some others which appeared rather
serious, indicates that the people

preferred by Baker. At the time of
his wedding to the Regain girl Baker
maintained a store at Garske, on the
Farmers line north OF Devils Lake.

been constructed.

granted and they separated. In the
course of time they were reconciIed
and Were again married. But COM

Baker became i'll, her mind being af-
fected. She was placed In the care
OF DR.. Maude WalIians.

claim has been made by the Regans,

examination had been made. For
months they have sought revenge and
