SHOOTS DOWN MAN
WHO SLAPPED WIFE
PR0ENlX LAB0RER KILLED IN
HIS OWN HOME
Friend of the Family Resents Hus-
bands Abuse and Stays Him
When Assailed--coiIapses
After Murder
[By Associated Press!

PHOENIX, Oct. 25.--Folowing close
upon the Clark killing, with intoxi-
cation also as its cause, came news to-
night of the staying of Ossian M. But
ton of Phoenix by Jesse Pierce of
Mesa City.
The tragedy occurred about o'clock
on East Madison street, at the home
of Buttons wife, from whom he had
been separated.
A short time ago Button went to the
house during his wife's absence and
took away and sold most of the furni-
ture. When he returned to the house
this evening he had been drinking and
immediately began to abuse his wlfe'
finally slapping her in the face.
Pierce, who was friend OF the ram
lily, sinterfered and Button started to
assault him also.
Pierce then pulled large revolver
and fired two shots, each taking ef-
feet In Buttons body.
Death was matter OF only few
moments.
Pierce collapsed on learning what he
had done and had to be supported to
a carriage which took him to jail.
Button was laborer, employed IN
a lumber yard. He leaves two child
rem. two and four years old.
Pierce has been q farmer and mer-
chant, and was inspector last summer
at Imperial for cantaloupe shippers
He has borne good reputation.
Tom Clark, the poolroom keeper, who
was shot last Tuesday night by Pom
padour Dick Fletcher, died this morn
ing. Fletcher is being held without
bond for examination.

SOLDIERY ON GUARD
AT REELFOOT LAKE
Extra PrecautIon Deemed Necessary
When Court convenes to lnvesti-
gate Murder Of Rankin by
Night Riders
nav Asaoclated Preas.1

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 25.-What
may happen this week as result of
night rider depredations in. the north
western section of this state is a mat
ter of conjecture.
Tomorrow, with the convening of the
circuit court for Ohio county in spe-
cial session at Union City, formally to
investigate the death of Quentin RAN
kin, who was killed by night rider
band at Walnut Log, near Reelfoot
lake last Monday night, that section
will be under complete military domina-
ton. Five companies of the state
guard will be at the disposal of Colonel
Taton. To aid the militia the adjoining
counties have been drawn on for possess
of picked men.
In the Reelfoot lake district the lake
itself is the source of contention. 1t
was asserted by those living in the
vicinity that it was their right to ply
their vocation as fishermen in its
waters without molestation, while the
owner of the land upon which the lake
it situated took an opposite view. In
the courts the latter was upheld.
The sessions of the court will be under
military protection.

ENDS LIFE BY
TAKING POISON
]. NEWTON BUNCH GOES TO
LONELY ARROYO
During Consciousness Unfortunate
Man Kept Saying, "Judse, She's
nnocent"-BeIieved He Re-
ferred to Codefendant

J. Newton Bunch, a notary, having
offices at 7O2 South Spring street and
living at 645 Dearborn avenue, com
mitted suicide yesterday by taking
strychnine in ravine near Redondo
beach. He was found in dying con-
dition by l.. j. and H. Weddington and
J. Simpson, who were hunting for quail,
and was removed to the receiving hos
pital at Redondo.
DIR. Freeman, who made an examina-
tion, saw that the case was hopeless,
although he.used every method known
to medical science to save the mans
life.
Bunch died at the hospital at $40
O'Clock last evening, and his body was
taken to a Redondo undertaking estab-
lishment.
At noon yesterday while the men who
found Bunch were on the watch for
birds they heard groans as if someone
was in agony. A search was begun and
the victim of self-murder was soon dis
covered lying in an unconscious state
in the bottom of a secluded arroyo.
He did not revive until after he had
been taken to the hospital and then
consciousness came only at intervals.
During his rational spells he kept cry
ing: Judge, she's innocent"
In the pockets of the victims cloth
ing were found business cards bearing
his name, place OF business and ad-
dress. Upon the cards are inscriptions
reading: 81 and my father are one"
"Ye shall be as Gods" and wrong no
man."
While no certain motive for the sui
eide is known, it is believed by those
who know something of the history of
the unfortunate victim that litigation
which is now pending and in which he
figured as a defendant had much TO
do with his desire to end his life. 1t
is known he was a defendant with
Charles c. Cole, Annie L. Cole, d. H.
Golden and Vesta r. Golden in a GRIM
inal case, in which all are charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, preferred by Joseph B. Alex
ander.
Alexander claims he was induced to
part with valuable city property in ex-
change for a mortgage of $4,000 on Riv-
erside land which he alleges is practi-
cally worthless. Last Friday Alexan-
der brought civil suit against Bunch
and others to have the transaction an
nulled and Saturday the defendants
named in the criminal case were ar
raigned in Justice Summerfield's court
and released upon bonds.
Mrs Mary A. Rogers figures in the
case as having been the owner of the
land in Riverside, and the county au-
thorities are searching for her, al
though they say they believe the wo-
man to be a myth. But the incoherent
statements of Bunch while dying,
would lead to the belief that he had
reference to Mrs. Rogers. who is named
as defendant in the civil case.
other cases are said to be pending
aaginst these defendants, one of which
is that of Mr.. and Mrs. s. M. Shrader,
for a similar transaction as that of
Alexander.
