WIVES But EDEY
SPOILED PLANS
Young Wife Tells of the
Agreement Which Re-
suited in Double Tragedy
at Long Island Town.

Bellport. L. J.. Jan. 4.-Witil the self
satisfied mien of one relating an inter-
esting bat not at all extraordinary
story, pretty Mrs. Nellie Murdock sat
before The coroner and a score or more
of her village acquaintance today and
described how she, her husband, Gard
ner Murdock, and Henry c. Edey had
arranged to swap wives" An ar
rangement that was never consum-
mated, but which terminated tragically
last Thursday when Edey shot and
killed his wife and committed suicide.
The inquest was held in the little
village coroner's office and was an oc-
casion for the gathering of country folk
for miles around. They expected some
thing to furnish winter supply of
gossip and they got II.
Mrs. Murdock had no hesitation in
describing her part IN this unique
transaction.
1t was arranged that my husband
and Mrs Edey should go to Texas"
she said, and both get divorces on the
grounds of desertion. Then they were
10 marry and Mr.. Edey was to marry
me. But Mr.. Edey spoiled it all by get
ting his wife to come back for a re-
coneiliation When he upset our plans
so completely my husband thought it
only right that Mr Edey should pay
for breaking up our home that way
So Mr. Murdock brought suit for
100000 two weeks ago for alienation
of my affections"
DO you mean to say you knew about
this suit and was reconciled to it ?"
asked Coroner Moore, with astonish-
ment.

my affections"
How was the money he got to bene-
fit YOU" was asked
"Oh. that was all arranged. The
laWye We're to get ane-third and the
rest to be divided between my hus-
band ana myself"
Mrs Murdoch Indignantly denied that
her relations with Edey were ever more
than friendly. but she had her doubts"
about the status between Murdoch and
Mrs. Edey. She said She knew moth
ing about the shooting.

ALL OPPOSITION TO
HIN DWINDLES AWAY
Resolution Appointing Com
mittee to Aid Speaker in
Making Up Of Committees
Adopted Harmony Pre-
walls Among Members.

c. S. French. of Canyon county, will
be the next speaker of the house.
Not voice was raised against him,
not vote cast for another man. In
the most harmonious caucus of years,
the Canyon county man was chosen to
preside over the next house of repre-
sentatives. When the delegations
from the Republican counties OF the
state met in the city hall yesterday
afternoon, French was the choice The
votes piled up for him and the sigma
lures were affixed to the pledge in
rapid succession.
Harmony prevailed. No fight devel-
oped. No opposition vote was cast.
The caucus voted and the choice was
French.
After the election. the newly chosen
speaker addressed the delegates and
promised absolute fairness as a pre-
siding officer and thanked the repre-
sentatVes for their unanimous selec-
ton of himself for presiding officer of
the lower house.
Committee Is Named.
In the night caucus at the Manitou
hotel a general committee was selected
TO cooperate with the new speaker in
the selection of the l. standing com
mittees of the house. For the first
time In the history of the legislature
it developed that the candidate for pre-
siding officer had made no pledges, had
promised no positions on committees.
1t was found that the usual log roll
ing and dickering for votes and com
mittee positions had been eliminated
and that the speaker would enter upon
the discharge Of his duties free from
obligations of any kind

from the utterances of Rechad Pasha

GAS-LIT HOMES FOR FARMERS
Acetylene Plants Installed in Two
Homes in This COunty-An DAN
ger Removed

Aug. Freitag, east of Redwood
Falls, and David B. Canoe, about six
miles west of the city, two of Red
wood county's prosperous farmers
have this week contracted through Jo-
seph Kruger. general agent for the
Black Swan Co., of Waseca, this state,
for acetylene lighting systems. The
equipments they have purchased con-
sist of complete gas plants, suitable
for cooking as we'll as for lighting
their houses, barns, etc., and also for
the installation of lamp posts in their
yards. Heretofore there has been
considerable objection to acetylene
plants owing to the danger of explo-
sion, but in the systems purchased by
Messrs. F'reitag and Canoe this danger
has been entirely removed by locating
the generator in the ground re-
moved from all buildings and by ar
rangement whereby the lamps and
stoves are Lit by electricity merely by
pushing a button. No matches are
used and with the generator located in
the ground away from the buildings
all danger of fire is eliminated. 26-1t.

