The Place
Murders a Man To
Save His Mother
Boy Arrested But Nay Be
Exonerated
As tlie result of a quarrel between
Mrs. Mary Bayer and JoeTeahonwith
whom site was living the latter was
1 shot and killed by a son of the former
Wednesday morning about 9 o’clock.
The events leading up to this tragedy
are numerous threats on the part of
Teahon which culminated the first of
the week in threats and actions of a
more tlian usual violence. So great
was Mrs. Bayer's fear of the man
that site telephoned for her son.
Frank Bayer, who was employed at a
neighbors to come over and stay with
them. Which he did Tuesday night
and was still at the residence Wednes
day morning.
M rs. Bayer lias not the best of repu
tation in every respect but that she
was not to blame for the quarrel
which resulted in the death of Joe
Teahon is the opinion of those who
are in a position to know. It seems
that she had lived with the latter
for the past three years and that she
left the home or another with whom
site was living to take up her abode
with Teahon. The three years were
not without their family jars and
Teahon who was of quick temper and
violent nature made many threats of
bodily injury.
Wednesday morning alter renewing
the quarrel of several days Teahon
prepared to go about some work on
the farm. He started and then drove
back to the house, when tie began
cursing Mrs Bayer. The son here
took a hand and demanded that he
stop abusing his mother. Teahon
had pulled her hair and called her
nameless tilings and then started to
get his shot gun. It was at this junc
ture according to his story, that Frank
Ba>er spoke up and told the other to,
leave the gun alone or he would shoot
him. Teahon paid no attention to
the warniug. He had always had his
way when it came to acts of violence
because he had not as yet met a man
who wouldmeethimonhisownground
Young Bayer was not ready to run
away ana cave ins mother to the rate
which tlie other might give her and
drew his gun as he spoke. Teahou
picked up tlie shot gun and started
U> raise it. A shot troth the revolver
d;:i not deter him and took three of
them before man and gun fell to the
door in a heap. The revolver had
done its work in the hands of young
Bayer. Teahon did not move after
falling to the floor He lay as lie fell
with his gun in his hand while Frank
Bayer, the man who tired the shot
started for Anselmo where he gave
himself up to the authorities. He re
leased his gun and in the absence of
sherifl Wilson. Deputy diaries Orr
was telephone and lie went to Ansel*
mo the same evening and brought the
young man to the city.
Bayer is being kept in the city jail
until the coroner's jury completes
I iu» work. Coroner Bennington went to
Ansel mo Thursday and the inquest Is
iwing held as this is being written,
i Attorneys Sullivan and Squires are
! employed for the defense while Judge
|J. It. 1 H-ane is assisting County At_
jtomeyC W. Beal in the prosecution.
The young man under arrest tells
the following story. He says that bis
[ mother telephoned to him the first of
the week to come home that she was
afraid of Teahon. The lad who was
| hut lu years of age arrived home Tues
day evening. It seems that the chief
cause of the quarrel is that Teahon
claims that Mrs. Bayer has builded
her house upon his land. She has a
Kinkaid section that she is attempt.
, ing to prove upon and it was alleged
! by Teal ion that she had not erected
her house on the section which she
I claimed. This Mrs. Bayers denied.
| However. Wednesday she haddecided
i to move and would have done so had
j she been able, to get a team from
Teahon. This the latter refused to
do. He took the team and started to
■ do some work at the barn. Then the
sons of Mrs. Bayer fixed handles to
tlie trunks and it was decided that
jthey would goto a neighbors about
j one quarter of a mile away. After,
wards tiiev decided to go there and
I borrow the team, two sons being sent
to a neighbor for the team. While
i they were gone Teahon who was at the
barn returned to the house and it was
tiie same time he called her all kinds
of an abusive nature, pulled her hair
and threw her about.
The son. Frank was present but
| did nothing until the angered man
readied for his gun when he pulled
the revolver from his pocket and told
him to let the gun alone or he wonld
1 slioot to kill.
Tealion, who had bluffed many an
' other youngster and grown man, de.
{cided to take one more chance but it
was Ids fatal one, Young Bayer shot
' to kill and his assailant crumpled to
U*e floor in a heap after the third
slioi. lie said the other had gotten
bis gun leveled when he shot the
third time, that he had tired at the
i otliers legs the first time but saw
l; Uiat he would either have to slioot in
earnest or be killed himself and so he

