FOLLOWING
confession
Ryder Woman Took Life After
Confessing Shameful Conduct
Was Wife Of Prominent Ply
siciaa Mother Of Two
George F. Hart, State Game
Warden Is Man in Case

Ryder N. D.. June 26.-Confessing
that for a period of three years she
has been having Illicit relations with
George f. Hart, Ryder druggist and
state game warden for the northern
district Of North Dakota, Mrs. J. HI.
Griffin, wife of prominent physician
and surgeon of Ryder, ended her un-
happy life by piercing her temple with
a bullet.
The confession and suicide of Mrs.
Griffin is the most narrowing sersa-
ton that has been known not only in
Ryder but throughout the whole west
ern part of the state Hart has been
arrested on the charge of adultery on
complaint of DR., Griffin, who went
about the streets in a crazed condition
Yesterday with revolver in hand lying
in wait for the druggist. The state
warden has been placed under bonds
fixed at $4,000.
Confessed to Parents.
Mrs. Griffin made a sweeping con-
fession to her parents, Mrs. Hart and
her husband, DR.. Griffin, after the lat
ter two had worked all night in the
attempt to secure a statement from
her lips.
With DR.. Griffin she has lived in
Ryder about ten years, having been a
resident of the place before her mar
rage. She is the mother of two chill
dren.
The physician had left the house
with his children and was on his way
to the station to send them to the
brother and sister of his wife in Mon
tana, when the suicide occurred.
Two Letters Found.
Rising after her husband had left
the house with her children, Mrs. Grif-
nm went into the kitchen and shot her
SELF in the temple, after writing two
letters which she left on the dining
room table
One letter was addressed to her
husband asking his forgiveness and
requesting that a certain local under
taker have nothing to do with the
preparation of her body for burial. i
The other letter was addressed to
Jim and Nell, the brother and sister
in Montana, iInploring them to take
good care Of her children. 1t
Feeiina Against Hart.
Bitter feeling runs high against
Hart in Ryder today. However, no
one would permit DR.. Griffin to harm
him when the irate physician went
after him revolver in hand.
Hart previously lived at Granville.
N. d. He located at Ryder some time
ago and embarked in the drug busi-
ness. Recently he was appointed state
game warden for the northern district
to succeed E. H. Stenvick of Minot by
the state game and fish board.

to eat in case of storm or a sheltered
spot in case of intense heat.
1t was the first idea of the com :

there serve meals picnic fashion
Later it was thought the reservation
OF the booths would be preferable iii
case it might rain or be exceptionally

Summer Salads +Appetlzlng or the Re-
verse, According to How This
Detail Is Attended To.

Salads arranged in a border OF hard
boiled eggs: picked beets. cold boiled
carrots and slices Of potato cut IN
fancy forms-hearts and circles and
rings and triangles-arA too ornate to
be In good taste. But the ungarnished
dish is almost as unappetizing.
Summer garnishes should always be
fresh, crisp and dainty. Watercress.
fresh parsley, lettuce heart leaves. ca
pers and small radishes. crisp and
cold. all form appropriate and appetite
ing garnishes for meat, fish and yege-
table dishes. & xii s554 r
Another way Of garnishing Is by
combining two dishes. For instance.
II hashed brown potatoes are to be
served with hash OF lamb and pep
pers, place the meat hash in the cen.
ter Of the dish and arrange the pota-
toes neatly about It.. Dreamed fish
can be piled in the center Of the plat
ter. creamy mashed potatoes can be
arranged about 1t. and the whole can
be Drowned in the oven-with few
buttered bread crumbs sprinkled over
the dish-;sor 10 to Is minutes. Bacon
can be used as garnish to liver or
poached or fried eggs, 1t should be
broiled. crisp and dry, and should be
neatly put on the serving dish; moth
ing is more unsightly than greasy,
limp. half-cooked bacon piled hit or

MATERIALS FOR THE TOURIST
Crepe dc Chine Deservedly Popular
China SILK and UnIIned Net and
Lace Waists Useful.

Crepe de chimes are popular and
practical, as they clean easily. The
familiar double frill Is still used, as
are also narrow frills which outline
the front pleats, or follow the side
fastening. Narrow pleatfngs to match
the frills are used as finish for fat
collars and turnback cuffs.
They nave the button through col
lar aud cuffs, with long shoulder lines.
Crepe de chine is sometimes used in
combination with net, lace or printed
silk.
China silk waists also have the frill
finish, but the designs are little
more on the tailored style. Striped
wash silks are popular with travellers.
Some of these silks have a white

stripes in purple, gray, blue, rose. vel

oddities in work bags will be pleased
with one carried recently by woman
who had just come from Paris.
The bag, of generous proportions,

Two oval embroidery hoops were
used for handles and covered with the
GALLON. To the lower end of each,
was sewed the upper edge Of the bag,
which was gathered to an oval paste-