OVER FOUR FUN
DRIED BUY LAND

That is the record of one firm in
Canada, who are now offering the
readers of the Gazette the best OPP
portunity of life time-land in a
proven fruit growing district just
north of Spokane, Wash, at less than
one-third asked for irrigated land, and
lands in the South where heavy and
expensive fertilizers are required to
grow anything. Two excursions
monthly. The readers of the Gazette
should read the advertisement of the
international Fruit and Farm Lands
Co., on page and send for their fam
Gus Kootenay Magazine which tells of
the wonderful opportunities in fruit
growing in the west. So many Red
wood Falls people have purchased and
made money out of fruit lands in the
Bitter Root Valley that fruit land
question is not new to most of our
readers. This prize winning district
of British Columbia is not far from the
Bitter Root Valley, but at the same
time is far enough west SO they do not
have to irrigate as in the Bitter Root.
But read the advertisement and write
or call for particulars. The coupon
is good for S25 to apply on a tract
purchased. Also there are several
kinds of contracts that gives the small
investor chance with the monied
men. Payments as low as SO down
and $40 per month without interest
payments extended in case of sick

and brought into bearing, and you car

records show that ranchers are max

SEASON FOR DIPTHERIA
ARRIVES
(By State Board of HEALTHY

Three hundred and thirty-five per-
sons died from diptheria in Mime
sofa during 1911. The season is
again here when the disease is most
prevalent and each person who de-
velops sore throat should become sus-
picious. An immediate conference
should be held with the doctor, a
culture" of the throat be taken and
preparation made for treatment.
Antitoxin can be secured at low cost
at many antitoxin stations through
out the state. 1t is almost positive
cure when taken in time.
What apparently is only sore
throat in adults, often gives rise to
outbreaks of diptheria in children. A
kiss to a child under these circum-
stances may be the unconscious seal
of the little ones death warrant.
When a case of diptheria has de-
veloped, the patient should be isolated
in a sunny, well-ventilated room, all
rugs, carpets, curtains, wardrobes anu
unnecessary furniture removed. The
cat should be driven out and the dog
sent away, as both may communicate
the disease. Keep away from the
source of contagion. Do not go where
the disease is, if you can help it, ane
permit no one to enter your home who
has been where it is. Neither the
nurse or any other attendant shoult

arately in boiling water

Clague Drafts Bill
For Local Option
Continued from first page.
Reapportionment Certain

Reapportionment of some sort seems
absolutely certain to pass and the
committees of the house and senate
are hard at work drafting measure
1t will be several weeks before it will
be introduced. Meanwhile DIR. Stone,
house member from Hubbard county,
has bill permanently fixing the size
of the senate at 40 and making other
radical departures. Of course this bill
of his calls for constitutional amend
ment and hence no matter. what the
action in the legislature cannot be-
come effective at once.
Tonnage Tax Rises Serenely
A tonnage tax bill probably will be
forced through the house and may
pass the senate. There is a general
feeling that Governor Eberhart will
vote it if it gets to him. Which feel
ing may make votes for the measure
in the senate. No one contends there
is any crying demand on the part of
any section of the state for an act of
this kind but certain members are
pledged to it because of previous agi-
tation and they will support it. There
are a good many in the senate who
have never had an opportunity to go
on record on the proposition. What
position they will take is conjectural.
Assessment Now Colossal
The steel properties of st. Louis
county are now assessed at 254 mil
lion dollars and there are a good many
who feel that the revenue obtained
from this assessment is sufficiently
large to head off any popular demand
for tonnage tax. At any rate it re-
mains fact that there is not farm
er in ST. Louis county who favors the
bill which the southern part of the
state has supposed was aimed at the
steel trust and would help the common
people. Either there are no common
people in the north or they are all
bought up by the Steel trust, both of
which propositions are false on the
face of them.
Would Recall Judges
Senator Moonan, of Waseca, has
recall bill but he wants it beaten un-
less the judges are made subject to the
provisions of the measure. He says
that he feels it is important to have
the recall effect the judges. He does
not criticise the bench but he feels
that this is safeguard to which the
people are entitled.
Senator Murray has a bill prohibit
ing the manufacture of oleomargarine
in any form resembling butter. This
would put crimp in some people and
might be of service to the dairy inter-
ests of the state.
Would Head-of Railroads
H. H. Dunn, former speaker, raised
his seven feet of man, in the house
Friday and declared the railroads are
planning on fleeing the state. His
contention is that they have control of
swamp lands that are valuable because
of the ore underneath. He wants the
mineral right reserved on all old
grants that have not been patented
The former speaker seems to have the
goods and his remarks created at least
a mild, we'll hammered sensation.

member, visited the senate and house
briefly last week. 1t kept Joe busy
shaking hands with his old time
friends.
