SHOTS THOUGHT CRACKERS Killings Arc Sequel or Visit Home for Fourth and Quarrel Follows Soon After Both Rise to Go to Work for Day. PEXDLETON, Or.. July 5. (Special.) John M. Bowman Bhot and killed his" wife. Mary A. Bowman, in their apart ments thia morning: and then turned the weapon on himself. He died in stantly. Mrs. Bowman lived probably 15 minutes. Jealousy because of her friendship for another man was believed to be the cause. The two had quarreled before and It Is said that he threatened to kill her some time ago. She was making- arrangements for a divorce. There are no children. Both had been married before jind Mr. Bowman has a daughter by his first marriage. Her home Is in South Dakota. Mrs. Bowman was formerly Mrs. Imbler. living near Spokane. They had been living In Pendleton for the past two years and came here from Klamath Falls. They were married in Portland. Mr. Bowman was a carpenter and owned, with his wife, a Joint interest la the Monterastelli lodging-house here. She also owned. In her own right, the lease and furnishings of the apartment-house where they lived and had just taken a lease and contracted to buy the furniture In another. She also had some property In or near Spokane. Mr. Bowman had been working In the country and came In yesterday to celebrate the Fourth. They passed the evening: quietly at home In company with a woman friend of Mrs. Bow man's. The trouble came to a head this morning about S o'clock as Mr. Bowman was presumably getting ready to go out to work again. He was partly dressed. Though there was a souffle at that time, in the course of which the furniture was overturned, a lamp broken and a curtain torn off the window, none of the neighbors was awakened until the shots were fired. Even then some believed them to be firecrackers. H. H. Lowe, sleep ing next door, was aroused, however, when he heard the woman's cries for help and called the officers. They found the man and woman lying almost side by side in their kitchen. She had been shot in the back as she tried to escape through the kitchen door. As she fell he shot her again In the temple. His wound also was In the temple. The pistol was a 32-callber automatic, which he trot In the -country. An Inquest was held today. The bodies will be held to await word from relatives.
