SIOUX CITY LETTER
ASSIGNED AS CAUSE
HILL CITY TRAGEDY
Baker Viewed Summons as
Ruse to Take Wife Away
Killed Self and Motherinlaw.

ne Ts'l hi5sS; Il III June Of S. the d eofGe
tragedy in which Cliff Baker, aged 80,
of Hill City, shot and killed his MOTH
erinlaw, Mrs. Alexander Carpenter,
and then took his own life has brought
out many details of the murder and
suicide which have not yet been pub
lished.
An alleged letter from relatives of
Mrs. Carpenter in Sioux City, stating
they We're sick and asking her to come
to them, was the direct cause of the
tragedy.
Baker married a daughter of Mrs.
C~arpente about u year ago. During
that period, it is stated, Mrs. Carpen-
ter made several attempts to induce
her daughter to leave Baker. About
30 minutes before the murder and sui
eide Mrs. Carpenter went to the Ba-
ker home and stated that she had been
summoned to Sioux City because OF
sick relatives, and asked her daughter
to go to Sioux City with her.
Baker objected ~strenuously, declar-
ing the story of the letter was only a
ruse to get his wife away from him
n that ii she made the Sioux City
trip he was confident she would leave
him for good. Mrs. Carpenter insisted
that she had received such a letter, and
she and Baker had a bitter quarrel,
which terminated iD Baker going into
an adjoining room and taking a rifle
from its case. He leveled the Weapon
at Mrs. Carpenter, who, was sitting in
a rocking chair and fired before his
wife could brush the weapon aside.
The bullet entered Mrs. Carpenters
left side, after passing through her left
arm, and then passed entirely through
her body and dropped beside a stove.
Mrs. Carpenter was killed instantly.
Mrs. Baker was kneeling, crying, be-
! ID the body of her mother when
Baker entered the room, still carrying
the rifle.
DO you want to kiss me goodbye"
asked Baker Of his wife.
Not after what you have done" was
her reply.
Baker then walked out on the porch
n p'-ced the gun to his head, tearing
away the chin. This mo- proving fatal,
he threw the empty she'll out of the
gun, reloaded the weapon. placed the
muzzle against the side of his head
and fired again. This killed him. the
entire top of his head being blown off.
Mrs. Baker, who was looking through
the window, saw her husband shoot
himself

claim for damages is an unusual pro-
cedure, but one that has beer put into

try in the city against the Boston &

Gently and was attached while stand
ing on a sidetrack of the Milwaukee
road.
The claim arose as a result of a ship
men of poultry by w. Bauer, of the
Mitchell Produce company, when ne
was in business in Missouri. The claim
is for about $500 and was made against
the Boston & Maine because that o
delivered the goods to a Boston COM
mission concern. A claim was filed at
the time, but has Deer dragging along
for years without settlement.
The case calls to mind the time when
Emil j. Woerth, then lawyer at Kim
ball, chained a Milwaukee engine to
the tracks to secure the settlement Of
a judgment against the company. A
similar affair was performed by A. p.
Kittridge, of Sioux Falls, for a similar
cause.

valuable BOOSTERS are owned, these are
not killed, but simply taken from the
flocks and kept in separate pens dur
ing the summer months. All other
male birds should be killed or sold for
slaughter next week, as they will never
bring more than now and consequently,
their maintenance longer is not only a
dead loss but they cause an enormous
depreciation in egg values when al
lowed to run with the hens during the
summer season.
The Rooster Day" campaign in this
state during the past two seasons have
resulted in the elimination of thousands
of male birds and consequent great inn
%provement in the quality of eggs
have been paying better prices for male
birds on the day as an extra induce
ment to farmers to dispose of the roost-
ers. The unusual high prices of poul-
try this season should bring ia a great
number of old birds.

End Of the Copper Strike

The ending Of the Clifton strike is matter Of
general ublatOn throughout the southwest, and here's
the confident hope that Clifton, MOrenci, and Metcaf
will henceforth be just prosperous and contened
as any section of the southwest. The district has
furnished example to the rest O. the country in
the orderliness with which the strike conducted
during most of its duration.
At the start there some disorder, of serious
nature. Men abused and personally injured by
strikers and their sympathizers without Just cause
There was bitter feeling against managers and
higher employees the part of workmen This feeling
manifested itself IN few awless outbreaks; which,
however not much damage done to property
After the managers and clerks and the who
had refused to join in the strike to become
neeted with the Western Federation of Miners, had
et the district and after state troops had been sent
IN to assist the shers officers the situation quieted
down, and there further demonstrations of
lawless nature
This disposition toward peace and order the
part OF the thousands of striking workmen, in which
attitude they encouraged by their leaders and
oflcers, contributed very much toward satisfactory
settlement Of the dispute. If there had been such
disorders as have characterized many of the mine
strikes OF the last 25 years all the country there
could have been compromise with lawleSSness, and
would have been fight to finish, with perhaps
boodshed and destruction of property But the strikers
IN the Chiffon Morenc district early determned-mOst
wisely-to rest their the justice of their
claims, and appeal to public opinion for support which,
IN general, they commanded.
As to the question of the Western Federation there
IS no need for side gloat victory" for
the other side to feel sting as of defeat" The
question has been satisfactorily adjusted by agree
ment Of minds, and that is the supremely important
thing.
