UNDER SUSPICION
Mrs. Carman Questioned About
Shooting of Mrs. Bailey.

Freeport, l.. l., July 6.-There is
now no doubt that Mrs. Carman is
suspected as the person who fired the
shot through a window of DR.. Car
mans office and killed Mrs. Louise
Bailey. The questions of District At
torney Smith at the inquest made
that clear. Mrs. Carman says she
realizes she is suspected.
At the inquest witness George
Colder, a patient, swore he saw Mrs.
Carman in the office of her husband
shortly before the shooting.
He was contradicted by Mrs. Car,
man and her sister, Mrs. Ida Powell.
Mrs. Carman said she went direct TO
her room after dinner.
The full story of the installation
Of a photograph by Mrs. Carman, be
cause of her jealousy of her husband
was told. Both Carman and his wife
admitted that Mrs. Carman raped al
a window of the office one night wheT
the physician was in his Office witt
n nurse, then forced admittance to the
room. slapped The nurse and demand
ed that she hand back money which
DIR. Carman had just given her. The
physician declared this money wa
given the nurse as a loan.

DAKOTA MOOSERS
Candidates May Decide TO Nam.
Committee TO Handle Their
Interests.

Mitchell, July AT the progress.
sive party meeting here of candidates
and members of the executive com.
mittee, a proposal is under consider
alton TO allow the candidates to Sc.
lect a campaign committee, indepen.
dent of the state organization chosen
at the Huron meeting. If such action
is taken the campaign committee
probably will have general charge oil
all activities preliminary to the fall
election.
Those in attendance at the meeting
state that they have no misgivings
about getting a satisfactory lineup of
candidates for a full state ticket and
that their chief anxiety is on the
question of getting a group filing of
the candidates under the party mot
to. If this cannot be accomplished
this fall it is thought that a suff-
cient vote can be secured on the gu
bernatorial candidate to assure party
standing in the next campaign.
O. X. Davis of Washington, d. c.,
secretary of the progressive party ma
tional committee, was present at the
meeting. He stated that the nation
al organization expects to make a
fight for a full ticket this fall in
South Dakota as well as in every
other state.
