Otter Tail County Mans Reply to Pa
pers Served on Him in Suit
for Divorce.

Henry Bauer, aged thirty-five, a
farmer residing in Otter Tail county,
entered the Lewis hotel at Detroit

her almost instantly. He then turned
the revolver on himself and fell dead

of age. The couple had been unable
to agree and for several months past
the woman had been employed as a
domestic at the Lewis hotel. Nov. Z
she had papers served on her husband,
starting an action for divorce, and
this apparently angered him, for as he
entered the hotel he remarked to the
proprietress, Mrs. S. D. Lewis, Il have
come to pay for that divorce" He
then entered the kitchen, where his
wife was, and the tragedy followed.
Bauer arrived in Detroit just before
dinner with his brother Charles, from

intention of paying part of the costs
of a defense in the divorce proceed
ings, but instead he used the money to
purchase the revolver and ammuni-
ton.
Coroner Frasier decided that no in
quest was necessary. The body of
Bauer was turned over to his brother
Charles. Mrs. Bauer's relatives reside
in Virginia and they have been mott
fed of the tragedy.
Bauer fired two bullets into his
wifes body, the first passing near the
heart and the second through her tenn
pie. AS she fell to the floor he fred
bullet directly through his brain and
expired Immediately. Bauer was very
much under the influence of liquor at

that the liquor manufacturers and

 We believe in the establishment of a civil service law for the State that the employees of all State institutions may be appointed on the merit sys- tenn.
 We call attention to the fact that now for many years the Republican party has used the lower courts of State, city, borough and town courts as part of their political machine for the payment of political debts. A more disgracefu1 use of the judiciary party has so used these courts for many years.
 We favor a rational economy in the expenditures of public funds and the abolition of the direct State tax on property.
 We ask that the recommendation of the Hon. Rollin s. Woodruff that a tablished for ali institutions of the State be adopted. We believe that the present methods are unecononica1 and open to the greatest abuses and permeated with petty patronage.
 For years the party has demanded these reforms The restoration of the full right of trial by jury in negligence cases was the result of Democratic agi- tatton: The Republican party has been averse to these changes and grants only what it can no longer with safety refuse. The people of this State should entrust the enactment of these measures to their avowed friends rather than to their secret enemies.
