Oelwein, Feb. 12.-Much to the sur
prise of many people here the grand
Jury returned no Indictment against
Mrs. L. b. Carr, who had been charged
with numbering her husband, barber
of this place, two months ago.
Mrs. Carr is resident of Oelwein
The tragedy for which she was ar
rested is well remembered. Mr.. Carr
and his wife were found in their
apartments one night, he dead, shot
three times through the head, and
she suffering with two bullet wounds
in the breast.
Mrs. Carr, as soon as she was re-
vived to condition where speech was
possible, said her husband had shot
her and then committed suicide.
The coroner's jury after a careful
decided that Mr.. Carr
could not have sent the three bullets
crushing through his brain, that any
one of the shots would have been fatal.
Mrs. Carr, though apparently fatally
hurt at first, gradually recovered and
when able was arrested and taken to
the Jail at West Union to await the
action Of the grand jury.

CAN'T FIND DAUGHTER
Mrs. H. c. Fralicl<, of Lyons, Has Been

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Clinton, Feb. 12.-After two years
of searching for her daughter. Mrs.
Nellie MCGEE Mrs H. c. Fralick of
Lyons, is still unable to find out
whether the woman is dead, and is
nearly distracted with grief and uncer-
tainty. She believes that Mrs. MCGEE
may have been destroyed in the Iro-
quois holocaust, altho she is inclined
to the belief that her daughter is in
an insane asylum, driven mad by the
horror of that awful fire. Only two
weeks before the fire, Mrs. FTalick re-
ceived a letter from her daughter. In
the missive, Mrs. McGee spoke of her
intention Of sending Christmas pres
ents to her parents and to her daugh-
ter, Cecilia MCGEE, who is living with
her grandparents. Never dreaming
that this letter would be the last she
would receive from her daughter,
Mrs. Fralick did not preserve it. With
the loss of the letter, Mrs. Fralick also
lost the address of her daughter, and
has been unable to remember it,
Then came the terrible catastrophe.
Mrs. Fralick waited some time for
word from her daughter, thinking that
Mrs. MCGEE might write, But no
letter came and finally the mother,
fearing the worst, wrote in care of
general delivery. That letter was re-
turned and so were numerous others
that were sent to general delivery.
Almost distracted. and thoroughly
convinced that her daughter was
either dead of else in some hospital
or insane asylum, Mrs. Fralick wrote
a letter to the chief of police in Chi
cago, enclosing a picture OF her
daughter. The chief reported that
there was no person answering that
description in the hospitals or insane
asylums Of Chicago. Yet unsatisfied,
the picture and a letter were in turn
sent to each of the hospitals or sani-
tariums that Mrs Fralick could learn
Of In each case the letter and pic
ture were returned.