PRIMARY
ELECTION
APRIL 19th
The Northwestern has had but little
to say so far as the coining pri
mary election is concerned. Not but
that we are concerned as to the out
come as much so as others in the pri
vate walks of life, but because we
were not so very intimately concerned
as to the outcome bet ween the vari
ous candidates coming before the
people, and for the further reason we
have preferred not to put in our
car to any very great extent previous
to the primary, save to excercise our
right of franchise, allowing the paper
to wait till the people expressed their
preference and then the paper sup
port such preferences.
The Northwestern believes in the
two-term rule, provided the officials
who have held one-term have accept
ably filled the position to which they
were elected. This being true, the
paper prefers the re-election of United
States Senator Norris Brown as a
faithful servant of the people and one
who has proved a brainy and able
member of the upper house of congres
and an untiring worker for the best
good of his state and the country at
large as he understands it. We can
see no reason for retiring him to pri
vate iife and replacing him with an
,other Norris with the prefix of Judge.
The same may be said of Governor
Chester H. Aldrich, who has made a
model governor, not like some who
preceded him. who were obliged to
purchase new tiles often to tit their
bulging uraniums. He has proved a
business governor, with the accent
on both words. There is some other
man running against him for the nom
ination. but at this writing we do not
remember his name, where he comes
from or what peculiar fitness lie may
claim in justice to establish him in
the executive chair, and we’ll bet a
year's subscription to the Northwes
tern at the $1.50 rate that not one in
fifty of our readers can speak his
name and teil where he hails from
as they read this.
For state treasurer, the same ob
tains. Walter A. George, the present
treasurer, lias proven an efficient and
business bee in that office and so far
as we are aljle to learn there is no
call for the candidacy of any republi
can against him. save Die individual
call of the candidate himself, a young
man by the name of Hamer, said to
hail from Lincoln or Omaha, we be
lieve.
Adison Waite, for secretary of state
has no opposition is republican ranks
for that office and of course, will get
the nomination to succeed himself,
and from years acquaintance with Mr.
Waite we know he is a good, honest,
capable and efficient man in that
office, having tieen clerk and then
deputy for years before being elected
as secretary.
As to the other candidates before
the republican primaries, we know
but little of, Mr. Dalzei, state su
perintendent by appointment, and a
candidate for the office, we have
known slightly for a number of years
but of him we know only of the very
best.
for land commissioner, we come
home and find our own townsman,
Wilber S. Waite a candidate, and of
course we are for him, tooth and toe
nails. and willing to vouch that he is
the very best man named among the
several for that office, and we do not
hesitate nor stutter when we say it.
And the Northwestern is ready to
guarantee in any amount necessary
that if he is nominated and elected
(and he should be and will, if our
vote cando it) lie will prove one of
the ablest and most thorough land
commissioners ever in that office.
As to state auditor the Northwes
tern has no comment to make. So
far as we know, they are all good men
and able as candidates before the re
publican primaries, and can we give
support to the winner.
Hon. M. P. Kinkaid has no oppo
sition Iiefore the republican primaries
and of course will be winner at both
primaries and at the fall election.
For representative. Geo. W. Wolfe,
of Litchfield, the republican nominee
lias no opposition before the prima'
ries and to be candid do not believe
the opposition at the fall election will
be able to do more than to a certain
extent keep a small minority vote
away from him. George's election is
assured.
For state senator, both republicans
and opposition candidates are. from
Buffalo county and the Northwestern
is not aquainted with the personality
of either. In county affairs our read
ers are aware of who the candidates
are and are as thoroughly familial
with each of them as the Northwe^
tern is and we will leave them foi
the present without comment furthei
than before expressed*
We are asked to call attention t<
an important business meeting of tin
members and officials of the Baptist
church to be held this (Thursday
evening at the church. All an
earnestly requested to be present.

