Placed in Jail Again-Tore Things
Loose when He Rcgained Liberty.
Yesterday morning Homer Smith,
"the wild man of Elm Grove" securely
handcuffed, was taken to the county
Jail to pay the penalty imposed for hi
laritIes practiced on his fellow citizens
Tuesday evening. Homer was released
from the Jail on Tuesday, and after
tanklng up he boarded freight train
on Sixteenth street, narrowly escaping
getting caught under the wheels, and
thence he rode safely to the Grove,
where things llvened up considerably
after his arrival. When sober, Homer
is personally peaceable citizen. but
under the influence OF the ardent he
cuts the atmosphere into all kinds of
chunks. Marshal Fitzgerald essayed to
nut him in durance vile, but Homer up
set the officer by sundry contortlons Of
his brawny arms. and 1t took six men
finally to place the miscreant in the
lookup.
There are several natives OF the
Grove who claim that life would be a
dreary dirge without Homer Smith and
BIZ Wilson running loose, and they are
lonesome when the aforesaid are be-
hind the bars. Homer was sent to the
asylum by Squire Fitzpatrick and la
ter released, and the law-loving por-
ton of the community are hoping for
some measures that Will restrain him
from his outbursts of violence.

operation from the number OF frames
or skeletons OF the dog race found

conditions; cur dogs, yellow, black and

for laZlness and general worthlessness
would put to shame the late departed

Some families have ms high us from
three TO five dogs and others one each
for every member of the family. II
the authorities would levy and collect u
tax on each and every dog u sufficient

A Sunday Tragedy.

Maddened by jealousy and broken
hearted Jas. A. Moore shot at the man
he believed had aliented his wife 8
affection and then grasping the woman
killed her and committed suicide Sun
day afternoon in the Jewish cemetery
at Fort Smith.
The cause which led up to the killing
dates back many months ago when they
both were attending the Salvation
Army meeting and became acquainted
with man by the name of Souther. 1t
was then she transferred her affections
from her husband to Souther, and as
the result this ended in a separation and
suit for divorce.
Sunday Moore met his wife, child and
Souther on the street near the Texas
corner and asked permission to speak to
his little girl which was granted. He
took the little child in his arms and
kissed her and then asked to speak to
his wife. She replied by saying that
she had nothing to say to him and pass
ed on with the child and Souther going
to the Jewish cemetery. They had not
been there long when they discovered
that they had been followed by Moore.
Once more he approached them and
asked his wife leave to speak to her to
which question she replied by telling
him to say what he had to say, he at
the same time requesting that Souther
go away. but that individual spoke up
saying that as he had brought her there
he would see her home. This was too
much for Moore who drew a revolver
and fired two shots at Souther who
leaped over wall and made his escape.
Turning he grasped his frightened wife
drew her to his side and placing the
revolver against her temple, fred
sending ball into her brain, killing
her almost instantly. He then placed
the weapon to his own head and fired
killing himself.
There are three children left and the
Oldest daughter had been her mother

laundry.
