Smith, share farmer, won the
heart and hand of the lovely maid
en-, and she married him at Toma-
to, Ark, against the wishes of her
parents. From the day of the we'd
ding ceremony, according to neigh
bors, Smith continually upbraided
his bride for what he believed to be
indiscretions. Friends of Mrs. Smith
say she was unjustly accused, and
that Smith had no cause for jeal-
ouSy.
While children of Mrs. Henry
Pardue, who lives near the Smith
home, were playing in the rear
yard of the Smiths they heard cries
mother, and Mrs. Pardue arrived at
the Smith house in time to see the
young bridegroom accomplish his
own descrution. Smith, resting on
the bed on mis- knees was slashing
his throat with the dirk. BY his
side lay his bride, covered with
blood. Her head had been battered
with the pump pipe and her throat
gashed on both sides of the neck.
Frank Smith of Hales Point,
Tenn, father of the dead man, took
charge of the body, which was bur-
led at Walnut Grove, Tenn. The
remains of the young bride were
inferred at Gates cemetery, near
Barfield.

apparent they would soon overtake
and catch her. The last time the
wolf circled she came within easy
range of one of the hunters and he
brought her down with a well
placed shot. The dogs. emitting a
chorus of yelps that was almost
deafening, were within less than

the shot was fired. The wolf,