Obituary
Mary Jane Starsmore was the
• daughter of Mr. and Mrs. .lames R.
j Starsmore. and was born January 1st
; 1844 at Woodford, Woodford county.
■ old England. Her marriage occurred
in 1864. to Mr. Samuel Betts, in the
town of her birth, and later Mr. and
Mrs. Betts moved to this country.
Mrs. Betts has been an invalid at her
home in Litchfield, Nebr., for the
past four years, and on March *24,
1912, passed to her reward at the age
of 68 years. 2 months and 24 days.
She leaves to mourn the loss of a
loving mother, six children; Mrs.
Emily David, Laglade, 111., Mrs.
Anna Warren,of St. Louis. Mo.. Mrs.
C4*yt«** Vdeght/of'WoleoU. X. Y.,
and Albert and Arthur Betts of
Litchfield. Neb. Another child, a
little daughter passed away in infancy.
Mrs. Betts united with the church
of England at an early age. before
coming to this country, and was a
devoted mother, and earnest Chris
tian, and will be sadly missed by the
loved ones and friends who are left
behind.
The funeral service was held at
Loup City, Nebraska, where for many
years Mrs. Betts had made her home
before moving to Litchfield. On
March 28th, at l:30p. m., after ashort
prayer at the home of Mrs. T. M.
Reed, the remains, accompanied by
the friends and members of the I. O.
O. F. and Rebekah Orders of Loup
City, were borne to the Presbyterian
church, where a short service was
conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. C.
Tourtellot. A short address was
given, on the theme, ‘‘Death is
Yours,” with the comforting texts
found in Romans 8:38-39 and 1 Cor.
o. a
The hymns “Nearer My God to
Thee,” “Jesus Lover of My Soul”
and “In the Sweet Bye and Bye”
were given by the regular church
choir.
The Kebekah Lodge gave a brief
service following the regular service,
after which the interment was made
in the Loup City cemetery.
The following lines, written by one
of the sons. Arthur C. Betts, ex
press the tenderness of feeling of
those who mourn for the loved one
who has gone on before:
“Dearest Mother, thou hast left us.
For a better home, we know.
We shall miss thee, ever miss thee,
From this earthly home below.
Thou hast gone, but not forgotten:
We knew you could not longer stay.
In thy Fathers's house are many man
[sions
And you for us will prepare the way.

New York didn’t do a thing to
Roosevelt’s candidacy last week when
the voters trimmed him to a frazzle
giving Taft every district in which
there were contests. It is claimed
that New York and Pennsylvania will
decide between Taft and Roosevelt,
and it looks very much at this writ

“mud,"with a heavy accent on the
meaning.

Schumann Garage

The Northwesters is pleased this

pleted garage of Wm. Schumann, just
west of telephone central headquar
ters. Tiie building is/ready for busi
ness just as soon as the floor is laid,
which will b3 as soon as the frost is
out of the ground and workmen can
lay it. The garage is of brick, with
| twelve-foot ceiling, covered with
beautiful steel sheeting, and is 60x80
feet in dimensions. Mr. Schumann al
[ ready lias three line Mason autos in
| the building and ready at any time
to sell you one.
Just west and adjoining the garage.
Mr. Schumann is having erected a
brick residence 28x30, we believe, and
the walls are already up one story,
while the workmen are rushing it
railroad speed. Judging by what we
can see of it the home is of a beauti
ful pattern and will make a handsome
residence for our genial friend and
family, and the two will form a
splendid addition to our town.
