Las Vegas Woman
Kills Her Husband

Shortly before noon of Thanksgiv-
ing day, Beatrice Withers requested
her husband John to go to town after
a loaf OF bread to complete the
Thanksgiving dinner. John had been
drinking and refused to 20. Beatrice
then requested John to give her back
her money which he had and John re-
taliated by agreeing to beat her up.
The alteration took the parties
into the back yard where John at
tempted to put his threat into execu-
ton. Beatrice ran into the house and
hooked the screen door. John pick
ed up a shovel and demolished the
door and Beatrice took her revolver
and fired a shot into the floor near
the door as a warning. This did not
deter John. He advanced into the
house, fortified himself with another
drink of whisky and then went to
where a bottle OF wine was standing
with the remark, 81 want a little
more tea, then I'll kill you" He took
a good drink of the wine, then took
the bottle by the neck, raised it in
position to strike and advanced upon
his wife. Beatrice fired again, the
bullet going through her husband
neck and severing the jugular vein
John exclaimed, "You shot my ID
arm off, go for a DOCTOR"
Beatrice ran for town, throwing
the gun away as she went. The
weapon was found where she said
she threw it, by w. H. Harkins, Joe
keate and w. B. Morrow. The doc.
tor came, but the wounded man died
in about twenty minutes. The trag-
edy occurred at a little shack on the
creek west of the depot, where the
parties lived.
The woman is now in the county
Jail awaiting preliminary examina-
tion.-Las Vegas Age.
