B. Sayler. rice president of the First National Bank, of Crescent City, 111.,’ to suffer in silence the do mestic tragedy that led to his death Sunday night at the hands of l>r. W. R. Miller, who for many months had paid ardent attention to the banker s wife,.mother of Golda Say ler.- ‘ _ According-fc> Wi R. Nightengale, cashier of the Wank of which Mr. Sayler was vice president, the devot- «d father determined to suffer in silence rather than take any action which would involve his child in potoriety. • He seemed to fear some tragic solution of the sKuation," said Mr. Nightengale. “When he left the tit) during the last year’or so it was his habit to seek privacy, after which he would reappear with a bulky en velope containing papers " 'Should anything happen to me, *he always told me, 'open this package and follow to the letter the Instruc tions contained therein ’ “After each trip but the last he destroyed the papers upon his return He was away a little while ago, hut when he came hack he failed to fol low this practice. “That packet, I believe, is locked in his private box in the bank s i vault. Whether it will shed any thing on the tra/edy which ended his life I cannot say. The coroner has the key and will open the box later, possibly after the funeral. That Dr Miller stood in real dan ger of lynching Monday night is as serted by Mr. Nightengale and many others. More than a hundred men thronged the streets of the usually •quiet village trying to organize an attack on the jail. One man with a rope was forcibly taken to his home by cooler persons, whose counsel finally prevailed. Among the lattei was Willis Sayler. a brother of tin - slain man Dr. Miller's defence is that he shot only when attacked by the banket with a hatchet. Evidence casting » shadow on this statement was giver, at the inquest Sayler wias slain about 10 o'clock Sunday iMght. Mrs. Miller, wife o. the doctor, had left a few days pie xOously to visit her parents at Shar on, Pa., and Dr Miller was taking his meals at the Sayler table am' "sleeping at his own home. Thert were also at the Sayler home at tb< time of the shooting, John C. Grus den, father a/f Mrs. -Sayler- and Ira Grunden, her brother.

St^tday .eyeiviug John ‘Grundei we at to ask Mr. Sayler, who was oc copying a rocking chair on the lawn to come in and play cards, they twi against Dr Miller and Mrs--Sa>lei His refusal, Mr. Sayler stales, was due txj his belief that sin' amt tie doctor attained success at the ganu by a system of signals. Grace Davis and other girls auo Godfrey Ruble stopped to chat foi a moment with Mr. Sayler at tin front gate just a few minutes belor* he was slain. He was in a good hu mor. T-hey had left Sayler abou three minutes when they heard th fatal shots. Three bullets were found in tin banker's body and in the wall. > fifth bullet was found embodied it aa outside wall, whereas the slaying occurred in the house, and a ftftl empty shell tallying with the other.- found in the house was found on tin lawn. This fact is connected by th* State's attorney with a wound it Dr. Miller s right wrist. The doctor's explanation of bis damaged wrist Is that he .was sho' by his own pistol during a struggle with Mr. Sayler. The discovery a, a fifth empty shell, however, hat opened up a line of inquiry to whicl the State attaches much importance After the shoting of Sayler. Dr. Mil ler was alone with the body for a time while the others went for as •*i#lance. IVhen they returned he wav on the porch complaining of hiv wounded wrist.

When the crash came, for fifteen feet the bow of the Scott penetrated he side of The Cowle. In three min- ttes the Cowle had settled to the bottom of Lake Superior. A lipe was thrown from the deck uf the Scott to the forward deck of he Cowle and three members of the •few escaped by this means.

Orville Wright Monday evening made a very successful flight in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer, Va., near Washington, remaining in the air five minutes and thirty seconds, during which time the machine at tained the exceptional speed of forty miles an hour and circled the parade grounds half g dozen times, a total distance of about three and a half miles. A strong breeze prevented the Wright brothers from starting the aeroplane immediately after it was brought from the shed. While wait ing for favorable conditions, they examined the machine carefully and chatted with prominent persons who had gone over from Washington to witness the trial. With Count von Verastorff, Ger man ambassador, the Wrights talked at length explaining the working of the machine. Mrs. Nicholas Long- worth, daughter of Ex-President Roosevelt, enthusiastically examined the aeroplane, as did Secretary of the Navy Meyer. When the signal finally was given to start, the machine shot forward and mounted gracefully into the light breeze. Orville Wright guided the dyer to the lower end of the large parade ground and circled around toward the starting point, gradually rising higher from the ground. Six times he rounded the course, the machine attaining an average speed of about forty miles an hour, according to Mr. Wright. After passing the crowd the sixth time the aviator decided to make a landing because the motor occasion ally was missing a spark. He de scended early and lighted with no apparent jar, the machine sliding smoothly over the ground, until it came to a stop at a point near the shed. Both of the Wrights expressed themselves as pleased with the per formance. They intend to make only short flights until the new bearings have become worn down and the pro pelling motor is working perfectly. When these things have adjusted themselves to the satisfaction of the aviators they intend to attack their main task, to which these minor flights are preliminary—that of satisfying the conditions prescribed by the Government for the official test.
