ing.
Mary Anderson. wife of Henry An
derson, a rich retired farmer, was
shot dead while in bed with her hus-
band and q, nine-months-old child.
Although circumstances point to bur
glary as a motive, other phases lead
the authorities to believe that some
other cause may be responsible. The
husband, crazed by the killing. is too
irrational to give correct story.
A negro who said his name was Will
Jackson was arrested on suspicion at
Galva. He tells a seemingly straight
forward story. Nevertheless, he is in
Jail.
Anderson told the sheriff he was
awakened at two o'clock by hearing
his wife shrek, ooh, Henry!" Jump.
ing out of. bed he ran down stairs
in pursuit Of flying figure, which
disappeared when the kitchen was
reached. Later Anderson told Cor.
oner's Physician Westlund that he
had seen two men. A small pocket
book containing SIT in bills is said by
Anderson to be missing. In plain
sight on the dressing case lay an open
jewel box containing gold watch and
Jewels to the value of several hundred
dollars.
