Tragic love affair in Iowa.
--On Sunday evening last a week ago, Frank Yocum shot and killed William Ball, near Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
Both young men were laying attentions to the same young lady.
On the evening of the tragic occurrence, Yocum escorted her to church; when Ball, out of spite, untied Yocum's team.
They subsequently met, and after a few words, Yocum shot his rival with a revolver, instantly killing him. He then gave himself up to the authorities.
Both parties are said to have been highly respectable.--Yocum claims to have acted in self-defence.
