Bader and was treated with kindness by
his host and hostess On the following
morning Mr. Bader started to Capt SUIT
ter's house on business, Jackson saving
that he would remain as company to the
lady until the husbands return When
the husband returned he called aloud Sc
veral times for his wife without receiving
any answer; when he concluded to go to
the corral, get a horse and make search
for her; but Jackson met him at the bars
with his revolver presented, and informed
him that he could not leave there alive.

but the cap alone exploded. Bader then
searched for his pistol, but it was gone;
he ran to his shot gun, which he had load
ed the previous evening, but both barrels
were discharged Having given his horse
| to Jackson, who demanded it, he caught
another, and they both left the house to-
gether, the one to give the alarm, having
then become fearful of the fate of his de
voted wife, the other to make his escape

soon arrested, and the body of the Inflated
woman found in the slough near by where
she had been washing, with finger marks
upon her throat, a bullet hole in the left
breast, one on the right side of the back
bone, and upon a more close examination
by the ladies present, another bullet hole
was found in the side. Upon search, Ba-
der found that his trunk was minus TWEEN

of Jackson. The cnraged populace, know

around his neck and ran with him to a con-
venient tree and threw the rope over a
limb jackson was then asked to make
confession, which he refused to do, remark
ing that he had nothing more to say. Up
on this the order was given to haul him
away, when he was suspended about thirty
feet from the ground, where he still hangs
an example of the execution of Justice for
one of the most heartless, unprovoked and
fiendish murders that can ever disgrace the
pages of a criminal record. Bader and
his wife arc natives of Switzerland, and
Jackson Of Norway but all spoke Eng
