Is it Murder?

Great Falls, Dec. 2.-Louis Edwards,
a bar tender, aged 80 years, was found
dead in bed this afternoon and a warrant
was Immediately issued for the arrest of
his wife, who left for the east at four
o'clock this morning.
Edwards was last seer alive at seven
o'clock yesterday morning, when he quit
work. He failed to come to work last
evening and a friend started to the
house to call him, but was met by Mrs.
Edwards, who asked him not to call, say
ing her husband was sick and did not
want to be disturbed.
About four o'clock this afternoon a
friend called at the house, but found the
door locked and on it a card in Mrs
Edwards handwriting saying she had
gone to Helena and would return in two
days.
Entrance wa S forced and Edwards wa
found dead in bed. Physicians express
the opinion that death might have been
caused by poisoning, and that it had oc-
Cured II or Is hours before the body
was discovered.
It was then learned that Mrs. Edwards
had hurriedly caught the train for the
east this morning, notifying no one OF
her departure, and Immediately the pc,
lice telegraphed to North Dakota officers
! to search the train and arrest.
An autopsy will be held tomorrow
Edwards had heart ~strouble, but thu
physicians are inclined to the belief thai
poison caused his death.
The couple had not lived happil,
having quarreled frequently and Mrs
Edwards had uttered some very bite
imprecations. The couple lived in Butt
until three years ago, Edwards beini
employed as a waiter in saloons and res
l t|Gurants.
