VAN VERT MAN SHOT

Levi X. Jacobs. widely known as an
attorney and lodgeman, was instantly
killed last Friday night by a revolver shot
fired by Miss Lulu Wilson, who was his
housekeeper for a number Of years. The
tragedy occurred about nine o'clock at
the Jacobs home, on South Walnut St,
and confirmed the misgivings Of the resi-
dents Of the neighborhood and others who
for some weeks past had known that a
desperate situation existed there. In the
eyes Of the law the case is murder-the
taking of the life of another without jur-
isdiction, In the estimation of the woman
and her friends and acquaintances the
case is one of justiiable homicide-resist-
ing a grave offense at the peril of the life
of the assailant. The victim was shot
through the heart with a bullet from
thirty-two caIibre revolver and died in
stantly.-Van Vert Bulletin.
