GEORGE BAKER, Wife MURDERER,
TAKEN FROM JAIL AND LYNCHED
since being placed in Jail.

since being placed in Jail.
John Neil, the only other prisoner
In the jail, says Baker claimed that
he was innocent and that he had shot
his wife and father-in-law accidentally
while fooling with the gun. An IF
fort was going to be made to show
that Baker was insane, and the mob
fearing that he'd get off with light
sentence, planned the deed.
Mob DIsappears.
The mob disappeared from the city
Immediately after Baker was lynched.
Baker, some years ago, belonged to
the United States army and had been
suspected Of being a deserter. He
went to the village of Dawson about
six years ago and, while he never
seemed to have any regular vocation
in life. he won the heart of Myrtle
Glass, whose father was pioneer cit
izen of Kidder county and highly re-
garded by large acsuaintance over
the county. Two children were born
to Baker and his wife, both Of whom
are with their mothers relatives at
jamestown.
Baker and his wife never lived well
together as Raker was a worthless
character to a pronounced degree, and
was possessed OF vicious temper.
Baker left his wife at Dawson and
went west to California where he Sc
cured a position as motorman for
street car company in San Francisco
Last summer Mrs. Baker decided to
join her husband in the west in an
other attempt to live with him, but
after reaching San Francisco he failed
to provide for her and she returned 20
her father last month at Dawson.
Her father had rented the home at
Dawson and had planned on going 20
the Soldiers home to spend the rest
of his life, but when he heard his
daughter Myrtle was returning to him
lie arranged to keep a few rooms in
| the house for his daughter and her
children.
! About two weeks after her arrival
at Dawson Baker followed his wife
back to Dawson, evidently beating his
way from the west. He arrived at
Dawson on an early morning train
and after procuring his breakfast at
restaurant he went to his wife's home
where he was met at the door by his
wife, who turned to her. father and
Said "My God, here's George"
Her father, an aged man, stepped
in between them and said. "Never
mind Myrtle. he can't harm you. :"
Whereupon Baker fired at his father
in-law, the bullet striking him in the
mouth and causing instant death.
Bakers wife, Mortified at the trag-
edy, attempted to make her escape in
her night clothes thru one of the win
dows, but was shot by her fiendish
husband. he firing seven bullets into
her body.
He then sat down and rolled a Gig
arette after which he wrapped his
little 3-year-old boy in blanket anu
started over town, when he was ar
rested by Constable Bon, who imme
diately took him to Steele, the county
seat, where he was placed in tn.
county jail, around which was placed
heavy guard to prevent a Qynching'
Had Baker not been removed at an
early hour from Dawson the chances
are he would have been lynched there,
as feeling ran high towards Baker al
ter it was learned he had committed
the double murder.

Eyes of Men Change Color

From the Chicago News
 One of the striking features of the fa- nous Kimmel identity case which has been stirred up recently by an operation performed on the brain of the present claimant by Chicago physician has been the different color of the claimants eyes and those of the man who disappeared in 1S9S The eyes of the missing man were a dark brown, according to the testimony of all who knew him through his boyhood and up to the time he was 30. The eyes of the claimant are a pale watery blue and yet the doctors agreed that this is not remarkable-that such a change is easily possible and that there have been many instances of the same phenomenon in the past
 ''One of the most unusual cases of that in my experience" said well-known physician, commenting on the subject ''was that of my own father When he was a young man one of his eyes was a dark brown; the other was light blue. Many people seing him for the first time imagined that he was blind in one eye. He had many peculiar experiences as result of this. I remember We'll, as he grew older his brown eye faded away until 1t was almost gray The blue eye darkened until they were both almost the same color. In fact, one who had
 
 have suspected that they were of differ ent shade. The fact is that there is less pigment in blue or gray eye than in brown or dark eye. By losing its pig ment dark eye can eventually become gray.
 T have heard of case where a sud den shock caused a scarcity of pigment and in short time the eye which was brown had changed to a pale gray. This IS the same thing that occurs when per sons hair turns gray. It is said in ghost stories and the like that ones hair can turn gray in a single night. This is not absolutely true. A shock of that sort may stop the development of pigment upon which the color of the hair depends, and the color of the hair win gradually fade. The new hair that grows out will then be gray instead of brown, or red. or Whatever was the original color This is the same thing that takes place in the eye,
