Northwestern Land Show.

The Northwestern Land Products
show, under the auspices of the North
western Development league, will take
place from December 18th to 23rd, and
will be held in the st. Paul Audi
torium, one of the finest buildings of
its kind in the country.
The dates were decided upon after
advice had been received from the vari-
Gus western states interested and the
dates of state fairs and other exposi-
lions had been considered. The dates
selected will give those who wish to ex-
hibit in Chicago, an opportunity to
bring their exhibits to st. Paul for the
Northwestern Land Products show, as
the Chicago Land exposition closes De-
cember 9th.
The entire enterprise has but one
object in view, according to officials
of the league, and that object is to aid
IN the development of Oregon, Wash
lngton, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota and Alaska.
The Northwestern Land Products ex-
| hibit will be something more than a
mere land show, and will include not
only products, but resources of, the
country.
| The Northwestern Development
league is defined by its officers as an
educational movement seeking to
make people acquainted with the facts
about the fertile northwest.
1t is planned to make the exhibit an
annual affair to be held in subsequent
years in various cities of the northwest
which will serve to stimulate activity
since the exhibit, being common prop
erty of the states mentioned, will be
enthusiastically pushed by all.
Mr.. w. A. Campbell, secretary of the
Northwestern Development league ant
formerly manager of publicity for the
Omaha Chamber of Commerce, has beer
appointed general manager of the show
and is now actively at work to secure
exhibits and entertainment features.
AS the Northwestern Development
league is composed of commercial club
of all the states interested, the leagu
officers will communicate with thes
bodies, advising them in reference t.
exhibit material, space available, etc

Little Girl Who Heard The Shot Tells
Her Story To A Representative
OF The Banner

A Banner reporter talked to little
Cecil Daley, aged 9 years, who is a
daughter of Mrs. Daley, and a step
daughter of Daley. The little girl
said that she heard no argument OF
any kind between her father and moth
er during the day. She stated, how
ever, that her father was shooting
about the premises during the after
noon and this seemed to annoy her
mother very much. She said that her
mother went to the door several times
and asked her father to quit shooting
as it made her very nervous. Daley
paid no attention to the request of his
wife.
Little Cecil said that about O'Clock
her mother told her to go to the gro =
cry store to purchase some things.
Just as she was starting she heard
her father ask her mother for the dol
lar which she had given her. The wo-
man refused to comply with her re-
quest. Thereupon Daley asked his
wife for a nickel which he knew she
had. She refused to give him this.
The little girl stated that in the midst
of the argument about the money she
went to the grocery store in company
with Bessie Hunter, half sister cf
Daley.
Little Cecil stated that as they re
turned from the grocery and were en-
tering the front door of the house,
they heard a shot. The girl glaucel
into the kitchen just in time to see her
father grab her mother and then both
fell to the floor She heard her mother
exclaim, "Oh my" three times and
then she fed from the house scream
ing.
The girl stated that after the shoot
ing she saw her father place the re-
volver ON the kitchen table, but this
does not bear out the story of Mr..
Young and Mr.. Corcoran, who state
that the revolver was lying on the
floor under the cupboard.
According to the statement of the
little girl, her brother, Arthur Dali ~
years old, was playing at the home
of neighbor at the time of the shoot.
ing and so fortunately did not wit.
ness the terrible affair.
The child said she saw the blood
in the kitchen and knew that some
thing terrible had happened. She ran
from the house to the front yard and
screamed for help and neighbors ware
soon on the scene.

of the affair:

was confronted with one of the most
sickening sights of his professional
career. On entering the room his first
impression was that it had been q

STORY OF THE SHOOTING
Little Girl Nine Years Old Heard The
Shot and Saw Her Mother Fall
To The Floor

Daley did not work Saturday ON
account of the fact that the Bridge
Works was closed down to allow the
employees to attend the picnic at Ced-
ar Point. He spent the morning about
the house and at o'clock the ex-
pressman arrived with case of beer.
Daley had this put in the cellar and
shortly afterwards commenced to
drink
Mrs. Lottie Hunter of Gambler,
Dailey's mother, was at the home
about the noon hour and remained
for dinner. She states that there was
no trouble between Daley and his wife
while she was at the house. In the
afternon Mrs. Hunter went down town
and was there when the shooting
occurred.
1t appears that Daley spent some
time in the afternoon shooting at a
mark in the back yard, but as far as
can be learned had no trouble with
his wife and that no argument of any
kind ensued between them.
According to little Cecil Daley, aged
0 years, daughter OF Mrs. Dqilev
and a step-daughter of DALEY, the
mother sent her to the grocerv store
about 8 o'clock. she snyr thnt her
