Sioux City, Oct. s.-,Initial steps for
the big real estate convention to be
held in Sioux City were taken yes.er-
day at the weekly luncheon of the Real
Estate Association at the Hotel West,
when President w. L. Frost was au-
thorized to appoint an executive COM
mittee of seven to work out the de-
tails.
The action of the association fol-
lowed a strong talk by E. A Burgess,
president of the commercial club, VINO
believed that such a convention would
bring to Sioux City 1000 or 1000 real
estate men and land agents from all
! parts of the northwest. While the char
acter of the meeting is not yet deter
mined, it probably will be along some
what different lines than originally
suggested. The land sale will not be
! neglected, but the principal object. Of
the gathering will be to boost strongly
for the land in the Missouri valley and
the northwest 1t is proposed to have
a program similar in many ways t.
that of the National Real Estate con-
ventions and to bring good speakers.
| Mr.. Burgess predicted that the meet
Ing could be made a great success. He
said the best land in the world was tc
be found in Iowa, Nebraska and the
Dakotas. and despite this fact hun
dreds of men looking for new locations
passed over this section to go to Texas
and the far northwest. He was con-
WINGED that the land men of the snalle,

/ City for convention which would

Mr.. Burgess suggested that January
would be the best time for such con-
vention, as the busy season would be
over. He moved that the old commit
tee be discharged and that an executive
committee composed of seven be ap-
pointed by the president to have chargs

John Erwin Enters Home of Divorced
Wife at Night, Finds Roy Smith
There, Kills the Former, Seriously
Wounds Smith, Then Fires Bullet
Thru His Own Head.

Des Moines, Oct. S.-John Erwin, a
laborer living on South Fifth street,
shot and killed his divorced wife at
$3.50 O'clock last night, then shot a
nsighbor, Roy Smith, who tried to pre-
vent the tragedy. To add to the hor-
ror, Erwin then turned the gun unon
himself and sent bullet crashing thru
his brain. He and his wife died all
most instantly and the other man is
seriously injured.
The police were notified at once and
a squad of officers was sent to the
scene of the tragedy by Assistant Chief
of Police Day.
The full details of the crime were
not known this morning Only the
most meagre information was given to
the police when the first news of the
tragedy was telephoned to the police
station.
Erwin and his wife had been Dr.
vorced.
Smith was in the home visiting Mrs
Erwin when Erwin walked in and shot
both of them Smith will recover.
The case is almost identical with that
of Sweeney, except that there is a
third party.
Both Erwin and his wife were dr.
vorced and the man had made several
attempts to effect a reconciliation. Last
night he went to the home of his wife
and shot her with a 2-caliber Iver-
johnson revolver, then shot Smith. The
third bullet penetrated Ervin's head
entering just above the right eye. The
bullet that killed his wife took effect
above the right eye also. Two sons sur
