PURSUED WIFE KILLS
TOO PERSISTENT SUIT0R
Dallas w. Smith Had Annoyed Mrs.
Fischer With Attentions for
Many Years.

OKLAHOMA CITY. July 29.-Dallas
w. Smith was shot and instantly killed
yesterday by Mrs. Daisy Fischer. the wife
of E. v. Fischer of this city. Smith
appeared at the hear door Of the Fischer
home armed with revolver. Mrs
Fischer opened fire with a Winchester
rife, and sent FIVE shots into his body,
one of which plowed through his brain.
He dropped dead.
Mrs. Fischer and her husband say that
Smith was her sutton ten years ago in
Hannibal, Mo. Smith continued his at
tentions Notwithstanding her marriage.
Frequent quarrels occurred between the
husband and Smith and finally. to avoid
conflict, Fischer and his wife left Han
nibal and came to Oklahoma. Smith fol-
lowed and frequently made visits to their
home against their protest. Several en-
counters occurred between Smith and
Fischer.
Smith made his appearance here March
10 and attempted to enter the Fischer
home. Mrs. Fischer locked the door and
telephoned her husband, who came post
haste to her relief, and dubbed Smith into
insensibility. He continued to hang
about town and frequently came into
contact with the police on various
charges.
Mrs. FISCHER was placed under arrest in
charge of her husband. Public opinion
is in favor of the woman, and probably
she will not be prosecuted.
