PIERCED HER HEART.
A Suicidal Bullet Ends Mrs. Fan
ME Bailey's Life.

A Suicidal Bullet Ends Mrs. Fan.
ME BaiIey's Life.
At 1920 o'clock yesterday morning
the report of a revolver attracted Mrs.
Sexton, the landlady in the Cascade
laundry block, to room four, occupied
by Harry Bailey and his wife Fanny.
On opening the door Mrs. Sexton saw
Mrs. Bailey lying, partially dressed, on
the floor, with the blood gushing from a
wound near her heart.
whats the matter with you?" gasped
Mrs. Sexton.
Ppm shot For Heavens sake go and
tell Charlie!" replied the wounded wO-
man.
Mrs. Sexton called the janitor, John
Johnson, and he ran around to Stokes
saloon, on Fourth street, where
Bailey is employed as bar keeper.
Bailey was much affected when he
learned that his wife was hurt, and ran
quickly to his room, but she was not
there. She was dead. Several phySi-
clans arrived moment later, but the
woman was past all need of aid from
them. Coroner Towers soon arrived,
and, after making brief investigation,
decided to have the remains removed to
Connolly's Morgue, where Drs. Spring
and Nippert held post mortem exam
ination during the afternoon. and where
an inquest will be held to-day.
The cause, SO far as can be learned,
of the woman's desperate deed was, di-
rectly or indirectly, her inordinate love
for intoxicants. According to the
admissions of her husband and
the statements of otherSS who
knew her, the unfortunate creature
has long been addicted to the use of
both whisky and morphine, and has
been under the influence of one or the
other most of the time of late. She had,
in fact become such an habitual drinker
that her husband has lately threatened
to leave her and live by himself if she
did not reform. Either fear that he
would make good his threat OF temper
airy insanity caused by her vicious
habits may have moved her to take her
own life. While there are no circum-
stances connected with the case that
lead the authorities toesuspect any one
of knowing more than they would care
to tell regarding the matter, and the
facts, so far as learned, point to suicide.
Coroner Towers intends to make
thorough investigation of the case.

JAY" REPORTING.
A Respectable Family Brutally
Slurred by Evening Papers.

Slurred by Evening Papers.
W. Fl. Finnegan, residing at 100
Fourth street north, is justly indig-
nant citizen. A young man called at
his house Tuesday night, saying he
wished to rent room. Mrs. Finnegan
showed one, and he engaged it. When
Mr.. Finnegan came home from the state
fair grounds, where he is employed, he
took the precaution to call on the new
ledger and ask him to pay his rent in
advance. The fellow would neither do
this nor vacate, so Mr.. Finnegan called
policeman and had him arrested for
disorderly conduct. Yesterday the case
came before Judge Mahoney in the
municipal court, and Mrs. Finnegan
was called on as witness. She had
never before in her lifetime been in a
court room, and was naturally much
confused. She understood the judge to
ask her maiden name, and gave it as
Bertha Norton. AS result, couple
of careless and previous evening paper
reporters jumped at the conclusion that
she was unmarried, and did not bear
the name of the man with whom she
lived. They added some alleged hui
merOus comments, and gave quite a
salacious coloring to their reports of the
affair. 1t will probably interest the
proprietors of the papers to learn that
Mr.. and Mrs. Fihnegan are entirely re-
spectacle and are we'll known in the city.
They have been married about ten
years, and have raised family of chill
dren. Although they are not wealthy,
they value their reputation somewhat,
and couple of libel suits are to result
if proper explanations are not made
with becoming haste. The man who
was arrested gave his name as A.
Wimpfeimer. He has been living on
charity about town, and his mind a ap,
guilty. but the court suspended SEN
tence on him.

Uses to be as good as both of last years
books. 1t is Mr.. Davson's seventeenth
volume. The directory will be deliv-
cred to patrons in few days, but the
GLOBE is able, through the courtesy OF
Mr.. Baldrey, to furnish the public
the essential facts which it will
show as to population. The in
is SAP, and the total number of names
in the book is 79,722. Using the null
tiplier two and a half, which was
adopted last year, and which is GER
tainly low enough to be conservative,
the directory shows population in
Minneapolis of 1919, 555, a gain of 1860
since the sixteenth volume appeared.
The recorded gain of population in
Minneapolis is backed up by the other
evidences of growth, namely, increase
in voting population and in school at
tendance. Minneapolis cast "a, 1919 votes
in November, 1888, which, allowing SIX
persons to every voter, gave population
of 204.774. The directory publishers
IN their introduction to the volume thus
speak of the improvements and growth
of the city:
1.-The question of population is
source of never-ending argument; the
census certainly settles it, but as it is
only taken once in ten Years. the inter
vening period affords ample opportunity
for the formation of estimates, based on
such data as can be gathered from va
rious sources, more or less reliable.
The closest estimates are made from
directory canvasses and the number of
votes cast in each city. The following
figures will show the total vote cast in
some of the prominent cities of the
country at the last election, the popula-
ton in 1880 as shown by census, the

R. II. Taylor, an employee of Lilli-

going fishing and might not
be back at night. his return depending
on his success. He took boat in the

boat occupied by Taylor was found

which contained a pocketbook, in which

Judge Shaw holds that the firm so

which the judge alleged was the taking
of about 5000 by each of the three men,

about $4,000 for private use.
Fred Hass sues J. a. Wolverton and
Mark Lewis for $4,000. These defend
ants were sureties for Willis Baker and
DR.. A. A. Camp when Mr.. Hass' case
