Mrs Ish had been
unduly intimate. Chappell came here from
Kansas City, where he was formerly de-
tective in the employ of one of the rail-
roads. He leaves a wife and one child.
