Tense version Of the killing it was in

According to Mrs. Willis, Dr.. Bald
win came to her apartment here last
Friday morning intoxicated and made
improper advances in the repelling of
which she finally found it necessary
to put a bullet through his head. To
avoid notoriety, she then packed the

handy, she said, kept it in the apart
ment overnight, and late the next day
carried it out into the country in the
dead doctors car with the aid Of Bert
G. Webster, her roomer and close
friend.
According to the expressman, how
ever, Mrs. Willis telephoned an order
for the delivery of the trunk about
ten o'clock Friday morning, an hour
when Dr.. Baldwin is known to have
been still alive and about to leave q
hospital where he had assisted at ar
operation.
When he arrived at the apartment
with the trunk, police quoted Huston
the expressman, as saying it was 1:3C

with Mrs. Willis she happened to oper
a closet door, his alleged statement
continues and what looked like mans
foot protruded, whereupon the woman
hastily showed the object back into the
darkness and closed the door on it
Later, Houston said, he decided il
must have been an old shoe that he

fic difficulties, the deaths from au-
tomobile accidents are nevertheless
largely preventable, the State Depart

LARGE CROWD SEES
GROWING MAY QUEEN

Last night saw the conclusion Of
one of the most successful campaigns
ever inaugurated in Seward by any
organization when the Auxiliary Of
the Seward Legion brought to a fin
ish their building fund issue. AS a
result of the hotly contested election
for May Queen the organization
cleared a good many hundred dol
lars and Miss Cecil Leslie won the
coveted place.
At nine o'clock last night at Odd
Fellows hall the browning of the
Queen took place To the strains OF
a march played by the four piece
orchestra, the queen preceded by two
little pages and two little flower
girls, and accompanied by her maids
of honor, entered the hall and pro
ceeded slowly to her throne. Miss
Leslie was very charming in an
ivory colored slip, with an overdress
of yellow chiffon, which hung in long
petal-shaped points. The maids OF
honor, Thelma Tallasen and Melba
Johnsrud were becomingly attired il
white and blue respectively; the lit
tie flower girls were Patsy Harmon
and Mickey Mcintosh, and the pages
Lee Ray and Vincent Lorang.
Mayor Ray first presented the
maids of honor with their prizes
two lovely strands of beads, after
which the queen received the grand
prize of the election, long string q
old ivory beads, and beautiful ful
neckpiece Miss Leslie was Their
presented with her crown and pro
claimed queen for the evening. Three
rousing cheers were given for the
participants.
Dancing began at nine thirty, tht
hall being overtaxed for capacity
The few ladies of the organization
who worked so hard decorating fol
the occasion were most assuredly de
serving of praise for the hall wa:
beautiful. Long streamers Of crepe
paper and festoons of morning glo
ries in the pastel shades made it ;
flower garden. The Apiece orchestr;
provided the music and every on
passed one of the most enjoyable
evening ever held in Seward. Tn
building fund is an assured thing an,
the ladies certainly worked for thei
success.
