                   MURDER AT CARVER, MINN.
                   
                   ANDREW TAPPER, a Bartender
                    Cuts the Throat of a Girl
                    
                   Carver, Minn., June 4 - A cold blooded murder
                 occurred here at 6:15 a.m.  ANDREW TAPPER, a
                 bartender committed the deed and Miss ROSA MIX,
                 a hired girl, was his victim. Both were employed
                 by JOHN LEONARD, proprietor of the Lainer House,
                 this village. The girl was 20 years old and her
                 parents live at Montgomery.
                   TAPPER used a large knife, and cut two large
                 gashes in the girl's throat and one in her left
                 shoulder. He then went to the river and tried
                 to drown himself, but failed.
                   He returned to the house, saw the girl lying
                 on the floor in a pool of blood, and then started
                 off down the park road with the marshal after
                 him. He is now safely behind the bars in the
                 county jail at Chaska.
                   Jealousy is supposed to have been the motive
                 of the crime. TAPPER was a suitor of Miss MIX,
                 but had been repeatedly repulsed by her.
