Iiaunigardnrr is said to have fircd

Kim on himself while standing before
a mirror. . ,
One bullet entered Mrj. Bumgard

ami. The husband tired the third
thot through his left temple.
Separation BelieVed Cause.
Separation of Mrs. BunigimtneV
from her husband is believed io have
resulted in the shooting. . .
J. H. Mitchell, proprietor of the
rooming house, told police that when
he broke open the door after hear
ing the first shots, he saw Bmrf
Kardner leaning over -his wife's pros
trate form as if kissing her. r ,
Tearing the man would do mor
shooting, Mitchell and his wife ran
from the house. It was while Mitch
ell was calling police that Bumgard
ncr turned. the gun on 'himse'f.s.
Blood Pours from Wounds.
Whcri" Mitchell returned to the
room, both victims were lying on
the floor beside one. another, blood
flowing- frojn' their wptJds,
Shortly before the shooting, "Mm.
Rumgardner went, into, the 'room of
Frances Bowman, a' night telephone
operator, talked a few minutes with
Jjer. then left. "
Five minutes later the shooting
occurred. , s
It is believed the woman's husband
entered her room while she was out.
The husband had been ,ooming
Alone at 626 South Twentieth street,
one block away.
A jtruggle took place between the
two, according to the condition of
the room.
An instant before the shooting,
Mr. Mitchell heard the -' cry: -
'Wait a minute, Bill."
Then came the shots.
Mitchell said the couple ha"cl been
separated for the last three weeks.
Miss Bowman told police Mrs.
Humgardner had mentioned her hus
.1 and had threatened her several
times
"Don't Do That."
Mrs. Clyde Manner, landlady of
the rooming house where Mr. Bum
Kardncr lived, told police she was
attracted to BunTgardncr's room at
8() yesterday morning by a wom
an's voice crying, "Don't do that.
Don't do that, please."
The landlady said she knocked r.i
the door and demanded to know
what the matter was. She said she
received ao reply and went away.
It is believed Mrs. BumgarJner
was with her husband all night.
A letter from the girl's father, C.
T Leithoff of Crawford, Neb.,
ound m tne room, reads:

William A. Bumgardne.
, i: ; : i , vj.,, 1
"Sorry to hear that you and Bill
must part. Keep away front fast
women, daughter, and I am sure you
will get along alone. Live the life
of a clean girl and the sunshine will
always be over you,
"Bill told me that you storied to
him in Fort Dodge. My advice is to
J5t out of Omaha and live life anew.
A large city is too wild for a girl
like you. Save your money and.
don't mind his threats. If you really
don't love Bill, the best thing to do
is to leave Omaha and keep your ad
dress away from him."
Exceptional War Record.
Mr. and Mrs. Rumgardner had
leen married but 10 months.
His record in the marine corps
shows he was an aviator during the
world war, attached to the Fourth
Air Park squadron. He had been in
service a year and a half. A vic

the Mcuse-Argonnc engagements.
His former home was in Friend,

Anemic People Need
Blood-Iron Phosphate
Anemic-tleoplo are usually - thin, pale,
weak, discouraged, nervous wrecks ; show
ing that lack of iron in the blood is all
too frequently accompanied by a run-down
nervous system due to lack of phosphor
ous. Strength, health, vim, vigor and
energy depend almost entirely on making
up this deficiency in iron and phosphorous.
Unquestionably one of the best things
for this purpose is the great French dis
covery known Among our druggists as
Blood-Iron Phosphate. Folks who have
tried it say that one five-grain tablet with
each meal quicklr restores-depleted nerv
ous energy, enriches the blood, increases
strength, vitality an endurance, and those
who are thin usually put on pounds of
solid stay-there flesh in a short time.
Inasmuch as Sherman & McConnell Co.
and all other druggists are authorized to
sell BloodVIron Phosphate under a guar
antee of satisfaction or money back, ev
ery 4hin, weak, nervous or- anemic man
or woman should give it a trial without
delay.
Important Blood-Iron Phosphate is sold
only in original packages, containing
enough for three weeks' treatment, at
$1.50 per package only BO cents a week.

THE AVERAGE TIME FOR EACH

Isn't it a remarkable and cqnvincing proof of Essex
ability and endurance that every one of the four Essex
cars that challenged " the ; coveted transcontinental rec

Those records had . stood for; four years. Hun
dreds of cars tried in vain to lower them.
- We want you to examine this Essex. It is now
on our floor, just as it finished. See how it stood the
terrific abuse of 3,347 miles of all sorts of going at high
speed. See that it compares in every respect with every
other Essex touring car built.
The same ability that broke trie transcontinental
records enabled Essex to set the official 50-hour endur
