Trial Of Her Husband For the
Murder of Neste Is Now in
Progress

Park Rapids, Mimi, July 8-Rapid
progress is being made in the trial of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd Carlton, charged
with the murder of Peter Neste, ia
ther of Mrs. Carlton.
The evidence presented by the state
indicates that the murder was COM
mitted in self defense.
A motion was then made by Nc
Donald Of Bemidji for the defense
that the case against Mrs. Carlton
be dismissed. County Attorney Wool
ley Joined in the motion on behalf
of the state and it was granted.
The story told on the witness stand
is similar to that Of many crimes,
and but for the inhuman manner
adopted by the defendant in dispos-
ing Of the body of his victim there
would be no reason to- expect other
than an acQuittal.
It appears that the alleged crime
was committed in a quarrel. Mrs.
Carlton went to q chicken coop to
gather eggs and feed the chickens.

STOCKS INACTIVE
Very Little Stirring as Result of
Pending Reports.

New York, July S.-With the ex-
ception Of few stocks, most Of them
inactive issues, the market barely
stirred through the session. The
three favorite mediums Of speculation
Union Pacific, Reading and United
States Steel-all moved within range
Of less than a point. After some ir-
regularity in the early trading the
market became dull and remained in
a comatose condition to the end.
The reluctance Of traders to con-
duct aggressive operations on either
side Of the market was due in no
small measure to the imminence of
events which may have a decided in
fluence upon speculation. The gov
ernment crop report. the monthly
statement Of untitled, tonnage Of the
United States Steel corporation and
the monthly figures of the copper
producers association all will be

Outlook Is Good

New York, July S-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Excessively hot weather, half year

tories, vacations and holidays have
combined to make tn elast week q
quiet period In general trade and in

parently moderating has been helpful

crops have tended to restrict or re-

crop uncertainty, but advices as to
the severity Of this movement differ

Industry generally is quiet over the

Peter Regan Now Defendant

tory of the United States land office,
which dates back to 1889, from which
time complications grow, has been
started in the local office, in which
Tom Keogh, Jr., is the contestant and
Peter Regan is the defendant. The
history Of the case makes a story un-

Keogh established that he lived or

titled was considered sufficient proof
to cancel the entry, leaving it open

MARRIED TWICE
AND BOTH ALIVE
Not Divorced From First, He
Weds Second According to
Complaint Made

jamestown, N. D., July S.-To be
married to man whom you know
mas another wife and yet to be un-
able to prove the fact is the unusual
predicament of Hannah Larson, who
through her attorney has instituted
an action in the district court to have
her marriage annuled
Hannah Larson was married i'm this
county few weeks ago, and after liv-
ing with her husband for some time
learned that he had never secured a
divorce from his first wife and that
she was still living. Immediately
thereafter Larson disappeared, and
1t has been impossible to find him
and bring him to court.
The only testimony that the wife
can adduce with reference to the big
amy of her husband is hearsay-and
when she came into court a few days
since the attorney stated. on behalf
Of his client, that it was not expected
that decree annuling the marriage
could be made by the judge upon the
showing Of plaintiff, but that it was
desirable to take her deposition so
that she could leave for Canada to
continue her search for evidence
against her husband.
The testimony of the plaintiff was
therefore taken. and now the country
Is being secured to obtain the addi-
tional evidence necessary to complete
the proof Of bigamy.
The records of the courts in sew
eral Of the counties of this state have
been searched in an endeavor to To-
cate the decree Of divorce which de-
fendant alleged he obtained from his
first wife, and no trace Of such ac-
tion has been found.
Her attorney expects to take the
deposition Of the first wife Of the de.
fendant, whom it is believed resides
in small Canadian village, and 9th.
er dispositions will also be taken to
assist the plaintiff to relieve herself
of martial bond which is abhorren,
to her.
