The Gray County Tragedy.

The Cimarron Jack sonian gives the
particulars of the horrible tragedy which
occurred at the home of S. l.. Kelly on
Novemb Der Sth, at which time Mrs. Reba
Burgess shot and Instantly killed hel
husband, Burke Burgess.
The trouble is said to have grown ont
of the jealousy of Mrs. Burgess of an
other woman Miss Maude Kelly. who re
sides about quarter of a mile from the
Burgess home
The news of the tragedy reached Gin
arron about 3 O'Clock Thursday evening.
Coroner George Hiatt summoned a jury
and repaired to the scene of the murder.
Reaching the Kelly place late in the eve
ming only part of the testimony was
taken when the further hearing was post
poned until ten O'Clock this morning.
The body of the deceased was brought to
town last night by L. d. Einsel.
The testimony shows that the decease
was working in his field and about IL
O clock he rode over to the Kelly home.
His wife saw him going there and at once
folio wed him. and arriving the. e soon aft
ter he did she entered the houseand claims
she founc her husband in comprolnis :
ing position with the Kelly girl, who was
at home alone, the other members of the
family being absent. a quarrel at once
ensued between the husband and wife,
and leaving the house they reached the
road just as Frank Lear rode up.
MIR. Lear says the woman began to tell
him her story and he tried to pacify her,
but she declared that if she had a gun she
would kill her husband. She finally said
thot Kelly had gun and she would go in
and get iu and fix them, evidently intend
ing to shoot the girl, too. She went back
into the house, and Mr.. Lear says he said
to Burgess. lido not go in there; that wo-
man is very mad" The deceased re-
piled, ''Oh, I'll go in and let her kill me
if she wants to- and went into the house
In few minutes Lear heard pistol sl OF
followed by the screams of the woman.
Lear ran to the house when Mrs burgess
jumped out through window tearing
fly screen out. On entering the house
Lear found the body lying the floor
near the front door and life extinct.
The pistol used was a 50 calibre, sthe
ball entering the face just below and near
the left corner OF the mouth, the bail
lodging in the head.
The Kelly girl soon after the trouble
began went out the back way and fed to
one of the neighbors, and was not present
when the shooting occurred.
The following persons were summoned
