BRooDED OVER A KILLING
Smith Became Insane and Shot Him
self With a Winchester.

Special to The Journal.
Basin, Wyo.. Aug. 2s.-W. F. Smith,
who shot and killed w. 8. Dirlam at
yelling, fifteen miles south Of Basin, in
the Big Horn basin, Wednesday, commit
ted suicide yesterday afternoon at his
ranch near yelling by shooting himself
thru the head with Winchester.
Dirlam and Smith quarreled over some
land matters, and when they parted Smith
supposed the matter had been adjusted
satisfactorily to Dirlam, but the latter
took several shots at him and he returned
the fire, killing Dirlam.
1t Is believed Smith went insane over
the affair. He was at one time sheriff
of Cherry county, Nebraska, and while
in office he broke up one Of the worst
gangs of outlaws that ever infested the
west. After settling in the Big Horn
basin he broke UP the Norwood gang Of
desperadoes.
